After already earning a certificate of training through Carson Dunlop, I decided to hire Gary for his one on one training and mentoring before doing my practical license test inspection. 3 days with Gary were every bit as, if not more, valuable in backing up months of book work. Gary has a huge amount of knowledge and a very wide breadth of experience. The training was worth every penny and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for training for anyone, and he'd definitely be the guy I would want to hire to inspect a home I was buying. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience
Gary inspected a house for us. He is very responsive to emails and text messages, patiently and clearly answers questions, and very good at explaining things to a lay person. You know that he is in your court when you observe how thoroughly and meticulously inspects the home. The home inspection report was completed the morning after the inspection and was very well done with pictures, some video and clearly written descriptions of issues and recommended actions/followup. Gary found several issues with the house and one of the issues would have costs thousands to address. We plan on using Gary to inspect the another house in the near future.
The statements and claims made by the 'Certified Master Home Inspector', in his report, without proper evidence, tests or foundation and based on what would seem, nothing more than pure guesswork, were too ridiculous for words! I'm pleased we were able to assist you in disputing his claims and that you were able to move forward with your legalities.
Gary was very detailed and extremely through in the inspection of a home I eventually purchased. No detail escaped his attention and he provided a verbal report before the written report. The formal written report was detailed, professional and included pictures which was very helpful. Highly recommended.
I took the Sherlock Homes home inspector course with Mr. Gary Rose. Gary is an incredible instructor with true hands on knowledge and experience in home inspections. I have no hesitation with hiring Gary as an instructor or home inspector. Worth every penny!
Gary was incredibly flexible - as we had a bit of a crazy schedule to work around. He was easy to reach when we had to adjust times, and was amazingly accommodating! Through out the inspection he carefully explained things and patiently answered our questions. We have dealt with other inspectors in the past who have whipped through the house and while the inspection may have been completely accurate, we felt as though we were being a pain asking questions as the inspector was definitely rushed.. Dealing with Gary was completely the opposite. He took us through the inspection and was extremely thorough. This was a house that had lots of renovations to do and he gave us very detailed information about the house as well as shared his opinion (as a good friend or member of the family would do). He went above and beyond in every way, including contacting us well after we had received our report to let us know about a product on the market that could help us remedy one of the concerns we had about the house. Gary was instrumental in helping us make the decision of whether or not we wanted to go through with this purchase and we are writing because we want to share with others the excellent service he gave to us. Hopefully this is our last home purchase, but if not, we will definitely seek Gary's services again.
Gary was extremely thorough and his attention to detail was great. Communication was very clear and he was able to carry out the home inspection within a weeks notice. I highly recommend Gary's services.
We got an 11th month warranty inspection done with Sherlock Homes Inspectors for our new home in Okotoks and we couldn't have chosen anyone better to do our inspection! Gary was on time, very thorough and inspected things we didn't even think of! He used thermal imaging during the home inspection and also gave us home maintenance tips as we went along. Within 48hrs of the home inspection being done, we were emailed a huge and very detailed report, including pictures of his findings and he was also available for any questions or concerns we had. It was well worth the money and we are so glad we choose Sherlock Homes Inspectors!
Sherlock Homes Inspection Services should be your 1st choice if your buying a home or just want to know more about your own home. Gary provides a punctional professional and in depth inspection. He will provide an excellent report of the inspection very quickly following that inspection. We have no hesitation in recommending Sherlock Homes Inspections and will definitely be using their services when needed.
I just sat my final two InterNACHI exams, and did my test inspection & peer review with Gary Rose at Sherlock Homes Inspectors.
Like other students have commented on here, Gary is very knowledgeable and an awesome inspector! Gary provides is proper “hands on” training, and there is absolutely no substitute for proper experience!
Gary’s training has given me great confidence to complete a proper home inspection, and provide my clients with a clear, very detailed and concise report.
Gary was great! I called him and he was able to make time for our inspection within a few short days, he was very thorough and explained everything he saw in the home to me as he found it and got us the written report within 24hours!Thanks again Gary!
Gary was extremely effective, personable and detailed. He had my report to me promptly and it was very thorough and gave me an organized list of each part of the home. I have already recommended him to other people needing a home inspection.
Gary very genuine,knowledgable and thorough home inspector with a great sense of humour. He spent six hours doing our home inspection on our prospective acreage and produced a report that was understandable and illustrated with clear photographs and infra red images. Because of this report, we were able to re-negotiate our offer price.
Gary is not affiliated to any realtor and because of this you can have total faith in his work and report. I would recommend Gary to anyone who wants the best home inspection that money can buy.
The 420$ fee was well worth the money, as the inspection – which I’d describe as more of an investigation, nearly 4 hours worth, saved us almost 7,200$ after renegotiation with the problems Gary uncovered.
Given my last home inspector experience - who I’ll spare the embarrassment of, charged me 450$ for 75 minutes with no end of issues that I later discovered - having purchased the property. Admittedly they were small issues, but it still cost me nearly 1,450$ to put right!
The inspector said he’d deal with it but didn’t, all future calls then to this Redneck outfit, were either ignored or cut off – their loss, I shall never be using them again that’s for sure!
Homes is an investigator – not an inspector! Thank you for all your hard work & technical advice Gary – very much appreciated!
Hi Gary Rose, we appreciate everything you did for us. Thanks for inspecting the house thoroughly. We would definitely refer you to some of our friends. may you have a prosperous new year. God Bless!
Gary Rose of SherlockHomes Inspectors, in my opinion is an extremely knowledgable, efficient, methodical and very professional house inspector. I would highly recommend Gary to anyone seeking an inspection. Gary was kind enough to oblige and do the inspection of our house at a very short notice. Thank You Gary.
Hired Sherlock Homes Inspectors to inspect & report on some electrical and construction work we’d had completed by a local company.
We were very impressed by Gary from the word go! He spent just over 2 days going through various test procedures on the electrical system, and uncovered everything from some serious grounding issues, misaligned pot lights – some fitted with no fire protection, wiring reversed on receptacles & GFCI’s that failed using his high tech test equipment.
Things were no better on the construction and heating side either, incorrect drywall used, located a gas leak too – although this was nothing to do with the builders.
The report came and was just as impressive, we’re currently suing the builder and Gary as agreed to support & help us all the way, and appear as our witness too!
We’re currently having remedial work carried out, and hired Gary to oversee things as to progress and standards…
These days, reliable, trustworthy & professional people are hard to come by. As another poster said on Google, Gary is one of the good guys and his standards are second to none!
He’s a straight shooter and tells you exactly how it is, you might not like what he says, but I can guarantee you no matter what - it will be the truth with no candy coating!
I had a home inspection completed by Sherlock Homes Inspectors, Gary, in Calgary. The service was great and very detailed. It took more than 3 hours. I highly recommend him for your home services.
I have had Gary Rose do a number of electrical jobs for over the past year. Gary is very knowledgeable, professional & efficient. He is also very personable. I would not hesitate to recommend Sherlock Homes to anyone that has an electrical problem to solve. Thanks Gary for the great work! Kris Cole
We are very pleased to recommend the services of Sherlock Homes Inspectors.
The service we received from Gary was second to none. He was extremely detailed in the inspection of our Acreage and we felt that our interests were always a priority.
In addition, Gary went over and beyond our expectations and researched information that we needed to find out. Sherlock Homes Inspectors offers a great price, for a very indepth service, and we certainly got our home inspection fee back with what was saved in areas that were identified where work was needed.
In conclusion, a great company with great service that is highly recommended!
We had a home inspection completed by Sherlock Homes Inspectors - Okotoks. They came highly recommended and I was impressed by Gary's candidness, honesty, integrity & attention to detail.
The inspection took nearly 4 hours, we received great service, a detailed report & we'd have no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone who's looking for quality & the 'truth' - as to the current state of their home, or forthcoming purchase!
