Spruce Grove and Stony Plain both grew heavily in the 1970s and 80s, slowed down for a stretch, then took off again around 2010. The result is a real mix of older properties and newer builds sitting side by side, and each era brings its own inspection considerations.
I’ve inspected homes throughout both communities and know what the 1970s builds typically carry, whether that’s aluminum wiring, poly-B piping from the late 80s, or undersized electrical service. For newer builds, I check for the building shortcuts that are easier to spot when you know what to look for.
Every home in Spruce Grove and Stony Plain gets the full inspection, including thermal imaging, drone roof photography, and a same-day report. Whether you’re buying a 1978 split-level or a 2018 two-storey, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting into.
I’ve inspected homes across Edmonton and every surrounding community for 15+ years. I know which neighbourhoods have groundwater issues, which building eras carry the biggest risks, and what Edmonton’s climate does to a home over time. That’s knowledge you can’t get from a generic inspection company.
Your inspection report lands in your inbox the same day, written in plain language with no jargon and no filler. At 14-15 pages, it covers what matters without burying you in paper. If you have questions, I’m available by phone to walk through it with you page by page.
Every inspection includes a thermal imaging camera scan and drone 4K photography of the roof. These tools have caught in-floor pipe leaks hidden in concrete, heat loss behind walls, and roof damage that no ground-level inspection would have found.
