Upon completing my training to become a Home Inspector, I sought out an experienced professional to conduct my test inspection. Following a glowing recommendation from a fellow inspector, I decided to engage Gary at Sherlock Homes Inspection. From the outset, my encounter with Gary was nothing short of outstanding.
Gary's expertise in home inspection was immediately apparent. He promptly responded to my inquiry, displaying a keen interest in understanding my specific needs as a novice inspector. Throughout our correspondence, his professionalism and meticulous attention to detail were consistently evident.
During our time together, Gary generously shared his knowledge and expertise, filling in the gaps left by my training program. He went the extra mile to assist me, offering invaluable insights that I'm confident will prove invaluable in my career as a Home Inspector.
I wholeheartedly recommend Gary to anyone seeking to complete their training or requiring a thorough home inspection. His dedication to his craft and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction make him an invaluable asset in the field.
Hi Brek,
Thank you for your review. I'm glad you're happy and 'Good Luck' in your new venture.

Gary
I met Gary when he proctored my exam to become a Certified Home Inspector. I found Gary to be very professional and knowledgeable. So much so, that I am building my business model based on his. Thank you Gary for your guidance and professionalism.

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.
Hi Phil,
Many thanks for your review and comments. Just the fact that you were prepared to travel from Edmonton, stay over in Calgary and attend training in Okotoks, speaks volumes about what we offer. You will make a great inspector as you possess all the right qualities, detail and attitude that are required in order to make a good inspector. Your test inspection report was very well constructed and very detailed. I'd actually go as far as to say, it was far superior to reports I've seen from inspectors currently running around Calgary and Okotoks and carry the designation of a CMI; it's laughable!
Gary inspected a house for us recently and cannot recommend him enough. He was very thorough and flagged all issues no matter how small they may seem. He produced the report for us the next day and went the extra mile with following up and supporting us in any way he could. In the end he saved us money and flagged an issue that otherwise may have gone unnoticed. If we ever need a home inspection in the future we will definitely be using Gary again!
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.
Many thanks for the review Lena, it was a pleasure working with you. I'm also pleased we were able to save you lots of stress; not to mention $20,000.00 plus dollars!
I look forward to inspecting your new home. 'Good Luck' with your search.

Gary helped reviewing the work of another inspector that made claims that were not supported by the evidence/observations and provided everything I needed to resolve the issue. If you need a real expert - Gary's the guy with the experience referred to by other inspectors.
Hi Coffee,
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.
Thank you for the review.

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!
Hi Brendan,
Many thanks for your review. You'll make a great inspector! Cochrane, get ready for a serious professional!
Gary was amazing. He recently inspected two homes for me - one had issues which I with an untrained eye could not see.
He was honest and professional throughout - truly a man of integrity.
I would not hesitate to use Sherlock Homes again and I would request Gary complete the inspection.
I am not from the area and Gary kept me informed every step of the way.
With Gary’s evaluations, I have found the home that meets my needs .
Dear Eileen,
Many thanks for your review, we appreciate your comments and 'Good Luck' in your new home. I'm glad we were able to save you from a 'Money-pit' the first time around.
Kind regards,
Gary
Gary is thorough, honest, and extremely knowledgeable. We couldn’t have been happier that we hired him to do our home inspection. He took his time and made sure not to miss any details while giving great advice and tips along the way on home repair. The turn around time for the report was quick and the report itself was very thorough, reiterating everything that was talked about in person during the inspection. I was impressed to have also received a follow up call to ensure all questions and concerns were addressed. He gave us peace of mind, there’s no price tag on that! I highly recommend him!!!
Many thanks for reviewing your experience with us Rose; it was a pleasure to meet you and your family.
"Good Luck" in your new home.
