We recently had a building and termite inspection done by DeLucks, and are very impressed with their services. Melina and Stuart were incredibly professional, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish. During the inspection, they checked every nook and cranny of the property for potential issues, and they were happy to answer any questions we had. The comprehensive report detailed all of their findings, complete with photos and recommendations for any necessary repairs or followups. DeLucks' attention to detail are truly second to none. I highly recommend them for anyone in need of a building and termite inspection.

I recommend DeLucks Building and Pest Inspections to my customers as I know they will be getting great service, expert advice, and a professional report that will give them piece of mind when purchasing a property.

The process of purchasing, obtaining finance, and ensuring the end result is a happy client with a wonderful home, is made a little bit easier when I know they can trust the inspection and that the decades of experience Stuart has will ensure the client is aware of any concerns ahead of the property settlement.

If you want to trust the property inspection report that you receive when buying or building a home look no further than Delucks for experience and expertise in the industry.
