Why Hobman Homes

A different kind of inspection experience

Most inspectors hand you a report and move on. I make sure you leave understanding exactly what you have — and what to do about it.

Your Advocate

Working for the client — not the transaction. The goal is clear, thorough information so you can make confident, informed decisions about one of the biggest purchases of your life.

Modern Reports

Clear, professionally formatted reports with photos, plain-language observations, and practical recommendations. Delivered promptly — no generic boilerplate, no confusing jargon.

Inspection Services

All residential buildings, all inspected thoroughly

Whether you're buying, selling, building, or renovating, I inspect all types of residential properties across Northeast Saskatchewan and Northwest Manitoba.

Pre-Purchase Inspection

The most thorough look at your potential home before you commit. Know exactly what you're buying and what to expect — before conditions close.

Pre-Listing Inspection

Sellers — know what buyers will find before they do. Address issues on your terms, price with confidence, and move forward without surprises.

Suites & Secondary Dwellings

Basement suites, carriage houses, and secondary units are inspected as part of your property or as a standalone — fully documented.

Farm & Acreage Properties

Rural and acreage properties have unique considerations. I inspect homes, outbuildings, and systems with an understanding of agricultural and rural construction.

Real Findings, Real Inspections

This is what a thorough inspection finds

Every one of these was found on an actual inspection — many invisible until you know exactly where to look.

Disconnected flue venting — carbon monoxide risk
Safety
Disconnected Flue Venting

Furnace flue pipe found disconnected in the mechanical room — allowing carbon monoxide to bypass directly into the living space. Invisible to the eye without a thorough inspection of all mechanical systems.

Amateur DIY electrical wiring
Safety
Amateur DIY Electrical

Extensive amateur wiring mounted to a wood board — open junction boxes, unsecured conductors, and non-compliant connections throughout. A significant fire and safety hazard requiring a licensed electrician.

Severely deteriorated chimney masonry
Repair
Severely Deteriorated Chimney

Advanced masonry spalling and concrete cap failure exposing rotted structural wood below — found by physically walking the roof. This level of deterioration is only visible up close and is open to weather infiltration.

Failed shut-off valve hidden behind vanity drawer
Repair
Hidden Failed Shut-Off Valve

Plumbing shut-off valve found completely detached — concealed behind a vanity drawer that had to be removed to access it. Would have gone undetected in a standard walkthrough.

Insufficient attic insulation with blocked eave ventilation
Monitor
Insufficient Insulation & Blocked Eave Venting

Compressed insulation well below current standards, extending into the eave space and restricting airflow — found by physically entering the attic. Inadequate ventilation and insulation contribute to heat loss, ice damming, and moisture issues.

Wood rot at exterior door frame
Repair
Active Wood Rot — Exterior Frame

Paint failure at door frame allowing moisture infiltration and active wood rot, confirmed with probe. What looked like a cosmetic issue revealed significant structural deterioration beneath the surface.

Classic farmhouse exterior — residential home inspection

Built different — for good reason

Hobman Homes inspections are hands-on and thorough — that means getting on the roof, entering the attic, and going under the house into crawl spaces. The spaces some inspectors avoid are often where the most important findings are.

With use of drones, temp readings, and digital reports — the goal is to bring home inspection into the current. With a background as an Architectural Technologist and training in building science, homes are understood as complete systems — not a checklist of isolated components. That broader lens means connections get made that a generalist might miss.

The goal of every inspection is clarity. Clients leave understanding what they have, what needs attention, and what can wait — explained in plain language, without unnecessary alarm.
