15+ years of construction and real estate experience. I find what actually costs you money, gives you negotiation leverage, and keeps you from inheriting someone else's problems.
Most inspectors check boxes. I read houses. There's a difference — and it shows up in your wallet.
15+ years building homes in Ontario. I don't guess at what's behind the walls. I know how homes are constructed, where builders cut corners, and what fails first.
As an active real estate professional, I know how inspection findings translate to negotiation leverage. My reports tell you what matters for your deal and your bottom line.
I don't waste your time on cosmetic items. I prioritize what actually costs money and creates risk. Every finding is tied to a real-world consequence — not inspector theatre.

Book Your Inspection →I didn't start as an inspector. I started in construction — and that changes everything.
I've spent over 15 years in the Ontario construction industry. I've framed walls, poured foundations, supervised trades, and seen firsthand how homes get built — and where things go wrong when nobody's watching.
I'm also an active real estate professional. I've worked with buyers and sellers across the Greater Toronto Area. I've seen deals collapse because of preventable inspection findings — and buyers close on homes with major problems because their inspector missed what mattered.
That's why I started Before The Keys. The industry needs inspectors who understand both sides: the construction side and the transaction side. Most inspectors identify problems. I understand what those problems actually cost — and how they impact your deal.
I give you a clear, prioritized assessment of what affects your money, your safety, and your negotiating position. I tell you what matters and skip what doesn't.
You're not paying for a checklist — you're paying for 15 years of knowing what to look for.
