Ottawa's Home InspectorYou Can Trust
Ray has been inspecting homes across Ottawa and the eastern Ottawa Valley to OAHI Standards using his experience and education provided by the Accredited Carson Dunlop Home Inspection program, The Gold standard in home inspection and education since 1978. He brings deep knowledge of local construction, Ottawa's climate challenges, and the specific issues that affect homes in this region.
Before founding Ray's Home Inspections, Ray spent 20+ years in construction installing, inspecting, and maintaining critical building systems in both commercial and residential environments — giving him a builder's eye for what's behind the walls, not just what's visible on the surface. That hands-on background is what sets his inspections apart.

Built on a Foundation of Experience
Ray has spent his entire career serving Ottawa Valley clients in construction, maintenance, repair and inspections for building and life safety systems using his knowledge and dedication to keep buildings and their systems safe and operational. The most critical systems fail when you least expect it and a thorough inspection before purchase will give peace of mind that the existing deficiencies are documented before purchase so they can be remedied. — Ray's background means he knows exactly where to look.
Ray lives in the outskirts of Ottawa with his family and is deeply invested in helping his neighbors make informed decisions about their homes. When he's not inspecting, he's likely renovating something himself.
