Thorough inspections. Straight answers. Local service.
Buying a home is a major investment. A professional home inspection can help you understand the condition of the property before you make an important decision.
I'm Craig Bush, owner and inspector at 4 Winds Home Inspections. I provide thorough, professional home inspections throughout Vancouver Island, with a focus on clear communication and practical information you can understand.

Know What You're Buying
A home can look great on the surface while important issues are developing underneath.
During an inspection, I look for conditions that may affect safety, function, maintenance, and future repair needs.
My goal isn't simply to find problems. It's to help you understand what matters, what doesn't, and what may need further attention.
