TESTIMONIALS

“Being an amateur handy-man myself I was apprehensive of what value Mr. Carle Bérubé could bring. I was wrong – Mr. Bérubé’s through inspection of both my properties (including one brand new home) uncovered a number of risks that I had missed. Mr. Bérubé’s report for both inspections covered absolutely every aspect. His willingness to explain, in detail, was also very much appreciated”.
