About
Your inspector, Jean-Michel Barbier
APCHQ member, CEI certified and Snell Group certified thermographer, serving buyers, sellers and investors across the Outaouais.
A dedicated inspector, serving the people of the Outaouais
Jean-Michel Barbier inspects properties in Gatineau and across the Outaouais with a simple belief: you deserve to know exactly what you are getting into before you sign.
Every inspection is carried out with method and transparency. On site, he takes the time to explain his observations, answer questions and put things in perspective. The report, delivered within 24 to 48 hours, turns all of that into a clear document, backed by photos.
From the century-old buildings of Hull to the new construction of Cantley, including income properties and thermography, he puts his expertise to work for one thing: your peace of mind.
That focus on the report took him beyond the field: unable to find the tool he wanted, he co-founded Habita, the inspection platform his reports are produced on today. See what the report you receive contains.
