Your Trusted Home Inspector in Southern New Brunswick
East Coast Home Inspection has served homebuyers, sellers, and real estate professionals across Southern New Brunswick since 2010. Based in Hampton and serving communities from the Charlotte County border to Kings County, I bring RHI-certified expertise to every property, whether it is a century-old Victorian in uptown Saint John or a new build in Quispamsis.
I inspect hundreds of homes each year across this region. That volume means I have seen the specific issues that affect Southern New Brunswick properties: moisture intrusion from Bay of Fundy fog, aging knob and tube wiring in pre-war stock, foundation settlement in clay-heavy Kings County soil, and ice dam damage along the Fundy coast. This is not textbook knowledge. It comes from climbing into attics and crawlspaces in every community I serve.
I am an active member of five local chambers of commerce, and my 550+ Google reviews reflect the trust homebuyers across the region place in my work.
Why Local Inspection Knowledge Matters in Southern New Brunswick
Home inspection is not a one size fits all service. The housing stock, climate conditions, and building practices in Southern New Brunswick create challenges you will not find in inspection textbooks written for Ontario or British Columbia.
Regional housing stock varies widely. Saint John's older neighbourhoods (South End, West Side, the North End) feature pre-1950 construction with rubble stone foundations, original plumbing, and vermiculite insulation that may require radon testing. The suburban communities along the Kennebecasis Valley trend newer, with post-1980 construction that brings its own set of concerns: aging roof shingles, EIFS cladding, and undersized heat pumps.
Climate drives specific defects. The Bay of Fundy creates a microclimate across the southern half of the province. High humidity, salt air, and dramatic temperature swings between seasons accelerate wear on roofing, siding, and exterior trim. Coastal properties in St. Martins and Grand Bay-Westfield face different moisture exposure than inland properties in Sussex or Hampton.
Building practices differ by era and municipality. Older construction in Charlotte County often used balloon framing, which creates hidden fire spread paths that a general checklist will miss. Newer subdivisions in Quispamsis and Rothesay follow current NBC standards but can still have installation defects in HVAC, vapour barriers, and drainage. A local inspector recognizes these patterns on sight.
This is why I invest in ongoing training and carry specialty certifications: WETT-certified wood heating inspections, C-NRPP radon measurement and Analysis, and thermal imaging, all of which go beyond the standard home inspection scope.

Common Questions About Our Service Areas
How far do you travel for inspections?
I serve communities within a two-hour drive of my Hampton, NB office. That covers all of Southern New Brunswick, from St. Stephen on the Charlotte County border to Sussex and Petitcodiac to the east, and the entire Greater Saint John region. If you are not sure whether your property falls within my service area give us a call (506) 651-9461.
Do you inspect rural properties and acreages?
Yes. I regularly inspect rural properties, hobby farms, and acreages throughout Kings County, Charlotte County, and the Fundy coast. Rural properties often come with unique considerations like well water, septic systems, and outbuildings. I am experienced with all of these and know what to look for in a rural New Brunswick setting.
Is there a travel fee for inspections outside Saint John?
I publish transparent pricing for all service areas with no hidden fees. Travel is included in the inspection price for communities within my standard service radius. View current pricing here.
Can I book a specialty add-on for any service area?
Yes. All specialty services, including radon testing, WETT inspections, sewer scope, drone roof inspections, thermal imaging, and 360 virtual tours, are available in every community I serve. Most add-ons are completed during the same visit. Radon testing requires a minimum four-day monitoring period, so a brief second visit is needed for device collection.
