Testimonials

Great inspection! Aulden not only gauged the quality of the house, but provided great ideas in terms of cost-effective solutions to potential issues and concerns. The videos are a great addition to the report as they dynamically combine comments and visuals on portions of the inspections and can better follow the concern or ideas being discussed.

Aulden did a very thorough and professional inspection if my property, he went over every detail with me with a very clear explanation and recommendations for any defects and needed repairs, the report has many video clips with explanations. I would highly recommend Aulden to anyone who wants a professional and thorough property inspection.
- B.W., February 2024
Aulden has a vast knowledge of residential construction thus makes him a very natural choice for us. He is very thorough and creates a lot of notes to hand off for a potential buyer for review. We were looking at a 40+ year old house that had been sitting vacant for a while. I worked in commercial and residential construction for 30 years. I starting out sweeping floors and then all the way up to superintendent. I have dealt with many inspectors for each phase from ground work to completion and Aulden shines as an inspector. Aulden gave us more plenty of information for what we would need to make our decision on this old house. His tips and suggestions for any deficiencies were very valuable. His knowledge of new and old construction as well as what is necessary to meet building is just one thing that makes his inspections worth every dollar for what he does. Aulden is like a CSI investigator as he goes through a structure like it was a crime scene. We will be doing business with Aulden again, I know that for a fact.

I contacted three Home Inspection services. I favored Aulden's 3P response: Prompt, Professional, Personable. He was the right choice. He is thorough, fact based, unbiased, efficient. His inspection approach of using photos and videos are hugely effective. Understanding is gained quickly, as he verbally highlights issues with video images. I was extremely impressed that within minutes after leaving my home, I received his report. Furthermore, take few minutes to check out his sample report on his website https://borderhi.com/sample-reports/ and You Tube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@borderpropertyinspections2634 ... there is a wealth of helpful info in video form to expand one's understanding and awareness. I highly recommend Aulden. You won't be disappointed.

- G.G., Lloydminster Alb, December 2021
Great doing business with Mr. Aulden Reid. Was very pleasant from the start, I did call other inspectors but they tried selling unnecessary additions to make more money. He was honest and very thorough. Met with him at the end of inspection, and he briefly walked me through what he thought was outstanding about the house and what needed improvement. He also sent videos and photos with details on his observations so we could review it more carefully to make a final judgment regarding the state of the property. Salamat Sr. Aulden ??

Aulden was very thorough and professional during our recent inspection of a new home purchase. There was more than enough detail to satisfy exactly what I was looking for in regards to information post inspection and he was also very accommodating to brave the elements and inspect all aspects of the home inside and out (mind you it was -40 with the windchill and very windy this day) and that didn’t stop Aulden from inspecting the snow covered roof and eavestroughs. I highly recommend Aulden to anyone requiring a thorough and honest home inspection. The post inspection videos and report itself were immaculate and the pre inspection communication made things so simple and painless for us. Thank you Aulden!

- Z.F., April 2017
Aulden gave a great thorough inspection which was needed at a home I was looking at purchasing. When it comes to price this could be, in my opinion, your best money spent as a home purchaser. If it wasn't for Aulden, there were a couple of points many inspectors may have missed due to Aulden having the correct tools for the job such as a sewer scope that most inspectors do not do. Do not hesitate to get him in for your home inspection. This is a very in expensive rate for what is most likely to be the largest purchase of your life.
- W.B., April 2017
I would strongly recommend Aulden Reid to do your home inspection, he knows what to look for and he's very thorough, we couldn't have picked a better home inspector.
- C.J., April 2017
Very thorough inspection and gave very good advice.
- P.L., March 2017

thank you for doing an awesome job ....really appreciate it. the price is worth to pay.
- C.S., Lloydminster SK, July 2016
Greatly appreciate your total honesty during the inspection of my home. As the home owner, it can be very important to get a professional inspection(s) that could help identify any safety issues, repairs, modifications or any recommendations that may assist the owner to better make decisions as to what should be a priority repair or basic maintenance repairs. The inspection and cost(s) are well worth it and could help to save some possible unforeseen more costly repairs later on that the home owner might have overlook or just didn't know! It could also help protect his property and investment in the long term or should he decide to sell his home later on. Thanks Again!

Aulden was very thorough and inspected every part of the house from top to bottom as well as the detached garage. The thermal imaging and sewer scope scope put to rest or confirmed any concerns we had concerning the property inspected for us. His final report is excellent and easy to understand and accounts for all his findings during the inspection. I have accompanied several home inspectors through home in inspections over the years, this was the most inclusive professionally done inspection I have ever seen. Barry Sallstrom St.Paul
