Introduction

John Davis is the owner of Cabin to Castle Home Inspections. He previously worked as a framer in residential home construction before entering the Apprentice program at NAIT, where he became a red seal journeyman painter. Transforming his 1976 painting business into a general construction company, sold 27 years later after great success, John founded Cabin to Castle. It has now become the largest independent property inspection company in Alberta.

John shares why buyers and sellers can benefit from working with a trusted home inspector, and some common misconceptions surrounding what a home inspection entails.
