At Homeshield Inspections Ltd., my goal is simple: to help home buyers, sellers, and homeowners make confident decisions with clear, practical information.
 

My name is Joshua Burleigh, and I’m a licensed home inspector in British Columbia, CPBC Licence #89977. Before becoming a home inspector, I spent years working hands-on in construction, roofing, exteriors, safety, and property-related work. That experience gave me a real-world understanding of how homes are built, how they age, where problems commonly start, and what issues can become expensive if they are missed.
 

I started Homeshield because I believe a home inspection should be more than a checklist. A good inspection should help you understand the home, not overwhelm you. My job is to look carefully, explain clearly, and give you practical information you can actually use.
 

Real Construction Experience
 

A lot of concerns in a home come down to water, roofing, drainage, exterior details, crawlspaces, ventilation, and aging materials. Because of my background in roofing and construction, I pay close attention to the areas where problems often begin: roofs, gutters, fascia, soffits, siding, decks, grading, windows, moisture staining, and visible signs of poor repairs or deferred maintenance.
That hands-on experience helps me explain not only what I’m seeing, but also why it matters and what the next step should be.
 

Local Kootenay Knowledge
 

Homes in the Kootenays have their own challenges. We see older homes, rural properties, steep roofs, crawlspaces, additions, wood heat, drainage concerns, snow load issues, DIY renovations, and homes built or repaired over many different eras.
 

Homeshield Inspections Ltd. proudly serves Salmo, Nelson, Castlegar, Trail, Rossland, Creston, Kaslo, New Denver, Grand Forks, and surrounding areas.
 

Clear Reports. Practical Advice.
 

Every inspection is completed with the goal of giving you a clear picture of the property. I use modern inspection tools when appropriate, including drone roof inspection, thermal imaging, moisture testing, receptacle testing, and gas leak detection.

Your report is written in plain language with photos and practical recommendations, so you understand what is urgent, what should be monitored, what may require a qualified trade, and what is normal maintenance.
 

My Promise
 

I treat every inspection like I’m helping someone make one of the biggest decisions of their life — because that’s exactly what it is.

Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a property, or trying to better understand the condition of your current home, Homeshield Inspections Ltd. is here to help you move forward with confidence.
