Luis Cardenas-Alvarez

Certified Professional Inspector
“Inspection is all about the details and what lies in between the cracks,” Luis says. During a recent condo inspection, he found rust on the exterior metal stairs. “Looking more closely, you could see the perforation on the column supporting the stairs, the metal was cracked.” Although he could have told the client, ‘need to rustproof the stairs’ he knew it was equally if not more important to tell them ” the structure supporting the stairs has a weakened, the column needs to be repaired”

Luis has been looking at building details for a very long time. Before performing inspections, Luis worked in construction. “I first got my hands messy working on homes,” he said. From building wood structure framing to windows, doors, flooring, drywall, and installing pot lights, he’s done it all. Still, woodwork has always been his favourite. “I just love to see the before and after,” he says. “And smelling the wood when making a cut? That’s the best part, the relaxing part.”

He also loves guiding new homeowners through the systems of a home: seeing how they all fit together. He says he gets great satisfaction from helping others find problems and coming up with solutions. “I always knew that one day I wanted to be an inspector; I love how homes work, and all the steps involved in building a home and I enjoy explaining and helping people understand it.”

His favorite type of house? “Bungalows. You get to see all sides, both inside and out. It’s the most “naked” house – you get to see the attic, the basement, you see it all” he laughs.

Luis enjoys spending time with family, and toiling on renovation projects, when he’s not working. Luis has spent a fair amount of time traveling the world. He has visited more than 30 countries including Japan, Peru, Latvia, and Morocco. “I love to meet the locals. I’m a people person,” he says. Luis speaks English, French and Spanish.

Luis is trained in construction at Centre de Formation Professionelle Pierre-Dupuy. He obtained his certificate in home inspection at Cégep Beauce-Appalaches. Luis is fully insured and a member in good standing of APCHQ.
