Michael Burfitt

InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector

When I started Inside Edge in the Spring of 2021, I wanted to make sure that our company was built for success from day one with unmatched credentials and that we would become a trusted source of home inspections from day one. Our company was the result of three years of hard work and careful planning, and we continue to grow every day. I have an extensive background in my professional career that should remove any doubts that you are hiring a top-quality home inspector to provide you with the best home inspection possible. 

Experience

​In addition to being an experienced and Certified Professional Inspector from the world's largest home inspection organization, I have an additional 15 years' experience in Building Operations & Maintenance, where I gained my extensive knowledge of the interdependency of various building systems such as plumbing, electrical & HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning). Previous to this, I wore the "green shirt" at a major home improvement retailer, where I developed my passion for buildings, construction and helping homeowners live in a safe and healthy home, all within their budget constraints. I have also volunteered with many community organizations, most notably Habitat for Humanity Canada. With my knowledge of modern building construction and system design & maintenance it is my aim to assist everyone with their goal of having a safe, healthy, cost and energy efficient home to live in. ​
