20+ years. Mostly word of mouth.

"Reasonable price. I wanted an inspection for a co-op unit, and Daren delivered! He explained exactly how his inspection goes, and walked me through his findings after he was done inspecting. The report he sent me was detailed with all of the information."

"Daren provided an excellent home inspection, was extremely thorough and meticulous in documenting everything he found. He provided an excellent report the following day with detailed descriptions of various issues & high quality photos."

"Daren is hands down the best inspector we’ve ever worked with, no contest. We’ve had the privilege of working with him twice now: first for our apartment, and then again for our house. He’s the only inspector we trust, and the only one we’ll hire."

"Daren accommodated our co-op inspection on very short notice. He arrived on time and was very professional and knowledgeable. After conducting a thorough inspection, he walked us through the property, pointing out his observations and any applicable recommendations."

"Daren came earlier than scheduled time to make sure he's not late for the appointment. Super professional and thorough, even my realtor was impressed. He found the smallest things not seen to the naked eye. The report was created quickly and detailed."

"Daren was recommended by a friend, so my husband and I decided to hire him as our inspector. Daren showed up promptly and prepared. Being that my husband and father both work in trades, they weren't expecting him to catch some little things, but he caught everything!"

"I've worked with Daren on four properties, and he's really awesome at what he does. He knows a lot about houses and pays close attention to every little detail during inspections."

"Excellent experience. Daren was extremely thorough. It's reassuring to know any issues of a property before buying. I would highly recommend his work."

"Daren was referred to me by a friend for a home inspection. I have hired him twice to inspect two different homes. I was impressed by his professionalism, thoroughness and dedication each time."

"Great work! Daren was very thorough, extremely punctual, professional and an expert in his field. He is very buyer friendly and does an amazing job. As a buyer, I would highly recommend his services."

"Darren was very thorough and paid close attention to detail. You can tell he has his clients best interest in mind and is quite knowledgeable about houses inside and out. I would recommend him to anyone in need of inspection services."

"As first-time homebuyers, Darren walked us through the home inspection process with insight, thoughtfulness, and clarity. His report was meticulous and thorough, while also being understandable and educational."

"Daren is absolutely phenomenal. My wife and I are first time homebuyers and like most, we’re afraid of everything that comes along with the process. When looking for a home inspector, we called several others before coming across Homestar. Daren gave us complete clarity."

"Daren helped my wife and I with the inspection for a two-bedroom condominium we’re hoping to buy, and he was incredibly thorough. He gave us great advice on things to keep in mind with this type of property, and his pricing was very fair."

"Darren is a true professional and provided a great experience for me. He was able to set up a next day inspection for me and was very thorough and detailed in his assessment. His findings, some of which I had personally overlooked, allowed me to negotiate a better deal with the seller."

"Daren Koniuk of HomeStar Inspection Services came to a condo unit that we are looking to purchase. We were told to get an inspection asap and contacted him on a Friday afternoon. He accommodated us immediately and provided an exceptional inspection."

"You will not find a better inspector. We have used him for the past 10 years. He had inspected about 6 homes for us. Takes his time to check all details. Very professional and provides honest opinions. Price is great for the amount of work."

"Daren answered so many of our questions at the inspection - he was really able to put our first-time homeowners fears to rest! He was extremely thorough, printed the report on-site and emailed the file with accompanying pictures within hours of the inspection."

"For a first time buyer, I didn’t know what to expect. Our inspector was very knowledgeable of what he was doing, he was able to explain whenever I had a question, and he was very thorough with the process. It had me at peace knowing there was an inspector as professional and helpful as Daren."

"Reasonable price. Daren was great to work with. He was responsive, thorough, and worked efficiently throughout the home inspection process."
