• In the Spring of 2016, Cam wrote a series of hard hitting "Ask The Inspector" columns driving home the need for licencing in Ontario.

• In September of 2016, at her request, Cam travelled to Queens Park to meet with the new Minister of Consumer and Government Services, Marie-France Lalonde, for a meeting on the proposed home inspection legislation. See letter here.
  
  
• Cam was in attendance, on Nov. 3, 2016, for the announcement as Minister Lalonde introduced legislation to license home inspectors in Ontario. This legislation, which is expected to be functional by early 2019, will require every home inspector in Ontario be licensed. This is the culmination of over 15 years of effort by a group of dedicated individuals, Cam among them, to bring attention to this important legislation to protect every Ontario Home Buyer.

​On a personal note, Cam's former home in Central Frontenac was written up in a number of TorStar articles where the home was referred to as a "Showcase of Solar Technology."

Cam and his life partner, Donna Dillman, recently turned a rural church, circa 1894, into an Energuide 84 home. This renovation project can be viewed at http://alltechgreenchurch.ca/  where you will find the series of columns that provided readers with real time, step by step information on how the project was completed; 21 columns in all over a six month period in 2013.

Cam has since turned the Church Sunday School/Education Room into a 2 bedroomed B&B and, with his assistant, Josh, as a member of the construction crew, added an 856 sq. ft. addition for a Spa, as well as decks on three levels. Each of the decks hold a hot, cool or cold tub and the lower deck also features an Amish built Finnish Sauna. Inside, there are change rooms for both men and women, a Quiet Room, two FAR Infra-red saunas, a washroom and a third guest room, with twin beds. This project was built to exceed the International Passive Haus Guidelines. In its first winter, the building had an estimated heating cost of under $200; a testament to Cam's knowledge on green buildings. The build was featured in Cam's Green Tech; the series column.

Know all the facts beforehand...

​Buying a home can be one of the most exhilarating times in your life and it can also be incredibly overwhelming. An All-Tech Home Inspection prior to your purchase can relieve a considerable amount of apprehension. By the end of the home inspection, you will understand the home's current condition, thereby reducing the chance of an unpleasant and, possibly, costly surprise after you have taken possession. Let the investment of a house inspection give you peace of mind.


To avoid untimely surprises, spend your money smartly...​

The other focus of a home inspection is maintenance. Just like a car, all homes require continuing care and upgrades. During the inspection you will be given estimated ages and life spans of the major components. With this information you can create a timetable and budget for any repairs or upgrades that may be necessary.

Trust experience and knowledge...

​Cam Allen, is a Kingston home inspector and retired builder, serving Eastern Ontario, active in the National Home Inspection Certification Council (NHICC) and a member of the National Occupation Standard (NOS) Committee for Canada. We will use our  extensive  experience and knowledge to supply you with the information to make an educated and comfortable decision about this house - whether to buy the house as it is, renegotiate or keep shopping. Understand that every home, be it modern or heritage can have issues, but for every problem there is a solution.

Since 2001, Cam has been answering home owners' questions in his weekly column, “Ask the Inspector” in the Kingston Whig Standard. To read some of the archives of his columns please see the“Ask the Inspector” page on the menu, above. In 2008, Cam began the Green Tech; the series column, based on green home technology.

Money well spent...

The inspection confirms the positive aspects about the home, as well any repairs that may be necessary. All Tech's experience can assist you in creating a timetable for any required repairs. By prioritizing your 'things to do' list, minor repairs remain minor and your budget stays in line.

Added services for the home buyer or current owner can provide valuable information on specific areas of concern. All-Tech is certified in Thermal Imaging Inspection/testing. To our knowledge, we are the only Kingston based Consulting Group to offer all of these additional services and benefits to the discriminating home buyer or owner.


A home inspection is a smart investment.

Usually your initial visit to the house is brief. During this short walk through, your mind is multi tasking - you will be assessing the aesthetics of the home, how good a location is it, any obvious concerns and its affordability, etc. Let a professional home inspector, whose sole focus is to evaluate the structural integrity and operations of the home, confirm that the house is safe and sound.

Ignorance is not bliss or smart. You may be purchasing a turnkey home. If not, know what you are getting into - know how and when you may have to spend your hard earned money. At the conclusion of the home inspection, you will have the foundation and the knowledge that is necessary to make your house a great home.

Remember - no home comes with a money-back guarantee.
