Residential, luxury and commercial inspections by Kyle Dowdeswell, an Alberta licensed home inspector based in Canmore. Mountain homes, city homes and everything in between, with a clear digital report you can act on.
Each credential below links to the organisation that issued it, so you can confirm it yourself before you book.
Mountain estates, custom residences and executive homes have more systems, more glass, more roof and more to go wrong behind the finishes. RMHI Signature is the inspection Kyle built for buyers of these homes.
Kyle books no more than one Signature inspection a day, so a large or complex home gets all the time it needs.
Every Signature inspection is led by Kyle Dowdeswell, who has extensive experience inspecting luxury properties across Canmore, Banff, Calgary and Southern Alberta.
Large building envelopes, multiple furnaces and boilers, in-floor heating, HRV/ERV systems and extensive glazing, each evaluated with the time it needs.
Join the end of the inspection to go through the findings, get the report within 24 hours, and book a follow-up call for your questions.
Luxury and custom homes in the Rockies come with features that call for a more specialised approach. These are the areas Kyle spends extra time on.
Complex rooflines, timber, big windows and several decks and balconies, all under heavy snow.
Custom homes often have more equipment than a typical house, and all of it needs looking at.
The Bow Valley's weather finds every weak spot in a house.
From a condo purchase to a mountain estate, a new build or an apartment building, every inspection follows the applicable Standards of Practice.
Inspections for buying, selling, building and owning a home.
Focused inspections you can add to a home inspection or book on their own. Thermal imaging is included in every inspection.

“My Wife and I are moving to Calgary from another province and it was not possible for us to be present at the time of our new home inspection. However, Kyle provided us with a very relevant summary over the phone and a very detailed and profound report with pictures.”
An annual home maintenance inspection gives you a dated, photographed record of the home’s condition and a list of what needs attention before small problems grow.

Kyle came to home inspection after decades of hands-on work in home improvement and construction. He has completed thousands of inspections and earned the Certified Master Inspector® designation from the Master Inspector Certification Board, and he is a CCPIA member for commercial property.
Living in Canmore, he knows what mountain and alpine homes go through, from moisture and insulation to foundations on uneven ground. Away from work you’ll find him hiking, biking or fishing in the Rockies with his wife and their dog.
Rocky Mountain Home Inspections did a very professional job inspecting a property in Canmore that I am interested in buying. They are extremely thorough and have given me a comprehensive report of the findings as well as a summary that is easy to follow. If there was anything I didn't understand they were available and happy to explain everything. Excellent work. They were also very accommodating when my schedule changed.
We were very happy with Kyle's inspection of a condominium unit we are purchasing in Banff. Kyle replied quickly to confirm our requested time for the inspection and was right on time for the tour of the property. His report was ready quickly and is extremely thorough and helpful, highlighting and explaining the significance of any deficiencies noted. We definitely would recommend Kyle and Rocky Mountain Home Inspections.
