About Us
Owl Home Inspections opened its doors during the early months of 2018 and has not looked back.
Lloyd came from a marine background where he worked along side his father at the family business for some 12.5 years until he felt the calling to become a designer of fine homes. So he packed up what he owned which wasn't much and moved from Channel - Port Aux Basques to the big city of St. John's where in his first night there soon found out what a one way street was and the trouble that could be had when half way up it and being confronted by vehicles traveling in the correct direction.
If you ever get the chance ask him about it. It's quite the funny story.
College was never part of Lloyds life plan as he figured one day he would be the Skipper of his father's Tugboat business.
Once he completed College he moved to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia with a job opportunity to design houses, but when he arrived the job was already taken so with 9.00 in his pocket, he went looking for a job to help support himself. After a while a job came up at Scotian Homes in Enfield. He was hired on as a Construction Estimator and was asked to assist the Senior Draftsperson from time to time but he wanted more.
Coming from a background where his parents and relatives owned their own businesses, he has a thirst to own his own business as well, so he opened up Capital Home Design in 2001.
Through designing houses he got into roofing and framing and got some experience with insulation, electrical and plumbing installation. From there he went into project management.
Then one day he saw a Tow Truck that didn't seem to move much so he approached the owner and struck a deal to buy the business figuring it would fill the void during the slow times of the year when Houses aren't being built. He was wrong in that assumption. Both the Home Design and the Tow Truck businesses kept him quite busy.
So much so in 2010 he made the decision to close the Tow Truck business and focus on, you guessed it Long haul Trucking because he hadn't been anywhere other than Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Moncton, New Brunswick a time or two.
He missed designing houses and he was missing out on his home life so once again, career change. He worked in the woods, worked in a gold mine, and he was driving dump trucks and operated heavy equipment when he was laid off from work due to the Covid Pandemic.
Once again he found himself learning a new skill all while falling back on his lengthy experience in the Home Construction Industry.
In 2018 Owl Home Inspections was born. After doing Home Inspections for three years, he added Septic Inspections to his business as an ancillary service. So not only do we go down those road less traveled, we will also send a camera down a septic and sewer pipe to inspect your Septic System.
And that is where we are presently at in our story. He still loves to meet with clients and go over their ideas for the home they want designed and he's loving the home and septic inspections.
So call him at 902 891 0444 or send him a text to make an appointment.
He can also be reached at owl.home.inspections@outlook.com and owl.home.design@outlook.com
He will look after you as he is determined to provide an educated evaluation of the Home you are about to Buy or Sell, providing you with an easy to read report.

We are very happy with our decision to use OWL home inspections. Lloyd is a very friendly and knowledgeable inspector.

-Jacob Stonehouse
Our entire experience with Lloyd at Owl Home Inspections was exceptional. If there were bonus stars we would add them in! Lloyd was timely, professional and he walked us through every detail during the inspection. We appreciated that he used layman's terms during the inspection so we knew exactly what he meant. When doing the walk-through he was very friendly with a great sense of humor. It was easy to communicate with Lloyd and his reporting gave us the clarity we were looking for. It was extremely detailed and outlined all the steps we would need to take; we will be using his report as a guiding document moving forward. All around, Lloyd was great to work with, experienced, very knowledgeable, and inclusive. We highly recommend!
