Home Inspection

I contacted Brent on Thursday morning for a home inspection the next day. He was very accommodating and more than willing to come for an inspection. Brent was thorough and polite and provided a very detailed report along with photos of each major area looked at. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He was a pleasure to deal with and extremely professional. Not to mention very reasonably priced!

Home inspection

Brent showed before we did already inspecting.Very thorough. I've used other home inspectors before but Brent was truly much better than they were. He actually went up on the roof to check it out properly. Brent not only went up on the roof of the house but he invited me along, and I gladly up to check out the roof with him. Brent also actually checked for moisture in an area of the basement he thought might be of concern for water leaks. As other reviewers have said, Brent takes the time to explain everything in plain English. He let me and my wife follow him around for almost three hours while he did the inspection. All the while he explained to me what he was doing and why he was doing it. The fact that he asked to have three hours available to do the inspection also told me that he wanted the time to do a good job for us. I will use him again and I will be glad to tell my friends and family to use him as well. I worked in the housing/construction field for years. He knows his stuff and does not BS!

Ha ! Thank you so much Michael for taking the time to leave me such a kind review! It's great when someone as knowledgeable such as yourself is on the inspection with me. I try and be as truthful as possible and I know that's what you wanted straight up. In the end I think you made a wise decision with taking a walk from that home. To say the least that was a handymans special. Thank you so much again Michael and good luck with your search. Thanks you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home inspection

Brent showed up on time and is very thorough. I've used other home inspectors before but Brent was truly much better than they were. He actually went up on the roof to check it out properly. With previous inspectors I've had some show up with ladders on a beautiful summer day and inform me that they would only go up on the first floor level roof to check it out. They would not go up on the second story part of the roof to inspect it as they were not insured to do so!
Brent not only went up on the roof of the house but he invited me along, and I gladly took him up on the offer to check out the roof with him.
Brent also actually move big TV set to check to check for moisture in an area of the basement he thought might be of concern for water leaks. I've had other inspectors who refuse to move anything which meant that they could not thoroughly check an area of concern out so how could they make a proper inspection report.
As other reviewers have said, Brent takes the time to explain everything in plain English. He let me follow him around for almost three hours while he did the inspection. All the while he explained to me what he was dong and why he was dong it. The fact that he asked to have three hours available to do the inspection also told me that he wanted the time to do a good job for us. He also made himself available to do the inspection on a Sunday afternoon between 4 PM and 7 PM as this was the only time made available to us as the offer had to be in by the following day.
I will use him again and I will be glad to tell my friends and family to use him as well.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me a review Brent, let alone such a nice one! You know Brent, it's always much better when the buyer is completely involved with the inspection. It makes it easier, more informative, and much more fun! I'm glad that you were happy with the inspection. It means a lot to me when someone such as yourself tells me this. If you ever have any questions about the property always please feel free to contact me. All the best and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home inspection

We were extremely pleased with the inspection Brent provided. He was incredibly thorough and made sure to explain every finding to my husband. I got the impression that he truly cares about his clients and by ensuring they have all the information they need to proceed with their transaction. He was mindful that we were dealing with an agent who was also representing the seller. He kept quiet when issues were discovered (only sharing with my husband) so that we could negotiate fairly afterwards. He has all of the available technology and is simply very, very good at his job. Hire him, you won't regret it.

Thank you GG for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review! It is much appreciated! Well, wasn't that an interesting one. A home that's supposed to be fully reno'd turns out had some big issues. I esp. found it interesting when the homeowner stated the whole roof had been replaced and as it turns out only 30% of it was. Just a little misleading. Anyways, all the best for now and happy house hunting. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me a review and for the kind words Yousef! You've just bought yourself a very nice home there. I'm glad that not only were you able to make the home inspection, that you stuck with me the whole time to understand exactly what was going on. Hopefully you were able to use the inspection report to your advantage with the issues that we found. All the best and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection

Brent was amazing! He was available on two separate occasions for home inspections. He was very thorough and knowledgable. He answered all the questions we had and we came out knowing exactly where the house stood. He provides a book so you can take note on what exactly needs to get done. He even helped us find someone to help complete the work that needed to be done. He is kind and honest and a pleasure to work with!

Home Inspection

Brent was very knowledgable and friendly. He took the time to answer all my questions and did not rush through the inspection. After the inspection I got a binder with my report in it and he emails me the pictures afterwards. I had called him afterwards to follow-up on something and he did it right away. He found things that I would have never found. Thanks for saving my family from potential mold problems and saving me some money. Would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.

Thank you so much Quin for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review! I really appreciate it! I’m glad that you were happy with the inspection (although I know you were not happy with all of the findings) It’s also great that you kept a level head as opposed to panicking like some people do when I find certain things. That’s fantastic you were able to go back to the current homeowner and get some of the issues dealt with. If you ever have any questions whatsoever about the home always please feel free to contact me. All the best, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review Carmen! I really appreciate it. Not too many homes like that one, which really had no real issues. You're biggest concern is how that "cantina"will be getting in there. Lol! All the best and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!
