I strongly recommend hiring Brent for your home inspection. We first found Brent on Homestars.com and have used his services twice before (once for a 3yr old home in Markham in Sep/10 and once for a 8yr old home in Toronto in Oct/13).
Brent is not only very friendly and knowledgeable but also very professional (eg. arrived early at the site). He is also very thorough, so much so that you'd think he was buying the home for himself! In his report, he pointed out several minor repairs and preventative fixes. His level of thoroughness gives me a lot of comfort and confidence before buying a house. He took 100+ photos during the inspection, which he provided along with the inspection report that same night. In addition, Brent is extremely patient and took the time to answer all our questions (in person and via email) -- this is invaluable when you are a first-time home buyer or if you are not handy like me. Further, Brent will not hesitate to go the extra mile for his clients. For example, a few of the shingles was missing from the roof (likely blown off by strong wind). Brent came back another day to replace the shingles at no charge. I know this was a easy fix if you know how to do it, but it was very kind of him to offer.
In all, I cannot say enough good things about Brent. We were all very impressed by Brent's service and knowledge, including my real estate agent who has worked with many other home inspectors in the past.
