Home Inspection

Brent did an excellent and thorough home inspection on a home that we were finalizing the sale of. He took the time to review all information with us and was very informative. He even went on the roof and in the attic and was able to identify issues that assisted us in finalizing the purchase of the home. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a home inspection done. The price was also very reasonable, we got more than what we paid for. He is also always very prompt in getting back to you if you need anything.

Pre-purchase home inspection

Brent from Classic Home Inspections did a fantastic job. He inspected 30 years old house that we were going to buy. He went methodically from the basement to the roof (yes, climbed up the roof and found problems there that would never be found with binoculars). Warning: the list of issues might by longer that you expected.

Home Inspection

Brent from Classic Home Inspections has been a great help to us while deciding whether to buy an almost 100 year old home. He was able to find and point out the things that make the house a sturdy home with good "bones" (cinder block foundation with no cracks, two layers of brick etc...), and point out things that need prompt attention (roof, electrics, waterproofing basement, etc...).
While doing his very thorough inspection (which included over 75 photos for us to keep) he was more than happy to have my husband and I by his side so that he could explain what he was looking for and give opinions on why some things may be the way the are.
Once he was done he spent a lot of time with us just talking about the house. Its apparent that he not only loves what he does, but is very knowledgeable in his field.
Hopefully we wont need to buy another house for write some time, but if that time comes we will definitely give him a call!

Thank you so much guys for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review! To me, the home you bought is an absolute gem. The potential is just amazing. I know that getting to the final stage is going to take a lot of patience, but trust me, in the end it will be well worth it. That home will be an absolute dream. Thanks again and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection

This is the 2nd time we have used Classic Home Inspections. I contacted Brent again, really almost jokingly, to see if he would drive 4hr out of the GTA to do an inspection, and he didn’t hesitate (and it was a Saturday)! The house was a challenging one and we wanted an inspection before considering making an offer (lakefront and a high local water table; no central heating), and Brent was exceptionally thorough overall, and in particular to check for evidence of leakage in the basement. He spent about 4hr for the inspection of this relatively small house. He got on the roof and in the attic and went in all outbuildings (including a frozen-shut dilapidated boathouse that took some time), took lots of pictures that correspond to his written report (and they were available to us early the next morning online), and was more than happy to walk me through what he was doing in real time. He is very experienced and sharp and he is also a very pleasant, professional, and friendly person to work with. The plethora of top-notch Homestars reviews are in line with our personal experience.. Brent and Classic Home Inspections are absolutely excellent!

Thank you soooooo much Nate!!! It was an honor and a pleasure working with you guys! Yep, Not too many Toronto home inspectors are going to say they've inspected homes in Sudbury. At least, none that I know. This first house we looked at was a gem. (well, a little spit and polish would help)...but oh well, off to the next one!...;-)

Home Inspection

I would highly recommend Brent from Classic Home Inspections Inc. without hesitation for any home or property inspection. Brent was able to accommodate our very tight deadlines and was not only extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and professional, but very personable and patient. He methodically inspected every inch of the property, including the attic, entire roof, and garage, and took detailed and meticulous photographs and notes, which will help me immensely in the necessary renovations of the property before we move in. Thank you soooo much Brent! We now know what needs to be done and has provided much peace of mind!

Pre-purchase inspection

We have hired Brent for a pre-purchasing house inspection. He came within 2 days of contacting him. We are very pleased with his service. Brent was very patient and thorough with the inspection and he answered all of our questions. I would definitely hire him again or recommend him to my friends.

Thanks Brent

New Home Inspection

My initial thought of this company was great - Brent was very friendly and appeared to do a great job/know what he was doing. We hired Brent based on the reviews on Homestars. Our pre-purchase home inspection indicated that the roof on the house should last us 10-12 years. Clearly this was not the case, as our ceiling collapsed 3 months after we moved into our new home and the 3 roofers who came to inspect indicated that the roof was in pretty bad condition (all pointed out clear areas where the installation was done poorly/improperly) and it should have been noted on a home inspection. Needless to say, we weren't expecting to need to put a new roof on our house, and it likely would have impacted our offer price had we known the roof needed to be replaced.

Hmm, Charlene...this is an interesting one. First let me say that I am truly sorry to hear about your bad experience after moving into the home. You certainly don’t deserve that. Now, just hear me out. You've taken the time to post a very thorough review based on my company "missing" a major roof issue on the Homestars website. However, you never took the time to let me know that this has happened until now. I tell each and every person that hires me to "please contact me if you ever have any questions whatsoever" Now I would think that if your ceiling has collapsed after you move in it should at least be brought to my attention. When I was on the roof, I took a bunch of pictures (which I sent you) showing the condition of the shingles. After review of my pictures I can see those are new top grade high end shingles that someone spent a lot of money on. The flashing on the curbs of the roof look to be in excellent condition as well. This being the case, it would still be under a warranty. Unfortunately, the roofing companies failed to mention this to you. You could have simply gone back to the roofing company who installed the shingles and taken it up with them. Most importantly of all, there was a picture of a raccoon on the roof which is nesting. Based on what you have told me with the ceiling collapsing, I actually think the raccoon must have damaged the roof, allowing a bunch of water to enter the home at once, therefore damaging the ceiling to such an extreme degree. Not too many roofers are going to want to “fix” a roof, not enough money in it for them, they want to replace it. I do appreciate the review Charlene, however I can only encourage one to get a hold of me if they have such an issue at that time. Thank you…

Home Inspection for first house purchase

Brent from Classic Home Inspections was very patient, thorough, knowledgable, and prompt. We are buying a resale home on a very aggressive schedule and despite the rush of scheduling he took his time to make sure NOT ONE LITTLE ITEM was missed, inside or out. Brent explained all facets of the inspection and prioritized recommended repairs and renovations according to the true condition of the house, and really made us feel confident that we are making the right choice in buying this property. We intend to go nowhere else but Classic Home Inspections for any home purchases in the future for our family.
