Home Inspection

Buying a property for a first-time home buyer can be a stressful time. I was originally on the fence with regards to getting a condo inspection, as the unit (and building) was in excellent shape. It’s better to be safe than sorry…. Right?

Based on the positive reviews on HomeStars.com, I hired Brent for this task. Brent was a pleasure to deal with – he replied to emails very quickly and was always willing to answer any questions.

Brent arrived punctually for the inspection, and took his time while examining all appliances and all areas of the unit. Brent even took the time to check the wiring behind the electrical panel! Brent did not hesitate to ask me if I had any questions or concerns; he wanted to ensure I was comfortable with my purchase.

I will definitely be coming back to Brent for the next home inspection I require. Please do not hesitate to book Brent for any future inspections!

Thank you so much Dhiren for taking the time to leave me a review! I really appreciate it! Condo's inspections are a funny thing, they will have minimal issues, or big time ones. Fortunately, yours was near perfect. Surprisingly, I do many condo inspections. As I was telling you at the inspection, I've done many high end luxury condo's that have some real big issues. People are usually happy that they brought me in do the inspection on their condo. Thank you so much again Dhiren, enjoy your new home, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection services in Hamilton

Brent was a pro from the moment he arrived at the premises well before before me to the moment we wrapped up with a summary of findings and next steps. He's very practical and down to earth, pointing out things that could be fixed with a simple visit to the hardware store (vs a costly professional), while also identifying risks that could become issues down the road (down to identifying key parts within the furnace) Brent spent over two hours with me, combing the property inside & out, pointing out things that even my seasoned real estate agent might have missed. He took the time to even remove receptacle plates to inspect wiring behind the walls. As an aside, my agent also expressed his positive impressions to me when comparing Brent's work against prior experiences. I would use Brent's company again in a heartbeat, and will continue to recommend him to my friends and business colleagues.

Thank you so much Steven for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review! I really appreciate it. I am glad that you are happy with the inspection. I try to be as detailed as possible. I figure people are spending so much on the home that they should know as much as possible about it. How many times have I heard,"our home was full of knob and tube wire and the inspector didn't pick up on it" ... I just shake my head and sympathize with them thinking to myself, "why didn't he remove a couple of outlets?" Thanks so much again Steven, please contact me if you ever have any questions whatsoever, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home inspection

Brent was fabulous. His honesty and professionalism were refreshing. He did a thorough, hands-on inspection then explained everything clearly in layman's terms. The information he provided helped me to decide whether or not I was going to buy the home I'd hired him to look at. He was also friendly and down to earth. I would happily recommend him to anyone. Thanks for your help Brent! best, P. Costello, Toronto

Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review Paula! I really appreciate you doing this! That was certainly a gem of a home, I just hope the negotiations went in your favour. I know there where a couple of issues that you didn't expect, so hopefully you were able to work that to your advantage. If you do ever have any questions about the home always please feel free to contact me. Thanks so much Paula and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection

Brent came on time. He took time go over my new property for any weaknesses and existing problems. I found him very knowledgable and helpful. Brent made a list of problems for my Tarrion warranty listings which has removed huge load of work for us. I am very happy to have Brent to have my home inspected. To me, he is someone you can rely for inspection.

Thank you so much Ashiqul! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave me a review! New homes are a bit different than when expecting old homes. At times, you will see things on a new home that I thought I would never see. Leaks? Mold? I wouldn't expect to see it but I do! I've even seen big time structural issues on new homes. The townhome in Oakville that I did a couple of years ago that was "pulling apart" was probably the best example...and the agent told the buyers "don't waste your money on an inspection"! Thank you so much Ashiqul, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!

Home Inspection

Prior to getting our basement renovated, we hired Classic Home Inspections to educate us on our home and bring to our attention any issues that we would need to address during the renovations. Brent was AWESOME! We hired him based on these reviews and he absolutely did not disappoint. The thing that impressed me the most is the consistency in his inspections. His thoroughness, attention to detail, professionalism and honesty that was commented on by so many people is absolutely true. Brent definitely goes above and beyond his job of "inspecting", he took the time to help us get our gas fireplace up and running since it hadn't been touched in at least 5 years.
So if you are planning on doing some renovations to your house, have Brent inspect your home so that you don't get taken advantage of. He will tell you the truth because he has nothing to gain or lose from it. Thanks Brent!!!

Wowee ! Thank you so much for that review Jean ! I really appreciate it! I am glad that you were happy with the inspection. It means a lot to me when someone tells me this. Not a bad idea, many people hire a home inspector before they do renovations to get an idea of what to expect when the contractor comes in (and starts spending your money). Many people don't realize how quickly costs can go up, even by adding or changing simple things. But what I think most people want it just the information of what is involved and a general idea of costs. Thank you so much Jean, all the best, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

home inspection on an offered property

This service was performed on Aug 30 2012, but got busy and forgot to write one afterwards until coming on HomeStars recently for other reasons. We needed to get the home inspected urgently before we waive the condition on the purchase agreement. We emailed a few inspectors on Aug 29 to see who can come out on the 30th. Brent replied me the quickest and was able to come out on the evening of the 30th. He was thorough with the inspection, explained everything to me in detail, and also taught me a lot about how to identify some problems myself. Brent emailed me a link to access all the photos he has taken once he got home and provided me a binder of all the information/findings from the inspection. Definitely recommend Brent to all my friends. EXCELLENT SERVICE AND HONEST GUY!

Walter thank you so much for taking the time to leave me a review and for such kind words! I really appreciate it!!! I'm glad that you were happy with the inspection. I also try to be quick when responding to people. Many people who buy homes are in the same situation as you were ... they need someone now! Fortunately, I was good to go. It was great meeting with you too! Thank you so much again Walter, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections! (and I'm sorry for the delay on the response!)

New Home Inspection

Brent arrived right on time (down to the minute) and was very professional and friendly. He made me feel at ease from the second he got to the house. He conducted his inspection thoroughly making sure he didn't miss anything and giving advice as he did so. Exceptional job throughout, and he knows a bit about hockey too! Thanks again, Brent!

pre-purchase home inspection

I had reviewed classic home inspections earlier and had rated it very highly, but it later turned out that very important things had been missed that were in plain sight.
Good: Brent was a great guy and had spotted a few things that were helpful to us. He was realistic with his estimates on renovation costs etc and spent a fair bit of time looking at the property.
Bad: Brent failed to spot the fact that the addition built on our house did not have footings and that the entire deck was not secured properly. These were both in plain sight and should have been caught easily by a home inspector. We only found out once we had contactors come in for unrelated renos. Right now the city considers the structures unsafe and we have to replace both items at a very high cost.
I would not recommend this company based on my experience.
