Home inspection

Brent was a superstar! After all the horror stories I've seen and heard about with respect to home inspectors that didn't catch things or didn't know what they were doing I was worried that we'd only find out about things after we purchased our home. Brent immediately put our minds at ease however. Brent took his time to inspect the outside and inside of the house. He explained what he saw as he conducted the inspection and even pointed out that a soccer ball under the deck might be a cause for concern as it might indicate a problem! Checking things like the central vacuum, washer and dryer, etc indicated to me that he really cared about his work. I would recommend Brent without any hesitation and will use him again if we ever move.

Thank you so much for the kind words and review Keith! I really appreciate it. I am glad that you were happy with the inspection. Believe the horror stories my friend, most I'm sure are true. Home inspectors are an interesting bunch. It seems like there's no consistency among us. Some do roofs, others don't. Some look at electrical panels, some don't. Some provide a proper report, others don't. Some hide behind excuses when things are missed. Good ones don't, because they don't miss it! Ha! I can't remember the last time that I did an inspection where a soccer ball was actually going to help cause a leak into the basement. I know tennis balls up in the eaves can cause a lot of grief for people. I would like to say that I've seen it all, but nope, that was a first for me. Thanks so much again Keith, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!

home inspection

Classic Home Inspections offered a great service. Brent was able to schedule my inspection quickly to meet conditions of an offer. Brent was very personable and knowledgeable, answering any questions when asked and offering information on the go. He was very thorough and detailed. He made sure I was okay with an area in the home before moving on and going back if there were questions that arised later. I felt very confident in Brent's inspection of my home to be. I will recommend him to any of my family and friends.

Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review! I really appreciate it! A beauty Scarborough home! I thought it was a real gem. It was one of those homes that bring a smile to your face when you pull up on the driveway. It was so cozy and nice, especially with all those gardens, how couldn't you like it? Fortunately, it was also well looked after. I am positive that you will be happy with your purchase. As I tell everyone, always please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions about the home. Thanks again, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Pre-purchase home inspection

I chose this comany based on the reviews from Homestars and I was very gald that I did. Brent arrived on time and was very pleasant and freindly to deal with. He went through every nook and cranny inside and outside of the house and explained everything in a clear and concise manner. Once the inspection was completed, he gave me a full written report on the spot to take home to go over. Brent also mentioned that if I had any questions or concerns whatsoever, to fee free to give him a call anytime whether it be 5 mins later, 2 hours later or a few days later. I did have something to ask him later on that night and I took him up on his offer and called him and he picked up the phone and spoke with me even though it was almost 10pm. Needless to say, I would highly recommend Brent and Classic Home Inspections to all my friends and family! And I would definitely be calling on Brent again in the future if the need arises. Thanks again Brent!

Home Inspection

Brent came to inspect a condo townhouse we had placed an offer on and he was absolutely awesome!! He was very thorough inside and out of the home! He took his time and explained everything to us and answered every question we had. He addressed every small concern we had about the home, including aluminum wiring lol! He made it very clear that he was interested in looking after our needs and concerns and not the agents. Brent is not only professional and knowledgeable, he is also hilarious and down to earth and talks to you on a level playing field. He is absolutely the best inspector we have used!! He had used other companies and no one else even remotely took as good care as Brent did! I will definitely recommend him to anyone buying a home! Thanks Brent and take care of that Miata lol!

Thank you Mike for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review!!! I really appreciate it! If I had told you the house was falling down I don't think it would have surpassed your concerns with Aluminum Wire in the home. Here's one for ya, brand new homes have aluminum wire, it comes in from the street to the panel. In many cases it's not the proper gauge wire and I can only imagine what’s going to happen down the road with them. Wanna know why, the price of copper is too expensive so the homebuilders save money by using Aluminum. There you go, something to think about. Now, this home you looked at had NONE! Now you can rest easy. Especially watching your beloved Leafs. Good luck with them my friend. Thanks again Mike, thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections. PS Next time I will show up in a Miata!

Home Inspection

Brent from Classic Home Inspections was fantastic! He was very thorough, explained everything to us (we are first time home buyers) and provided us with a nifty binder with oodles of information about our new property!

We appreciated that he asked us if there was anything we were concerned about. He addressed all our concerns and taught us a thing or two about our new home.

He was very professional and yet had a great sense of humour (and a love of Star Wars which I don't understand).

We had a great time during our 2+ hour home inspection. We will recommend Brent to all our family and friends without reservation.

Thank you Jessie in Burlington for the kind words and review! Like most first time homebuyers, you were a total wreak. ;-) Okay, you weren't at all; you guys were actually very good for first timers! I guess a bit stressed out with the previous homes you looked at and the disappointment with the inspections/inspectors. Throw your crazy realtor in the mix and it certainly makes for some fun. Just for the record, I don't have a "love affair" with Star Wars, it's just you wanted to talk about "The Notebook, Time Travelers Wife, Sex and the City", and other movies that I have zero interest in. With me and your hubby taking about Star Wars, it quickly changes the subject and squashes out the movies that you wanted to talk about...and I don't care who says what, that lightsabre scene with Liam Neeson and Ewan Macgregor against Darth Maul is far better than Ryan Gossling running around without his shirt on. ;-) Thank you Jessie ! Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home inspection maintenance

Based on the reviews on the site, I called Brent since I needed to get some independent advice regarding some issues that I was having with my home. We talked on the phone for about 15 minutes and then set up a time for him to visit my house on the weekend. He arrived on time and spent about 30 minutes as I showed him around and asked him questions. He was able to confirm that I should not invest in anything new until the old equipment stopped working and put my mind at ease that it would be a bit of time before that happened. It was great to talk with someone who obviously knew his stuff and who was not there to sell me something. I would highly recommend Brent to anyone requiring a home inspection.

Thanks so much "you scruffy-looking Nerfhearder"! (hey, anyone who knows Star Wars stuff will know exactly what it is!) That actually brought a smile to my face when I read that! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave me a review and for the kind words. Not a bad idea at all, with all the contractors waiting in the weeds ready to take your money away telling you that "it's broken", "it’s gotta get replaced" you guessed right, the things were fine, they’re just getting a little cranky as they get older. Aren't we all? Thanks so much Nerfheader ! Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection

We were looking for a good home inspector and found some amazing reviews about Brent. We decided to go with him and were beyond satisfied!

Like the reviews below, he took a look at everything! He even climbed up our super high house to get to the roof. Throughout the visit, he provided sound, detailed advice and pointed issues out to us.

He also accommodated to our multi-tasking of getting to know neighbours, taking pictures, getting renovation quotes, showing the house to the 'rents, etc. He ran us through all his work at the end and provided notes for future reference.

We highly recommend to go to Brent for home inspections!

Thank you!

I am positive that you will be happy in your new East York home. If you ever have any questions about the home, always please feel free to contact me. That leak in the basement should be an easy fix (they did a nice job of trying to hide it though). Thanks again guys, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection

Was a bit skeptical at first with all the +ve ratings and the "Best Of..." awards this company has consistently won. At the risk of sounding like a fake advertisement:
All the positive past reviews regarding how Brent conducts his inspections are accurate. I appreciate the peace of mind regarding our home purchase as a result of his inspection and writing this review is sort of a favour in return...so I get it now why there's so much +ve feedback.

You will probably call up Brent's main competition and find that Brent is less expensive by a bit (as of May 4).

Thanks again Brent - was a pleasure meeting you.

Thank you so much Ben for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review! I really appreciate it! A little "suspect" were we? I don't blame you, I would probably be the same. The funny thing is that it is next to impossible to get people to leave a review. This is why I am so grateful with people such as yourself for taking the time to leave me one. I can honest say that each and every one of my reviews are from REAL CUSTOMERS, where I am more than suspect that one of my competitors on here cannot say the same. As I always tell people, please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions regarding the home. Thanks again, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection

My husband and I bought a home in Milton and had Brent do our home inspection. Never being apart of a home inspection before, I was very impressed and surprised at the level of detail that Brent put into his work. He explained to us every detail of what he was doing, what he was looking for, how things worked and what good vs. bad looked like. He got into the attic and even up on the roof. Our real estate agent was even impressed saying that he had never seen such a good job. Thanks for making us feel even better about the purchase of our new home!

Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review Michelle!!! I really appreciate it! I am more than confident that you will be happy with your new home. A great home for you and your family. Fortunately, you picked a winner with that one. Milton, the little town that became a city overnight, with that, came a rush of homebuilders throwing up a bunch of homes so fast it came at a cost on the quality of them. But nope, that was a great home! Thanks again Michelle, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!
