Home Inspection

Those of you who may be undecided as to which inspector you should go for, I can tell you that your search is over! I’m a repeat customer and I think that alone says a lot. As clearly demonstrated in the reviews by others here, Brent is very competent and knowledgeable but it doesn’t stop there. Not only is he reliable (he always shows up earlier than the scheduled time) and accommodating (he was able to schedule us in for our preferred time with only 2 days’ notice which I appreciated given his hectic schedule), he is very committed to what he does. We had hail on the day of our inspection but that didn’t stop Brent – he went up the roof and inspected every corner which pleasantly surprised us, and boy am I glad that he did! We found invaluable information about the roof through Brent which helped us tremendously with our decision making.

What I appreciated the most is his willingness to answer our questions after the inspection whether it’s in the morning or evening – that’s how loyal he is to his clients. We were able to receive his inspection report binder and the photos on the same day (which is very helpful when you have a tight closing date) and he never rushed any of us (whether during the inspection or after) which was very important given that there was more than one person he was dealing with! :)

I can’t recommend Brent enough. Thanks HomeStars for introducing me to him and thanks Brent for your commitment and your thoroughness (and of course your easy going manner)!

Bea!!! Thank you so much for that review! I should be hiring you for my marketing manager!!! Well gee, I'm glad that you were happy with the inspection. You know it's funny, I hear so many stories of people telling me things that their other home inspector missed, and I think to myself, how could he have missed something that big?! A realtor told me yesterday that she went with the pre-listing inspection report provided by a large home inspection company and no-where on the report did it have any mention of a bunch of asbestos (that was very obvious) in the home. She called the company, spoke to the Vice President, and he basically said "to bad so sad for her client". (who bought the home based on the pre-listing report). They had no interest whatsoever of maybe trying to make things a little better. None whatsoever. Not bad customer service eh? I would be out of business if I had that attitude. Anyway, thank you so much again Bea, always feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions whatsoever! Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection

I am very pleased that I called Brent at Classic Home Inspections. Brent was detailed, meticulous, informative, careful and very personable. It is difficult to know the nature and the true qualifications of the people you hire to work in your home. Fortunately, in addition to the qualities I listed, Brent is both honest and a true professional. I strongly urge you, before you purchase a home, renovate anything or hire any other type of inspector, hire Brent to inspect your home first.

Thanks so much Bruce for the kind words and review! Bruce, when I read your comment, "it’s difficult to know the nature and the true qualifications" of an inspector I couldn't agree more. When I look at some of my competitors, I think to myself, is this guy kidding me? The one "qualification" that seems to be popular right now with home inspectors is "Master Inspector" ... that's sounds great, but there is no such title. It's a made up term. This qualification is about as valid as a three-dollar-bill. Of course when you're dealing with an unregulated industry I guess we can call ourselves what we want. If it makes them feel better so be it. I'll I care is that you're happy with the inspection. Bruce, again thank you so much, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Brent from Classic Home Inspections was amazing from the first phone call to when he completed our job. He came through on everything he committed to. He spent the time with us and did a thorough inspection. He was not rushed and took the time to do an awesome job. THANKS BRENT! Would definitely go with him again.

Thank you soooo much for the kind words and taking the time to leave a review Lisa! Wow! That was a beautiful Brampton home. I hope the transaction went through okay. I know there were definitely some concerns with the issues that I came across, but I know that's a dream home and they don't come by very often! Hopefully all went well though. If you ever have any questions please, please, please always feel free to contact me. Thanks again so much, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home inspection

Brent did a great job at inspecting the house we were planning to buy. He made us aware of all the concerns we should have about the home and reassured us on previous issues that have been fixed properly. He's not in a hurry and will inspect thoroughly. I strongly recommend him. Thanks again Brent!

Home Inspection

Brent was prompt and very easy to reach. He took his time with the inspection and answered all of our questions. Even after the inspection he responded back to me very quickly when I was looking for some recommended repair companies. He is experienced and I believe he identified all of the major issues with the house.
The Home Inspection report he provides is hand written and in hard copy format. I would have preferred a soft copy of the report - but other than that minor detail we were happy with his services.

Thank you for the review Jen! I really appreciate it! It usually throws a curveball into the deal when I come across a bunch of mold within a home, but that's great that the homeowner is going to take care of that entire mold cleanup. That can certainly be a very high bill for someone to pay for. It will certainly give you piece of mind when you take over the home. Esp. with the new addition to the family! Thanks again Jen, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Mid-century Home Inspection

My wife and I bought a house in December of 2011, and had to arrange for a home inspection. We found Brent Jeffreys of Classic Home Inspections here on HomeStars. Due to our work constraints, neither my wife nor I could be present during the home inspection (really unfortunate), but one of my relatives was able to go. My relative (retired from CMHC with an extensive background in housing/home issues) said Brent was, without exaggeration, the best home inspector she's ever seen. Brent was prompt, professional, knowledgeable and very thorough. He checked out all of the appliances, got up and spent an extensive amount of time in the attic, walked all over the roof (and it was raining), and was able to put together a comprehensive report on the good and the bad. Actually, on one occasion Brent's report saved us from being ripped off by an unscrupulous contractor! Although there were some minor issues with the house, we were able to buy it with confidence because of the information in the report. If you ever need a home inspector who knows what he's doing, is very thorough and reliable, look no further than Brent.

Whoa! Thank you so much for the kind words and review Dave! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave it. You mean to tell me that a contactor tried to rip you off? Ha! Fancy that. Well, I am glad that you were able to use the report to fend off the contractor. To be honest, I am used to dealing with the opposite. People want to believe their contactor and then they call me hastily because they don't want to believe the contractor is about to rip them off. People forget that I have nothing to sell. A contractor does. I cringe when I hear that it is a “friend” doing the work. No, of course your “friend” isn’t trying to rip you off and make me look bad. Dave, thanks again so much and 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!

Home Inspection Services

Brent is the only employee of this company and this translates into exceptional service all the time. I have dealt with Carson Dunlop Home Inspections and other popular companies with flashy marketing materials, however their employees treated inspections as a job while Brent took my home inspection very seriously and quite personally.

Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to leave a review Patrick! I truly appreciate it! It's funny, I have no interest in "bashing" my competition, but when people tell me stories of other home inspection company’s customer service I almost laugh out loud with what people tell me. There is no customer service! It seems many companies attitude is "too bad, so sad" approach. Amazing how they even stay in business! Anyways, I’m glad that you were happy with me! Thank you so much again Patrick! Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection

Bent from Classic Home Inspections did our home inspection for our newly purchased home. He was on time and super easy to work with. We walked the entire site with him asking questions along the way. He was super friendly and knowledgeable and did a great job. He emailed us the home inspection pictures before we even got home from the house he was inspecting. Good dude, Good price.

Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to leave a review Mike! Mike, I've got to be honest, I always have a soft spot for homes that are in my area. When I first starting inspecting I didn't even know of this place. Then, through inspections, I fell in love with this neighborhood and had to get a place here myself! What an absolute gem of a home you just bought. What a property! What, wasn't it like two miles long or something? Seemed like it anyway. A toboggan hill in your own backyard! That was totally crazy! What a place to raise your family. I truly wish you both the best with that home and always please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions about the home! See you at the parades ... Thanks for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection

Absolutely a wonderful experience. Brent was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. investigated every aspect of the home from top to bottom, and gave an accurate report with detailed information.

He was honest about what would need to be replaced and when it may need to be replaced. He knew exactly what he was doing and physically showed us any issues, not just reported them.

The best home inspector I have ever dealt with, highly recommended.

What made it even better is that there was next to nothing wrong with it. How often do I come across a home like that? Like never! I am more than positive you and your family will enjoy your new home. All the best, and always please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions whatsoever.
