Home Inspection

We were searching for our new home and we needed a home inspection completed. Our realtor recommended Brent from Classic Home Inspections Inc. for the job. Brent was incredibly thorough and honest. I would totally recommend Brent and Classic Home Inspections Inc. to anyone I know in need of a home inspection.

Thank you so much for the kind words and leaving me a review Jennifer! I really hope you got that last one Jennifer! I kept my fingers and toes crossed for you! That was a nice home. It's too bad about the other home that you had purchased with the condition of home inspection prior to this one. The other home was the perfect example of "lipstick" on a home. I think that I had “killed the deal” before you even showed up! However the one we just looked at really had minimal wrong with it. Anyways, all the best with your search for a home if this wasn't the one. Thanks again Jennifer, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

House inspection

Brent was very professional, prompt, and efficient. He went over every square foot of the house we had a conditional offer on, and gave us comfort that any issues were identified. He provided a comprehensive report, with photographs, clearly identifying anything we would want to know. He sat and answered all of our questions, was not rushed, and invited us to contact him any time to discuss further. Overall we were very impressed and would use him again.

Thank you so much Rob and Jessica for taking the time and leaving me a review! I am glad that you were happy with the inspection. I remember you telling me that you had a previous bad experience with a home inspector, which is too bad really. However, many people tell me the same story time and time again. I found it somewhat comical when you told me the inspector didn't bring a ladder. In my head I was thinking, "What?" Oh well, I'm glad you were happy with me! Thanks again so much, enjoy the home, and please contact me if you ever have any questions about the home. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection

I found Brent through the Homestars website. Like others, I was impressed but nonetheless skeptical of the seemingly never ending 10 star reviews. Having used his services today, I can say that the 10 stars are fully warranted.

Brent was easy to contact, always courteous and quick to respond via phone and email. He was on time for the inspection and ready to work.

On the day of the inspection, Brent took his time to make his way around every square inch of the house. He encouraged me to tag along and gave extremely useful tips on basic maintenance items to be performed on the house. For example, there is a pool in the backyard of our prospective home and his advice regarding its maintenance will likely pay for his inspection fee several times over...and that's just one tidbit of advice he provided during the course of his thorough 3 hour inspection.

After the inspection was complete I received an inspection binder complete with report; by the end of the night, Brent had sent me over 90 pictures taken during the course of the inspection (including but not limited to pictures of the roof, attic, and electrical panel interior).

Brent is knowledgeable with a obvious desire to protect the best interests of his clients. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone looking for a home inspector.

Thank you so much for the kind words and review Hesh! A great home for a great person! It’s always nice to do an inspection for someone where the home has next to nothing wrong with it. Not very common, but it does happen every now and then. It was great that you came with such enthusiasm, you wanted to know every detail about the home! If you ever have any questions about the home always please feel free to contact me. Thanks again Hesh, enjoy your new home, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection - Toronto

Brent has helped us so much in the past year, it's hard to exaggerate. Friendly and engaging as well as professional, thorough and frank.

He helped us through a very difficult situation in 2011 and then last week helped us make the decision to buy a wonderful house after 2 years of searching!

Thanks Brent! Will definitely spread the word.

Home inspection

I am a first time homebuyer and used brent to do the home inspection. Definitely recommended! We only had 48 hours to arrange a home inspection as part of our purchase agreement. Brent picked up the phone at 6:30 am and squeezed us in for an inspection the next day. He arrived earlier than I did and stayed for 2 hrs even after I had to leave for work. He encouraged me to walk the property with him and was very helpful in explaining his findings to me. His report and pictures were very thorough. Great job.

old house inspection

I had Brent came to inspect my old house before purchse.Everything seemed to be ok and clear what needs repair, except attic mold I had to deal with 6 month after. I am not happy that he did not check this thoroughly..... The attic has insulation but no vapor barrior installed... additionto that, there is no ventilation. This seems to have caused a lot of moisture in attic in winter and infected by mold which will cost me $ 10 grants. I trusted the rating on this site but I believe his service is too casual and quick and overrated.

Well RH in Etobicoke, I appreciate all input towards my company and I am always looking for constructive criticism to make improvements on my company, striving to do better. The beauty of Homestars is it allows a person to voice an opinion on a company, good or bad. I take a person’s review very seriously. Although there is one drawback, people can abuse this type of thing. I am going to let the reader determine if this is a legit review or not. Just to hear me out. Number one; if I was to miss “10 Grand” worth of mold in an attic space, I would think most people would agree that you are going to get a hold of a home inspector real quick, questioning why he missed it. No? Ten Grand is a lot of money, I would think at least worthy of a phone call. You are using Homestars as a platform to inform others, yet you never contacted me regarding the matter. Number two; I send pictures to each and every person that I do an inspection for. So, therefore you have pictures of your attic that I would have sent you. Can you please show me where it is? You’ve never contacted me indicating where it is. As a matter of fact, you can post pictures of your attic showing the reader where I missed the “10 Grand” worth of mold. Number three; I have 323 reviews prior to you giving me a score of perfect 10. If I ran around doing home inspections missing “10 Grand” worth of mold in people’s homes I wouldn’t be in business too long, let alone have people giving me scores of perfect 10. I do hope the reader takes a look at your review and then takes a look at this “rebuttal”, then makes their own conclusion as to if I really missed “10 Grand” worth of mold in your attic.

I don’t know if you’re a competitor just trying to hack away at my score, I don’t know if you’re someone just doing this for kicks. It’s too bad that you that didn’t contact me, for all I know you could be another victim of a dishonest contractor. You will see with many of my reviews people have stated that I “saved them thousands” from contactors. But I do know this; I highly doubt that I missed “10 Grand” worth of mold in your attic space. I take my job very seriously; and you can read that in all the other 323 reviews that I have prior to yours…Thanks EH for the review.

Home Inspection

OK. Wow ! Brent has been awesome. First, he is very quick in responding to his message (web or sms), not to worry, you will hear back from him. Also, he knows what he is talking about. He made sure he answered every questions we had, told us no question were stupid and made sure we were satisfied with answers and the house. We came out happy with the inspection and the house itself. Within the two hours following the inspection, I had 71 pictures of the house in my inbox ready for my review including a binder full of information about the house we had made an offer on. Brent did an awesome job and we are really happy with the professional service he offered us. He even involved us in the inspection, asking us to go on the roof and to see if for ourselves. THANK YOU BRENT !

home inspection

Brent was fantastic. He was able to make it to our home on short notice and even helped us move some of our furniture. We were really short on time and had a lot of things going on and it was great having Brent understand our situation and being so helpful. Thanks Brent, we really appreciate it!

Brent does home inspections best!

We walked away from a deal last year, because of an unfavourable inspection (done by Brent). The best $350 we ever spent. Since then, we have found another house and hired Brent again to perform the inspection. He made some recommendations and that gave us the ability to negotiate a better deal. Thank-you, Brent, for your thoroughness and making time to answer e-mails with follow-up questions!

Home Inspection

My wife and I had a conditional offer on a home and we needed a home inspection to finalize the sale. We wanted to ensure that we got a thorough pre-purchase inspection because we did not want to discover issues with the home after purchase. We were coming from condo-living, and never had to look for contractors, trades people, etc. After researching on HomeStars.com, I came across Brent Jefferies from Classic Home Inspections. He had phenomenal reviews, and won the Home Inspection Category Award three years in a row. And now I know why! Every word about him and his work ethic is absolutely true! After speaking with him over the phone, we hired him to conduct the home inspection. Brent was accommodating, and I was able to book an appointment with him on very short notice and during a specific time slot. Brent did an incredibly thorough inspection on our future home, and wasn’t hesitant to explain things to me in detail. What made the 4-hour home inspection even more enjoyable, was Brent’s very personable and honest attitude. He was so easy to get along with. Brent made the inspection informative, and I learned a lot from it. Brent provided a report with pictures at the end of the inspection. I would hire Brent again, and would definitely recommend him for your home inspection needs. Brent is a professional that you will not be disappointed with.
