Home inspection

Brent was very thorough, friendly and accessible. Especially appreciated were his complimentary follow-ups on phone and email. He was able to come out and do a home inspection on short notice during the holiday season. Great job and thanks so much!

home inspection

Brent is a very professional and highly knowledgeable. I rececieved quotes from 3 vendor and Brent was not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive. But he is excellent value for the money. He returns your emails and calls promptly and is on time for the appointments He spent over 3 hours inspecting the home, going onto the roof and into the attic. He gave a very honest report of the home. He discovered the roof was rotting and the drier was venting into to walls instead of outside the home. Unfortunately we ended up not purchasing the home. But within a few weeks, we called Brent again to inspect another home. Brent is truly a rare gem. Thank-you.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review Amy! I really appreciate it! That's too bad about the home you were looking at, it was nice, but it did have its issues. Don't worry; I'm sure the next home you look at, it will be a more positive experience. Thanks again so much Amy, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection

Buying a house is not easy and we all know that emotions run high especially when you are at the stage of Home inspection . Classic Home inspection does an awesome job at these times for you
These guys are one of the best. He showed up before time and did a very thorough job. He went through everything and answered all our questions.
He explained the pit falls and I would say that he saved us from buying the wrong house. Although it was a pretty new house brent was able to identify major defects and guide us on the right path. We did not buy the house in the
end but when we do find another house we are sure it is Brent who is going to do the inspection. I am glad I found a company whome i can trust with one of my most expensive purchase

Ahhh Nitish ! Wasn't that an interesting one! First off, thank you so much for taking the time and leaving a review! Every time I think of that home I simply shake my head. I mean really, a custom built, million dollar, three year old home and to have THAT many problems is absolutely unbelievable. I cringe when I think back to standing in all that sewage from the toilets in the basement! I mean really, you think they would have cleaned it up!!! Just goes to show you that the owner didn't really care at all about the place. I was glad to hear you tell me that you would not be purchasing that home. I can only imagine the people who do, I'll bet they even forgo the home inspection. Oh well, I know there's a dream home out there for you! Thanks again Nitish, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection

We just bought our first home and we were very nervous about purchasing a house that was over 40 years old. We hired Brent from Classic Home Inspections following a great recommendation of his services. This was one of the best first investments in the house. Brent is very professional and knowledgable. He looked everywhere and kept as informed every moment about what he is looking at and what his judgement is. This not only covered all areas of the house, but turned us into quite informed home owners.

It is very important for us to know that we are moving in to a well inspected home. Thank you, Brent, your service was excellent.

Home Inspection (re-sale home)

We bought a house in Maple that required a home inspection prior to closing. I called Brent based on the reviews that were given on this web site. He was really friendly, honest and truly helpful to me. Although there were minor things in the house that needed to be repaired, he was able to re-assure me that they were indeed just minor repairs. I would use Brent again and recommend him to anyone. His level of knowledge is outstanding.

Thanks again Brent....:)Katherine

Thank you so much Katherine for the kind words and taking the time to leave me a review! I really appreciate it! That was fun going through the home with your father in-law. I'm used to dealing with overprotective fathers who don't like home inspectors, but this man was a blast to be with! (I loved his approach for dealing with issues..."ahh that's nothing, we'll fix it" ...) Always please feel free to contact me if you ever have questions about the home. Enjoy your new purchase! Thanks again, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!

Home Inspection

Be very careful when you hire Brent to do your home inspection. After 3 years of searching and waiting for a nice house to pop up in a specific area we hired Brent to inspect it for us even though the agent was insisting on his professional guy for $200 less. Brent was extremely nice on the phone and showed up a few minutes early to the appointment. And here is where things got a bit crazy - Brent went a bit crazy. He squeezed himself and peeked into the smallest cracks of the house and after two hours provided us with a binder full of comments one of which was "be careful about this house, it has a mold spot 40inch/sq in the attic and who knows where else that has spread to, plus it's got aluminum wires all over the place and wrong fuses in the electrical panel plus this, plus that, it may cost you a fortune in money and health". We did not buy the house and it's all because of Brent. We are sure the agent's inspector would not have given us the flashing red lights. But we found and bought another house and this time Brent only found very minor issues. If we ever move again Brent will surely be the inspector we will call to do the inspection.

Thank you so much for taking the time and leaving a review Adam! As well, the kind words! Some agents like using certain inspectors because just like you said, probably would have not of given the flashing red lights. First off, a guy that charges $200 bucks less isn't a home inspector; he's a waste of money. But all the best to him, I doubt he will be in business much longer. Did I go crazy? I guess looking at me roll around under things and squeezing myself into things makes me look it! Hey, I gotta do what I gotta do to give you an answer!!!I am glad that you were happy with me and I'm happy that you found a nice home for you and your family! Enjoy your new home, 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!

Pre-purchase home inspection

After being quite disappointed by a previous home inspection by Carson Dunlop we opted to call Brent to inspect a rental property we were considering. Not only was he professional, on time, reasonably priced and very knowledgeable, he saved us big bucks! The photos he took were key to our getting $3000 knocked off the purchase price. Thanks Brent! I can tell you that CD didn't take any photos that we could have used to lower the price. And their inspection costed us way more in the long run.

This house that we just purchased had had a home inspection performed one week prior by another interested bidder. Brent's inspection found many important issues that the previous inspector didn't.

We highly recommend Brent's services. Thanks again Brent!

Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to leave a review Marc and Sheila! I really appreciate it! I think with many industries, sometimes when you hire an independent they take their job a little more serious. I mean, home inspecting is my livelihood. When a person hires a larger company you simply don't know what you’re going to get. However I am glad that you had something to compare me to! Pre-listing inspections are a funny thing as well, sometimes I wonder if they guy who did the inspection even knows what he is doing. So much can be missed on those things. I don't even look at them when I'm on an inspection. I'm glad that I was able to help you with the home and what a bonus to help take a little more off the price of the home. Thanks again so much, and always please feel free to contact me. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!
