Classic Home Inspections Inc.

We used Classic Home Inspection service to inspect our future home. Ed did a very thorough inspection and was very professional. He arrives earlier than the agreed on time and took his time to look through the house. He gave us suggestions and his fees were reasonable. We highly recommend his services.

When we were looking for a home inespector, we thought of using Mike Holmes' services . However, after seeing the reviews on Home Stars and realizing inspectors were subcontracted, we looked for someone else,hopefully the best in the market. This is how we found Brent.
Brent took the time to explain us everything, asked us many times if we had any questions, guided us on how to go back to the builder and how to ask them to replace things that need to be fixed and told us to contact him if we had more questions in the future.
Although it was a new house, Brent found mold in the basement's insulation, which could have cost us thousands.
He was very polite,good sense of humor , extremely knowledgeable and tech savy (he shared our pics on a cloud system so that we could download them)
Thank you brent for all your help!
Cheers,
Claudette & Loic

Brent gave me advice on three houses, although I only paid him for two. For the first house I was looking at, the seller agent was trying to push me to put in an offer without any condition so that the seller would accept without waiting for the offer date and hence bidding war. I called Brent to see whether he can do a home inspection before I put in the offer. Brent warned me of the risk of not having a home inspection and said any reasonable seller would agree to give a couple of extra days for home inspection. I went back to the seller and insisted to have a condition on home inspection. It turned out that not only the seller accepted the condition, but also they couldn't draw any other offer at the end of the day. Their fishy behavior made me walk away and the house sit on the market for a long time, not being able to sell even after a couple of significant price reductions.

For the second house, it was being sold "as-is", but was priced low and everyone only had one chance to put in the best offer. I asked Brent to do a home inspection before I put in the offer. After inspecting the house, Brent said he didn't understand why it was being sold "as-is" because it is a very solid house structurally, although the inside needed update. Sure it was a good house; it was finally sold 25% over asking.

For the third house, Brent did such a thorough inspection that even my agent said she never saw a home inspector as thorough as Brent. He not only looked for problems, but also found solutions for them, and provided info regarding the costs of fixing them. He is very knowledgable and takes the time to explain details.

I highly recommend Brent for any home inspections.

I am very satisfiled with Brent's home inspection. He was very thorough, took his time, patiently explained all aspects of the house, gave me useful tips/advice, and was a very nice and pleasant guy to deal with. I highly recommend his inspections to anyone buying a home.

With only a few days left until the deadline to submit our 1 year forms to Tarion, we decided to hire a Home Inspector to inspect our home for defiencies that we may have missed. We also decided at last minute to use a home inspector to ensure that our house had no major problems. Searching the internet and then homestars we came across a few companies. After reading through the reviews, and speaking on the phone with Brent from Classic Home Inspections, we decided to have him inspect our home, over another company. He sounded the most honest, knowledgeable, and down to earth. He was also able to do the inspection with such short notice. On the day of the inspection, he was very thorough. We are very happy that he had found some deficiencies that we had missed which included another foundation wall crack and a water leakage. He later provided us with the photos with the deficiencies. Overall, a good home inspection.

I found Brent from Homestars.com, and no doubt he had very good knowledge and he knows exactly what to look in a old house, I am quite satisfied with his service. Thanks Brent for your valuable inputs and advises.

Brent was very helpful; I will say that I didn’t expect so much information. I asked him everything that I was worry about the house and he had patience to walk me through. He gave me good tips in how to fix the floor of the house (it was squeaking?), the basement window and he help us in trading with the seller some items vs. small repairs...What is more important he gave us the option to call him anytime if we need help or if we still have questions about our house. That is very important to know that you can count on the relationship with him, that you can follow up, that the service didn’t end right after you close the door... Great job Brent, thank you very much.

I can't explain how greatful I am to have met Brent and have him handle my home inspection on a potential home. He was very thorough, extremely honest and cares about his clients best interest. Brent's work saved me from buying a home with 10yrs of mold in the attic. The whole top of the home would need to be replaced. MOLD is not something to mess around with and not an easy problem to resolve. This issue was brought to the sellers attention and they refused to lower the price or fix the problem. Needless to say I decided not to purchase the home due to the MOLD issue. To all buyers please trust Brent with inspecting your potential home, he will not let you down. A home is the largest investment in your life, you need a trust worthy inspector to advise you on your options. I will be calling you soon Brent. Thank you so much.

Brent is an awesome inspector! He was thorough and offered helpful tips and advice. I was happy and highly recommend Classic Home Inspections when purchasing a new home. It will hep you to know that you are buying a good solid home.
