inspection of our new home

The provided service was professional, exact, detail oriented, efficient, and reasonably priced. The inspector was very friendly, explained all the details and responded to the questions. He prepared a binder afterwards and shared the pictures. So overall we are very satisfied with the service.

Home Inspection

Brent was great, friendly, informative and thourogh. He answered all of our questions without hesitation and being a female I appreciated that he wasn't patronizing at all. I HIGHLY recommend his service, not to mention the fantastic review binder we received. All of the information provided has been greatly useful. Thanks Brent!

Thank you sooo much Melanie! You don't know how much I appreciate you taking the time and leaving a review! Ha! I must admit that I smiled when I read, "being female I appreciated that he wasn't patronizing at all" Hahaha...do you know how many contractors/ trades people (including inspectors) do? It's like their attitude is "hey you're a girl, and this is construction talk, so you don't know what I'm talking about". Let me tell you this Melanie, many, many women are well informed and well versed with "construction talk"! My goal is to teach a person about the home, not wow them with all my knowledge. Enjoy your purchase and please contact me if you ever have questions about the home! Thanks again, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection on Purchased Home

Classic Home Inspections was recommend to me but a co-worker for a home inspection on my newly purchased townhome. The service from making the appointment right to the follow up report was outstanding. Brent Jeffreys was punctual and affordable. The service he provided was extremely thorough and helpful. As a first time home buyer with limited knowledge in this area, Brent was able to explain everything necessary and answer all questions. The report was inclusive of picture and I received immediately. I would highly recommend the services of Classic Home Inspection Inc.

Awww thank you so much Charonne! I really appreciate you leaving a review for me! I'm more than confident that you will be happy with your purchase. To have that minimal amount of issues with a home is almost unheard of. I have not inspected a home like that is quite some time. It's nice to know that not only was it well built; the person living there knows how to maintain it. Two keys ingredients to purchasing a newer home! Thanks again so much Charonne, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!

home inspection

Brent is the guy you want to call before you sign the final purchase agreement. He went over every inch of our home and ultimately saved us thousands of dollars in repairs we would have missed if we hadn't had the inspection. His report got the sellers to reduce the selling price and we went into the purchase with eyes wide open. Thanks Brent. I will certainly call you if I buy another home.

Thank you so much for the kind words and review Mary! You don't know how much I appreciate it! Not a bad $350 investment eh?! Not in every case will the price of the home be effected, however it can be an effective negotiating tool. I'm glad that you were able to use it in yours. Always please feel free to contact me if you ever have questions about the home. Thanks again Mary, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection

My house was approaching its 1 year and I needed to have an inspection. After reading all the reviews, I didnt hesitate to call Brent. One of the reasons being that some inspectors told me they would'nt go up to the roof. I needed someone to go up there and assure me everything is as should be. Well, as expected, Brent found some issues that needs to be fixed and I could'nt be happier for the peace of mind that brings. I won't hesitate to recommend Brent again and again. He is a true professional.

Thank you soooo much for the review and kind words MJ! That was nice of your homebuilder to leave two gaping holes in the roof. When do we figure those should leak. They knew that was a poor patch job when they did it. I guess they figured since you couldn't see it, it's not there. Anyways, I am glad that you were happy with the inspection. Always please feel free to contact me if you ever have questions regarding the home. Thanks again, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home inspection

I called Brent after seeing the reviews on Homestars. I was disappointed. Brent was on time to inspect a house that I wanted to purchase. He was thorough and methodical, taking notes and pictures. He was up on the roof, in the attic, and on the basement floors.
At the end of the inspection he gave me his honest opinion and even though my purchase fell through, I am certain that it will be Brent that I call for my next home inspection.

home inspection

I can't thank this guy enough. On the day of our inspection, he arrived early & got started right away, writing down notes and taking pictures. He was very thorough & professional yet you do not feel intimidated by him. He was very honest, he will tell you how it is, no more, no less. The property we were looking at was immaculate and clean inside & out, new appliances, roof, window etc. BUT it had a 40 year old furnace which must be replaced, being a first-time homebuyer I would've totally missed that if not for him. We were able to negotiate the price further because of this 'issue'. We also received a binder of all his findings and there he mentioned the aluminum wiring of the house which could be an issue with insurance. Sure nuff, it was an issue & a big SAFETY & COSTLY one at that! In the end, we decided not to buy the place. I can't put a price on safety and peace of mind.

I called this guy like so many times with all my questions (sorry, Brent!) and every single time he would give me the same straight to the point, honest answers.

It was the best $350 I've ever spent so far since I started looking for a house. I will definately hire him for my next inspection, no doubt. So Brent, don't get too comfy, you will hear from me again sooner or later!

Now I just wish there's a realtor like this guy, then the world will be a better place!

Brent, from me and my mom, our sincerest thanks. You saved our necks! :)

Awwwww Grace ! What went wrong with that one? Why on earth was everyone giving you so much friction on this house? Including your realtor? At the inspection, I was thinking to myself, "Are these people for real"? They were so certain with what they were saying I was starting to actually believe them and second-guess myself! They were admit that the furnace was 15 years old and it was over 40. There's a bit of a difference! Then your realtor gives you the Direct Energy number to call them so you can get on a plan? That's the negotiating process? That's comical if anything! Oh well, next one will be a winner! Thanks again Grace, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection

Brent was prompt in answering my calls and scheduling an appointment was extremely easy. He arrived on time and first did an inspection of the exterior of the house starting from the front and then to the rear. He also propped up a ladder and inspected the roof (from the rear of the house). Once the exterior was done, the garage was looked over and then we proceeded into the basement where Brent inspected the cold storage, furnace etc. The main level was then inspected where the fireplace was turned on, the AC etc. Lastly the second level was inspected where Brent inspected the attic for a good 5 to 10 minutes. The entire inspection lasted around two and a half hours.

Overall, this being my first home buying experience I did not know what to expect with regards to the home inspection. That said Brent did an excellent job of explaining everything about the house, showed me how to change filters, what settings to keep various elements of the house at and answered all of the questions I prepared for him in advance.

Thankfully, there was only 1 issue with the house where a 30 amp fuse was used with 20 amp wiring which Brent was quick to spot which definitely needed to be fixed. He also offered to come back when I moved in to check that the wiring was done correctly. In addition, Brent also recommended that I remove the trees that were currently planted in the backyard.

I found Brent very open and willing to answer any questions I asked him. He encouraged me to call him even after I move in if I have any questions at the time. A binder containing all aspects of the home inspection was provided to me immediately after the inspection concluded. Based on my experience with Brent, I will definitely employ his services again when I buy my next home. Thanks for your time and help Brent!

p.s. Brent, I apologize for the delay in posting this review

Wowee ! Thank you so much for leaving that review Keith! I am glad that you were happy with the inspection. People are notorious for doing things around the electrical panel which can cause big time problems...having an incorrect breaker on incorrect gauge wire would certainly be one of them. Easy enough to fix, but certainly something you don't want. Always please feel free to contact me if you ever have question about the home or the report itself. Thanks again Keith, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!
