Home Inspection

Brent was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He really went out of his way despite the frigid cold temperatures to inspect the roof and outdoors. I appreciate his efforts and would definitely recommend him to coworkers.

Thank you so much for the kind words and review Sarina! (...and the coffee and Italian desserts!) All I can really say is that I "try". I fully respect the fact 1. People spend a lot of money on homes, 2. People pay me a lot of money to give them answers about that home, 3. They need to understand the home they have just purchased inside out. I am glad that you were happy with the inspection.Thanks again so much, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

30 Day New Home Inspection

After reading countless good reviews of Brent, I decided I wanted to get him to do my 30-day new home inspection. Brent was on time and spent a good 4 hours at the house looking over everything. He is a wealth of knowledge and gave me some good pointers along the way. He actually found quite a few things (nothing major, thank god) and was kind enough to list them not only in the binder but also completed the Tarion sheets which saved me a lot of time. He took tons of pictures and emailed me the main ones for my review.

I will definitely recommend him to friends and family and use him in the future.

Thank you so much for the kind words and review Shane! I truly appreciate it! As I was telling you at the inspection, new homes are funny, I simply never know what to expect. It's just amazing what the builder will forget to do, or the excuses they will make up to try and defend themselves for sloppiness. Better yet, is how the heck did certain things even pass inspection by the site supervisor/ city inspector? You are right, it's great news when a new home has minimal wrong with it like yours! Thanks again so much Shane, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!

Home inspection

Brent came highly recommended to us for our first property inspection, and we now know why! In summary, Brent far surpassed our expectation in terms of quality of service. This being our first home inspection, we did not know what to expect. However Brent made our first experience extremely pleasant and enjoyable. He guided us around the property using layman's terms and we were impressed with how much knowledge and practical solutions he was able to offer us during the inspection. He was extremely patient and approachable during the entire time, which helped made our experience that much more rewarding. He was also prompt with sending us photographers taken during the inspection, which he said he could use as a reference in case we ever needed to discuss any concerns about our property in the future - you can't beat that for service!! :)
I would highly recommend Brent to all my family and friends, and we would definitely consider using him again for our next property purchase!! Thanks again for everything Brent!! You rock!!

Awwwe thanks so much Traci! I truly appreciate the review and kind words. I am glad that you were happy with the inspection. People are always so nervous on their first home purchase (yes, we all are), and first time homebuyers seem to have this expectation of something majorly wrong with the home. Every issue that I come across within a home I like to use layman’s terms to keep it simple and to ensure that everyone knows exactly what I am talking about. You are buying a home, I need for you to totally understand everything!!! Impressing people with all the home inspector lingo is not my goal, having people understand the home is ... Thanks sooo much again Traci!!! Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!

home inspection

It was very comforting to have Brent on our side during our home inspection, he went through every sq inch of the home just like he said he would, he was very informative and answered any questions we had for him, now if we move into our new home I trust the report that we received at the end of our inspection to help us down the road with any projects we will need to do, also when it will come down to home insurance the information in our report will help . Thank you Brent for being on our side and letting as know all the bad and good no sugarcoating, we will hilly recommend you to our family and friends.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and for the kind words Vita! I truly appreciate it! A true Scarborough gem! I am glad that you were happy with the inspection (even though I know you weren't happy with everything that I had found!) ;-) ... nonetheless, all of those issues are repairable. I think once those issues have been addressed, you have got yourself a real nice home. Thanks again Vita, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!

Home Inspection

As first-time homebuyers, we wanted to know the good, bad and the ugly of what we were getting into. Brent spent almost four hours going through every square inch of our place. He was incredibly personable, took the time to walk us through everything without scaring us and kept asking if we had any questions. He pressed upon us that we can call him whenever we need to in the future with any questions and that he is always available. We would highly recommend him for anyone's home inspection - you will have confidence in Brent's assessment and recommendations.

Thank you so much for the kind words and review Caleigh! I truly appreciate it. "Flips" can always be interesting. They are either well done, or poorly done where they did it just to sell a home quickly ("Lipstick", as we call it)I think overall they did a good job. There definitely some interesting things done, but overall pretty good. You guys should be quite happy with your purchase. When makes it even better is that the current homeowner was more than willing to fix all of the issues that I had mentioned in the report. That shows class. When the homeowners become defensive, to me that always raises some red flags and it doesn't make for an easy transaction. Enjoy the home, and please always feel free to contact after you have moved into the home if you have any questions whatsoever! Thanks again! ...Brent.

Home Inspection

I had Brent come by our home in the Bloor West area in December and I cannot stress enough how great it was to have him give our newly bought older home a thorough go-over. He walked me through the entire house from the basement to the roof - found a few issues I would never have thought of and was very knowledable and professional. Just a great inspection - he spent a long time expaining everything, making suggestions ... and poked around in every corner and nook! Would highly suggest him for your own inspection needs!! Thanks Brent!

Thank you so much for the kind words and review Peter! I really truly appreciate it! That was a very nice home! (at least I thought so!) It's great when I can show people a thing or two about the home with things they didn't know, more importantly; have them understand the home a little more. Fortunately, there were a couple of smaller issues that are easily fixed. (But must be fixed!) Thanks again so much Peter, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!

Home Inspection

As a first time home buyer, we were completely clueless on what to look for during a home inspection. We called Brent based on the reviews on this site, and he was wonderful to speak to on the phone. Our sellers were giving us a difficult time, so we had to re-schedule with Brent at the last minute, but Brent was more than accommodating and worked with our schedule.

The home inspection was very thorough and in-depth. Brent took us all over the house and not just showed us what needed work, but also how to maintain the house well and what to look out for in the future. Our brother-in-law is currently building his own house by himself, and tagged along with Brent for the entire inspection. I wasn't sure how that would work out, but Brent was ever patient and ever keen in sharing his knowledge with my brother-in-law.

I highly recommend Brent for your next home inspection.

Thank you so much for the kind words and review Sabina! I truly appreciate it. I am glad that you were happy with the inspection. I have no idea why the homeowners were being difficult. I am always under the assumption that there is something to hide or they came across something and are trying to fix it before I get there. No, not always, but it always seems that is the reason. As far as "tagging along", nope, I love when people do. I always have people ask me, “do mind if I come to the inspection" ...my response, "of course!" I much prefer it when the homebuyer is present. Secondly, I like it when people "tag along", this when people totally understand the home, nothing gets overlooked, and people tend to ask more questions as they are seeing exactly what the issue is. This is good for me and you! Again, thank you so much for the review and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspections

As a real estate agent, a trustworthy, personable, solution-oriented, home inspector is gold. Brent has time and time again made the home inspection experience not only informative for my clients, but even enjoyable! He is frank about problems that he finds, but if there is a solution he's aware of, he will gladly share it. Other inspectors I've used simply documented the problems, providing vague references to consult other experts for solutions.
Over the past several years, it has been a pleasure attending home inspections with Brent. Thank you for all the great inspections, and hope to see you at many more.

Oh my my Tim! This is an interesting one! I did not expect this at all. Thank you so much! You know Tim, it's great to work as a team with people. Especially when we are both on the same page. You want what is best for you client, a nice home. I want what is best for you client, a home that they completely understand, inside out. I have "killed deals" for you. Many realtors would throw up their arms and downplay issues, as if the issues are no big deal. Yet you and your clients get right involved. You all take complete interest with the inspection and get right into it. When issues arise, you let me speak freely, not interrupt me and make out as if something is not a big deal, and that I thank you for. In the end, your clients seem to be happy with the inspection (yes, even the deals that don't go through). Thanks again Tim!

HOME INSPECTION

This home inspection company is excellent. They are very detailed they don't miss anything. I would recommend them to all my friends. The inspector was on time he spent 30-45 mins inspecting the outside. One hour in the basement and another hour for the rest of the house. Total 3.5 hours. He answered every question I asked. He took pictures of almost every corner of the house. I got close to 60 pictures and a nice email with all the pictures and a very organized folder with all the details. It worth every penny! Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for the kind words and review Haider!!! That is very nice of you. I am glad that you are happy with the inspection. A very nice Stouffville home! You should be quite happy with your purchase. It is not always "good news" when I am done with an inspection. In many cases, people felt they knew the home well, and that "there are no real problems". I show up, inspect the home, and find a bunch of problems! It is not nice at all to have to tell people this! Anyway, not the case here. Thank you again Haider, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Townhouse Inspection

I recently bought a townhouse and needed to find a home inspector ASAP. As a first time home buyer, I was very weary to use anyone. I chose Classic Home Inspection. Brent was excellent from the start. Best customer service I have seen in a long time. He never rushed us and took his time 'dissecting' the house. He found a broken pipe which if not detected could of caused major problems in the future. I really recommend Brent and Classic Home Inspection!

Thank you for all your help Brent!

Thank you so much for the kind words and review Charlene! I truly appreciate it! A Mississauga gem indeed! I thought that was a great home! It is amazing how such a simple thing could cause such grief. A lazy HVAC installation was going to cause many problems no question about it. It is always nice to see when first time homebuyers hit the jackpot on their first home. Trust me; this is not always the case. I am glad that you were happy with the inspection, it means a lot to me! Thanks again, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!
