resale home inspection

I just spoke to Brent, about 2 week after the inspection. Brent not only took his time to inspect the house thoroughly, he also provide good after-sale service. I gave him a call today as I just got a few things bother me about the home. He answered my called, checked his notes and called me back the same evening to address my concern. I know I am not going to lose sleep tonight ; )

He is definitely a joy to work with, and he respected all parties involved in the process. Good to have him to be a part to this life changing process .

Thanks again Brent.

Thank you for the feedback Rick ! As well, the kind words. Rick, I will get calls from people that I did inspections for several years ago. They may have come across a concern and just want more information or just a piece of mind. Just yesterday I received a call from a couple who I had done an inspection for 2 years ago. At the time of my inspection I had noted a concern with a valley on the roof. Well, it did leak not long ago and they called me asking for different methods of repair. I gave them very inexpensive alternatives (that would get them out of a quick jam), and also what I felt would be best for a long term solution. (the rest of the roof was newer and in great shape). They were just simply looking for alternatives as to changing the entire roof as this is what they were told to do by "roofers". Once again, with all the great roofing companies out there, certain companies were trying to take advantage of a situation. Thank you for the feedback Rick and yes, always please feel free to contact me !

Home inspection

Brent was quick, professional, and very personable. He also offered to accept any follow up questions, and sent along pictures of the house free of charge. I would reccomend him to anyone.

Thank you Tim for the feedback ! Interesting, when I first read the review and came across the word "quick", it stopped me. I don't like the word "quick" and "home inspection" in the same sentence. Then I remembered...ahhh...one of the house flippers who use my services has left feedback! Just to let the reader know, young entrepreneurs such as Tim here want to know what to expect when renovating. I can help with the guidelines of what it should cost. They're not so concerned with the finer details. Yes, I do email the pictures taken at the time of inspection. Take care, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home inspection

We had Brent do our home inspection for us back in the spring. He was friendly and professional and gave us a very through analysis of what was right and wrong with the house. So far everything he has mentioned is right on the dime. Brent not only delivered great service but he also made himself available for any post inspection questions. We have contacted him a couple of times since and each time he got back to us quickly. Great job Brent!

Thank you so much for the feedback Paul and Sheila!!! It is much appreciated ! I see these reviews that people leave (such as yourself) and I view it like when a person goes into his/her bosses office to get the quarterly review on their proformance. Ultimately when people hire me, I am working for them, and I need to know what they think. I would think you would want to know every little detail regarding the home. When possible, I try and give people economical ways to repair/ replace things. It's not always possible, but in many cases it is. It means a lot to me when people take the time to write a review. I'm glad that you are happy with the inspection. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections !!!

Home inspection

We've been in our new home (a resale) for a year and a half and thanks to Brent, there have been no unpleasant surprises. I still remember how he took his time to cover every aspect of our 20 year old house. On a somewhat sentimental note, I also appreciate how patient he was with my father (now deceased). What a knowledgeable, kindhearted man. Thank you, Brent.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback. It is much appreciated! After reading this review, I wasn't even sure how to respond. I remember your father. he was a true gentleman. Then I thought to myself how fast time truely passes us by. It really didn't seem that long ago when I had done that inspection. My sympathy goes to you and your family. I'm glad that you were happy with the inspection. Please, always feel free to contact me if you ever have a question regarding your home. Take care for now and thank you for the kind words...Brent.

Home Inspection

Being a first-time home buyer, it was comforting to know that Brent did a thorough and meticulous inspection of our home. He outlined the items that we needed to address in a organized and simple-to-read binder.

Thank you for the feedback Jerry ! It is much appreciated. Jerry, the bottom line is this, you hire me, I work for you. Very simple. I would think that with the cost of houses these days, one would want to know every little detail about the home. Let's face it, you not sending me in to go look at some carrots and celery here. A home is a major, major expense. I wouldn't leave the property until you understood everything. It's your money buying it, not mine. I don't "pass" or "fail" homes, nor do I give them a "rating out of ten". At the end of the inspection it will be you that does this. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections !!!

Home Inspection

We hired Classic Home Inspection to look at a home we were planning to purchase. Brent (the inspector) provided a thorough and careful inspection of the home as well as a well organized report, supported with digital photographs of the various features of the home. Brent was very considerate and explained not only what he found, but also why it was important to look at these various features of the home, as well as the longer term implications of what he found. This latter aspect was very important to us as we are not experts and would not necessarily have appreciated the items he brought to our attention had he simply listed them in a report.

Thank you for taking the time and leaving feedback Dan ! It is much appreciated ! I personally feel that the report that we use here at Classic Home Inspections is relitivly easy to understand and provides all the necessary information regarding the home. In the past, I have used great big bulkly reports that seem to cause more confusion than anything else. I had more callbacks of people not clear as to what was on the report, and quite frankly, it took me time to figure it out as well. So I changed reports. I have even seen other inspection companies providing a sparce little report one to three pages in length. To be honest, anyone could have filled it in. So, I go with the report that satifies the consumer. I have stuck with it and the feedback has always been positive. As far as pictures go, well I'm taking them anyway, so I always offer them at the end. Plus I figure you've probably got a lot on your mind when buying/ selling/ looking for a home and chances are you won't remember everything that I've said and shown you, so the when going through the report, hopefully the pictures clarify things a little. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections !

Home inspection

I bought my very first home and decided to go with Classic Home Inspections. It was a very good learning experience for me. I had a number of questions about my home and I found Brent to be very patient and thorough. He took the time to answer all of my questions. He gave me a lot of tips about how to repair various items and even explained how to light my wood burning fireplace. He went above and beyond what I expected. It was worth every penny.

Thank you for the feedback Margaret !!! It is much appreciated ! I try and make the inspection process a learning experience. Many home inspectors want you to stay out of their way so they can get the job done and do a quick review at the end. I much prefer the person "shadow" me, asking as many questions as they can come up with. People have lots of questions and I want to answer them. Including how to operate a wood burning fireplace safely ! If it takes a little longer so be it. My goal is simply have you understand the home to its fullest. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections !

Home Inspection

My husband and I were very satisfied with Brent's professionalism, knowledge, thoroughness and friendliness. During the inspection, Brent learned that we have a newborn, and gave specific suggestions to ensure his safety. He also welcomes questions during the process and doesn't ever make you feel as though your question is dumb. The pictures and report that are provided after the inspection are very helpful. The report is very detailed and user-friendly for newbies. Brent's services were well worth the money spent.

Thank you for the feedback Amy !!! As well, the kind words. That's right Amy, there are no dumb questions. Good grief, you're buying a home, ask everything !!! I'm there to answer them. I would sooner you ask me first then to ask someone trying to sell you something. A good home inspector should ask things like will there be young ones, elderly, or about tennants in the basement. Not because we're nosey, but because it's good to get advice or purhaps be weary of certain things when living in the home. As we all know, people can get hurt around the home. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections !

Home inspection

Brent was one of a number of inspectors referred to me by my agent. I decided to call him after I read the reviews on homestars.com and in addition to sounding knowledgeable in his trade; he was also quite accommodating in terms of timing and pricing.

Brent conducted the inspection of my property with thoroughness and professionalism, making sure to carry me along in the process. He provided detailed and comprehensible explanations about the various aspects of the inspection which were invaluable as I had little or no idea about the workings of some of the systems in the home. The inspection report was very detailed and offered advice on future maintenance requirements and the pictures were a nice addition to the package.

The attitude with which a task is undertaken is as important to me as the work product and that is one of the reasons I decided to go with Classic Home Inspections. It was rewarding to see that Brent brought the enthusiasm which had come through over the telephone to his work and there was not a dull moment for the duration of the inspection. At the end of it, I felt I had received real value for my money.

Thanks, Brent, for making my first home inspection experience a pleasant one.

Thank your for the feedback Akunna !!! It is much appreciated ! Akunna, you were smart by doing your homework when opting to go with "your realtors home inspector". It is wise that asked for a list. Not just one particular company that your realtor likes to use. Ensure that your inspector is legit. Are they working for you or the realtor. Remember, many home inspection companies rely heavy on realtors for business. Which makes you wonder exactly what may be going on behind the scenes. I've heard certain realtors tell me they like to use certain inspectors because they're cheap and fast. I say "good luck". I'm not one of them. Yes, I'll admit it, some realtors will promote me a little. They like the way I work and truely want whats best for their client. I've even "killed deals" for them. However, they understand that a fact is a fact, and in the end want a happy client. I'm glad you were happy with the inspection Akunna. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections !!!
