    Home Inspection

    I would highly recommend Brent from Classic Home Inspections Inc. without hesitation for any home or property inspection. Brent was able to accommodate our very tight deadlines and was not only extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and professional, but very personable and patient. He methodically inspected every inch of the property, including the attic, entire roof, and garage, and took detailed and meticulous photographs and notes, which will help me immensely in the necessary renovations of the property before we move in. Thank you soooo much Brent! We now know what needs to be done and has provided much peace of mind!

    Pre-purchase inspection

    We have hired Brent for a pre-purchasing house inspection. He came within 2 days of contacting him. We are very pleased with his service. Brent was very patient and thorough with the inspection and he answered all of our questions. I would definitely hire him again or recommend him to my friends. Thanks Brent

    New Home Inspection

    My initial thought of this company was great - Brent was very friendly and appeared to do a great job/know what he was doing. We hired Brent based on the reviews on Homestars. Our pre-purchase home inspection indicated that the roof on the house should last us 10-12 years. Clearly this was not the case, as our ceiling collapsed 3 months after we moved into our new home and the 3 roofers who came to inspect indicated that the roof was in pretty bad condition (all pointed out clear areas where the installation was done poorly/improperly) and it should have been noted on a home inspection. Needless to say, we weren't expecting to need to put a new roof on our house, and it likely would have impacted our offer price had we known the roof needed to be replaced.

    Answer from pro:

    Hmm, Charlene...this is an interesting one. First let me say that I am truly sorry to hear about your bad experience after moving into the home. You certainly don’t deserve that. Now, just hear me out. You've taken the time to post a very thorough review based on my company "missing" a major roof issue on the Homestars website. However, you never took the time to let me know that this has happened until now. I tell each and every person that hires me to "please contact me if you ever have any questions whatsoever" Now I would think that if your ceiling has collapsed after you move in it should at least be brought to my attention. When I was on the roof, I took a bunch of pictures (which I sent you) showing the condition of the shingles. After review of my pictures I can see those are new top grade high end shingles that someone spent a lot of money on. The flashing on the curbs of the roof look to be in excellent condition as well. This being the case, it would still be under a warranty. Unfortunately, the roofing companies failed to mention this to you. You could have simply gone back to the roofing company who installed the shingles and taken it up with them. Most importantly of all, there was a picture of a raccoon on the roof which is nesting. Based on what you have told me with the ceiling collapsing, I actually think the raccoon must have damaged the roof, allowing a bunch of water to enter the home at once, therefore damaging the ceiling to such an extreme degree. Not too many roofers are going to want to “fix” a roof, not enough money in it for them, they want to replace it. I do appreciate the review Charlene, however I can only encourage one to get a hold of me if they have such an issue at that time. Thank you…

    Home Inspection for first house purchase

    Brent from Classic Home Inspections was very patient, thorough, knowledgable, and prompt. We are buying a resale home on a very aggressive schedule and despite the rush of scheduling he took his time to make sure NOT ONE LITTLE ITEM was missed, inside or out. Brent explained all facets of the inspection and prioritized recommended repairs and renovations according to the true condition of the house, and really made us feel confident that we are making the right choice in buying this property. We intend to go nowhere else but Classic Home Inspections for any home purchases in the future for our family.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Will and Amy!!! About the two coolest people whom I've ever met! I'm glad that you guys were happy with the inspection. If you ever have any questions or concerns about the home always please feel free to contact me. All the best and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    What do you get with a home inspection from Brent? Everything! Brent took the time to analyze and photograph every square inch of the house and prompted me for questions throughout the process. I have close friends that are in the home inspection game, but Brent and Classic Home Inspections will be my team moving forwards. Brent's diligence, despite the homeowner being present and somewhat hostile revealed a huge health and safety concern prior to purchase: it was something that might have been easily missed by other inspectors, and would have definitely been missed by myself. My experience with Brent was an honest, diligent, highly professional one that I would not hesitate to recommend to all.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Michael for taking the time and leaving me a review! I am so glad that you were happy with the inspection. It means a lot to me. Boy, nothing sure beats a little hostile environment added to a dull home inspection! I have no idea what that persons problem was. That's okay, you got her back when your agent told her the roof needed replacing and there was a bunch of mold in the attic that she was now going to have to deal with. If you ever have any questions whatsoever always please feel free to contact me! Enjoy your home!!! Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspection!

    Home Inspection

    #1...why? 1. Found vermiculite insulation (some contain asbestos) UNDER other insulation in the attic. That alone was worth the money we spent. 2. Was very thorough. 3. Down to earth, straight up and to the point. 4. On time (got there before we did!). 5. All around impressed with his excellent service.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much for the kind words and review guys! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave it for me. Wasn't that the house were the listing agent knew it was there and when it was brought to his attention he mentioned that it had already been tested for asbestos and came back negitive? Then when you asked to see the lab report no one could produce it? So as it turns out it did contain asbestos! Good thing you didn't listen to him. If you ever have any questions whatsoever always please feel free to contact me. Thanks again and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    Classic Home Inspections Inc. made our first home purchase an experience to remember. We had to reschedule with Brent and he was able to accommodate. Even before walking onto the property Brent noticed chimney issues - he took the time to go on the roof to inspection (even in the middle of winter!) Well worth the time and price getting a home inspection done. We were able to save on our purchase price (which is always a plus.) We will recommend Classic Home Inspections Inc. and Brent to our family and friends for all future home buying and pre-home sales.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Shawn! I really appreciate the review. That's fantastic that you were able to save some money on the purchase price of the home by using the inspection report. I'm also glad that you were happy with the inspection. All the best for now 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!
