    Pre-purchase inspection

    During the inspection session Brent demonstrated great consciousness and high professionalism. He thoroughly analyzed all the shortages, including the hidden and hard-to-find ones, and provided objective estimation of required repairs, which tremendously helped in negotiation for price reduction.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Seva! I really appreciate you taking the time and leaving me such a kind review! Seva, I think you've got a real gem there. Sure, a home that requires some work. But, wow, I think it will be a beautiful home once everything is squared away. A great home to raise your family. Might I add in one of the BEST NEIGHBOURHOODS in the GTA!!! ... I know you'll love it here! Thanks again Seva! Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home inspection on a rainy day

    I contacted Brent for a home inspection late last week. He was able to view the property within a day or two. Even though it was raining he was still diligent enough to climb on top of the roof to inspect the condition of the chimney and shingles. Even our real estate agent didn't expect him to do that. He ensured I understood everything clearly and invited questions and comments. After the inspection, Brent provided me with 109 photographs of the property including a few highlighting the areas of concern. Top quality service!

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Marcus! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! Most people tell me that they don't expect me to go up onto the roof. I can't imagine why. Very rarely will I not go up onto the roof. It's tough for me to see it properly from the ground. Unless if the roof is done, typically I will...rain or shine! Thanks again Marcus, thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    My wife and I worked with Brent at Classic Home Inspection twice during our search for a new home. He always provided consistent, professional and friendly service, taking time to fully inspect and document the home. He also took time to fully explain his findings and recommendations in easy to understand language. I highlt recommend Classic Home Inspection if you are interested in buying or selling your home.

    Home Inspection

    I contacted Brent over a holiday weekend looking for a quick home inspection. He was able to inspect the house the next day - on a holiday. Brent was very thorough and efficient. He went through the entire checklist with my husband and explained all of the repairs involved and what they would cost. With a report and pictures in hand we felt more comfortable about our purchase.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much for taking the time and leaving a review Laura! I really appreciate it. I am glad that you guys are happy with the inspection. No question about it, something shady with that listing agent. I would swear if I had stopped suddenly she would have walked into me. Sometimes when people do that it makes me feel as if there is going to be something hidden. Oh well, I just ripped the house apart! Yes, there were issues, however overall, a very nice home. Thank you Laura, thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home inspection

    Classic Home Inspection was recommended to us by our realtor. We needed to get a home inspection done for the sale of our house and Brent was very flexible about finding a time that worked for us (he was able to come out within two days of contacting him!). He was professional, efficient, thorough and explained everything as he went along. We appreciated Brent's service so much that we have hired him to do the home inspection on the house we are buying. We highly, highly recommend him!

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much for the kind words and review Emily! I really appreciate it! To get a pre-listing inspection or to not! That is the question! Seems to becoming more popular now than ever before. Many people like you just want a clean transaction. They want to know every detail about the home. Funny enough I just did another home in Lelieville today for a pre-listing, and I looked at the homeowner’s previous inspection report when they bought the home three years ago. It makes no mention of the knob and tube wire that was scattered all over the main and top floors! Not really what the homeowner wants to hear, but hey, at least now it won’t be an issue. Thanks again so much Emily, enjoy your new place, and always please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions about the home. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    home Inspection

    Great experience! Brent was very thorough and knowledgeable;. He showed and explained everything he was doing and went over every detail of his notes at the end of the inspection, to ensure I understood what he had done. I highly, highly, highly recommend this company and without a doubt would use Brent again in the future!!!

    Answer from pro:

    Well thank you so much for the review Smith in Brampton, soon to be in Milton! I see you've bought yourself a great big home just big enough to accommodate your shoe collection! ;-) (Sorry had to get that in). Seriously, that was a great home. Like I had mentioned over the initial phone call, you've really got to watch those first phase homes that were put up in Milton about 10 years or so ago. A lot of those homes that I've inspected have had a lot of problems. However, yours was great! Always please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions about the home! Thanks again, thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    Brent drove a remarkable distance to help us inspect a home. He LOVES Scandinavian design and ingenuity - and at least one drummer. Brent inspects the home Mantracker-style - he's a ninja! He's thorough and makes sure you understand everything he finds. Thanks for great service Brent and let's have a cup of Danish beer next time you are in the neighbourhood!

    Answer from pro:

    Well well my new Danish friend and new neighbour! Welcome to the best neighbourhood in the GTA! ;-) I must admit I smiled when you first called and told me the area you were moving to. I knew you would love it here! Well, that and the fact I knew there would be no traffic from one end of my street to the other. What a beauty mid century home you've just bought yourself. Yes, you can fill it will all that funny looking Scandinavian furniture you want, total "Dwell" magazine stuff, that jet age atomic stuff that looks uncomfortable and makes no sense. Trust me, once you have moved in, I will be swinging by to say "hello". I will guarantee you and your family will love your new home. Thanks again Ulrik! Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Pre-purchase Home Inspection for resale home

    Brent was prompt, friendly and accommodating. He was meticulous and took his time going through the entire home in detail with me. He even spent a significant amount of time cramped up in the crawlspace to ensure there were no leaks! His honestly, professionalism and friendly demeanor lead to a great overall experience. I highly recommend Classic Home Inspections for your home inspection needs!

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Ricky for taking the time to leave me a review and also for the kind words! Cramped crawlspaces are my specialty! LOL! Nothing sure beats a face full of spiders and cobwebs. I particularly liked this one as there was a ton of storage in it for me to move around. ;-) Anyways, always please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions whatsoever! Thanks again Ricky, enjoy your new home, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!

    Home Inspections

    Brent did a great job, He went through the entire house with me from roof to basement. He also went through every corner and found some hidden water damage spots. He explained to me everything he found that was wrong with the house. He also gave me solutions and estimated cost on how it may be fixed. Overall nice and friendly guy. Would recommend him to anyone.

    Answer from pro:

    Khanh, thank you so much for taking the time and leaving me a review. I really appreciate you doing this for me. You know it's funny, when you told me about that other home inspector that you used a week ago, I simply shook my head when you told me that he simply walked up to the house, told you that the home was older than he thought, and upped the price $50 on you. For what? Because the house was a little older than he thought? I inspected a home from 1802. I didn't charge extra. A home inspector shouldn't care how old the home is. It's just we have to look for different things, that's it. To me, he just ripped you off an extra $50 bucks for no reason whatsoever. Oh well, I can see that you didn't call him back either for the next inspection! Thanks so much again Khanh! Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspections

    We had Classic Home Inspections look at the home we had just purchased. With the inspection, we found six cracks in the foundation walls, all of which were causing leaks into the basement. As well, every single window had leaked and water damage was present with mold below every window. We were able to negotiate down due to this. All and all we were quite happy and would gladly recommend Classic Home Inspections to our friends and family.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Paul for taking the time and leaving me a review. I really appreciate it! Yes, this home did have its issues, but nothing that can't be fixed. It's just a matter of who's going to be covering the costs. Fortunately, you were able to use the report to your advantage and get the price to come down a little bit to help out with those problems. If you ever have any questions about the home always please feel free to contact me! Thanks again, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!
