    Home Inspection

    Brent was prompt and very easy to reach. He took his time with the inspection and answered all of our questions. Even after the inspection he responded back to me very quickly when I was looking for some recommended repair companies. He is experienced and I believe he identified all of the major issues with the house. The Home Inspection report he provides is hand written and in hard copy format. I would have preferred a soft copy of the report - but other than that minor detail we were happy with his services.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for the review Jen! I really appreciate it! It usually throws a curveball into the deal when I come across a bunch of mold within a home, but that's great that the homeowner is going to take care of that entire mold cleanup. That can certainly be a very high bill for someone to pay for. It will certainly give you piece of mind when you take over the home. Esp. with the new addition to the family! Thanks again Jen, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Mid-century Home Inspection

    My wife and I bought a house in December of 2011, and had to arrange for a home inspection. We found Brent Jeffreys of Classic Home Inspections here on HomeStars. Due to our work constraints, neither my wife nor I could be present during the home inspection (really unfortunate), but one of my relatives was able to go. My relative (retired from CMHC with an extensive background in housing/home issues) said Brent was, without exaggeration, the best home inspector she's ever seen. Brent was prompt, professional, knowledgeable and very thorough. He checked out all of the appliances, got up and spent an extensive amount of time in the attic, walked all over the roof (and it was raining), and was able to put together a comprehensive report on the good and the bad. Actually, on one occasion Brent's report saved us from being ripped off by an unscrupulous contractor! Although there were some minor issues with the house, we were able to buy it with confidence because of the information in the report. If you ever need a home inspector who knows what he's doing, is very thorough and reliable, look no further than Brent.

    Answer from pro:

    Whoa! Thank you so much for the kind words and review Dave! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave it. You mean to tell me that a contactor tried to rip you off? Ha! Fancy that. Well, I am glad that you were able to use the report to fend off the contractor. To be honest, I am used to dealing with the opposite. People want to believe their contactor and then they call me hastily because they don't want to believe the contractor is about to rip them off. People forget that I have nothing to sell. A contractor does. I cringe when I hear that it is a “friend” doing the work. No, of course your “friend” isn’t trying to rip you off and make me look bad. Dave, thanks again so much 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!

    Home Inspection Services

    Brent is the only employee of this company and this translates into exceptional service all the time. I have dealt with Carson Dunlop Home Inspections and other popular companies with flashy marketing materials, however their employees treated inspections as a job while Brent took my home inspection very seriously and quite personally.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to leave a review Patrick! I truly appreciate it! It's funny, I have no interest in "bashing" my competition, but when people tell me stories of other home inspection company’s customer service I almost laugh out loud with what people tell me. There is no customer service! It seems many companies attitude is "too bad, so sad" approach. Amazing how they even stay in business! Anyways, I’m glad that you were happy with me! Thank you so much again Patrick! Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    Bent from Classic Home Inspections did our home inspection for our newly purchased home. He was on time and super easy to work with. We walked the entire site with him asking questions along the way. He was super friendly and knowledgeable and did a great job. He emailed us the home inspection pictures before we even got home from the house he was inspecting. Good dude, Good price.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to leave a review Mike! Mike, I've got to be honest, I always have a soft spot for homes that are in my area. When I first starting inspecting I didn't even know of this place. Then, through inspections, I fell in love with this neighborhood and had to get a place here myself! What an absolute gem of a home you just bought. What a property! What, wasn't it like two miles long or something? Seemed like it anyway. A toboggan hill in your own backyard! That was totally crazy! What a place to raise your family. I truly wish you both the best with that home and always please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions about the home! See you at the parades ... Thanks for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    Absolutely a wonderful experience. Brent was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. investigated every aspect of the home from top to bottom, and gave an accurate report with detailed information. He was honest about what would need to be replaced and when it may need to be replaced. He knew exactly what he was doing and physically showed us any issues, not just reported them. The best home inspector I have ever dealt with, highly recommended.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Robert for taking the time to leave me a review and the kind words! I truly appreciate you taking the time to do so. A true "gem" of a home you've got there. What made it even better is that there was next to nothing wrong with it. How often do I come across a home like that? Like never! I am more than positive you and your family will enjoy your new home. All the best, and always please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions whatsoever. Thanks again, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    I too recommend Brent...

    This was our first experience buying a home in country side with its own sewer and well system and Brent did an amazing job with the inspection..Though it was away from the city, he turned out at the promised date and time and did a thorough job..At first I was skeptical to select someone based on a review in Homestars.com but now I'm glad I did that..He turned out to be exactly the same person as described :-) squeezing into every little corners, attic, crawl space and doing a thorough job..call him and you wont feel disappointed!

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Bernie for the kind words and review! I told you that I was going to go through every square inch of the home. It's funny, it's like people don't expect me to such a though job. With what people are paying for their homes these days, you gotta know everything about it! Bernie if you ever have any questions about the home, always please feel free to contact me! Thanks again Bernie, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home inspection

    Brent arrived early and got right to work. Open to all of our questions and sent photos that very day. Advised what items had normal wear and tear and when they would need to be repaired [realistic time not manufacture guidline]. Thanks Brent.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much for the kind words and review! You know, I try to be as practical as possible. I don't downplay things but I am very realistic. I think this is why people like to use my services. If people are expecting me to be like the big guy on TV that runs around fixing everything with a wrecking ball and a bulldozer, I tell them that's TV, that's not me. Yes, I will sometimes tell people things I know they don't want to hear, but hey, I've got to be honest with you! In the end, that’s what you’re paying me for. Again, please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions whatsoever about the home. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    Brent did a very thorough inspection for your new home. We need to have someone inspect our place in 2 days and we were fortunate to have Brent do our inspection at such short notice. He explained everything in great detail and took us to each part of the house to show us his findings. At the end, he summarized everything again and provided a detailed report. We are first time home buyers and home inspection is critical for us and Brent just did an excellent job showing us what we need to do in a few years. It was peace of mind.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Anthony in Port Union Village! Ah Port Union Village, a quite gem of an area. Always love inspecting in that area. I'm more than sure that you will enjoy your new home. A few issues yes, but nothing that can't be repaired. Always please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions whatsoever Anthony! Thanks again, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    We had Brent out to help us with a townhouse inspection back in November of 2011. Brent arrived early and immediately started examining the exterior of the house. He was very friendly, answered any questions we had, and didn't mind my dad tagging along for part of the inspection asking a bunch of questions. Though the house inspection was fairly uneventful, we both felt that Brent knew exactly what he was doing and would find any problems if there were any. A very detailed and thorough report was provided to us after. We will definitely be using him in the future and would recommend him to friends and family!

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Lauren for the kind words and for taking the time to leave a review! I really appreciate it! No I did not mind your dad "tagging" along! I actually prefer it when people do! He was very easy going! Heck, sometimes I show up to an inspection and the father is there as if I'm picking up his daughter as my prom date. But that okay, the parents only want the best for their kids! All seriousness, I do like it when someone is there that is well versed with a home. Please Lauren, if you ever have any questions about the home always please feel free to contact me! Thanks again, enjoy your new home, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    Found Brent / Classic Home Inspections on homestars through a quick Google search. Of course there was short notice and Brent came out the property on a Sunday Evening! He is a true professional in every sense of the word and did a great job of explaining everything and answering any questions. He did a very thorough job of inspecting all aspects and areas of the home including plumbing, electrical and structure. He provided his report at the end of his inspection and sent photos the same night! Although the home is only 7 years old and almost brand new, Brent found foundation problems that came up to several hundred dollars worth of repairs. We used his report to successfully get the seller to do the repairs. He responded in a timely manner, is well organized, on time and punctual. His pricing is very reasonable and service top notch. You really do get piece of mind with Brent, and it is not surprise why he’s at the top of the list. What can I say? Don’t mess with a Classic. Thanks Brent! I will definitely be using you again in the future.

    Thank you so much Andrew for taking the time to leave a review! As well, the kind words. Hey, this home inspector works 7 days a week! Morning, noon, and night, I'm ready to go! Yes, the new homes can have their problems...like you wouldn't believe. Although this house had a few issues to be addressed, I've seen much bigger problems with much newer homes! Always please feel free to contact me if you ever have questions about the home. Thanks again Andrew, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!
