    Home Inspection

    Brent did a very thorough inspection of the 25 year old home we bought.  He is extremely pleasant to deal with.  He took his time looking at everything in the house, inside and out.  He climbed up on the roof and took his time checking it out, despite being a very cold winter day.  He spent at least 15 minutes in the attic.  He detailed any issues to us, explained how serious they were, and made many suggestions on how to remedy these issues.  We would definitely use Brent again and would highly recommend him for home inspections.

    home inspection

    I recently had my home inspection done by Brent and I'm glad I called him for the job. I was actually very skeptical at first about this home inspection thing and even considered opting out of it at one time, but decided to give it a try after reading many positive reviews about him on this website. Brent was very knowledgeable and walked through every inch of the house, noticing a few things that I wouldn't have noticed on my own, gave me tips on dealing with those issues. He also checked all appliances and paid special attention to any signs of water leaks. In the process, I learnd quite a few things from him and feel more confident about my new house as a result. All in all, it was a very positive experience for me and I'd say it was definitely worth it for me. Thank you Brent!

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Seung! Thank you for the kind words. You know what Seung? You are bang on for being "very skeptical" about this whole home inspection thing. I find many home inspectors to be very questionable. I can honestly look a person in the eye and say that all of my reviews on Homestars are from "real customers"...where I'm not so sure every inspector on Homestars can. I've been doing inspections for 10 years and I've been on Homestars for 7 years and it's taken a lot to earn people trust. I am glad that I have earned yours. Always please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions whatsoever about the home. Thank you so much Seung, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    I recently had Brent (for the 3rd time over the past 5 yrs) do an inspection-as always, he was punctual/professional/thorough and his friendly, helpful manner took the stress out of dealing with all the details. I would definitely recommend Brent/his Firm & use him again if the occasion arises. Karen/Scarborough

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Karen! We have looked at a few together haven't we! I can't believe that last home that we did, why were the homeowners trying to cover up a major issue like that? That was going to be a big time repair job. I really hope that the next potential buyer hires a inspector as well. I can only imagine what that is going to cost somebody. Oh well, it won't be you! Thanks agian Karen, thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    I have had Brent inspect two houses for me now (the first one not working out), and he is excellent at what he does. He is thorough, detailed, and honest, which is exactly what I wanted in a home inspector. He took the time to show me everything that he was looking at and explaining it in a way that I (as a layman) could understand. He made sure I was comfortable with what I was seeing before leaving a room and was always prompting me to ask questions as we went through the house. I will be recommending Brent to anyone I know who is looking for a good home inspector in the GTA. Thanks again Brent. You saved me from a bad house deal in the frist place, and helped me find a great home for my family this time around. I look forward to working with you in the future. Patrick

    Answer from pro:

    Well Patrick, I think you've found a gem with this home. Yes, a home that had some issues, but just your typical stuff really. It will be quite some time before I forget about the first home you hired me for, talk about shady realtors, shady home inspectors who were lying about mold that they missed on the pre-listing inspection, overall that was just going down the wrong road. I'm sure you're going to enjoy this one. Always please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions whatsoever. Thanks again, thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    We were concerned about the whole Home Inspection process as this was our first house, and we were unsure of who to go to. I found Brent on Homestars, it turned out our realtor also had used him before and had good things to say about him and his sevice. So we decided to go with him, and we were extremely happy with his service. He took the time explain all the work that needed to be done, and he was able to also point out some faulty electrical work that was done that enabled us to go back to negotiate a better deal on our house. I have already recommended Brent and Classic Home to our friends.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Khobie for the kind words and review! I really appreciate it! Yes, I know your realtor very well, but you probably did the wise thing by also doing a little homework and looking elsewhere for your inspector. Homestars is certainly a good starting place. I'm glad that you found the inspection to be helpful when making the decision on making the purchase. All the best, and please contact me if you ever have any questions whatsoever. Thanks again and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    Brent is probably one of the most thorough home inspectors around. He went through the house in much detail, and was willing to explain things to us throughout the entire inspection. He answered all our questions objectively and made practical suggestions to improve on any of the house's shortcomings. We highly recommend Brent --- it is no wonder that Classic Home Inspections gets the rave reviews it gets!

    Home inspection

    We had conditionally bought an older bungalow and i had found brent on homestars, he was able to come out the next day. When he arrived he started by touring around the outside of the house and foubd some minor issues but things that are easy fixes. He did an extremely thurough inspection. When finding issues, he explained the serioussness of them and in the end outlined what has to be done now vs something that can be taken care of later on. He made both my wife and myself feel very comfortable about purchasing our new house. We would recomend him to any of our friends looking to buy.

    Home Inspection

    I was looking for an honest opinion on our house before we renovate or put it on the market. I shopped around and asked for quotes from different home inspectors, some of the 'best rated' were ridiculously overpriced and asked for extra money to perform services they considered 'additional'. Brent provided a full inspection and his pricing was very reasonable. He's VERY helpful, and very informative. He will take the time to sit with you and address any concerns you might have. When I purchase a home, I'll be calling him again. I would recommend him to anyone who's looking for a good home inspector.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Tania! I really appreciate the review! First off Tania, I never like to bad mouth my competition, but that one competitor you are talking about has always been very controversial with his reviews since the day he jumped on board with Homestars. Which wasn't that long ago. Anyways, I'm glad you were able to see right through it. All the best with sale of your home and in looking for a new one! Always please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions whatsoever! Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    Not only was Brent informative, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful, he delivered all that was promised and more. I've had two home inspections with Brent already and he will be my 100% go to guy for any home inpections and questions for the future as well. He is honest and on time, which highly influenced by buying choices! Great work.

    Answer from pro:

    Aw thanks so much Michelle! I really appreciate you taking the time and leaving me a review! I am so glad that you were happy with the inspection. I remember the first home we looked at, there was a part of me that was thinking, "this home is not for them"... the second one, "yes, this home is much better". Enjoy the home, all the best, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!
