    Home Inspection

    Brent came to inspect a condo townhouse we had placed an offer on and he was absolutely awesome!! He was very thorough inside and out of the home! He took his time and explained everything to us and answered every question we had. He addressed every small concern we had about the home, including aluminum wiring lol! He made it very clear that he was interested in looking after our needs and concerns and not the agents. Brent is not only professional and knowledgeable, he is also hilarious and down to earth and talks to you on a level playing field. He is absolutely the best inspector we have used!! He had used other companies and no one else even remotely took as good care as Brent did! I will definitely recommend him to anyone buying a home! Thanks Brent and take care of that Miata lol!

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you Mike for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review!!! I really appreciate it! If I had told you the house was falling down I don't think it would have surpassed your concerns with Aluminum Wire in the home. Here's one for ya, brand new homes have aluminum wire, it comes in from the street to the panel. In many cases it's not the proper gauge wire and I can only imagine what’s going to happen down the road with them. Wanna know why, the price of copper is too expensive so the homebuilders save money by using Aluminum. There you go, something to think about. Now, this home you looked at had NONE! Now you can rest easy. Especially watching your beloved Leafs. Good luck with them my friend. Thanks again Mike, thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections. PS Next time I will show up in a Miata!

    Home Inspection

    Brent from Classic Home Inspections was fantastic! He was very thorough, explained everything to us (we are first time home buyers) and provided us with a nifty binder with oodles of information about our new property! We appreciated that he asked us if there was anything we were concerned about. He addressed all our concerns and taught us a thing or two about our new home. He was very professional and yet had a great sense of humour (and a love of Star Wars which I don't understand). We had a great time during our 2+ hour home inspection. We will recommend Brent to all our family and friends without reservation.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you Jessie in Burlington for the kind words and review! Like most first time homebuyers, you were a total wreak. ;-) Okay, you weren't at all; you guys were actually very good for first timers! I guess a bit stressed out with the previous homes you looked at and the disappointment with the inspections/inspectors. Throw your crazy realtor in the mix and it certainly makes for some fun. Just for the record, I don't have a "love affair" with Star Wars, it's just you wanted to talk about "The Notebook, Time Travelers Wife, Sex and the City", and other movies that I have zero interest in. With me and your hubby taking about Star Wars, it quickly changes the subject and squashes out the movies that you wanted to talk about...and I don't care who says what, that lightsabre scene with Liam Neeson and Ewan Macgregor against Darth Maul is far better than Ryan Gossling running around without his shirt on. ;-) Thank you Jessie ! Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home inspection maintenance

    Based on the reviews on the site, I called Brent since I needed to get some independent advice regarding some issues that I was having with my home. We talked on the phone for about 15 minutes and then set up a time for him to visit my house on the weekend. He arrived on time and spent about 30 minutes as I showed him around and asked him questions. He was able to confirm that I should not invest in anything new until the old equipment stopped working and put my mind at ease that it would be a bit of time before that happened. It was great to talk with someone who obviously knew his stuff and who was not there to sell me something. I would highly recommend Brent to anyone requiring a home inspection.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks so much "you scruffy-looking Nerfhearder"! (hey, anyone who knows Star Wars stuff will know exactly what it is!) That actually brought a smile to my face when I read that! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave me a review and for the kind words. Not a bad idea at all, with all the contractors waiting in the weeds ready to take your money away telling you that "it's broken", "it’s gotta get replaced" you guessed right, the things were fine, they’re just getting a little cranky as they get older. Aren't we all? Thanks so much Nerfheader ! Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    We were looking for a good home inspector and found some amazing reviews about Brent. We decided to go with him and were beyond satisfied! Like the reviews below, he took a look at everything! He even climbed up our super high house to get to the roof. Throughout the visit, he provided sound, detailed advice and pointed issues out to us. He also accommodated to our multi-tasking of getting to know neighbours, taking pictures, getting renovation quotes, showing the house to the 'rents, etc. He ran us through all his work at the end and provided notes for future reference. We highly recommend to go to Brent for home inspections! Thank you! -Jen & Dan

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Jen and Dan! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review for me. I am glad that you were happy with the inspection. I am positive that you will be happy in your new East York home. If you ever have any questions about the home, always please feel free to contact me. That leak in the basement should be an easy fix (they did a nice job of trying to hide it though). Thanks again guys, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    Was a bit skeptical at first with all the +ve ratings and the "Best Of..." awards this company has consistently won. At the risk of sounding like a fake advertisement: All the positive past reviews regarding how Brent conducts his inspections are accurate. I appreciate the peace of mind regarding our home purchase as a result of his inspection and writing this review is sort of a favour in return...so I get it now why there's so much +ve feedback. You will probably call up Brent's main competition and find that Brent is less expensive by a bit (as of May 4). Thanks again Brent - was a pleasure meeting you.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Ben for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review! I really appreciate it! A little "suspect" were we? I don't blame you, I would probably be the same. The funny thing is that it is next to impossible to get people to leave a review. This is why I am so grateful with people such as yourself for taking the time to leave me one. I can honest say that each and every one of my reviews are from REAL CUSTOMERS, where I am more than suspect that one of my competitors on here cannot say the same. As I always tell people, please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions regarding the home. Thanks again, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    My husband and I bought a home in Milton and had Brent do our home inspection. Never being apart of a home inspection before, I was very impressed and surprised at the level of detail that Brent put into his work. He explained to us every detail of what he was doing, what he was looking for, how things worked and what good vs. bad looked like. He got into the attic and even up on the roof. Our real estate agent was even impressed saying that he had never seen such a good job. Thanks for making us feel even better about the purchase of our new home!

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review Michelle!!! I really appreciate it! I am more than confident that you will be happy with your new home. A great home for you and your family. Fortunately, you picked a winner with that one. Milton, the little town that became a city overnight, with that, came a rush of homebuilders throwing up a bunch of homes so fast it came at a cost on the quality of them. But nope, that was a great home! Thanks again Michelle, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    A friend who had used their services referred me to Brent with Classic Home inspections, and I was very satisfied with the service he provided. He was very thorough, and was looking out for my best interest. This being my first home purchase, he explained what he was doing, what things to look out for, what certains things were used for, and gave me tips to prevent future problems. I am glad I went with Classic Home inspections, and in the future would definately use their services again. Thanks Brent, :)

    Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review Sophia! I really appreciate it! Ah, the first time homebuyer, both nervous and excited.

Much appreciated! Thanks again Sophia, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    A colleague recommended Brent from Classic Home Inspections to us and we are extremely pleased with the level of service and professionalism that Brent has exhibited. Certain circumstances required us to have a home inspection arranged and completed the same day. Brent was contacted in the morning and he arrived at the house a little early for his 1PM appointment. He performed a very thorough inspection that took 4 hours to complete. While Brent was inspecting the house he took the time to explain to me exactly what and where the issues are and provided insight on how I would go about repairing these issues. He answered every question put I forward to him and he ensured that I understood his responses. He did not rush through the inspection at anytime. I also appreciate the fact that Brent is willing to answer any questions I have following the completion of the inspection through phone, email, or text. The inspection report was handed to me immediately after the inspection and the photos emailed later that day. Purchasing a home is a major investment and finding the right person to do a proper inspection is very important. Put your mind at ease and give Brent a call. I will definitely be calling him again in the future.

    Thank you so much Tareq for the kind words and for taking the time to leave me a review! I really appreciate it! I am glad that you were happy with the inspection, but it was your enthusiasm that helped it along. People always think they're "getting in my way" or "bothering me" ...nope, not at all. I actually prefer it when people are into the inspection asking me a bunch of questions. Therefore, at the end of the inspection the potential homebuyer knows EXACTLY when they are looking at. See, I told you home inspections were fun! Thanks again Tareq, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

    Home Inspection

    Brent was great, he was very thorough and took the time to explain all of his findings. Brent's thoroughness revealed a water leak which lead to mold in the basement( he found the mold by moving some "suspicous" boxes). Along with a few other things he found, we decided not to buy the home. The search goes on, we will hire Brent again. Thanks Mike

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much Mike for taking the time to leave a review! I really appreciate it. Yes, the old "put some storage in front of the leak and the inspector won’t see it" trick is a very common thing for people to do. I always love it when the homeowner comes running down to see it and says, "They never knew it was there" ... no, no I'm sure you didn't. Oh well, hopefully all goes well with the next one. Thanks again Mike, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!
