Classic Home Inspections Inc. reviews (710)

Thank you so much for the feedback Paul and Sheila!!! It is much appreciated ! I see these reviews that people leave (such as yourself) and I view it like when a person goes into his/her bosses office to get the quarterly review on their proformance. Ultimately when people hire me, I am working for them, and I need to know what they think. I would think you would want to know every little detail regarding the home. When possible, I try and give people economical ways to repair/ replace things. It's not always possible, but in many cases it is. It means a lot to me when people take the time to write a review. I'm glad that you are happy with the inspection. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections !!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback. It is much appreciated! After reading this review, I wasn't even sure how to respond. I remember your father. he was a true gentleman. Then I thought to myself how fast time truely passes us by. It really didn't seem that long ago when I had done that inspection. My sympathy goes to you and your family. I'm glad that you were happy with the inspection. Please, always feel free to contact me if you ever have a question regarding your home. Take care for now and thank you for the kind words...Brent.

Thank you for the feedback Jerry ! It is much appreciated. Jerry, the bottom line is this, you hire me, I work for you. Very simple. I would think that with the cost of houses these days, one would want to know every little detail about the home. Let's face it, you not sending me in to go look at some carrots and celery here. A home is a major, major expense. I wouldn't leave the property until you understood everything. It's your money buying it, not mine. I don't "pass" or "fail" homes, nor do I give them a "rating out of ten". At the end of the inspection it will be you that does this. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections !!!

Thank you for taking the time and leaving feedback Dan ! It is much appreciated ! I personally feel that the report that we use here at Classic Home Inspections is relitivly easy to understand and provides all the necessary information regarding the home. In the past, I have used great big bulkly reports that seem to cause more confusion than anything else. I had more callbacks of people not clear as to what was on the report, and quite frankly, it took me time to figure it out as well. So I changed reports. I have even seen other inspection companies providing a sparce little report one to three pages in length. To be honest, anyone could have filled it in. So, I go with the report that satifies the consumer. I have stuck with it and the feedback has always been positive. As far as pictures go, well I'm taking them anyway, so I always offer them at the end. Plus I figure you've probably got a lot on your mind when buying/ selling/ looking for a home and chances are you won't remember everything that I've said and shown you, so the when going through the report, hopefully the pictures clarify things a little. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections !

Thank you for the feedback Margaret !!! It is much appreciated ! I try and make the inspection process a learning experience. Many home inspectors want you to stay out of their way so they can get the job done and do a quick review at the end. I much prefer the person "shadow" me, asking as many questions as they can come up with. People have lots of questions and I want to answer them. Including how to operate a wood burning fireplace safely ! If it takes a little longer so be it. My goal is simply have you understand the home to its fullest. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections !

Thank you for the feedback Amy !!! As well, the kind words. That's right Amy, there are no dumb questions. Good grief, you're buying a home, ask everything !!! I'm there to answer them. I would sooner you ask me first then to ask someone trying to sell you something. A good home inspector should ask things like will there be young ones, elderly, or about tennants in the basement. Not because we're nosey, but because it's good to get advice or purhaps be weary of certain things when living in the home. As we all know, people can get hurt around the home. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections !

Thank your for the feedback Akunna !!! It is much appreciated ! Akunna, you were smart by doing your homework when opting to go with "your realtors home inspector". It is wise that asked for a list. Not just one particular company that your realtor likes to use. Ensure that your inspector is legit. Are they working for you or the realtor. Remember, many home inspection companies rely heavy on realtors for business. Which makes you wonder exactly what may be going on behind the scenes. I've heard certain realtors tell me they like to use certain inspectors because they're cheap and fast. I say "good luck". I'm not one of them. Yes, I'll admit it, some realtors will promote me a little. They like the way I work and truely want whats best for their client. I've even "killed deals" for them. However, they understand that a fact is a fact, and in the end want a happy client. I'm glad you were happy with the inspection Akunna. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections !!!

Thank you for the feedback Jane and Dave !!! I certainly can't guarantee that I can do inspections on short notice, however, many calls are people, like yourself, who need inspections within the next fews days after calling. It's just part of the nature of the industry. That's why I'm 24/7. You had mentioned "did not do a rush job". Many home inspectors try to "cram" in as many inspections as they can in a day. To all parties involved using them, good luck. Personally, bearing in mind the amount of money being spent on homes these days, I would think a person wants a thorough, informative inspection. I feel it's my duty. I always tell people, experienced home inspectors do not brag home many they get done in a day, bad ones do. My concern is a good thorough inspection, that's it. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections !

Thank you for the feedback !!! As well, the kind words. Well, you are not alone. Many homeowners were not in a position to use a home inspector when purchasing the property. Especially in those high demand areas where there are bidding wars. Unfortunately, many of those homeowners come accross issues that were not known when buying. In some cases, the news isn't great, but, at least now they know, and can address the issue(s). Thanks again, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections !

Thank you for the feedback Madhu !!! It is much appreciated. Why do I promote Homestars? Unlike other directories, you have the luxury of reading true customer feedback regarding a company before calling them in. I personally don't know of any other directory like this. You had mentioned that I gave adivce and "best practices", some people think that an inspectors job is to simply go in and find a bunch of negitive things regarding the property. Good grief, talk about killing a dream home for someone. Although I must present all facts regarding the property, I also like to give all aspects informing you of the home. Good, bad, or somewhere in between. I truely want you to understand everything. If I can offer advice on certain issues, I like to present that as well. Remember, other tradespeople have something to sell, I don't. An inspectors opinion should be unbiased. Thanks again for the feedback, it was great meeting with you, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections !!!
