Inspection of our new home

We had looked at other home inspectors including the big name Inspection companies, but couldn't help thinking that someone with this many great reviews must be doing something right.

Brent is everything we expected. He arrived right on time and was thorough in his inspection of our home confirming and pointing out the key issues that should have been addresed by our contractor long ago and unearthing a few extra issues we had not thought of.

Anyone who has gone through the process of having a home custom built should definitely consider an inspection by Brent prior to moving in and definitely before final payment.

He is curteous, intelligent and very knowledgable on the building code and issues facing home owners. Brent took the time to diligently inspect our house inside and out and from basement to roof (even though it was pouring with rain).

He has also been available to answer additional follow up questions as required.

Many thanks Brent

Thank you so much for the review and kind words !!! I'm glad that I was of help and met your expectations. I tell people, I'm not leaving until you are completely satisfied and of total understanding about the home. That is my job. Custom built homes are interesting, you would think, with the cost and the fact that it is "custom", that it would be problem free. At least that's what I would think. Not necessarily so. Not even close in some cases. Overall, I don't think yours was that bad, but no question about it, a bit sloppy in some areas. Not what you would expect. On a seperate note, did you not find it a little odd that your homebuilder didn't know very basic information about the home when you asked simple questions? I sure did. Anyways, thank you so much again for the review and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!! (Hopefully we'll see you "on deck")

Home Inspection

I had not bought a house in 20+ years and this is my wife Nicky's first experience so this crucial step was very seriously pondered upon when our real estate agent mentioned she knew of someone and to let her take care of it. As it turns out,this was one of the most pleasant experiences so far in the usually very stressful arena of buying a home. Brent was very thorough,articulate and understanding of our level of knowledge with the entire process and potential issues with the property. His final report was presented with clarity, we were explained each section and were asked if we had any questions or concerns. I would and will recommend Mr.Jeffreys to everyone that wants professional and courteous home inspection services! Thank you.

P.S.
The cost was not $2000 but the system would not let me post the comment without a cost field populated. I choose to keep the fee private.

Thank you so much for the review and kind words Nicky and Mike!!! A gem that home was! I always love it when people are as enthusiastic as you were! As I have stated before in some of my responses, I love to hear other people’s stories about homes that have owned before. I will actually learn a thing or two! Hey, you can never learn enough. It's always great telling them what the problem most likely was and to tell them how simple the problem may have been to remedied. Thanks again Nicky and Mike, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!

home inspection

We bought this house that according to the owner was just newly renovated. We loved the house so much that we agreed not to get inspection prior to purchasing. I looked at homestar.ca to see who I could find for home inspection and I saw that Home Classic Inspections had a lot of great reviews. So I decided to call Brent. I was not disappointed. Brent made us at ease that the house is in good condition. Just needed minor things but not urgent. Now, we felt better that the house was really in good condition as we were told.

I would definitely recommend Brent to anyone looking for their home to get inspected. He was on time, answered our questions, and friendly.

Thanks again, Brent.

Thank you so much for the review Josh !!! It is much appreciated!!! I always love inspecting homes that have just been "recently renovated", or at least that's how they are being sold. I have seen some great work done, and some not so great. What I think really amazes me is when they spare no expense on the materials themselves, but shortcut on things that are inexpensive to begin with. Which in turn, causes grief. Sometimes I wonder with the renovations if it is just a little "lipstick" ( as we like to call it ), ot has the job been done properly. Always makes for an interesting inspection. Thanks again Josh, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!

Home Inspection

We found Brent on homestars and decided to call him for the home inspection of a new house. Brent is simply just great. Brent was friendly, courteous and punctual since the first phone call. He answered all our questions in detail without any rushing. He gave us advices and tips. He made notes for us and took lot of pictures. We are very happy with him and it was a pleasure to discuss and spend time with him and would highly recommend him for anyone in need of a home inspector. Thank you so much Brent

Thank you so much for the review Asim !!! It is much appreciated! Fortunetely, there wasn't much wrong with the home. Not the case with every new home though. However, it's always nice to tell people that it's minimum. It's just amazing what the problems can be with new homes. Sometimes it's VERY questionable as to how things "passed" inspection from people with authority. Sometimes I wonder if they even bothered to get out their car to look. Anyways, not the case with you. Thanks again, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!

Home Inspection

Brent showed up to do our home inspection on short notice. He finished the inspection on time and he spent a lot of time explaining all the findings to us. His inspection report was very detailed and easy to understand.
Overall a very positive experience!

Thank you so much for the review Drago ! Wow, what a Mt Pleasant beauty! At, least I thought so. Hopefully all went well with that one. Isn't it amazing that some electricians will replace some of the knob and tube wiring, but not all of it. I have no idea why. People paid to have the wiring updated. Then I come in an tell you there's still a bunch of it still present within the home. It always seems to throw a wrench into the mix. There's so many honest tradespeople out there doing a great job, yet there is still so many questionable ones who don't seem to care. Oh well, it can be replaced. Thanks again for the review Drago, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!

home inspection for new condo

We had Brent come in and do our PDI and 30 day report for our new condo last month. He was very professional right from the get go from the first time we spoke on the phone, all the way to the end of his service. He was very thorough and found 25 issues with our place.. some were small but I probably would've overlooked them and some were more concerning and he spent more time trying to figure out what the builders did. I recommended him to two other friends in the same building and he gave us a group rate if we had our appointments on the same day in a row. He was very patient and answered all of our questions. My friends and I were happy with his service that more people in our complex who are moving in soon have decided to use his services as well... I assure you you will not be disappointed. I will use his services again if I ever move again!

Thank you so much for the review A&A in Leslieville! It is much appreciated! You know, 25 issues actually isn't even that much! I actually thought those were fairly well built and had minimal issues. Heck, in some of the new homes in surrounding areas of Toronto, problems?, wow, lots of them. I've done multimillion dollars homes, that if I was to tell you the problems they had, you would think I was lying! ...and they were "custom built". Honestly, yes, a few problems with your home, but you should be quite happy overall. Thanks again A&A, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection

When we met Brent at the house, he said he “will dissect it” and that’s exactly what he did. He checked absolutely everywhere, including the roof, even though it was raining. He pointed to all the issues he found and gave us helpful hints on how to resolve them.

Brent also showed he has a good sense of humor and was a pleasure to work with!

It certainly makes the inspection a lot more interesting and entertaining for the both of us ! I love when people such as yourself shadows me, and asks many questions. It's nice to see that people take such interest in the home they are about to purchase! I am glad that you are happy with the inspection. Thanks again, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Home Inspection

Brent was thorough and informative. I felt confidant that I could make an educated decision about my first home purchase after Brent had finished. He takes the time to explain everything. He clearly takes pride in his work and it shows. Worth every penny.

Thank you so much for the review JLS !!! I really appreciate it! I'm glad that I was able to help with the big decision that you had to make. It's certainly a big one! Yes we found mold in the basement, but the key is, why is it there. With you going through the inspection with me, hopefully you now have a better understanding as to why. That is why it is also key why people attend the home inspection!!! Thanks again, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!

Older home inspection

Buying an older home is a bit scary. Brent arrived on time and spent the next four hours thoroughly inspecting the house both interior and exterior, over and under the roof. He explained everthing to me and I now have a better understanding of how to maintain the property. He had a balance approach to inspecting the home; i.e. he pointed out the defects and recommended solutions, and also pointed out the positive features of the property. I was very reassured and impressed, and I've already recommended Brent to others.

Thank you so much for the review Pina !!! It is much appreciated ! Pina, let's establish this. Older homes are not as scary as newer ones! As a matter of fact, the older the better. Well, not in all cases, but certainly in many. Yes Pina, I do try an "educate" a person about the home. A person needs to know more about the home than just a bunch of problems. It's also the prevention of problems which are key. Thanks again Pina, I am glad that you were happy with the inspection. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!!!
