Classic Home Inspections Inc.

A super nice home for a super nice family! That was a textbook home inspection on a (almost) 100 year old home. A very solid home with some issues to be addressed. However, no big surprises, (well there was, but in a positive way). I think you should be quite happy once you've settled in. I had no idea what candor even meant, but after looking it up, I'm glad you were happy. My job is to be honest and to use common sense. I'm glad that I was of help. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

Congradulations on your new home. You should be quite happy with you purchase. Like many areas throughout the GTA, the "Beach" is a fun area to inspect. Many of the homes have a certain uniqueness to them. Some new home owners may find this "uniquneness" translating to "aggravation". In your case, the home had a solid foundation, had been well maintained, and had many upgrades. That was a great home to inspect, and yes, please call me and I will come back and take a closer look at that plumbing issue in the basement once you've moved in. Thanks again Steve for choosing Classic Home Inspections.

Congradulations on your new home! That was a gem to inspect. A typical home built in the 1920's loaded with character. Yes, there were a few issues to be addressed, but a very nice first home to move into. You should be quite happy. It's funny, after speaking with your realtor she had informed other home inspection companies do not supply written reports or if they do, they are a few pages in a leaflet. I find that ridiculous. I certainly do not want to supply you with a 25lb binder filled with useless information, but the report I give you goes through each and every component of the home as well additional useful information. All of the feedback regarding the report has been positive. People find it easy to read and useful. It's nice to know that you do to. As I tell everyone, always feel free to call me anytime if you have any quetions or concerns regarding your home. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections Meighan !

I'm glad you came across Homestars and found it to be of help when you were choosing an inspector. You and your husband should be quite happy with your purchase. That home had been well built and well maintained. I certainly don't expect a five year old home to be falling down, it's what people manage to do the homes while living there. Thanks again for the feedback and congratulations.

Your proactive thinking was probably a wise decision. Given the fact that an older home three feet from yours will be demolished and a monster home will be put up in place could very well be a reason for concern. The exterior of your 75 + year old home was in fantastic shape, and let's hope it's that way when I come back to look at it. Thank you Alexa for the feedback, and for choosing Classic Home Inspections. See you soon!

As well, congratulations to both of you on your new home. Your home, a typical 100++ year old home in downtown Toronto, absolutely loaded with character, was a pleasure to do. Sometimes the older homes have a few quirks to them, but hey, they've got a lot of history behind them. Bear in mind also that these homes were built to last, and your house was certainly one of them. Very well built and a solid foundation. Also, like I tell everyone who uses Classic Home Inspections, if you have a question regarding anything on your home this week, next month, or in five years from now, don't hesitate to pick up the phone and call me. I would be more than happy to answer your questions/ concerns. Thanks again for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

The Annex is one of Toronto's great places to do a home inspection. These fantastic homes will put a home inspector to the test. It sorts out the knowledgeable, experienced home inspectors, from those who think they are. Given the history of the Annex, and vast array of homes, I always love inspecting in this area of Toronto. As for Classic Home Inspections reporting system, we go through each and every house with fine detail. In other words, we go through the property with a fine tooth comb. As for time, I can ballpark an approximate time for the inspection, but given this will probably be the largest purchase you will ever make, we want you to fully understand what you are buying. I cannot necessarily predetermine what that time will be, you may have many questions. I don’t determine how long that I will be there, you do. Thanks Michael for the feedback and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!

As well, the kind words and referrals! Believe me, I do not want to sound like I am attacking new home builders. However there is a reason why much of our business is new home inspections. Most is from people who are buying a new home for the second time. The reason why? They've already been through it. They are well aware of the workmanship of the crews who did a rush job to build the house. It doesn't matter what end of the spectrum the house is in. In this case, a 30 day old gorgeous house in Oakville which had leaks in the basement. Something that should be easily fixed if addressed soon. Otherwise if it’s a wet spring, the pool in the basement they didn't order should be in by early summer. Many an inspection will uncover foundation issues, leakage in various areas, and where corners have been cut. Yes there is a New Home Warranty, but it's only valid if you know what the problems actually are. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections.

A little known fact Gary, 40% of the home inspectors that will open for business this coming year, won't be in business by the end of it. The remaining balance will play at it part- time. Based on what you've just said, I would suspect customer service had something to do with it. As for length of time on a home inspection, I fully respect the fact that people don't want to hang out with a home inspector for long, but Classic Home Inspections goal is to have you understand the property as well as we do. You've hired us, we work for you, it's you're money buying the property, and we are there until you understand everything about it. Sure there is a general time set, but hey, we dedicate that time for you. It's as long as you fully understand the property you are about buy. Thank you for the feedback Gary !

Thank you for the feedback Nephy! Although we cannot quote what a contractor will charge you, we can assist you what work should be done. (note to reader: see "Sherri in Swansea" in a previous review). Nephy had purchased a house a while back and did not get a home inspection done. She has had problems with the house, having to bring in contractors to repair and re-repair ongoing issues with the house. In this case Nephy had two unrelated moisture problems in the basement. The first, she thought was a large problem, turned out to be a simple inexpensive fix. The second, would require a contractor to come in. Classic Home Inspections informed Nephy on the source of the problems and the work to be involved for repair. Thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections Nephy.
