Brent was prompt in answering my calls and scheduling an appointment was extremely easy. He arrived on time and first did an inspection of the exterior of the house starting from the front and then to the rear. He also propped up a ladder and inspected the roof (from the rear of the house). Once the exterior was done, the garage was looked over and then we proceeded into the basement where Brent inspected the cold storage, furnace etc. The main level was then inspected where the fireplace was turned on, the AC etc. Lastly the second level was inspected where Brent inspected the attic for a good 5 to 10 minutes. The entire inspection lasted around two and a half hours.
Overall, this being my first home buying experience I did not know what to expect with regards to the home inspection. That said Brent did an excellent job of explaining everything about the house, showed me how to change filters, what settings to keep various elements of the house at and answered all of the questions I prepared for him in advance.
Thankfully, there was only 1 issue with the house where a 30 amp fuse was used with 20 amp wiring which Brent was quick to spot which definitely needed to be fixed. He also offered to come back when I moved in to check that the wiring was done correctly. In addition, Brent also recommended that I remove the trees that were currently planted in the backyard.
I found Brent very open and willing to answer any questions I asked him. He encouraged me to call him even after I move in if I have any questions at the time. A binder containing all aspects of the home inspection was provided to me immediately after the inspection concluded. Based on my experience with Brent, I will definitely employ his services again when I buy my next home. Thanks for your time and help Brent!
p.s. Brent, I apologize for the delay in posting this review

Wowee ! Thank you so much for leaving that review Keith! I am glad that you were happy with the inspection. People are notorious for doing things around the electrical panel which can cause big time problems...having an incorrect breaker on incorrect gauge wire would certainly be one of them. Easy enough to fix, but certainly something you don't want. Always please feel free to contact me if you ever have question about the home or the report itself. Thanks again Keith, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!
