Home inspection on 100+ year home
We had contacted Brent about a home inspection back in December 2010 on a home we had placed an offer on. Based on the thorough job that he had done and the recommendations he made, we decided not to purchase the home. So when another home came up, we called up Brent again and he happily came to do the inspection. Brent is very thorough, honest, reliable and likes to help you understand what is he looking for and how any issues will impact you as a home owner. In this particular house, it was noticed that there was leakage in the basement, some home inspectors may have left it at that, but Brent was not happy until he found the cause and solution to the problem. He went inside and outside, trying to find the culprit until he finally figured out what the cause of the leaking was. Had he not done this and found it was an easy fix, we may have reconsidered the purchase of the house, not knowing the cost and implications of the repair. I am very happy with his service and would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to give you a complete and comprehensive home inspection.

Thank you so much Jennifer! It was great that you were able to find a nice home! I am sure you both will be quite happy with your purchase. I don't know how anyone could not like that home. A true gem! It's funny that you would notice something like the fact that I went back outside to find out why there are leaks getting into the basement. I could not have left that inspection by simply telling you that the basement is leaking, therefore just deal with it. My fear is that you call up the wet basement people who will only give you some ridiculous quote to fix the problem. In some cases yes, it is required. However, in so many cases it is a simple fix! Always please feel free to contact me Jennifer if you ever have questions regarding the home. Thanks again and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!
