pre-purchase home inspection

I had reviewed classic home inspections earlier and had rated it very highly, but it later turned out that very important things had been missed that were in plain sight.
Good: Brent was a great guy and had spotted a few things that were helpful to us. He was realistic with his estimates on renovation costs etc and spent a fair bit of time looking at the property.
Bad: Brent failed to spot the fact that the addition built on our house did not have footings and that the entire deck was not secured properly. These were both in plain sight and should have been caught easily by a home inspector. We only found out once we had contactors come in for unrelated renos. Right now the city considers the structures unsafe and we have to replace both items at a very high cost.
I would not recommend this company based on my experience.

pre-purchase home inspection

We were very impressed with Brent and his very thorough 3-hour home inspection. He explained things in a very easy to understand manner and was very patient in answering all our questions.

I work in the design industry myself and hate when realtors, inspectors, trades, etc under estimate renovation costs just to sell you a house. But I found Brent to be spot on with his estimates for potential renovations/ upgrades. This was very helpful in the final negotiations for the property we purchased.

We would definitely hire/ recommend Brent again for any home inspections. His fee was extremely reasonable for the amount of time he spent on the site.
