Harmon Home Inspections is locally owned and operated. We service Sacramento and the Bay Area. We use National Association of Certified Home Inspector standards while providing digital E-reports. We use infrared technology on every inspection at no additional charge. Infrared is non-intrusive and allows us to see behind walls to find plumbing leaks, roof leaks, missing insulation, electrical hot spots and more. Harmon Home Inspections uses the state-of-the-art Home Gauge computer system which allows us to include color digital photos of your house in your inspection report. Harmon Home Inspection's E-Reports are available to our Clients and their Realtor within one business day of the inspection. Your inspection report is available to you 24/7 and can be printed and viewed as many times as necessary. All reports are password protected so that you can control access to your report. A Harmon Home Inspection is an excellent tool for you, the home buyer, to help determine not only the condition of the home, but to help foresee any immediate, unnecessary additional repairs that may go unnoticed without the help of a home inspection. Home inspections are not necessarily a prediction of future performance, but can point out existing problem areas and make "Improvement Recommendations." An inspection typically takes about 2 to 3 hours in most cases, which also includes answering your questions on site. The times may vary depending on the size, age, and the condition of the home. Harmon Home Inspections recommends and welcomes you to be present during the inspection, we will answer questions during the inspection as well as explain all of our findings to you and your Realtor at the end. Harmon Home Inspections performs home inspections 7-days a week. We also provide short-notice-inspections at no additional charge.
Amazing. We had our realtor set up the inspection. Rob was incredibly thorough and explained everything in a way that I was able to understand (as someone with -3 experience in how a house is built, this was so useful.) We were able to take all of his notes and explanations and with the help of our realtor, our request for repairs received 0 push back because we were able to substantiate the requests with the information given to us by Rob. He was incredibly friendly.

We've decided to move to a different home in our neighborhood and saw good reviews of Harmon Home Inspection. Mr. Harmon scheduled us within one week of calling him and he arrived several minutes before the appointment time. He was very thorough on all areas he could inspect (did not climb onto the roof, but took detailed drone shots and noted some cracked tiles and other areas for which we had a roofing contractor advise us). He used special imaging equipment to verify all the heating and cooling ducts were working, tested all the installed appliances, evaluated the heating and A/C units, opened up the electrical panel and inspected its wiring, tested all of the visible plumbing, and tested all windows / doors. After his inspection, he spent 20-30 minutes w/ us discussing his findings and pointing out some issues. His report came to us 2 days after the inspection (emailed on a Sunday afternoon!) and was very thorough and divided into specific categories (plumbing, electrical, etc.) w/ many photos which detailed his findings by red circles around the items of concern. His electronic report also included a few brief videos w/ commentary. I had emailed him a question about one of the findings on a Sunday evening and he responded by 6:30 am Monday morning. This man's service is excellent, detailed, and well worth the money to provide us w/ peace of mind as well as points to discuss w/ the seller of our new home.

Robert was fantastic. We've had many home inspections and his was by far the most detailed. He explained everything he was looking at and gave his advice as to wether or not it was a real problem or just minor. On the house we sold, we wanted to be prepared. For a small fee, he took the buyers of our home through the inspection. They were very happy. Our real estate agent was so impressed she was going to use him again on future listings. Sorry this took so long to post, we've been swamped and I haven't been on Angie's List in a while.

Our appointment went well, he was very nice and responsive. We needed our roof inspected in particular and he said he was not able to access it and that we would need to pay for another appointment specifically to have the roof looked at because the access point was not enough for him to look. The homeowner informed us that he should have been able to get enough information from the entry that was there. I don't know how to evaluate whether or not more effort could have been put into inspecting the roof with the resources provided.

We needed to determine where a water leak was coming from. Harmon not only determined the source of the leak. He took the time to inspect under our house and in the attic. He found some minor issues our contractor had missed.

Really amazing work. Extremely thorough inspection, he found quite a lot of things that any lesser inspector would have missed, and we talked the seller into fixing many of them before we bought the house. He flew a drone over the house to look at the roof, and went underground into the crawlspace, took photos of everything, and even used infrared to verify the heating and cooling was working. I was really amazed at how detailed the report we got was.

The whole process went very well, good communication and expectation setting, had the report the next day. The report itself was very comprehensive including photographs including taken from a drone! That really allowed him to get great pictures of the roof and other hard to reach areas, even the attic.

Harmon is phenomenal. I've had a lot of home inspections done and this guy is the best. He found problems that the pest control inspector missed during an inspection just a few days earlier. Harmon also found a water stain on the underside of the roof in the attic. The roof inspector only looked at the outside of the roof, I sent the report to the roof inspector which has images of the stains. Because of the home inspection, the roof inspector is returning to the property to make certain they did not miss anything. The inspection was well worth the expense.

Mr Harmon was early for our appointment and completed the whole house inspection in a couple of hours. He went over all his findings with me and pointed them out to me so I knew the problems to point out to any contractor that I contacted. He used a drone to inspect the roof and provided photos in the inspection report of all areas inspected. I will definitely use his service again.

Excellent - Easy to schedule appointment, punctual and results provide ability to prioritize projects. Would recommend to anyone not quite sure where to start or where to spend money for home maintenance. I was only looking at the cosmetic things in my home and decided I wanted to know if there were any major concerns that should be addressed first, this inspection provided the information I needed.

Robert came on-time and started the home inspection. He indicated right away some major concerns with the home and the soil around the property. In about 30min, he had an exhaustive list of issues that need to be addressed: ciment slabs of the garage moved, major movement in the soil causing crack on the chimney and on the ciment all around the house, electrical box that should be replaced, old furnace that would have to be replaced soon, electrical problems, etc... Robert walked with me in the street and showed me the soil stability issue for few houses (the one I was looking at was by far the worst). Based on the initial feedback, I decided to walk away from buying the house and let Robert know I do not need him to complete a full inspection. I cannot be more grateful for Robert to quickly identify major issues. If you need a home inspection, he is definitely the person I would recommend.
