He has done two inspections for us before this over the last few years. In all cases, Josh was highly professional and provided a high quality inspection and gave us good advice to anticipate potential problems. We will definitely use Josh in the future.

Josh showed up on time to inspect a condo we had under contract. He was very thorough and gave detailed information about the problems and what the repair costs would be. When he inspected one of the ceilings, he discovered the entire ceiling was wet even though there was only one area where water leakage was visible. Because he said that the whole ceiling would have to come down because of moisture and mold, we decided to cancel our contract. His knowledge saved us from a very costly mistake.

We used Hellstrom Home Inspection at the recommendation of our realtor. We didn't shop around, which is why I can't comment on the fairness of the pricing, but whether the price is fair or not, Josh is worth every penny. The whole process was very smooth and even enjoyable. Josh is prompt, professional and personable; he explained everything he found and was willing to take time to explain it twice if needed! My husband is so skeptical when it comes to dealing with professionals. It's almost embarrassing how he assumes that everyone is out to lie to him, but Josh won my husband over with his expertise and trustworthiness. If we ever need another inspection, we will definitely go with Josh.
Description of Work: Josh came out and inspected a home we made an offer on. He thoroughly inspected the appliances, the attic, the water fixtures, the interior and exterior walls, the roof, and the shed in the back yard. Josh also carefully explained his findings and helped us understand the potential risks associated with the issues he found.

Josh is very professional and provides a detailed inspection report complete with high quality photographs. I can't imagine how anyone could do a better job than Josh did.
Description of Work: We had Josh Helstrom perform a home inspection on two houses we contracted to buy. He found things in one home that caused us to cancel the contract on the house. He did a second inspection and the house 'passed' with flying colors. Josh is thorough, detailed, low-key, and easy to work with.

Josh arrived on time and was very professional. Most importantly, he was VERY thorough in his inspection and provided a detailed report. He was available by phone for any questions, which was appreciated.

We found Hellstrom Home Inspection through a web search and called Josh, along with several other home inspectors with a list of questions prior to hiring a home inspector. Josh was the only inspector who called us right back that same day. He answered all of our questions, educating us along the way, which is important to us. We like working with folks who are willing to help us learn more and share their expertise and thus, we chose Hellstrom Home Inspection over the other companies. Glad we did. Josh did a thorough inspection and made sure to pull me aside to give tips and advice along the way. Having used a different home inspector team who did not do this, I was appreciative. Josh's report was comprehensive and easy to read, again giving us valuable information and ideas of where to save, where to spend and didn't simply point us in the direction of hiring a general contractor (another annoying feature of the inspector duo we had hired). As we shopped for home insurance, Josh offered a wind mitigation report and 4 point inspection, all part of the same price, which is a huge savings. Having both of these reports saved us on our home insurance and are not always part of the inspection package, so we very much appreciated that service. Finally, Josh gave us some leads on contractors for electrical and plumbing and we've been equally thrilled with their service and this was an incredible help to us being new to the Gainesville area and not knowing who to trust or where to even start. Will be recommending Hellstrom Home Inspection and hiring Hellstrom Home Inspection for our future home purchases.

Overall, I found my correspondence with Josh Hellstrom to be professional and curteous.
Description of Work: I did not get my home inspection from Josh Hellstrom because he was already booked full through the date I needed my inspection done by, however I wanted to give him a review because of his outstanding correspondence. Mr. Hellstrom seems to update his voicemail message frequently because I called twice in one day and the message had changed. The reason for this is that he says in his voicemail message what his current availability is, and I found this very helpful. Mr. Hellstrom did call me back the same day and left a voicemail on my phone since I was in an appointment. His message was professinal and he even referred me to other home inspectors he trusted since my deadline was most likely too soon for him to be able to work for me.

Josh was prompt, friendly and very very thorough. He spend close to 3 hours going over every inch of the house including the attic. He even suited up and crawled around under the house too! We were very pleased with the experience, Josh was very good about talking through what he was doing why he was working which also was appreciated.
Description of Work: Home Inspection when buying a new (old) house. Josh didn't pass the house the first time and pointed our Realtor out some issues that needed repaired first. We appreciated his honesty even though he had been referred by his friend, our realtor.

This represents the only time I have ever hired a home inspector, but the bottom line is that I would definitely hire Josh again if i buy again in the Alachua Co. area. Go to his website. It provides a very accurate description of what kind of service you are buying. The example report that Josh provides on his website is very similar in format and level of detail to the report that was provided for my house.
Description of Work: Josh (Hellstrom Home Inspections) performed a general home inspection on a house that I am in the process of buying. The inspection was very thorough - never rushed. All major components of the house were examined and tested just as described on his website. I was provided with the inspection report the morning following the inspection. The report (pdf file, my request) was constructed in a narrative style and highlighted all findings of the inspection. The report was equally as thorough as the inspection, and he used lots of photos to illustrate points of interest or concern.

I also received Josh's name as a recommendation from a friend who had utilized his services in the past. I was not disappointed! He was prompt, *incredibly* thorough, and very knowledgable about all aspects of the inspection. I was especially impressed that he was familiar with older homes and could provide an easy to understand analysis of what I was getting into. Even the seller commented that he was the best inspector that they had ever worked with and would also use him for their future needs!

Contacted Hellstrom Home Inspection based on a recommendation from a friend who is a former home inspector. Josh was courteous and professional. He had several questions about the type of home and situation even before we got started. He arrived promptly, found several issues that could potentially have turned into large costs on our part later. He walked us through several suggestions and even through the operation of some components of the new home. Afterward, he delivered the report to us and the real estate agents promptly. We're very happy with the service he provided.
