Mr. Helder did a Phenomenal job. The day fell on a heavy down pour of rain, but that didn’t stop his duties. He explained what he was seeing, took so many pictures. He was thorough , detailed and upfront. Friendly as well. I would recommend him 100 times over. His knowledge has assisted me to make an informed purchasing decision. Look at his credentials and experience, he’s reliable and affordable. I’d recommend someone like Mr. Helder

Things went very well. Glenn is very professional and his report is excellent giving us the details we need to understand the condition of the condo. Having pictures along with descriptions is fantastic. Glenn kept us informed and his report was ready the same day. I would definitely use Glenn again and recommend him highly to anyone needing a condo / home inspection.

I was looking for a home inspector and I found Glenn. He was well spoken and a true professional. Glenn was early and prompt for the appointment. He was very thorough and inspected every inch of the property. As I followed him, Glenn gave me all the information that I needed to make a sound decision. He answered any questions and gave valuable advice. Glenn was clear and precise and takes his job seriously. He emailed the report that very day, with explicit details. He is a all around good person. I would highly recommend him.

I would highly recommend Glen. He was reasonably priced and he went out of his way to make sure I was satisfied.. He produced a report with pictures and detailed description of everything that was wrong with the house. He told me I can call him with any questions and he genuinely had my best interest in mind.. I would recommend him to anyone interested in purchasing a home.

Glenn was able to schedule on short notice at a time that worked for all necessary people to be present. Glenn's inspection was thorough and he was happy to have me walk through with him and ask lots of questions. His report was detailed with pictures for any notes or issues found. His pricing was very reasonable for the amount of time spent, close to 4 hours. Glenn did perform a termite inspection as well, but he is not licensed to produce the NPMA 33 termite inspection report that was required by my bank. The termite inspector did not find anything that Glenn did not, but it was an additional expense. I would not hesitate to use Glenn for future home inspections.

We engaged Mr. Heller's services to do a pre-sale inspection based on the experiences of friends who put their homes on the market, then got buyers who had their homes inspected only to find themselves scrambling to do repairs to complete the sales. We chose Mr. Heller based on reviews on Angie's List. We called to make an appointment and he showed up on time and inspected the house thoroughly. He took the time to explain in detail as he was going through the inspection and was very responsive to our questions. Later that day he submitted a comprehensive report by email. The report includes photos, ratings of areas and items inspected, as well as descriptions of all the recommended repairs or replacement. Mr. Heller was personable and professional and we highly recommend him.

Better than anticipated. I hired Glenn because of Angie’s List and am beyond happy. He was prompt, courteous, responsive, and thorough. He explained everything and offered me to contact him with any questions even after we are in the house. Thank you for making this a stress free process. Report was provided same day also! Definitely would recommend Glenn to everyone.

I would recommend Glenn in a heartbeat. We hired Glenn to perform a home inspection. He took the time to explain in detail as he was going through the inspection any issues that popped up. He also gave good suggestions as to how to addresss or prevent such issues in the future. Glenn spent went over the allocated hours of service to try and ensure his inspection was complete.

Although we couldn’t get to the appointment to see Glenn in action, our real estate agent was very pleased with his promptness and thoroughness. I received a call after the inspection with a summary of issues and concerns identified. Several hours later I received the full report in an email. It was thorough, complete and accurate. I was very pleased with picking Glenn and woukd recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: Needed a home inspection performed immediately after putting an offer in our first home. The seller already accepted another bid but if we showed we can move quick, they would accept pier offer. Glenn certainly came through at such a short moments notice. I called him Saturday afternoon and he was able to complete the inspection and report on the following Monday!

Excellent all-around. We appreciated how thorough and thoughtful Glenn was in the home inspection. He explained everything as we went through the house, and helped distinguish what was most critical to fix, as well as potential issues to keep an eye on. The final report was very detailed, with pictures to document each issue. Great experience.

I needed to get a home inspection done in a short time frame and on the weekend. Glen Helder was cooperative, friendly and professional from start to finish. First of all, he was very flexible with his time as my appointment was ‘fluid’ . Glen came on short notice on a Sunday evening, and I could not have been happier with his work and the results. In addition to the thorough inspection that he walked me through step by step, he took a lot of time to ‘educate’ me in matters with which I was not familiar ( wiring, infrastructure, etc ). I highly recommend Glen Helder for a home inspection
