Glenn Helder performs thorough inspection over the house we are interested in buying and produces his inspection report in the same day. He also provides superb custom service and answers all our questions about his report. We recommend him to all first-time home buyers without reservations.

Glenn was professional and highly detailed. His work was thorough and his willingness to answer questions along the way was admirable. He took hundreds of pictures and whittled them down to a select group of very telling photos that clearly demonstrated the issues in our path. Glenn is definitely on my list of trusted pros for the next time I need help and I would highly recommend him to my friends and family.

Glenn arrived early. He did a very thorough job on the home we are considering. The inspection took close to three hours. Glenn uncovered a number of things that needed repairs. Some of the things he found were potentially harmful. Glenn did the job and was able to send us the finished report the same day.

I should not have hired him = that was my mistake. He refused to check the appliances other than the heat and the A/C in the home. He said that it was irrelevant as from the time of the inspection to the day of the walk through many things can go wrong with an appliance. So I went along with this nonsense. I hired him for an additional $75 for the final walk through and we noticed that the front left burner of the stove top was broken. Also noticed that the sink had a gash in the front of it which he did not notice at the inspection. He said he did not document the cosmetic view of appliances. The sink is not an appliance and he did not even notice a gash in the front. At the closing the sellers refused to take a nickel off of anything. They said we should have noted the defective stove burner and the sink gash before the closing. Overall I would say that Glenn's inspection report was mediocre at best. By not even inspecting the stove, he missed the broken burner which I should have been compensated for and the sink gash also. After the fact, I was told it is imperative to check the appliances at a home inspection and he did not do this. He was supposed to be my 2nd set of eyes and he failed.
Description of Work: Glenn did a home inspection on a one level unit in Mt. Sinai.

Hi [Member Name Removed], I'm sorry to hear that. Normally sellers are responsible for delivering the appliances in working order at the final walk through or compensate you for defective items. Please call me and I will have the stove repaired for you. Best regards, Glenn Helder

The home inspection Mr. Helder conducted was very, very impressive. He was, punctual, professional, knowledgeable, and extremely through. I enjoyed watching him work; there was no crease or crevice that didn't a third-degree inspection. Two BIG thumbs up!

We needed an inspection on the property before we could continue with the contract and there was a limited amount of time to assure the sellers wouldn't take other buyers.Glenn was able to reschedule an appointment to accommodate us the next day. He was punctual, professional and polite. He seemed very knowledgeable in the area of home inspections. He was able to complete his tasks while explaining his process through out the detailed walk through of the home. He was also able to patiently answer all questions putting us (first time home buyers) at ease.
