Martin is, with a doubt, the gold standard of home inspectors…read more As first time home buyers, my husband and I weren't sure what to expect when showing up to our first home inspection but upon meeting Martin, we knew we were in good hands. He arrived on time, explained his inspection process and let us know that if we had any questions, no matter how small, that he would be more than happy to answer them. He was charismatic in a way that felt like we were catching up with a long time, trusted friend and presented himself with an assuredness that instantly calmed our anxieties about the process. Most importantly, he showed a genuine enthusiasm about inspecting our potential home that can only come from someone who really loves and takes pride in what they do. He was meticulous in looking over every aspect of the house and called attention to issues he thought were important for us to know during the inspection so that there weren't't any surprises at the end. Explanations always included what the issue was, why he thought it needed to be fixed or how it could be a problem in the future. Aspects of the home that were technically safe and appropriate for when the house was built but not up to modern building code were also brought to our attention. Despite having to point out the issues, Martin was also thrilled to show us unique aspects of the home or share what he thought were positives about the property. At certain points, it felt like he was more excited about the property than we were! After the inspection, we felt confident that we knew the condition of the home, what issues would need to be addressed further and educated about the general maintenance we should expect to do as new homeowners. We received the inspection report within 24 hours and as Martin promised, there wasn't anything in it that felt like a surprise to us or that hadn't already been discussed. It was well organized, extremely detailed and a great reference to show other contractors exactly what issues we would like to have checked out further. He was available if we had questions or needed an experienced eye to review a concern we were having about other reports. Overall, Martin was an essential part of our home buying process and a key factor in helping us make the right decision. He was a knowledgeable and insightful guide that we felt was always looking out for our best interest. We trusted that when we asked him "should we run?" at the end of our inspection, he giving us his honest answer and that type of integrity is why Martin will be our first call if we ever buy a new home in the future.

Dylan Linnencamp of Harper Homes did a home inspection on two homes for me. At first I was a…read morelittle worried that Dylan may not be as good as other inspectors, because he's younger, but he quickly alleviated my worries by telling me about his 10+ years experience in the construction industry, and mentoring under another home inspector for close to 2 years. Dylan is very well spoken, and is able to speak very clearly about any worries you may have. For both homes he was VERY thorough. The first home I decided not to purchase, because his inspection brought to light some problems with the home that were going to be too expensive for me. The second home, which I'm currently in the process of purchasing, he also inspected. After his inspection, I received information from an outside source that caused me to worry about water intrusion in one area of the home. Dylan went back to the property again to take another look in the area that I was concerned about, at no extra charge! Not many people would do that these days! Then, on top of that, that evening he sent over some research he had done online about the issue and my legal protections if there happens to be problems in the future. Of course, he stated that he is not a legal professional and that if I wanted to be sure, I should contact a lawyer for more information. He truly went above and beyond for both homes, and I would highly recommend him! My realtor, Erik Berg-Johansen told me that he has already hired Dylan for another home inspection, and that he is very impressed with his work and professionalism. If you need a home inspector, do not hesitate to hire Dylan Linnencamp at Harper Homes!

The previous buyer fell through and the Real Estate agent claimed it was due to not being able to get the funding. During that process, the home inspection report performed by Taylor from the previous attempted buyer was shared with us. Their detailed report gave us the much needed insight into realizing how much work this home actually needed. The real estate agent tried down playing it and claimed the report was overly critical. Given the extent of the needed repairs, we were able to make the decision to avoid overpaying for a money pit. Sad to not get the home, but happy to not be living in a house that would have been constantly under construction to make it safe to live in.

Chris is extremely thorough, provides an excellent written report after the inspection and helped give us a "punch list" of items that we can improve in the years ahead.
