I HIGHLY recommend Glenn Helder Home Inspection to anyone looking to get an inspection done. We…read morefound Glenn through yelp and saw he had a bunch of positive reviews and decided to work with Glenn to get an inspection done on our first potential home. Glenn is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and was extremely diligent in performing the home inspection as well as breaking things down for me along the way to make sure I understood everything he was telling me. We are very thankful to Glenn who put together a 40+ page detailed home inspection report for us to review. We were extremely happy we went with Glenn and are appreciative of the service he provided!

As someone making the second home purchase of my life, I can honestly say I barely remember the…read moreinspection for my first home--but I won't forget this one. Glenn Helder is a true professional who raises the bar for what a home inspection should be. From the moment he arrived, his thoroughness and calm, pleasant demeanor made me feel confident I was in expert hands. His responsiveness leading up to the inspection and quick turnaround on the final report were also a breath of fresh air during a fast-moving process. But what truly stood out was Glenn's sage and honest advice. He identified major short-term costs that I hadn't initially factored in--costs that would have been financially and emotionally taxing had I gone forward blindly. Thanks to his insight, I was able to walk away from a potentially burdensome purchase. Beyond that, Glenn provided thoughtful recommendations for long-term upgrades and preventative fixes that felt more like guidance from a seasoned contractor than a typical home inspector. His depth of knowledge went well beyond a checklist and truly felt like a partnership. If you're looking for someone who takes pride in his work, communicates clearly, and genuinely cares about his clients' well-being, Glenn is your guy. I'd recommend him a hundred times over.

Once we arrived at the home, he was even better than expected. His prior firefighter expertise allowed him to give us more insights regarding potential fire hazards and other safety codes that we may otherwise would have missed. From the start he was clear and descriptive with everything he noted. We walked through every spot in the house and showed me as he went what he found and what that meant for me as the buyer. His knowledge from Materials to brands and durability of windows, doors, boilers, etc. was very refreshing as it made it easier knowing what would need more care upon purchasing the home. His report came very detailed as well and in a timely manner. Extremely satisfied with his services and one hundred percent recommend his services.

The report was extremely detailed and included photos from multiple angles and explanations of his findings with regards to how urgent a potential repair would be. Steve was worth every penny!

REVIEW UPDATE: Upon taking possession of our brand new home and bringing in an electrician and HVAC…read moreservice person for random upgrades, they each brought to our attention major concerns (Concerns that this home inspector completely missed, or just failed to call out because he is out of his depth) about poorly installed electrical wiring (in the basement, around the circuit breaker and air handler) as well as the below-par installation of the AC condenser/air handler -- There is clear visible evidence of water having been, at one time, in the catch tray below a supposedly brand new air handler which is 100% NOT supposed to happen. NONE of these issues were brought to our attention by this home inspector. And had he been either more knowledgeable about standard building practices (as any home inspector should) or communicative about those short-comings, we would have either tried to negotiate the price of this home with the Seller, or just walked away. That is the home inspector's job, and he failed at his job. I followed up with the home inspector about all the issues we recently discovered in the house and he said, "I am not an expert electrician. I am not an expert HVAC service person." That is absolutely ridiculous. What purpose does a home inspector serve if they are completely uninformed about basic and standard and safe building practices?? The electrician and HVAC people saw these basic, glaring discrepancies from a mile away, and they said that anyone with general knowledge should have seen these issues and brought them to our attention. AVOID THIS HOME INSPECTOR AT ALL COST!!!

Two chimney companies and a municipal building inspector all told me that the damage was long standing and clearly visible. There was no mention of it in our inspection report. The home inspector, Thomas Unverzagt of WIN Home Inspections, hasn't even done me the courtesy of speaking with me, even though I have tried to reach him by phone and email for the last 3 months. A clear Do Not Recommend! Update in response to Tom: "We" have not had any discussions as you have not responded to my many requests to talk. Fascinating that you responded to my negative review in a few hours! I repeat that a municipal building inspector and 2 chimney companies confirmed that the damage was long standing and readily visible from the ground looking at the outside of the chimney. Now that I know what damaged bricks look like, even I can see the damage - no level 2 inspection was needed.

However, after only about 15 minutes of inspecting the entire house, he concluded there was nothing to worry about. About a month later, a contractor had to remove all of the floors due to significant sagging and install new joists because of damaged joists in the basement. In addition, there was water entering the basement due to improper grading -- something that was also never mentioned in the inspection. As a new homeowner, I relied on this inspection to identify major issues. This is my personal experience, others may have had a better one.
