Harmon Home Inspections

Rob was extremely thorough. The seller had a home inspection done by another provider and they only completed a fraction of the tasks that Rob did. Most inspectors only visually check the roof but Rob got a ladder and went onto the roof and took various pictures of  problem areas. The other provider checked very few things outside. He caught loose ground connections with the pool sub panel, issues with the pool pump, dry rot on exterior deck (not included in pest report or in the other general inspectors report), exterior fence.... I would hire Rob again in a heartbeat.

I called Robert and he came out to my home the very next day.  He was on time, professional and courteous.  Robert went over EVERY part of my house with a fine-tooth comb.  He is extremely thorough and didn't miss a thing.  He walked me through his inspection afterwards answering any questions I had.  Robert's report was delivered within 24 hours and is incredibly clear, easy to read for a layman and even includes videos of his findings.  
As mentioned in other reviews, Robert used a thermal camera to test my heat vents and even found a small leak from my dishwasher (that had gone completely unnoticed by myself).  He sent me recommendations for contractors to fix the issues in my property.  I've had my share of contractors and workmen out to my house, but would have to say Robert's honesty, work ethic and manner is the best I've dealt with.  Would HIGHLY recommend.

I would hire Robert again in a heartbeat. He walked us through everything he'd found and went into great detail. His report will make it so easy to fix everything and make the house perfect.

The inspection took about 2 hours, plus about an hour to walk through and look at / talk about the items needing attention.  Robert was easy to talk to and clear about needed changes, options for repairs, safety requirements, and strong points/positive aspects of the home. We got a thorough report and are feeling confident and happy about our purchase, knowing we understand what needs to be done. We are very impressed and grateful for the fine work. Thank you!

If I never find another service provider through Angie's List other than Harmon Home Inspections, I will consider my memberships dues as money WELL spent. 
I could not be more pleased with my experience.  I contacted Rob after reading his reviews here on Angie's List, and hired him to provide a home inspection on a house I had been in contract to purchase.  He arrived at the property even before *I* did (admittedly, I was five minutes late, oddly enough because I was checking out another property... but that's another story), and immediately got to work.  He was SO INCREDIBLY THOROUGH, taking his time with everything, never rushing, and spend a solid 2 1/2 hours pouring over every nook and cranny with a fine-tooth comb.  And for a house that was less than 900 square feet?  That's a lot of time.  After he was done, he took me on a detailed walk-through, going over the major points of his findings, never once rushing, and pausing to answer every single question I'd had.  I found him calm, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable.
Being that my appointment was on a Saturday, I wasn't expecting to receive the detailed report until Monday, so I was pleasantly surprised when an email came through the very next day, stating that my report was ready to view.  I pulled it up, and lo' and behold, a MASSIVE tomb of information had been sent my way, complete with color photos, videos, and computerized arrows pointing things out in said pictures... very useful for us OCD types frazzled by the home-buying process.  I seriously can not begin to describe just how well put-together his reports are, and they read in a very simplified manner, explaining everything in clear and concise language.
I have since walked away from the aforementioned home, in large part because of Rob's findings, and am now in contract on another home (actually, the one I'd been touring which had caused me to be late for my own appointment).  I have the Home Inspection scheduled in two days, and you guessed it... Rob will be the one performing the service again.  I wouldn't even THINK about going to someone else.

He was on time, thorough, and fast. He checked the relative humidity of the wood work, as well as using a thermal camera to see if there was further leaking where we couldn't see it.

Robert was extremely responsive and professional with his inspection from beginning to end. He answered the appointment call promptly, showed up on time to the job and took very detailed pictures of the findings. I received the report at 5::30AM the next day. Talk about fast turnaround. The report was very detailed and helpful in making repairs. I even utilized his report to get the seller of the house to reimburse $1500 of the cost associated. Thank you very much!

Was pleasant, efficient, spoke simply and honestly. Would hire again in a heartbeat.

He was incredibly professional. He was 15 minutes early and got to work right away. He brought all his own equipment and went all over the roof details, the property, the pool, under the house, the garage, the pool house...everywhere! I wasn't able to make my appointment any earlier in the day than the afternoon, so I wasn't expecting that I would get the report the very next morning! I was very impressed with his service and would use him again in a heartbeat!

We are on a tight schedule to get the deal closed, so I needed someone who could respond promptly, which Robert did. Also, I was pleased with the report I received which was very thorough.

He was very thorough, there was a 42 page report with videos and pictures, he did an excellent examination very knowledgable and notices everything. Couldn't be more happy with his service. This is something I will have for years to come. I will have him back on any of my properties, and probably have him back in a few years just to have a more recent reporting on the home he inspected.

Mr. Harmon's service was excellent from beginning to end.  He responded to our telephone message immediately and scheduled a prompt appointment fat our convenience for the inspection.  He arrived as scheduled and was highly professional and amicable. At the end of the physical inspection, Mr. Harmon gave us an oral report.  He followed-up the very next day with a detailed, comprehensive written report with detailed photographs.  We recommend him very highly.

Robert's inspection was an absolutely great, professional, thorough, and pleasant inspection, despite the fact that as a result we heard a lot of bad news. I strongly recommend him as a house inspector. I wished I had his services when we bought the house we presently own, which is the house he inspected. I think Angie's list award to his services is without doubt very well deserved.

My husband was concerned that we might have foundation problems so that is why we wanted a home inspection.

The experience was great. He was extremely thorough and gave us a list of all our good and bad points in the house. He was extremely friendly and knowledgable. We fortunately did not have any structural or termite problems, but he did mention things like outlets, mold, paint, etc. that we should take care of. I would highly recommend him.

The inspector inspecting my chimney and gave me a report of major issues with my chimney.  These major issues reported were extremely costly estimates.  I have had another inspector which did not report these major issues with my chimney and provided more reasonable estimates for minor infractions.

His work is excellent- and much appreciated

Robert is an amazing home inspector. I am buying a home that had been a foreclosure and had a different home inspection company, recommended by my realtor, out before him but was apprehensive as I felt they were apathetic and didn't really dig deep to find any potential issues, which was concerning given that the home is being sold "as is". I hired Robert to do a second inspection and couldn't have been more impressed. He arrived well before the start time and had already been up on the roof by the time I got there. He is very personable and doesn't mind being followed around the house and asked questions. He is amazingly thorough. I have a problem with rats in the attic and he spent a good 20+ minutes in a tiny, cramped attic in order to give me a full sense of the issue. His education and knowledge comes through as he clearly understands construction at a very high level and he gave me the confidence to go forward with the sale. I would recommend him to anyone needing home inspection services.

Excellent job. I was buying a foreclosure, so I wanted to find out everything I could regarding the structure. Robert arrived early, and was already doing a walk around when I got there. He did a completely thorough of the house inside and out, and caught items that needed attention that the other type specific inspectors (roof, termite, etc...) did not. After he was finished, he did a walk around with me and explained a number of points, as well providing suggestions.  Afterwards, I received the full inspection report. 87 pages long. With enough detail that I can make my check lists from to have the repairs done and provide pictures of the problem areas. I am extremely impressed with the work and professionalism, and would highly recommend Robert to anyone looking for a home inspection.

It went well with Harmon. They were very thorough, maybe a little bit too thorough. The report was very thorough and had great photos to review, to show the areas that needed repair or replacement, and videos and they were available to answer any questions.

Robert arrived on time and started his inspection on the outside while we waited for the realtor to unlock the house. He was very professional and provided a very thorough report that included pictures and video. At the end we did a walk through and he summarized the problems that needed addressing. I have nothing but great things to say about Harmon House Inspections. Highly recommended!

I was looking into buying the house that I was renting since the owner put it on the market.  I knew the house had problems, so I had Robert do a full inspection.  He came back with a report that was incredibly detailed, way more than I thought I would get.  He emailed me a report full of pictures with commentary, suggestions for fixes and gave me an approximation for the cost of each repair. His findings and professional opinion raised a lot of questions which led me to not buy the home.  It would have been a money pit. So, thanks to Robert, I've avoided future headaches about this property.

It went great.  He was on time and very informative.  He did a very thorough job and gave us lots of details regarding the property.

Excellent!

Home inspection was very thorough and took several hours. After the inspection, we walked around the residence and Mr. Harmon showed us what he found. Mr. Harmon was patient and gave detailed explanations. His report was also very detailed and included pictures and video.
