Heartland Home Inspections LLC

I used Heartland Home Inspections on my first home ever bought. Not only did the owner do a thorough and precise job, but he explained the entire home inspection process with my fiancé and I. He talked us through everything he inspected and broke down any issues he saw step by step with us. We were extremely happy with this entire experience, and they made the very stressful process of buying a home that much easier for us. His attention to detail and professionalism made me feel that much more comfortable with the entire inspection. HIGHLY recommend.

I used Heartland home inspections during my process of buying a new home and couldn't be happier I did!! Ed showed the utmost form of professionalism and was extremely thorough! He made the entire process seamless, walked me through step by step explaining everything as he went! I truly felt blessed to have found Heartland Home Inspection to make me feel comfortable with my purchase! Thanks Ed!!

We had our home inspection done with Ed, and as first time home buyers we were nervous and weren’t sure what to expect. My husband was working that day and not able to be at the inspection, which made me nervous, but Ed was beyond amazing, and his report was so detailed my husband didn’t even have any questions! Ed was recommended by my realtor and when I called him he was so personable, and I knew right away he was the inspector we wanted. On the day of inspection he was amazing!!! I honestly could not say anymore great things about him. He explained everything, I was able to walk around the home with him. He is so knowledgeable that I started to pick his brain over anything home related. Extremely thorough, awesome personality, and really knows what he is doing. We even got the detailed inspection report the very next day!!!! Honestly I would refer him to anyone, a really great guy and knows his craft.

We used Heartland Home Inspections and could not be happier. Ed, our inspector, was fantastic. We had to reschedule our initial inspection due to attorney review issues. It wasn't a problem. Afterwards, we needed to have the inspection and report done in a short amount of time. Again, Ed was able to meet our needs. The inspection was extremely thorough and Ed took a lot of time to ensure it was done correctly. The turn around time on the report was very quick. Thanks to the inspection and report done by Heartland Home Inspections we were able to negotiate with the homeowners and saved $10,000. I would highly recommend Heartland Home Inspections to anyone. This is not the first time I have worked with a home inspection company, however this was the first time I can say that the outcome was above and beyond my expectations.

Everything was perfect. Ed was as thorough as can be. He was honest and fair about his assessment. You can find a cheaper inspector, but you get what you pay for. Once I saw him in action, I didn't give a second thought to the price. This is my third home purchase and he is hands down the best inspector I have had. I would hire him again for my next home inspection.

I sold a home at the end of last year and made the mistake of listening to my listening agent and did not have a pre-listing inspection done. The buyers inspector found an issue that caused me to reduce the selling price. While going through that, I contacted Heartland and Ed and he was kind enough to give me some good advice on the issue. I am now in the process of buying a house and knew I had to have Heartland perform the inspection. Ed was extremely helpful, even though I had to change my inspection date, then have the inspection done with limited notice. Ed performed a very thorough inspection and took extra time to talk about and explain everything. He was able to get the write-up done quickly since I was on limited time. His write up and pictures were so in-depth, I was able to secure a substantial credit from the seller. I can not thank and recommend Heartland Home Inspections and Ed Novak enough.

As a high volume realtor, I have vendors approach me all the time offering their services wanting to work with me. That wasn’t the case with Ed and his team. I had actually heard about them from other agents I trusted. We decided to give Ed a chance. Since we specialize in foreclosures, these homes are a challenge for Ed and his team. Its been over 2 years and probably over 50 homes later, and Ed is still our go to guy. He has actually called us to ask if he can train other home inspectors on our houses. Last year we won worst house ever for a 3600sqft house in Far Hills with severe water damage. So when it came time for me to hire a home inspector for a house I was buying, of course I called Ed. Ed is knowledgeable about construction codes and can speak to you in a language you understand about small problems in a home that other people might think are huge issues. I also had him to a walk through of my current home to make sure it is ready for the buyers home inspector. With the paperless disclosures and billing, its easy to send Ed an email, take care of everything, and he sends me the report with a simple write up of what are the major issues of a home. Our clients are always happy with the timeliness and thoroughness of Ed and his team at Heartland Home Inspections. Being a local family owned and operated company, his wife handles the radon tests, its comforting to know you are buying a home that is not going to have major issues down the line. I highly recommend Heartland Home Inspections and will continue to use them.

It went very well. Ed was on time, and very thorough in all his work. He also gave recommendations for items that may come up down the road. After he was finished, he gave me a verbal summary of everything and he then sent a very detailed report for the inspection.

We have used Heartland Home Inspections 3x in this process of buying our first home. Ed and Lee are some of the nicest, down to earth people you'll ever meet and they left NO ROCK UNTURNED! They walked us through our entire home inspection, inside and out and explained everything in detail. We had an inspection report for our attorney within 24 hours and one of them was 88 pages long. They also showed us what to look for in the future, and you know when you walk away that they really looked out for your best interest. Not to mention, when they were booked up, Ed personally came out twice on a saturday to make it work around our closing date and gave us a discount on our home inspection the second and third time. They answer the phone themselves and make communication so easy. These are the guys you want to give your business to! Hands down.

Ed was awesome! He did a home inspection on my house pre-sale, pre-listing, so I could see what might be an issue. He was friendly, and knowledgeable, and did a thorough inspection. He also referred quality contractors for work I might want done. He also gave me options on how to fix things, so I could save some money. He also made himself available to me after the inspection for follow up questions and answers. Great experience all around!

Everything went exactly how it should go every time. Very professional, thorough, and got the inspection reports right back to us in one day.

Ed and his team at Heartland were awesome (not surprising given the other reviews). The Heartland team was very thorough in their inspection, and helped us understand what findings were more severe than others and was able to give us a good overall understanding of what we were walking into with our new home. The report was sent next day and included plenty of pictures to support the report write-up. I would definitely recommend Ed and Heartland to anyone looking for a Home Inspector.

Lee arrived on time and was very thorough with his inspection. I received my report when promise. I would highly recommend him.

As Real Estate Agents my wife and I deal with a lot of home inspection companies so we are very familiar with what is out there. If I was personally looking to hire a home inspector it would be Ed Novak of Heartland Home Inspections. He is the most knowledgeable and thorough inspector we've found. That's the reason Ed is ALWAYS our recommended professional to our clients. We know that Heartland Home Inspections will treat our clients right and assist us in protecting their best interest. If something is wrong with the house that you are buying Ed will find it! His professional reports and expert opinion will help you at the negotiating table as well!

I can’t say enough about our experience with Heartland Home Inspections. Following Ed around this 3200 sq foot 1880 farm house was a learning experience for me. Having owned 2 prior homes I thought I knew homes pretty well and was confident this new home was in good shape. I spent 4 hours with Ed as he pointed out and uncovered so many issues all while explaining how they may be addressed as well as what they could cost to fix. The next morning I had an 80 page report and needless to say we walked away from that house. Heartland Home Inspections saved us from making a big mistake and saved us small fortune. Thank you Heartland ! Bob vitali

Ed provided the most thorough and detailed home inspection ever. I would recommend his services to anyone!

Ed was absolutely wonderful. He was on time and did a very thorough inspection of our home.

Ed was great to work with. Gave a very thorough inspection. His detailed report came very quickly as he said it would. I would highly recommend Heartland Home Inspections to anyone purchasing a home.

I am so glad we hired Heartland Home Inspections to help us with the our pre-home sale inspection and radon test. Ed was on time, professional, and friendly. His inspection was thorough and he provided recommendations for options to fix issues found on the report. For example his recommendation for our elevated radon levels helped us decrease our levels by 90%. The radon report was fast and easy to understand. Having his recommendations made listing and selling our home a breeze. I would recommend Heartland Home Inspections to anyone!

I found Ed to be extremely thorough, very informative at each stage of the inspection, and helpful with suggestions. He is a true gentleman and makes every effort to provide an excellent inspection. Don't hesitate! Great guy!

We can't say enough wonderful things about Ed and Heartland Home Inspections. As first time buyers the whole process can be intimidating and Ed put us at ease right from the first phone call. He scheduled with us at his earliest availability and was flexible when we had to change the appointment. Upon arriving at the house, he was already there beginning his inspection of the outside. He was highly professional, explained everything from start to finish and did a thorough report in 24 hours. He called to make sure we understood everything and to explain certain things so we didn't get overly anxious. He even reviewed records received from the seller and compared them with info we received from the township, and made sure we knew our rights as buyers and any consumer protection laws that were relevant to our purchase. He was always available for any questions and was committed to making sure we knew as much about our prospective home as possible. We can't recommend him more highly, especially if you are a new buyer and still learning the ropes. Thank you so much Ed, thanks to you we will have peace of mind when we move into our new home!!!!!!

Ed from heartland home inspections was very thorough and his knowledge for home construction is priceless!!! He knew just where to look and showed me what needed attention. He takes pride in his job and i will use him again for sure.

Ed is a true professional. His immense knowledge is obvious as he calmly explains, in great detail, what he notices during the inspection. Easy to talk to, easy to understand. He freely entertained all of my questions, even though he wasn't technically required to answer all of them. He was patient and thorough with every explanation. The experience was a true pleasure and I left it knowing that I selected the right person for the job. The home report covered everything we discovered at the inspection. Every section of the report included a detailed explanation and multiple pictures of issues found. Ed, thanks a lot, you rock.

Ed has deep knowledge of all things structural, mechanical and electrical. He is extremely thorough. He inspects everything and produces a report (ours were 92 and 66 pages respectively) with a tremendous amount of detail. This is very helpful when working with the sellers on what repairs you expect them to either perform or reimburse you for. The thing I liked best about him, however, was the way he worked with us. We accompanied Ed on the inspection (a practice I would highly recommend, regardless of what inspector you use) and he took time to explain everything he was doing. What he was looking for. What things were good and bad (and why). He gave us numerous tips on maintenance, whether professional or do-it-yourself. My wife and I were suburbanites and had never had to deal with well water, septic or heating oil and he took the time to educate us. He gave us all the time we wanted and answered all our questions fully and understandably. When purchasing a new home, I had the pleasure of working with Ed twice in the past year. Twice because he uncovered some serious issues with the first house we had a contract on which saved us from making a terrible mistake that would have cost us tens of thousands of dollars and years of headaches. The second house went much better. I would (and have) recommended Ed to anyone. He was on time, professional, thorough, knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner. I wouldn't use anyone else, given the opportunity.

Buying a house is stressful enough, especially when it comes to home inspection. From the first conversation with Ed I was confident I found the right man for my home inspection. Ed wanted me there with him for the inspection to go over everything that was wrong, and right with the house. He showed up early and already had the outside inspection done. He explained to me in detail exactly what needed to be done. If I had a question, he explained everything in detail, and didn't just rush through everything. He was very thorough threw the whole process. He wasn't afraid to get dirty when it came to inspecting the attic!! Ed's reports were promised the next day, and they were received the next day, with copies to all party's involved!! In conclusion, Ed is a total professional, I would recommend him 110%!! Pete Casey
