Helman Home Inspections, LLC

John is the best around! This is the second time I had hired him for an inspection and he always gives a throughly detailed inspection. I wouldn’t trust anyone else.

Jonathan was great during our home inspection! Very thorough and great at explaining every step of the process so that we understood all of his recommendations. Wonderful experience!

We're first time home buyers and the process can be quite overwhelming along with requiring quick turn around times. After a recommendation from our agent, we're so grateful that Jonathan was able to fit us into his schedule and provide a very thorough report in time.

From the initial phone call to spending a few hours with him in person during the inspection, Jonathan was a joy to work with. He's very knowledgable and professional while also being kind and funny. He was very candid in his remarks and took the time to explain the WHY and not just the WHAT behind things. He turned around the detailed report with photos, comments, and recommendations within a few hours of finishing the inspection.

He definitely earned our trust and we would recommend him to our closest friends and family. We will use him again whenever we need another home inspection!

I had a great experience with my recent pest inspection. I met Jonathan, and I truly appreciated the integrity of his honesty. He took the time to thoroughly inspect the property and explained everything in detail. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Helman Home Inspections. Jonathan was professional throughout the entire inspection. He was very easy to work with and answered all of our questions. The inspection report was thorough and beyond helpful in making our decision on the house under review.

We are in the process of a new home build and the best decision we have made was hiring Hellman Home Inspections! He went over every inch of the home and explained any/all areas of concern in great detail. He found numerous issues that were previously overlooked by the building inspectors and saved us so much money in future repair. Extremely professional and knowledgeable! 100% recommend.

Jonathan was great! Very thorough through our inspection. He answered every question we had while we were walking through with him. 10/10 would recommend and will use again!

As first time home buyers, it was a bit daunting to get a home inspection, but John was very thorough, he explained everything super clearly, and was very personable! Highly recommend for any home inspection!

My husband and I were about to purchase an older home in Monessen. We needed to find an inspector within a 7 day contingency clause in agreement. John was the first one I contacted because of his 5-star reviews, and he did not disappoint. He booked me right away for the inspection, was very thorough, walked me through all concerns, followed up with a report on the same day, and later discussed details with my husband over the phone due to his absence of the inspection. Because of the details John included in his report, we decided not to move forward with the property. Nice guy and very professional.

The service provided by Jonathan is top notch as he was very detail focused and thorough in the inspection process. He also shared a load of knowledge while completing the inspection that will be helpful in the ownership of the inspected property. I would recommend him to anyone and was very pleased with the turnaround time of the inspection report as well!

My husband and I are purchasing an older Pittsburgh home that will require extensive repairs in order to make it safe for our children. Knowing this, Jonathan walked us through the home and explained everything to us in detail. He made sure that we saw firsthand the repairs that will be needed. Ultimately, his extremely thorough inspection report helped us to decide if we should pursue purchasing this home. Jonathan is so knowledgeable and trustworthy. He was objective and generous with his time. He did not rush throughout the inspection. His inspection report helped us to plan for estimates and prioritize areas that needed most of our attention. My husband and I were so grateful for him, and would recommend Helman Home Inspections to everyone.

Jonathon was excellent. Very knowledgable & personable as well! I’d highly recommend him to anyone who needs their home inspected.

Extremely thorough inspection of recent potential home. I’m so blessed and thankful for honest feedback of what to expect as a homebuyer for maintenance and repairs to be expected. Because of the details Johnathan included I decided not to move forward with that home purchase but will most definitely be using him with future home purchase. Having that peace of mind of knowing you have a trustworthy meticulous inspector that makes the inspection transparent is truly priceless. Also worth mentioning- extremely easy to contact and very prompt and professional response back. Highly recommend!

Jonathan was very informative and easy to talk to. He showed me everything that he was doing and explained what he found. He took his time and really looked at everything! Highly recommended!

We found Jon after looking at an inspection for another house we were considering. His report made it clear that the house was a money pit and steered us far away, but it was clear the level of detail and the expertise that Jon had. When we made an offer on a different house, we immediately called Jon to do the inspection. As expected from the previous report, Jon left no stone unturned and gave us as much information as possible to make an informed decision.

Jonathan is absolutely fantastic. Buying a home is super frightening and costs a lot of money, and he made sure to calm us down and ease our nerves. He’s knowledgeable, thorough, and tells things how it is. This is super important as nothing is sugarcoated and we know what we’re walking into. Great customer service - we loved working with Jonathan!

We recently had our townhouse inspected by Jon from Helman Home Inspection, and we couldn't be more satisfied with his work. Jon was thorough, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to walk us through each area of the inspection, ensuring we understood not just what he was inspecting, but why certain items were being noted. His clear explanations and attention to detail provided us with valuable insights into the condition of our home. We highly recommend Helman Home Inspection and Jon for anyone needing a reliable and comprehensive home inspection.

He did a fantastic job on his home inspection for us, and was very informative on the issues that were found. Would highly recommend as he is thorough and knowledgeable.

Jonathan was very helpful and explanatory with and of the whole process. Took all the time I needed to explain the very lengthy and detailied report.

Jonathan was amazing, very very thorough! He made the inspection experience smooth & he was super down to earth. Highly recommend Helman home inspections!

Jon at Helman Home Inspections was absolutley amazing! As first time home buyers, we we're nervous for our inspection, but Jon eased our worries and was very honest with his findings and recommendations. We felt so confident in our new home after Jon had left! I was blown away with the report he put together afterwards, which even included instructions on how to fix some minor issues in the home ourselves. When we showed our family members his report, they we're shocked at how detailed it was. They all agreed it was the best home inspection report they had ever seen. If you're in the Pittsburgh area looking for a home inspector, I couldn't recommend Helman Home Inspections enough! Thank you Jon for making our first home inspection such a pleasant and easy experience!

The inspector went above and beyond what was expected of him! Along with being kinda and understanding. He answered all the questions and handled all the concerns I had! Would highly recommend to anyone buying a home!

Jonathan was amazing!! He was very honest and transparent about the house and what he thought would be an issue. Would highly recommend to anyone who is trying to get an inspection to use Helman Home Inspections

Honestly, couldn't have asked for a better guy! He was professional, thorough, and made the whole thing super straight forward. Can't rate him highly enough.

Honest and comprehensive inspection. He took the time to explain everything so we could understand the true condition of the building. I would honestly give 6 stars if I could.

Highly impressed with the service I received from Helman Home Inspections. Jonathan was extremely professional, thorough, and never hesitated to educate me through the inspection. The knowledge I gained while walking through the inspection with him will last a lifetime. He came recommended to me and he didn't disappoint! I'll recommend him time and time again.

If you need your home inspected, Jonathan is the way to go! As a first-time home buyer, the inspection process can be daunting, but he really took the time to walk me through the steps and what he was doing once we were on-site. He's incredibly detailed and you can tell he truly cares about your home as if it was his own. The inspection report was thorough and delivered a few hours after the inspection was completed. Jonathan definitely made me feel confident in my decision on whether or not to purchase the home after inspection. I highly recommend going through him for your home inspection!

We used Jonathon for our home inspection. Very thorough and didn’t cut corners. He made sure everything was checked out, at a reasonable price.

Great service in every way. Thorough inspection, detailed report to keep and review, able to join in on the inspection. They also offered to review the report with us and explain anything we had questions on. 10/10!

I do not give many reviews, however I feel the need to comment on the services provided by Helman Home Inspection, LLC. I had the opportunity to work with Jon. He communicated with me promptly and effectively about the process. He was on time professional, through and detail oriented. Helman Home Ins. was a breath of fresh air in a world where everyone seams to do shoddy work or just enough to get paid. I highly recommend Jon and his team.

Jonathan was great to work with. He provided a detailed report shortly after completing the inspection. I definitely recommend him!

We were buying a home from out of state sight unseen. Jonathan was incredibly helpful. From our first phone call, to a very detailed inspection report, to several calls after with our concerns, he was always ready and willing to answer any questions! His knowledge and professionalism were amazing and we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to anyone wanting to purchase a home!!!

TLDR: Jonathan is a highly skilled and diligent inspector who has a keen eye for the small details as well as the issues sellers intentionally try to hide. Without him, we would have purchased a well-concealed lemon of a home likely requiring 100k in repairs.

To give some background, my partner and I are first-time homebuyers. Buying a home is, by a great margin, the biggest purchase/investment we’ve ever made, and making sure it is a good investment was the most important thing to us. As such, we spent several hours researching different inspectors as well as professional engineers. After narrowing it down, we called each to check their availability and to examine their recommended approaches for the address we were slated to purchase. After the call, it was exceedingly apparent Jonathan was a high energy person who takes his job not just seriously, but personally; it’s his craft. He told us on the phone that he inspects each home like it’s his family member’s purchase, and he more than lived up to that. After the call, my partner immediately said, “That’s the inspector I want.” While I was strongly leaning that way after the call, I wanted to do my due diligence and compare quotes with our other candidates. And we did… but getting in touch with our other top candidates proved to be difficult—massive delays between the voicemails we left and hearing back. Comparatively, Jonathan was proactive and would get back to us quickly. Jonathan’s timeliness was really reassuring to us that we wouldn’t be delayed. He also had a very reasonable prices relative to the other candidates, and even offered infrared imaging for no additional charge (on an as-helpful basis); the others up charged considerably.

On the day of the inspection, we showed up at our to-be house about 10 min early. Jonathan wasn’t anywhere to be found… but that’s because we didn’t look up. He was already up on the roof documenting issues about 20 min before we even arrived. Jonathan is very affable and introductions were pleasant. Right from the beginning, Jonathan was informative of things to be aware of as homeowners and went out of his way to talk us through the things he was looking for (which we really appreciated as first-time homebuyers). We’re not sure how long inspections are supposed to be, but had heard it’s usually 1-1.5 hrs. However, Jonathan spent close to 4 hrs providing a thorough inspection. He went through every room, checked every outlet, every appliance, and made sure to not miss anything that could potentially be an issue. Although he never directly stated it, it seemed apparent throughout that he was baffled with the unprofessional and unsafe work done by the previous owner—it was as though he took it personally that we were in a contract to buy the property. Jonathan truly has homeowners’ best interests in mind. He identified issues—many of which seemed intentionally concealed. Although inspections can be overwhelming, Jonathan did make the whole experience a positive one as he made it educational and even managed to make light of the situation (in a sensitive way). The inspection report was completed the same day and he appropriately detailed all the issues as well as recommendations for repair.

If you’re not an inspection expert, and/or you’re a first-time homebuyer like ourselves, you want someone like Jonathan to make sure you don’t make the worst investment of your life. Based on everything unveiled, we decided to walk away from the purchase which would have easily required 100k to salvage it from its state of disrepair. Despite being duped into a contract and having to get the house inspected for a non-negligible cost, that cost pales in comparison to what we would have lost if we assumed ownership of that home; Jonathan saved us countless dollars and stress. We have used the things he taught us as we’ve continued our home search; they have proven really helpful in considering homes. We are so grateful to Jonathan and we’d recommend him without reservation.

Helman home inspections were pleasant, professional and prompt. Very through and answered all my questions clearly (with no mansplaining!) . I would absolutely hire them again!

I would recommend Helman Home Inspection to everyone. John was amazing, he was very informative and honest. I can’t thank him enough for his service!

John was very thorough and provided very timely response for the home inspection requested. Thank you John for your professionalism and attention to detail.

We could not of asked for a better first home buying experience inspection than with Helman Home Inspections. It was a pleasure working with Jonathan and he was very thorough, helpful, time efficient, and personable. We would HIGHLY recommend his services to others for their current and future homes.

Jonathan was extremely thorough and knowledgeable taking his time with our home inspection. Answered every question we had and are very thankful for his help with the process. As a first time home buyer he made this overwhelming process simple and can’t thank him enough.

First off I would like to say how at easy he made us feeling looking over our for ever home. He literally treated our house( people he never met) like it was his house and his family was moving in. I am speaking from experience on our starter home A 1 sewage and our THEN home inspector(both we will never use again) missed a 6 in gap in our sewage line. We lost our basement the first day we moved in. Not Helman Home Inspections he was very thorough and complete. 10/10 and we will always use him if the need comes up

I would recommend Helman Home Inspections as they are reliable, professional and handle inspections in a timely manner. Their prices are reasonable and they are they are flexible also.

I would recommend Helman Home Inspection to anyone looking for a home inspection that will give you peace of mind about the house you are potentially buying. John is highly thorough and professional with every aspect of the inspection. You will receive a fast response from him and the inspection report is first class. John's inspection report uncovered major concerns on a house we were considering as a forever home. The amount of money and headaches he saved us is invaluable. I will be using Helman Home Inspections for the next house we potentially buy! Thank you John for your great work!

I can't say enough good things about Jonathan. I arrived 15 minutes early and he was already on the roof inspecting it. Very knowledgeable and very professional. Honestly, choosing Helman Home inspections is the best investment I've made thus far. After talking with Jonathan, I was confident in my decision on whether or not to purchase the home. If you looking for a honest Home Inspector who is looking out for your best interest Helman Home inspections is the place.

Showed up before the scheduled time to get a head start, when setting up the inspection all it took was 1 phone call and everything else was handled. Very professional going above and beyond different issues and gave a variety of fixes based on price and look along with recommendations for future costs that will come up pretty quickly when it came to major parts of the house.

Would recommend to anyone needing an inspection and would use again if I need another inspection done.

Helmans did a thorough and professional job.John was knowlegable and knew all of the issues that needed to be dealt with as well as a timeline for when these problems had to be resolved. He provided a detailed writtren report that we plan to share with the owners.The fee of the home inspection saved us from purchasing a home that needed far more repairs than we were comfortable with so we will not be buying. I would recommend this service highly.

Jonathan at Helman Home Inspections is very thorough with his home inspections. He also gives you the exact details of everything he finds. He has done a few for us now and we are very pleased with him. Don’t waist your time with any other company. He is always on time and takes his time doing the inspection. If you are buying a home, you want this guy doing your inspection.

Pros and Cons-
Pros: Mr. Helman was very, very thorough. My mortage rep and realtors said they have never seen an inspection report this detailed before. The home was only 1,000 square feet but he provided over 50 pages detailing almost every bit of the house and any and all issues found. Not only that, he also provided resources and suggestions on how to deal with the issues that were found.
Cons: My only complaint about Mr. Helman is that I thought it was strange that he did not inspect the subfloor/crawlspace or the garage because he could not find the key for them. While yes, the realtors dropped the ball here by not making the keys visible and in plain sight, but Mr. Helman didn’t call me or the realtors to let us know about this. I understand he had a bit of a drive to get to the house and his time is valuable. But that’s why we paid $465 dollars for this inspection. It would have taken maybe ten minutes tops to resolve this but no one knew this was an issue until the report was received. That is such a very, very strange thing to do.
Overall, 4/5 stars.

As a potential home buyer, Helman services should definitely be used. He did thorough home & pest insp.I feel very educated & safe with his review of the entire structure, inside & out. Keynote items such as basement &roof integrity/
plumbing/electrical/furnace/hot water tank were explained to me in understandable terms, so I can relay to seller for any concerns before closing. Of course, this all was followed with a very detailed inspection report. Overall, I felt something so big & even scary as a home purchase was handled expertly in all areas...leaving me feel more educated & confident & trustworthy to move forward to my next home buying step. Thank you again Jonathan & I certainly recommend your company to home buyers without hesitation.

So allow me to preface first how he saved us from making a $100k MISTAKE. Jonathan is a thorough, detail oriented and flat out brilliant inspector. Not only did his inspection save us from a huge financial burden, he was also able to teach us what to look out for. As a result, we found a perfect home that fits our needs. Moving forward, we wouldn’t ever consider purchasing ANY home without him going through it first. If you’re looking for the absolute truth about the property you’re considering purchasing for your family, business or investment opportunities, HAVE HIM GO THROUGH IT WITH YOU FIRST. You’ll save yourself and your wallet/purse from imminent defeat.

As first-time home buyers, we were very overwhelmed with the process. Jonathan helped us understand the inspection, taught us what to look for when going through a house, and gave us confidence in buying our home. He was extremely professional, easy to work with, and thorough. Without him, we would have bought a house that needed more renovations than we could handle and he helped give us confidence in the home we are moving into. When purchasing our first home, we experienced highs and lows but are so thankful and feel confident in the home we purchased thanks to Jonathan We cannot thank him enough for being patient and teaching us throughout the process. We cannot recommend Jonathan enough!!

Jon showed up ready to work and on top of the job. He was thorough and gave great advice. Professional, easy-going, and helpful. I would definitely recommend his services to family, friends, and anyone needing a good and reliable home inspection.

When it comes to home inspections, Jonathan is one of the best I've found! He's honest, upfront, and incredibly detailed - three qualities you want in an inspector before you buy a property. Since I was not able to make the inspection, he provided a detailed report and followed up with me afterwards, going through the entire report and providing his advice. I appreciate his sincere advice and feel like I walked away with solid advice for the future. Thanks again Jonathan, hope to connect again in the future!

Very professional and quick response for the services I needed. Highly recommend for all your home inspections needed for purchasing a home. Very affordable.

John has been a tremendous resource to our firm in the involvement of providing professional service, highly-detailed inspection reports, and later commentary and explanation of property details. Would recommend John and Helman Inspection s without hesitation!

I highly recommend Helman Home Inspections. John was able to schedule me in a timely manner. He was thorough, honest and very informative throughout the entire process.

John was extremely informative on ever detail as he walked through our home.

His attention to detail and willingness to tell us why a certain thing was the way it was made us feel very confident in his inspection.

John performed a home and pest inspection on a home purchase. He was very thorough, professional and very knowledgeable.
