"Holmes did a wonderful job in inspecting my new home. What a difference when compared to the company that inspected my old home! Holmes was very detailed and explained everything along the way. I was very satisfied and would recommend them to anyone! Thanks Holmes for making me feel safer to move into my new home."Carmine Capone
"I would highly recommend Holmes Inspection. They were a major help in purchasing my first home. There expertise helped me to get the problems of the house fixed before I purchased the home and completed the final walk-through. The suggestions I did not have the seller fix I have now fixed myself in order to save money when it comes time to sell and or pay bills. I would tell everyone to use Holmes Inspection service and have recommended them to other friends who have purchased homes"Al LaRocca
"We used Holmes for two inspections. We had Robert as an inspector both times, and we found him to be very professional, honest and meticulous. With the first house, he found problems that were not at all obvious to the untrained eye and saved us from problems in the future. If I buy another house in this area, I definitely plan to use Holmes again!"Dennis Clare
"Bob O'Rourke inspected two houses for me. I would never use anybody else. He is thorough and explains everything in great detail. He will not only ensure that your future home is safe and in working order but will also provide advice regarding home maintenance. Working with Bob is truly a pleasure."Andrew Krumerman
"Greg of Holmes Inspection Service put us completely at ease when purchasing our condo. It was like having a personal friend doing the inspection. He was very honest and helpful, offered advice, giving us tips on how to save money and made us feel very confident about our purchase. His report was very thorough and easy to understand, and even weeks after the inspection, he quickly returned my call to answer a question that our insurance company had. A year has passed and everything he said has remained true. We recommend Greg highly!"Robin Psztur
"Bob O'Rourke did an excellent job inspecting my home. He explained everything thoroughly and made sure I really understood. He even took the time to explain how I needed to take care of the furnace and how the windows that flip inside worked. Thank you!"Dianne Ruffolo
"Greg Nelms not only inspected my condo, he educated me in the process, and gave advice on how to keep it in good condition. For a first-time buyer, I would strongly recommend him, as his calm manner and sharing of knowledge puts fears to rest."Lorraine Knapp

"Bob O'Rourke did a great job inspecting our prospective house. He was extremely thorough and put everything in terms that my wife and I could understand."Peter Daquila
"Bob O'Rourke did an excellent job inspecting our prospective house. Being a first time buyer, it was great to have someone like Bob walk us through the process and explain what needed to get done, its priority and approximate price range."Julia Eisenberg
"As you are aware, several members of our family have employed the services of Holmes Inspection Service over the past ten years after our oldest daughter purchased her first home. We have always been more than satisfied with the well organized, professional and thorough inspections you have provided. Your written report (hard copy and electronic) is always clear-cut, easily understandable and provided in a timely manner. Best of all, Bob, is your ability to inject humor into a process that can be tedious and boring to those not well versed in what an inspection involves. Your insight into areas of concern, in various houses, has been instrumental in determining whether to purchase a property and your suggestions for improvement have always been an extra benefit for those that have been purchased.
We just wanted to thank you for a "job well done" - Holmes Inspection Service has our highest endorsement!"Brenda and Richard Isaacs
"In January 2006, my wife and I decided to bid on a home located in Monmouth county, NJ. After the bid was inspected we hired Holmes inspection services to perform a home inspection on the house. We had used Holmes inspection services for four previous transactions, and had recommended them to several other people for their purchases. Everyone of them was delighted with the service they received and valued the knowledgeable advice they were given. My recommendation is no small matter to me because I work in the mortgage industry and have also invested in real estate. When I make a recommendation, it's my reputation at stake, so I make sure that if I find someone good, I stick with them and have no problem sharing that information with others.
Greg performed the inspection at the prospective house, methodically analyzing the structure from the ground up. He took the time to explain any defects, as well as their severity and what remedial measures needed to be taken. He was extremely thorough, professional and on top of it, he has a personality. I was impressed how he put the home sellers at ease. After having their home inspected for three hours I though they might pass out. The inspection pointed out several serious issues that the home owner wasn't aware of, such as a short that was occurring in the electric panel. This was pointed out to the home owner who immediately had that fixed, maybe saving their home from a serious catastrophe.
Purchasing a home for most people is the greatest investment that they will ever make, and I have heard horror stories of people who had inspections done by unknowledgeable people (you can take a course online and call yourself an inspector) who ended up regretting making the purchase. I can honestly say that with Greg that type of thing wouldn't happen. I will be using him again in the future and will continue to recommend his services to others. Again, it's my reputation at stake."Steve Loges - Assistant Vice-President Commerce Bank, N.A. Residential Mortgage Department
