I was referred to Mike by my real estate agent. He was prompt to reply and easy to work with. The house I was looking at needed a lot of work, and Mike was up front about what needed to be done, but also took the time to educate as he did his inspection. I would use Mike's services and expertise again and I recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspection, especially as a first-time buyer.

Michael responded to our initial request for a home inspection, and was able to accommodate our super short timeline. He was extremely professional, personable, informative and made us feel very comfortable with this entire process. As first time home buyers, every step forward is more nerve wracking then the last, and Michael was patient with us and helped us understand every step of the process. Would recommend to anyone needing a home inspection.

Icon Home Inspections CONSISTENTLY delivers inspections beyond my expectations. Honest and thorough, my clients are educated about the homes they look to purchase and can ask questions LONG after the inspection is over. I cannot recommend enough!

Michael was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and friendly. He obviously cares about helping people. I greatly appreciated him taking the time to walk through all of the shut offs and emergency measures to ensure we really understood the home and how to stay safe. He went way over and above my expectations as a home inspector.

Michael always does a fantastic job at every home inspection. He is thorough and personable and explains everything. As a realtor, I recommend multiple finance contacts, multiple insurance contacts and multiple assorted trades contacts but only recommend 1 home inspector - Michael Balaban of Icon Home Inspections.

01 Nov 2018Mike did our home inspection, and was not only thorough but was happy to answer ALL of the many questions I had on almost every item. He took the time to ensure that I understood the basic functions of the mechanical elements, provided me with an in-depth perspective of not only the structural points but with the potentials (good and not so good) of owning not only this house, but any house I consider in the future. He is also a very valuable resource for all things reno, with an incredible repertoire of knowledge of service providers and vendors available in the area. Thanks Mike! I felt 110% confident in this home after your report.

I refer my clients to Michael for all types of inspections. He is very knowledgeable, professional, thorough and he takes the time to explain maintenance and minor repairs to my clients. Michael is also very well connected and has a long list of people that he recommends for any type of job. What’s more, he’s always just a phone call or text away whenever I have a question and happily extends that same availability to each and every one of my clients as well. I strongly recommend him to anyone needing an inspection.

Mike was amazing! I was working within a short time frame and he met me after hours to ensure we could have the ozone treatment completed by the weekend. He kept me in the loop and made me feel comfortable with what was being done with the house. Money very well spent, would highly recommend!

Mike was extremely helpful. As a first time home buyer, he went through the basics of the house without assuming any prior knowledge. He offered lots of tips and advice to help maintain the home well after the home inspection was complete. Mike pointed out the issues and gave us several solutions to solving them. Can't recommend him enough.

Mike is amazing and trustworthy! We were first time home buyers and he made sure we knew all the right places to where the emergency valves were and different preventative measures to potential home disasters. He made the inspection hands on, so we can remember how to do it ourselves for the future. His report at the end of the inspection was sent the same day and was helpful for us to remember what we went through during our inspection. He also gave tips to home maintenance and commented on his honest observations. We were also impressed by his bat mobile and his batman impersonation! It was a pleasure and good learning opportunity! Thanks again Mike and happy new year to you and your family.

Had a really good experience today. Had got Mikes info from another friend who used him as well. After using another service (cough* Holmes) I felt like it was worth using another service. After looking at a triplex for 3+ hours, Mike informed us of all issues he saw as well as addresses any concerns about the property we had from initial viewings. He did not rush. He did not sugar coat. He didn’t treat us like we knew nothing of home construction. His way of recording info was efficient and report was delivered extremely quick (same afternoon) and looks simple and professional. Definitely feel like I got a good value for the money spent. He is also a licensed electrician among other certifications. I would use again. Thanks !

If you need a home inspection done (which you probably should), Mike is who you should get. He goes through your home top to bottom and explains where all the important shut offs and switches are. He makes sure that you understand all the equipment that is in your home and why it is there. At the end, he sends you a pdf report so you will always have his feedback and summary.

Mike is super knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything with you so you understand the process and know how to solve issues that could occur and how things currently are. He is very detailed, personable and easy to talk to. Would definitely recommend!
