When we arrived he was already up on the roof doing his inspection. When he got down from the roof he greeted my husband and I with a hand shake. We walked with him most of his inspection. He welcomed us to walk with him and explained things along the way. He made suggestions of things we could do to prevent problems down the road in caring for our new home. He checked every window, every door and switch. He took covers off electrical panels and off the furnace and water heater. He was not judge mental, nor negative. He spoke facts and gave so many helpful suggestions. Our money was well spent for his services. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a home inspection.

I would HIGHLY recommend Jon Bronemann for your home inspection before buying a house. Jon was…read morevery thorough in his inspection and was more than willing to explain how the many systems work in your home. He is very friendly, personable, and professional. He even saved me more money after I moved into my home and found a slight issue where a plumber would have charged at least $100 just for coming out. Jon explained the solution to the issue over the phone and it worked great. Hire Jon Bronemann for your home inspection and you will not be sorry!

Then they put in the report the toilet leaks and pictures of the water and ceiling. I don't understand why they wouldn't have taken a quick walk around the house when the water was turned back on like most people would have done and they did not note in the report it happened when they were there! They made it sound like it was an ongoing problem. They also put in the report the thermostat cover in the garage was broke...they broke it!! Very questionable business

If I had a question about what or why he inspected something, he had an explanation that was clear, concise, and easy to understand. I would recommend Vigilant Home Inspections to anyone needing a complete and inclusive inspection in Vigilant's area of service.

Vigilant home inspectors unnecessarily panicked our buyers, which prevented negotiations on remedy…read morerequests, and led to our home sale falling through. They appeared to lack understanding of modern building practices and code regulations. When we offered to provide information on the energy efficient upgrades we made to the home, they were not interested, then listed these value-added items as problems. The remedy request stated recommendations as requirements, stated only certified plumbers, electricians, or carpenters could make repairs, which is untrue, and made several suggestions that were both unnecessary and would make the home dramatically less practical to live in. Nearly every item in the remedy report was stated in a misleading way. Their focus on radon mitigation system upgrades appears to be an attempt to generate additional business for their sister company, which installs radon mitigation equipment. The radon levels in our home have repeatedly tested well below the EPA's recommended level for mitigation and there is a fully functioning mitigation system in place, yet changes were recommended. This company's report appears to lack useful information on the important attributes of the home that other inspectors will often provide. The "vigilance" Vigilant Home Inspectors provide appears to be misguided, worrying potential buyers by focusing on items that will likely never be problematic.

I was very impressed with the thoroughness of Gold Shield's inspection and report. I imagine that sellers' agents immediately start craving an extra strong drink upon hearing that Gold Shield is the buyer's inspector!! Seriously. Gold Shield truly is everything one hopes and expects in a family owned and operated business. While I'm sure there are plenty of home inspectors in the Iowa City area, Gold Shield is the company that I will be enthusiastically recommending.
