I have purchased several homes in my life and have never had such a good experience as I've had with Don Halligan. The interaction via email has erased days of waiting for your home inspection report to get to you. Mr. Halligan conducted an incredibly through inspection of the house that I am considering. His use of visuals and complete explanations is as exact as could be done. I totally appreciate the detail which is covered so completely. Thank you Don, for a wonderful job.

We live out of state and weren't able to meet Don for our inspection, but our family members that met with him were very impressed by how thorough his inspection was and how quickly we received our report afterward.

Don was extremely thorough during the inspection. Don found a few things we never would even think of checking.

The follow up from Don has is also appreciated, as we have never been through a process quite like this. Thanks Don.

Mr. Halligan,
You were very favorably recommended when I was needing a home inspection. I am so glad I called you to handle my home inspection and radon testing!
You were extremely prompt and got right on my request! I've never had such quick response!
The inspection and radon results were so thorough and easy to understand. From your findings I have a very good understanding of the shape the house is in that I am buying. I have no doubt the inspection reports are an honest and comprehensive review of the home.
Thank you!

Really appreciated Don's expertise and experience. Great guy, reasonable rates and very knowledgeable. Thanks much!
- K.S., Humboldt IA, August 2018
Don was very professional and informative. He did a thorough inspection and prepared a user-friendly, online report for us that was easy to understand and identified all concerns, including key issues that should be repaired or replaced. I especially appreciated the ability to select individual items of concern from the online report and automatically prepare a request form that can be given to the Seller requesting that the concerns be repaired or replaced. Job well done!
- T.H., August 2018
Wow! Don was so fast in setting up inspection and incredibly efficient during it. He was done in less than 2 hours and had our full, detailed report with photos to us a few hours later. I had the chance to stop by during the end of inspection and he went through what he found with me, explaining it in a way i could understand. I would recommend him hands down for home inspections!
- J.N., Fort Dodge IA, August 2018
Don is easy to work with and responds quickly to emails and phone calls. He takes his inspection work seriously. He provides a detailed report of the property inspected and points out issues and potential issues.
- A.B., July 2018
In our first home purchase, we went with someone else. We were not impressed with this other individual. Now that is time to purchase our second home, we weren't even sure if we should have an inspection. We decided to give it another try, this time using Don. Don was able to get us in right away (even though we called him last minute). We got our report that afternoon. His report was so detailed and covered everything! He even included pictures. His home inspection really helped us with negotiations with the seller. His report also helped us prepare for what the appraiser will see and help us avoid any issues the appraiser may have before the closing!
We are hoping this is our forever home, but if we are to move again, Don will be our first choice! We will definitely recommend to family and friends purchasing a home!
- B.N., Fort Dodge IA, July 2018
Any home buyer would benefit from a home inspection with you regardless of whether or not they intended to ask for repairs to be done. The knowledge you provide your clients as buyers gives us the piece of mind to make a home purchase knowing exactly what to expect as far as deficiencies go. You were extremely knowlegable from the foundation to the roof! Happy customer 2 times in a row! Thank you so much, Don!
- D.B., Madrid IA, July 2018
Don was wonderful, honest, and detail oriented. He gave us good advice and feedback. He made us feel comfortable with our options. Would hire him again!
- E.V., Havelock IA, June 2018
This is my first time buying a home, so I didn't entirely know what to expect going into the home inspection. I happened upon Halligan Home Inspection online and I'm so glad I did. Don was incredibly thorough in his report, including photos and comments that explained his observations. I stopped by for about half an hour as he was doing the inspection and he walked me through some of the larger issues in the home. He answered my questions and I walked away feeling confident that I'd received a thorough overview of the condition of the house. Plus, with it being my first home purchase, I learned a lot. The cost of the inspection was reasonable and completely worth it. Highly recommended!
- M.T., June 2018
thank you don! Your knowledge was second to none! i learned alot of the home and felt my money was well spent with you.
- M.M., Gowrie IA, June 2018
Don arrived on time and after our greeting, we started on the home inspection. We checked the structure of the home, roof and foundation, and found was satisfactory condition. A thorough inspection was conducted on exterior and interior of home. And a list of repair items was created. Through the inspection report, we sent a list of items that need to be repaired to seller, in hopes they will get accomplished. Buying a home without an inspection is not recommended in my opinion. Thanks Don, for your expert service.
- T.H., Fort Dodge IA, June 2018
Very professional and knowledgeable.
- K.B., June 2018
We are very satisfied with Don's inspection. His report was very thorough and easy to read. We highly recommend him.
- R.M., Fort Dodge IA, June 2018
Don is fantastic at his job. Extremely thorough. A buyer can have total confidence that they will have all the knowledge needed to make an informed purchase...no surprises! He will be the only inspector I will recommend to any one thinking of buying a home. Thanks for your help Don.
