The home buying process can be confusing and stressful. Not only do you need to consider things such as price and location, you also have to worry about whether the house itself has any hidden problems that could become costly surprises down the road.
As professional Home Inspectors, its our job to look for those hidden problems for you. The Home Inspection is an unbiased, professional assessment of the condition of the house. It provides you an expert opinion and professional report on the condition of the physical structure and various systems within a house. Giving you peace of mind on what is likely the largest purchase you'll ever make.
In order to prepare the report, an inspector must conduct a visual inspection of the house. During the inspection the inspector will be entering information about your home into the computer. The inspection process typically takes 2 to 3 hours to complete. This of course may vary, according to the size, condition and age of the home. We strongly encourage you to accompany the inspector during the inspection. This will give you a chance to ask questions and become familiar with the systems of the home.
Our inspections are performed to the standards established by the State of Illinois Home Inspectors License Act and The American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI). We will inspect all the structural elements and systems of the home. Items that will typically be included in an inspection are:
Framing (structure)
Roof and attic
Foundation
Walls
Electrical system
Plumbing system
Heating and air conditioning systems
Kitchen
Bathrooms
Additional items and systems unique to a particular home can also be inspected.
When the inspection is complete, we will email your report to you by 8:00 pm the same day as the inspection (in most cases). Your report will list any problems that were discovered.

Our goal is to discover and inform you of anything we find that might affect your purchase decision. Well tell you about any problems we find, and make repair recommendations.
Our service does not stop after the inspection. We encourage you to contact us with any questions we may be able to help you with as long as you own the home.
