  Paluzzi Property Inspection Company

  Tom did a home inspection on a house that I had fallen in love with, but was concerned with its age. Tom arrived 20 minutes prior to when he needed to, and started the inspection of the outside of the house before I arrived. I'm the guy that does all of my own work in my house, and feel like I know a little bit about problem areas of a house and how to correct them. Tom's knowledge and explanation of the issues, both inside and outside of the house, saved me from making a hugely expensive mistake. I was disappointed that the house had so many issues, but SO grateful to have Tom there to explain in detail what his findings were, and even offer some idea of the repair costs of said items. He could not have been more helpful, nor could he have been more fair with me regarding his prices. I would STRONGLY recommend that you use Tom for your inspection needs. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely use him for my next home inspection and recommend him to all of my friends/family. You can't go wrong with Tom.

  Shelter Home Inspections, LLC

  I contacted EJ about doing a home inspection and he was able to come the next day on short notice. EJ was very clear on what the inspection entailed and what to expect. He was very thorough and explained everything that might be an issue or concern for us. I will definitely keep Shelter in mind for any referrals and future home inspection needs.

  LiRosi Home Inspection Services

  The inspection performed was very thorough. Used a drone to get aerial views of the house, which found some damage other inspectors may have missed. Also detected a small gas leak which needless to say was very important.

  HomeLand Property Inspections

  I had Tom Krick and Charlie Panagakis complete a Home Inspection yesterday for a home that I am purchasing.  They did an unbelievable job and I was extremely impressed with their work.  They took the time to pay attention to every little detail and explain each step of the process as they went along.  They also provided invaluable information about operating and maintaining all appliances, such as the furnace, air conditioner, hot water heater, septic system and well.  I was unfamiliar with the well and septic system, as I had never had experience with them before.  They were very patient and made sure I understood each facet of the septic and well systems before moving on to explain all each of the other individual parts of the home.   They were incredibly thorough and covered every little detail.  I have had a few home inspections in the past and have never had any of the inspectors come anywhere near the efficiency and attention to detail that was provided by Tom and Charlie.  I would highly recommend Homeland Property Inspections to anyone considering purchasing a home as they went above an beyond in providing exceptional service.  Trust me, you will be completely satisfied with the inspection provided by Tom and Charlie.  They are the best!

  Buyers Companion Home Inspection

  Even though James came late (He did call and explained there was a traffic issue), he was very knowledgeable and thorough. I liked the fact that he took his time to explain everything he was doing and answered all my questions.  Since we had a contractual commitment to give feedback to seller of anything we wanted repair, James stayed up till 3:00 AM to make sure we got the report on time.

  My one concern (beside the punctuality issue) was that I had some questions after I received the report and it took several days before he responded to my inquiry.

  The Brickkicker

  The inspector did an excellent job leading us through a new home inspection. He was very thorough and explained things on a level we could understand. He pointed out things that we should recommend getting fixed before we move in along with things to keep in mind for general maintenance issues after we take possession of the home. The day after the inspection we received a detailed report that we utilized to coordinate any items we wanted repaired before and after we move in.
  The inspector responded to all phone calls and emails in a timely manner.
  Highly recommend them for a home inspection!

  Home Team Inspection Service-Schaumburg

  This was our first experience using a business we found on Angie's List and it was an excellent one. Bill, the home inspector hit some traffic and was a few minutes late but his office called and advised us so we weren't left waiting without notice. Mark. the HVAC inspection specialist that Bill uses to check the air conditioning and furnace was early and set to work immediately. He was very personable and professional, never short or unfriendly. Bill arrived and began just as quickly and did an incredibly thorough job inspecting everything from the garage door to the attic and ceiling fans. Both inspectors were knowledgeable and gave excellent advice to first-time home buyers like ourselves, never impatient or condescending. The very next day we received a detailed report including pictures and two days later received the Radon test results we requested in addition to the inspection. I'd have no problem referring this company to anyone needing home inspection services.

  Secure Choice Real Estate Consultants

  Mark was responsive and very easy to work with.  We had numerous conversations prior to the inspection.  I asked him all types of questions and he responded via text and phone; he is extremely knowledgeable about the entire process.  
  Mark came over a little late for the appointment; but he communicated with me the entire time as he was running late from another job.  As soon as I met him, I could see that he was going to do a great job.  He got right to work and immediately you could see he was detail oriented.  He took almost 100 pictures during the process (which later showed up in his report).  Mark wanted me to be with him for the entire inspection.  When I stepped away to eat lunch.....he caught me back up and reviewed what I had missed.  The final report he produced was great.  
  Mark is the guy you want inspecting your house.  He is extremely detail oriented and doesn't miss anything.  He has been doing this awhile and you can see he knows what he is doing.  Real easy guy to get along with.  I would strongly recommend.

  MACDONALD PROPERTY INSPECTIONS

  Pre-Inspection: I read others reviews of Andrew and his services and decided to give him a call to inspect a new home that we recently went under contract for.  Upon the first call he took all my information, provided his availability, gave me an estimate,  and was very professional during the dealings.  He followed up on items in the agreed upon time frame and was very pleasant every time we spoke.
  Inspection Day:  Andrew arrived to the property early and was already starting to get his equipment unloaded prior to my arrival (I'm a big fan of punctuality!!)  He gave me an overview of all the things that he would be going over and encouraged that I follow him around during the inspection if I so chose.  Over the course of the inspection he pointed out things on the property that I would probably not have noticed and took the time to answer any questions that I had along the way.  He was very methodical in his approach and left no stone un-turned, this included finding things like a light bulb for the microwave being burned out/missing, a possible recall on the dishwasher, and a host of other things no matter how small to make me aware of.  The inspection took ~3hrs to complete.
  Post-Inspection:  Andrew stated that he would have the inspection reports ready for my review later that evening and he delivered on his commitment.  The report is able to be downloaded for my keeping and he also stores the reports on his website for 5 years if I were to lose the file.  I feel much more comfortable in my purchasing of this property and will be using the information to either get most of the items addressed by the seller or provide a credit at closing.  Overall this was a good experience and would recommend his services to anyone looking to purchase a new home.
