Tired of the Usual Inspector Runaround?

Many buyers search for their own inspector because something about the referral process left doubt. Here's what frustrates homebuyers most — and exactly how I do it differently.

Inspectors who rush and stack appointments

I never double-book. Your inspection gets my full attention, and I'm happy for you to walk the property with me and ask questions.

Agent-biased inspectors protecting the deal

Independent by design — I work for you, the buyer. My job is to find and document the real issues, not to keep a sale moving.

Confusing 100-page reports you can't act on

You get a clear, photo-backed repair-priority summary that separates minor maintenance from what actually needs attention now.

Slow reports that miss your contingency deadline

Real estate moves fast. You receive your complete, detailed digital report within 24 hours of the inspection.

Pressure to skip or minimize the inspection

No pressure, ever. Take your time, attend the inspection, and get the clear answers you need to make a confident decision.

Independent by design. Built for the buyer.

  • •You're encouraged to attend and ask questions
  • •Unbiased inspections designed to protect the buyer
  • •I clearly document what was inspected and any limitations
  • •You receive a repair priority summary, not just a long report

What We Inspect and Why

A home inspection is a visual examination of the home's major structure, systems, and components that are visible and safely accessible. Buying a home is typically the biggest investment you will ever make, so it's important to get a home inspection because the inspector can find and document defects that may or may not be obvious to you as a prospective buyer. Such defects can range from simple replacements or repairs to severe damage or safety and health concerns.

  1. Interior, exterior, walls, windows, and doors
  2. HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning)
  3. Basement, crawlspace, and structure
  4. Fireplace
  5. Roof and attic
  6. Electrical
  7. Plumbing

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a home inspection take?+
A typical single-family home inspection takes 2 to 3 hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the property. You're welcome to attend for all or part of it.
Can I attend the inspection?+
Absolutely — and I encourage it. Attending lets you see things firsthand, ask questions, and learn how your home's systems work and how to maintain them.
How much does a home inspection cost?+
Pricing depends on the size and age of the home and any add-on services like radon or infrared testing. Visit our Services & Fees page for details, or call for a quick quote.
When will I get my report?+
You'll receive a clear, photo-backed report with a repair-priority summary — usually within 24 hours of the inspection.
Do you inspect new construction homes?+
Yes. Even brand-new homes can have hidden defects. A new-construction inspection helps you catch issues before your warranty period ends.
What areas do you serve?+
I'm based in West Chicago and serve the western and southwestern suburbs of Chicagoland. See the Areas We Serve page for the full list, or call to confirm your location.
