Our Home Inspection Services Include:

Buyer Home Inspection
Our buyer home inspections provide a comprehensive evaluation of the home's major systems and components, helping you make an informed purchase. We identify safety concerns, maintenance needs, and potential issues before you commit. A thorough inspection helps you:

• Understand the true condition of the home

• Avoid unexpected repairs or hidden issues

• Gain peace of mind before making a major financial investment

• Make confident, well-informed decisions

​Condo & Townhouse Inspections
Condominium and townhome inspections are similar to single‑family home inspections, with a few key differences. These inspections typically take less time but may include evaluation of shared or common areas depending on the property.
Your inspection includes:

• Interior and exterior components of the unit

• Mechanical systems

• Plumbing and electrical

• Visible common areas (when accessible)

This service helps you understand both your unit and the shared building elements that may affect long‑term ownership.

Multi‑Unit Home Inspections
Chicago is known for its classic 2‑Flats, Graystones, and multi‑unit buildings — many of which are older and require a careful, experienced eye. A Multi‑Unit Inspection is essential for investors and owner‑occupants purchasing:

• 2‑Flats

• 3‑Flats

• 4‑Units

• Larger residential buildings

Inspection pricing depends on the number of units and the size of the property. This service helps you identify safety issues, deferred maintenance, and potential repair costs before making a major investment.


Pre‑Listing Home Inspection for Sellers
A Pre‑Listing home inspection helps sellers avoid surprises, price their home accurately, and speed up the selling process. We highlight issues before your home hits the market, giving you the advantage during negotiations. This inspection allows you to:

• See your home through the eyes of a neutral third party

• ​Identify issues before buyers do

• Make repairs on your own timeline

• Reduce renegotiations and delays

• Strengthen your asking price

Since most buyers will order their own inspection, a Pre‑Listing Inspection helps you stay ahead of potential concerns and avoid surprises during closing.

Maintenance & Safety Inspections
Maintenance & Safety Inspections are ideal for:

• Senior homeowners

• Busy families

• Concerned parents

• Single parents

• Anyone who wants to stay ahead of maintenance issues​​

This abbreviated inspection focuses on key areas that commonly develop problems over time, including:

• Roof covering

• Attic

• Basement

• Furnace

• Air conditioner

• Water heater

• GFCI outlet testing

If you haven’t checked your attic, crawlspace, or mechanical systems recently, this service helps you stay proactive and safe.

11 - Month Warranty Inspections
If you've recently purchased a newly built home, our 11 - month warranty inspection identifies defects before your builder's warranty expires. Protect your investment and ensure repairs are completed on time. A Four‑Point Inspection is often recommended for rental properties, investment homes, or insurance requirements. This inspection focuses on the four most critical systems in the home:

• Roof

• Heating & Cooling

• Plumbing

• Electrical​

This service is ideal for older homes or properties being evaluated for insurance coverage.

Aging-In-Place Inspection
​"Aging in place" describes a senior citizen's ability to live independently in their home for as long as possible. Those who age in place will not have to move from their present residence to secure necessary support services in response to their changing needs. The inspector may recommend corrections and adaptations to the home to improve maneuverability, accessibility, and safety for elderly occupants and even non-elderly residents whose mobility is compromised.
Some such alterations and recommendations for a home include the following:

• Appliances

• Bathrooms

• Counters

• Entry

• Electrical

• Exterior

• Faucets

• Flooring

• Hall

• HVAC

• Kitchen

• Plumbing

• Stairways

• Windows

What's Included in Every Inspection?

• Full interior & exterior evaluation

• High-resolution photos

• Easy-to-understand explanations
