Our Comprehensive Home Inspection is the cornerstone of our service, designed for buyers of single-family homes, townhomes, and multi-unit properties in the Chicago area. This detailed visual examination is your first and best defense against unexpected repairs and costly surprises after closing.
We meticulously inspect all major systems and components of the property. This includes a thorough evaluation of the roof structure and shingles (walked on when safe), chimney, and flashing. Inside, we examine the heating and cooling systems, plumbing, and electrical systems for safety and functionality. We assess the foundation, basement, attic, and visible insulation, and evaluate the condition of walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors. We also check exterior elements like grading, drainage, walks, and driveways, as well as garage doors and safety features.
The process takes several hours, during which we document everything with detailed notes and photographs. You are welcome to join us on-site to ask questions and see issues firsthand. Following the inspection, we compile a comprehensive, easy-to-read narrative report with diagrams and photos, guaranteed for same-day delivery. This report doesn't just list deficiencies; it provides context and clarity, empowering you to make an informed negotiation or purchasing decision with confidence.
