Introduction: I am a licensed inspector AND also a licensed INSTRUCTOR in the state of Illinois on Home Inspection topics. We service clients who want thorough inspections for their large investment. Warning: Do not go for cheapest! Article warning May 18, 2018 said: "...an investigation by Checkbook Magazine found the people you hire to catch flaws may not spot or even look for clear signs of trouble." (See full article link in my profile.) I look for potential problems that may not surface for years. Five years down the line, our clients are happy they went for thoroughness instead of cheap. I am a trained certified energy auditor and a thermal imager to find SOME issues hidden behind walls. . Some reports are highly confusing, with no pictures. My reports are so user friendly that one of my clients told me that after reading my report, she knew her house better than she knew some of her friends! I have been in the construction field for over 20 years. When I decided to be a home inspector, I enjoyed the privilege of helping new homeowners to learn about their prospective new home. They come away much more informed about the value of the buy, and also how to maintain their home with information they would never have known. All of my clients thank me for helping them out on their buy, ability to renegotiate fix and repair or price, and increasing their knowledge about homes in general. I enjoy helping.
