Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: We offer quality, thorough pre-purchase home inspections for condos, single family homes and small multi-unit buildings (2 flats, 3 flats, etc.). Speaker of the House specializes in the older housing stock of Chicago and the close-in Cook Co. suburbs, with thousands of inspections since 1997. People love our attention to detail and authoritative recommendations for repairs, but we also have a passion for helping people enjoy their vintage homes - and that comes out in our insightful suggestions for future upgrades. We are concentrated in pre-purchase inspections, and as such are not a general contracting or estimating service. Reports are computer generated and thorough, with photos, but do not contain cost estimates.

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    My typical client is a person buying her/his first home, an older home that needs repairs. In many cases it's a "distressed" (foreclosure/short sale) property, or an estate sale/"as-is" transaction, in which the client doens't expect to have the seller make repairs. However the client still needs to know the home's condition. We do plenty of "market" sales as well.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Ask how much experience the inspector has. See if the inspector specializes in the type of property you have, or in the case of a large condo building, see if (s)he has worked in the building before. Ask which professional organization (such as the American Society of Home Inspectors, the most prestigious) the inspector belongs to.
