Master Home Inspectors

Introduction: Choosing the best home inspector can be difficult. Different inspectors have varying equipment, experience, knowledge, reporting methods, standards and pricing. I am glad to answer any question you have to help you choose the right inspector. I have over 25 years of experience in the construction field, for which time I was a custom home builder and a general contractor. For the last seven years, I have been a professional building inspector in the state of Illinois and Indiana. I write my reports on-site and off-site so that I can give you a proper inspection report. While some inspectors who write the report on-site are competent and knowledgeable, an inspection that depends entirely on the inspector's knowledge base and immediate response to the situation is at best incomplete. I take my time inspecting your new home, multiple-unit building, condominium or commercial property. The inspections last from 2 to 3 hours, and you will receive your inspection report on-site or within 24 hours from the inspection. At Master Home Inspector's, we go through rigorous training in numerous hours of continuing education classes where we participate by: - Sharing pictures and thoughts with other inspectors - Consulting with builders and pest control specialists - Looking up codes - Investigating appliance models - Reflecting and utilizing any other resources we feel the situation calls for I bring an arsenal of testing tools, measuring devices, knowledge and experience to every inspection. I inspect the following areas: - Roof - Vents - Flashings - Trim - Gutters - Downspouts - Skylight - Chimney - Roof penetrations - Decks - Stoops - Porches - Walkways - Railings - Eaves - Soffit - Fascia - Grading - Drainage - Basement - Foundation - Crawlspace - Water penetrations - Heating and Cooling Systems - Main Water Shut-Off Valves - Water Heater - Plumbing Fixtures and Faucets - Drainage Sump Pumps with Accessible Floats - Electrical Service Line and Point of Entry - Meter Box - Main Disconnect - Service Amperage - Electrical Panels - Breakers - Fuses - Grounding - Bonding - GFCIs - AFCIs - Fireplace Damper Door and Hearth - Insulation - Ventilation - Garage doors - Safety Sensors - Openers and much more!
