About
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

Finally, my home inspections are focused on saving you money, helping you understand the home's needs, and bringing you peace of mind.
