Unfortunately, he failed to note the draft coming from all the windows. After enduring two winters with cold air filling the condo, I replaced the windows this week.

I will not use him again.

We had these guys come out a few weeks ago just because we were about to purchase a home and I was…read morechecking out the home inspectors near me. The positives I will say is that Russ was very responsive from the moment we inquired about him and set things up and communicating with him. He'll even show up on time unlike most people nowadays. Russ did his job fine but me and my wife on site felt like he was not checking out other things that we noticed that were worth noting, picturing or documented so I could have a way to possibly get the owner to fix it before I purchase. All in all, Russ is friendly , his prices are fair and you'll learn a great thing or two from him personally which are great but just be vigilant to find and point out your issues and ask questions to make sure it can be documented.

You might be better off watching a few YouTube videos then doing your own inspection. They missed 2 active infestations, Mud daubers (wasps) in the side attic. Carpenter ants in the basement. Both which we found about a month after we moved in, on our own. The exterminator said that had the inspector looked, there was no way to miss that they had been active for quite a while. I could maybe let the wasps slide, you would have to pay attention to general details to find it. The carpenter ants we found after cleaning. Had they looked at the joists in the basement they would never have missed the 2 spots. He also missed the flashing around the exhaust for the heat and fireplace while on the roof, had to have that repaired the 1st year we were in the house. Then there was the wood above the entrance that had it's own damage from the carpenter ants that needed to fully be replaced. He will point out some minor things, outlets in the bathroom, missing window cranks/ broken gear in window. Gutters needing more hangers... To top it off his assistant (wife) tried to turn us into collections for non payment, when I called and paid the day after the inspection. We emailed them the credit card receipt, and was I was right. That that kind of mistake doesn't often happen, and they would update their records. He couldn't even own that one and say they were sorry. I'm sure they would have excuses for everything they miss, and blame the homeowner or God. I highly recommend finding someone else or brush up on YouTube, you can only have better results. The one star is warranted, this has to do with your home. Good luck, and congratulations on your upcoming purchase.

I used Home Inspector Consultants for my condo purchase in Downtown Chicago in the Fall of 2017. I…read morehave nothing but good things to say about that process. I attended the inspection of the 1 bedroom condo, and pointed out several items that I believed were deficiencies. The inspector agreed and noted them in the inspection report. This gave me the leverage to negotiate approximately $2,000 in credits. Fantastic experience. Recently, the Fall of 2021, I purchased a single family residence in the NW suburbs of Chicago. Based on my prior experience with HIC, I gave them a call and chose their basic home inspection package and the radon testing. I spoke to Larry who gave me a quote for $550 ($375 for the home inspection and $175 for the radon test). Set that up right away. **Pricing** Several hours later, I get a text message from Mike, who is the owner. He said there was a confusion with the pricing. The total was actually going to be $700. A bit confused I double checked the website, and the math wasn't adding up. Super confused, I asked why the website showed $375 + $175. He clarified there was some 'local fee' since their office was more than 70 miles away. Not ideal, but totally understandable. Considering my prior good experience with HIC, I looked past that miscommunication and confirmed the appointment. **Inspection** The inspection was less than 45 minutes for a 3000 sq ft house. Most of the time Jay, the inspector (not the same guy I had for my condo purchase), was here, he was distracted and chatting with the seller's agent. In fact, most of Jay's time at the house was spent talking -- not inspecting. He took good photos though, and verbally noted several deficiencies, although his report did not highlight these. **Radon** Jay set up the radon test in the basement. It's a shoebox sized machine that sits on a small table. It needs to be running for at least 72 hours. It supposedly has tamper detection. After Jay picked up the test, the report showed the house was within a safe range for Radon. After moving in, and considering the availability of at home radon tests, I decided to do my own test. The tests were showing radon readings in excess of 15.0 (the safe level for EPA is 4.0). Based on those readings, I asked a third-party to come do another professional test. That professional test came back 3 times the safe level. Ended up having to pay $1200 out of pocket for radon remediation and then make a claim on the Radon Warranty (thankfully HIC offers that), but the whole process was a HUGE pain and took several months to sort out. On a separate note, I would give Residential Warranty Services (the warranty provider for HIC) a terrible review, but I would be wasting my breath -- they already have tons of terrible reviews on Yelp and BBB. **Electrical** Jay inspected the main breaker panel in the basement. Even took photos and made a note about missing 'knockouts'. Based on a professional electrician, who came several months later to give a quote for something unrelated, those missing knockouts were actually related to breakers catching on fire. The electrician noted those missing breakers are a safety hazard. These are things that a professional inspector should be able to identify (or at least point highlight in their report) so I could negotiate a credit. I now have to pay $2,500 to replace the panel and have new breakers installed.
