They come out in a pair of twos, one person will show you some items they inspected, while the other will inspect items making the whole process very fast. They brought a printer with them and printed out the inspection summary right in the home, super convenient. The crew I had was very polite and even answered some questions a week after the inspection about an issue I had. Overall a good experience. My only complaint would be that they seemed very rushed at times and they missed a few items I noticed and asked them to add. But as with any home purchase it's good if you are present so you can verify the inspectors are doing what you want them to do. The report was not as detailed as previous inspections in another state, but detailed enough on the problem areas.

Please do not use this company. They refused to inspect the foundation and crawl space because…read morethere was 2 inches of water in some spots and they were afraid to be "electrocuted". Their inspection report was very anemic consisting of only about 20 to 25 pages. They spent 80% of the time just showing me the electrical outlets and that was the least of my concern. Most everything they found was visible to the naked eye. I had to pay for an additional inspection for the foundation and crawlspace. And they refused to credit me or refund me a portion of the $600 fee. If you want a thorough inspection, please avoid this company. They missed several key problems.

Recently divorced, I was embarking on a home purchase and I required a home inspection. My formal…read moreneed was for an official home inspection; however, I was also needing to assess all the functional/operational details of my home that my ex-husband used to take care of. I'm pretty self-sufficient and a quick learner, but for decades I had not been actively involved in the details of maintaining the furnace, water heater, AC, sump pump, etc. So I needed to know what to look for, and the frequency of service required. John Reid with Bee sure Home Inspect Services performed my home inspection. He was very VERY thorough in his assessments. After he performed the inspection, he took the time to walk me around the house and show me all the details of his assessment -- what was good, what needed improvement in the near future, and what items were critical that needed to be negotiated with the seller, and why. During that time he also helped me to understand what to look for and the frequency of maintenance for the equipment and structure in my home. If you are looking for the right company for your home inspection, look no further. I would 100% endorse Bee Sure. They will take the time necessary to insure that you are well-informed and to give you peace-of-mind in your home purchase.

I recently purchased I recently purchased a home and this inspection company was recommended by my…read morerealtor. The inspection that they performed appeared superficial. They were there for about 3 or 4 hours and charged I believe $800. They missed many things in the home. Although they may have tested the oven to see if it works they did not notice that the handle to lock the oven during self cleaning was broken and that we would be unable to self clean the oven. There were many little things like that. However the major complaint was the roof inspection. We have a cedar shake roof, which I have never owned before. This is an excerpt from their report: Roof Age: 15 + years Visibility: Partial Limited by: Accessibility Roof Type: Gable Layers: 1 Viewed from: The Ground Roof Material: Wood Visible Shingle Condition Visible Shingle Condition: Satisfactory Cupped/curled: No Split: No Moss: No Sagging: No (Roofs may contain hidden defects that will not be seen today. If this is a concern, consult a professional. ) Due to the visual condition of the roof or the fact that it could not be fully viewed, I recommend it be professtionally evaluated prior to the closing. We were verbally told by the inspector that the roof was in "great condition"and had no problems. On the day of move-in, our homeowners insurance company Allstate inspected the house for our homeowners insurance coverage. The Allstate inspector reported "The roof of your dwelling or garage has moss build up." and threatened to cancel my homeowners policy if the moss was not removed within 30 days. It was clearly apparent from the inspector's photos that moss was present. Never having a cedar roof before, when the inspector told me the roof looked great, I assumed this was normal. After receiving many quotes in which ranged from $825 to more than $3000, we finally settled on a bid close to $2500 that did both moss removal and resealing. In this resolve the problem and Allstate was satisfied. Correspondence with the inspectors in an attempt to get some remediation failed. They fell back on their way out regarding their recommendation for a professional evaluation prior to closing and that the day they did the inspection it was raining and they felt that they could not make a proper evaluation. The problem with this latter excuse is that the Allstate inspection happened on a rainy day as well and if they could not make adequate evaluation why did they write no Moss in their report? I cannot recommend them for future home inspections.

They were thorough, easy to work with, and broke things down in a way that actually made sense. What stood out most was that they didn't just point out issues and move on, they also talked through possible solutions and helped me understand what was worth addressing right away versus what could wait. I left feeling a lot more confident and genuinely felt like I was in good hands. Would absolutely recommend them!

I have complete faith and confidence in Mike's expertise and have since recommended Chicagoland Home Inspectors to family and friends. The best value for the money in our home-buying process so far! Thank you so much, Mike and team!

Any concern brought up, I was either gaslit , ignored or the builder didn't follow through either b/c he forgot or didn't care ( who can say ? ). After two agonizing years, i finally moved in yet was brimming with questions that could only be answered by a respected 3rd party expert. I knew there were areas of the house that were not constructed properly yet having been gaslight so many times, I was confused on what all was defective vs. normal. Big thank you to Mark w/ Domicile, who was my Lead Inspector. Mark carries decades of experience in which I found him to be fair, firm, patient and very educative. Shout out to him for answering ALL of my questions (there were many). Mark's report was very thorough in which I can now focus on areas that need to be addressed. To anyone out there building a custom home, don't make the same mistake I did in waiting until after your move in / final occupancy to book Domicile. Very important! Thank you Domicile/ Mark.
