So we gave them a shot and hired them. Best decision we could have made. The communication from Erich right from the start was excellent. He was always prompt with his responses and answering our question. On the day of the inspection, Erich was extremely thorough, informative, and knowledgeable about the entire process. He pointed out areas of concern and provided a very detailed report summary by end of day. If you are looking for an honest, educated and knowledgeable inspector for your home, stop reading this review and call Brick by Brick now.

A home purchase can be daunting especially when its older home, so having a a solid inspector is a must and your best opportunity to ensure you know exactly what you are getting into. My dad has been a realtor for decades yet he was very impressed with his findings as the level of detail among inspectors is not uniform. On top of all this, Erich is very friendly and a pleasure to work with!

My realtor recommended White Glove for a home inspection, and I couldn't be happier with the…read moreexperience. From the start, the client care coordinators were super helpful and courteous; I called back several times with extra questions, and they never made me feel like a bother. The company also has excellent communication, including sending helpful text reminders leading up to the appointment. Mitchel arrived early and had already begun examining the exterior of the home before I arrived. He was exceptionally professional and thorough, which gave me total peace of mind for a home built in the 1940s. At the same time, Mitchel was very personable and told me the truth about what he found, providing a level of honesty that is hard to find. He basically saved me from making a major mistake. I am so very appreciative. I especially appreciated White Glove's flexibility regarding add-on services. I had initially paid for radon testing and a sewer scope, but since the general inspection revealed significant issues, I decided not to move forward with them. Even though I'd paid in advance, one of the client care coordinators contacted me that same day to proactively process a refund for those services. I highly recommend Mitchel and the White Glove team for a smooth process and a reliable inspection!

I paid for a professional home inspection, and they somehow missed a foot-long gash in my roof…read more When I reached out to request a full or partial refund as a way to make things right, I was told that my home is under warranty and that the builder should fix it. However, this is a brand-new home, so nearly every issue identified during an inspection would fall under the builder's warranty. The entire purpose of hiring an independent home inspector was to catch these problems before they caused further damage. Unfortunately, because this significant issue was overlooked, we are now dealing with damage to our home, including drywall that needs to be replaced and repairs to our roof

I had a wonderful inspection experience using Chicagoland and Home inspectors.

I chose to have a debrief with Charlie and got even more insight on the concerns during the inspection.

Very glad my realtor suggested using this company!

Vince and Alex provided a thorough inspection of the home, with pictures and full documentation of each area. They conferred with one another when appropriate and kept us well informed along the way. They took their time and checked in with us when we had questions. The follow-up call with Charlie was excellent. He is thorough, answers questions, and is solution-oriented. The home-buying process is very overwhelming, but this was the most direct and easy to understand part of it all.

I already knew a fair amount about repairs et al, and Josh was able to answer my questions in detail, so it was clear that he knew what he was talking about. He didn't go beyond what could be fairly asserted, but did ensure that I knew what I should look out for as possible problems in future. I noted their attention to detail - e.g. there were written checks in place to ensure that lights were off, the thermostat was reset, and the door locked behind us. Things like possibly missing or broken screens, lack of outlets in certain areas, a step that was too high were all noted. The cost was very fair and the results were high-quality. I felt that it gave us the information we needed to negotiate fairly with the sellers. Basically, I walked away with a manual that I will refer to in order to ensure that I am checking potential problems and budgeting for future repairs. I could most definitely see asking for a return inspection in a few years to ensure that I was taking care of this very expensive purchase properly! The one VERY picky thing that I would suggest is a table of contents in the writeup, as I wasn't aware that categories of significant findings and advice for future repairs and maintenance were listed at the end of the report.

I found Mike on this site. www.independentinspectors.org…read more Members sign a "no conflict of interest" pledge. This was important to us because if you hire an inspector recommended by your realtor, they have a financial interest in concealing problems in your future home. If they find problems, and you decide not to purchase the home, the realtor loses their commission, so the inspector won't get recommendations from that realtor in the future. Also, I suspect he/she will eventually develop a reputation with other realtors in the industry for killing deals. So, essentially, you pay for the inspection, but the inspector really works for the realtor. Mike was awesome. We knew immediately that he was working for us, and nobody else. He was extremely thorough and professional. He took the time to explain issues that he found. His report was well organized, detailed and included pictures of some of the findings. He exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend him.

I learned so much during the inspection, not just about the minutiae of all the interesting peccadillos in the 1888 home I'm buying, but also his honest-to-goodness expert opinion on what needs to be addressed NOW vs "put that on the DIY list for later". I felt so much more comfortable and secure with my home buying process because Mike and his colleague Evan were there to explain it all. I also had so much fun???
