The first house fell through and he only did the radon test. When the second test came around he gave a small discount since we used him again for the inspection and radon.

He explained everything and answered all of our questions like a pro. He took time to break things down and gave us his take on everything. He sent the report within 24 hours and it was very detailed with pictures and suggestions and FYIs. I would not hesitate to use him again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get an inspection.

First off: AJ E's review sounds like a pissed off realtor doing a hitjob review. Why? The seller's…read moreagent to a home I'm purchasing had very similar feedback and was on her toes. For the review: That's what we want. My wife and I set out to find an inspector that would give agents the Sunday Scaries, and that was accomplished because Tim does not play around. No corner is left unexplored and no door is left unopen. Tim meticulously looked through everything he could while explaining what he was doing to us as if we were students in an elementary class, making sure things were in layman's terms and understandable. Well appreciated. He has his tools, but what got us was when he busted out his thermal imager. There's a wall in front of him? Who cares, he'll just look past it anyway. Couldn't believe it when he was doing that, and thank goodness he did. Speaking of tools, they utilize a whole DRONE. Like the ones you fly in the air. They leverage it to inspect the roof and get into some areas that may be a bit harder to access. Talk about working smart. All in all, Tim was quick to follow-up and generate his report. 500 pictures. 500. That's not an extra 0 I added at the end. Thanks to Tim, we were able to find black mold and cracked Abstesos 9 x 9s in the basement. He even dismissed the nosy agent of the seller's who was there for some reason, and told her to leave so we could assess things with privacy. The seller's agent was still in the house and concerned about the work Tim was doing. THAT'S THE KIND OF INSPECTOR YOU WANT. Stacy, the owner, was quick to get us scheduled and super responsive with fast turnaround times. Thank you and job well done to the Pinnacle team!

Pinnacle missed some major issues with my home. I probably would have walked away from the deal or…read moreseriously revised my offer had I known them. It cost me around $13K to fix all the items that they missed. When my dad visited, he found all these problems within 5-10 minutes of going around the house (he's not even any type of tradesman or inspector!) Stacey seemed pretty dismissive about it on the phone. I would not recommend their services to anyone. Update: I was fine leaving this a little vague as a professional courtesy, but since Stacey think's it's acceptable to fabricate information, I'll spill the tea. This time, I'll attach the proof for good measure! First issue Pinnacle failed to identify was a crack in the foundation. Imagine buying a new home only to have your basement flood a few days later. At first I thought it was a broken sump pump, but when an expert came out to the property, he quickly identified a vertical crack in the foundation. Total cost $1,735 for the repair. Plus a few hundred for the shop vac and fans to dry out the place to prevent further damage. Second issue Pinnacle failed to identify was dangerous wiring in the kitchen. Multiple lights and appliances were on a single circuit. When you ran them simultaneously, the lights would flicker, and sometimes the circuit would trip. There were no more spots left in the panel, so an upgrade was needed to put each appliance on it's own circuit and bring it up to code. Total cost $4,250 and countless hours of sleep lost wondering if an electrical fire would start in the house. Third issue Pinnacle failed to identify was the removal of a load bearing wall. The home when originally built had a division between the dining room and the kitchen. A few weeks after moving in, I noticed that the ceiling started to crack in the kitchen area. The cracks continued to grow and I went into the attic to figure out what was happening. Up there, my dad and I found no additional support for the joists. They were thin and spanned the entire kitchen/dining room area. I had a structural engineer come out to evaluate, and he confirmed additional support was required. Total cost $5,900, and not being able to use 1/3 of the house for 4 days. The engineer's report was about $1,290, but I guess we can leave that off. the contract language is confusing as to whether they are required to inspect and identify this type of issue. In all honesty, if I knew my inspector wouldn't check for things like this, I would have picked another inspector. I don't care is an outlet is broken, or some paint is chipping. I want to know major defects or damage to the property. Fourth issue (new!) that Pinnacle failed to identify was a leak in the water line to my house. I signed up for a city service that warns you when your home uses excess water (sing of a leak). I got a few of those notices, and then called a plumber. The plumber found a gushing leak in the line on my side of the meter. Meanwhile, Pinnacle's inspection report claimed that I didn't even have a meter! Had the inspector found the meter, which was in the parkway and not hidden, and looked at it, he would have found that leak. After that gushing leak was repaired, the meter was still running when the water was off. This mean I have a leak somewhere between the meter and the house that I'm the process of fixing. Total costs so far is $1,058.55. This doesn't include services for leak detection and repair coming in the next few weeks. Stacey falsely claims that my damages are inflated, but you can add all of that up. At the time I wrote the original review, it was about $13K. It's definitely going to get pushed higher once the leak is located and repaired. So not only did Pinnacle royally screwed up my inspection, they also felt the need to disparage me online. Consider that if you want to give them your business.

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've used them previously for a commercial building inspection and was satisfied. Used them…read morerecently for a home inspection who breezed through over 4000 combined sqft including a sewer scoping for less than 2 hours (1 inspector). Either he was extremely efficient and good or just scratched the surface. Unfortunately, it was the latter. Inspection started at 9am and I arrived at the house at 10:45am to meet and talk to the inspector. He was already gone. I called and spoke to the manager who made all sort of excuses, said he was one of his best inspectors, etc. It was drizzling on the day of inspection so the manager promised to get out there with a drone following Monday- it did not happen. I also mentioned that Legacy inspection (who inspected my house, hired by the buyer) had 3 inspectors who spent 3 hours (!!!) throughly combing through everything- how can one person do similar sqft inspection in less than 2 hours is beyond me. Manager did not like this statement. But facts are facts. After moving in, as I expected, found quite a few things that were missed, including large (over 1") concrete settling gap in the garage perimeter, separating floor base boards in the basement, just to name a few. I'm still not certain of the roof condition. Even $100 charge would not be worth this inspection in my opinion. If this is how they treat a returning customer, don't expect much more as a new customer. Very disappointing to say the least. First inspection 4.5 stars. Second inspection 1 star. Maybe luck of the draw who you get but maybe lacking overall quality control of staff.

It was raining, so they even used a drone to check out the roof. We got a 124-page report the next day that was super detailed with clear pictures and arrows pointing right at whatever needed attention. The best part, though, was the video debrief with Charlie, the owner. He spent almost two hours walking us through everything, giving us his honest opinion on what was actually a big deal versus what was just code, plus realistic cost estimates and contractor recommendations. They went above and beyond. Seriously the best inspection experience I've had.

He was very thorough and professional. From the very beginning, he was very clear that we could voice any concerns throughout the experience. Whenever we asked about something, he immediately checked it out. After we received the report, the owner Charlie walked us through each of the items on our inspection report with us to make sure we understood everything. He even gave us his personal recommendations on stores/suppliers he uses. Overall, this was a great experience for me. Easy online scheduling, clear communication, timely reports, professionalism, honesty, and genuine care for the craft. I would highly recommend Chicagoland Home Inspectors to anyone.
