I recently had the pleasure to work with Castle for my home inspection. Communication beforehand was great, and on the day of the inspection they were a few minutes early which was great. There were two inspectors and they worked efficiently. They were very thorough, honest, and helpful in addressing my questions. I would gladly use them again! read more

Our realtor recommended Castle, and we were very happy with the detailed service provided by Jeff and Ray. They came out to inspect the first property we had planned to purchase, but when we pulled out of that one and eventually went with another place, we had Jeff there to inspect as well. Would trust their information and eagle eye if needed in the future! read more

Easy to schedule. Appointment was available within reasonable time frame. Inspector on time and did thorough job

We were very pleased with our home inspection, especially knowing they stood behind it with a home warranty. However, despite the warranty being offered, I completed the activation form twice and never received a response. I reached out to Dan at Castle--once again, another great experience with Castle--who provided me with a contact. Unfortunately, after calling them, I still did not receive a callback. While we were happy with the inspection itself, the inability to activate the warranty was very disappointing. read more

See all

Nazary was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He spent a great deal of time carefully checking everything and explaining in detail what needed to be fixed. I highly recommend Castle Home Inspection. read more

A huge thank you to Jeff and Evan for coming out on New Year's Eve! Being a first-time homebuyer is overwhelming, and the amount of info can feel like drinking from a fire hose, but they made it easy to understand. They were patient, professional, and very thorough in their review. We received the report the next day. We couldn't have asked for better service! read more

Evan and Jeff were my inspectors for my potential new place. They came and did my home and radar inspector this past week. This will be my third house I've bought in my life but by far my best home inspection experience. Both Evan and Jeff were extremely professional and thorough. They got to the location early and had started working on inspecting the roof and outdoor. Once inside they split up and ran multiple test on appliances and equipment but they still made time to check in with me throughout. They provided extremely detailed answers not just to my agent but also to me. Unfortunately in the past this hasn't happened. Either past inspectors at different companies spoke to my father or my agent. Even though I was buying the place. With Castle Inspections, Jeff and Evan made sure to check in to see if I had questions throughout the whole visit. I was already impressed with their insight onsite but then I got their report. Wow, as someone who loves details and a good visual, this was the icing on the cake. From top to bottom, corner to corner their report provided everything I would want to know and more on this property. It helped me respond to the sellers but it's also allowed me to make a game plan to address once I move in. My past experience, after you buy a place you find the small, not urgent but sometimes annoying items. It can be frustrating as you weren't expecting it. However, with this report, I know every crack, break, etc to the smallest item. To say it's impressive is an understatement. There's no one else I would recommend more than Castle Home Inspections. If you're on the fence or not sure who to trust, I can confidently say you won't go wrong with putting your trust in their hands. Especially if it's Evan and Jeff!! I can see why everyone at my agent's office loves them. And I know you will too!! read more

Fabulous. Smooth and easy. Thank you Tom. You explained everything so I could understand any issues.

The inspectors are good but the management is hostile and confrontational when you ask about mistakes or misunderstanding in the reports. I'd stay far away from this company and find more professional institutions. Run don't walk to find a better company. I spoke with one of the owners today who berated me and was very violently verbal towards me when I spoke with calmness asking questions not asking for anything. The attitude and our conversation on the phone was extremely unprofessional especially when you did not listen to a woed of what i was saying. You chose to be extremely unprofessional in your service and to berate a customer and call them a liar, when I did not ask for anything minus an explanation, shows the kind of person and business that you are. I would never speak ill of your subcontractor (1099) inspectors. They were good. It is you and the way you run your business that is unfathomable. Google readers, look at my other reviews. I am not a negative person and typically love to speak to quality service and businesses. This is not a customer focused company!! read more

We used Castle Inspection and could not be happier! Inspector Thomas was extremely professional and kind--he made sure to explain different parts of the inspection in terms we could understand. Our realtor was also very impressed and really liked her experience with Castle. One of the tidbits Thomas shared is why they do a top-down approach--which made sense! 10/10 would recommend. We were able to move forward with our new home with complete confidence as Thomas was very thorough and detailed. (Also, just very impressed with the efficiency--after filling a cup with water from the fridge, he used it to test the microwave!) read more

If you're in need of a home inspection before or during a home sale, look no further. Had the occasion to use them 2x this summer (In Duoage and Cook) and couldn't have been more pleased with every aspect of their service and report. Highlights 1. Competitive pricing 2. Online scheduling 3. They offered both home inspections and radon so no need to coordinate or find a "radon" company 4. They're open seven days a week I received the report 24 hours after the inspection. read more

Very detailed inspection and easy report We got the report back in a few hours. The inspector was excellent read more

Very knowledgeable and professional, very willing to include prospective owner in the process!

Great job Thomas was very thorough and did a great job. Happy to work with them for the second time.

This is our go-to home inspector! Very thorough and easy to schedule with. They also take the time to review all areas of concern.

They were great and helped up handle our inspection while out of town. Got the report right away and the radon report after 48 hours.

Evan, Jeff and team did a great job explaining their findings during the initial inspection, were incredibly helpful in navigating issues that arose during the inspection. They were willing to work on days immediately following holidays, and were incredibly responsive. Very happy we went with them! read more

We are very disappointed to learn how much Castle missed during the inspection of our new home. Castle provided a nice boiler plate report, but it did not mention the three dead trees on our side on the property line that cost $4,500 to cut down and remove. The garage floor that was in terrible condition that required resurfacing - $4,000. Front and back doors that will have to be replaced. Rusty garage doors - $3,600 to replace, a blacktop driveway that had a thin cap on it, undoubtedly to make it look good for the sale. That cap has already started chipping and popping off. Antique water heaters, no filtration system for the smelly well water. Would we recommend Castle to a friend? Not if we wanted to maintain the friendship. read more

I was so impressed with how seamless and at ease I felt with Evan and Nazary from Castle Home Inspections. We hired them for a home inspection and sewer scope and we're so pleased we did. At the end we had a wonderful clear and accurate report of everything we saw and need to address. We feel very comfortable with recommending this business to the community! read more

Jeff was great to work with. He was very knowledgeable, thorough and trustworthy. Had previous experience with new construction and made me feel like I made the right choice. read more

Dan (the Owner) came out to do an inspection for a Condo we have under Contract. On time, fair price (Radon inspection also was part of the service) and very engaging with regards to his observations. This is the 3rd time we've used Castle and we'll continue to recommend them to our family/friends. read more

We signed a contract to purchase a new for us but 19 year-old home and Dan and his crew were able to come out the next day and provide us with a truly soup to nuts report on the house. The report was available within 24 hours and was very thorough and complete. It was a pleasure to deal with real professionals. read more

Castle was great! We were able to get scheduled quickly and out inspectors were thorough and transparent on their findings. They gave realistic next steps for the issues they found. We had the report in hand same day! We would use Castle again in a heartbeat. read more

We used Ron from Castle Home Inspections for a home we are purchasing in Oak Brook. Ron and his team arrived on time and were extremely professional and thorough. They provided an 87-page report of issues identified with easy to read comments and photos. Although the property was being sold 'as-is', it was well worth the cost to get a comprehensive list of repairs needed. The inspection was completed around 5pm and I received the summary report the very same evening! Exceeded my expectation. Highly recommend. read more

Purchasing a home is one of the biggest investments ever made, and homeowners rely on a home inspection company to detect any areas of concern. Jeff and Vanessa were outstanding from start to finish. The duo arrived early, were efficient yet thorough. Most importantly; they were friendly, approachable explained everything in terms easy to understand. This company is top notch and I will continue to refer them to everyone I know. Castle inspectors validated my purchase and I feel very secure moving forward with the purchase of my home. Thank you for your platinum service and attention to detail! read more

Castle is thorough; but they lack specificity/prioritization in their ratings/assessments. Maybe its CYA for them/their company...see below They equate (via their "Fair" rating which says (their words) that something is functionally missing/not fully functional in your house) things like "possible roof leaks" with things like "light bulbs not working". Clearly some disparity here. I would STRONGLY recommend you take this company's recommendations with a STRONG grain of salt. My 2 cents read more

These guys were great. Ask for Evan and/or Jeff! Very professional and really helpful. Their report was exceedingly thorough. The house we looked at came back with 117 pages of things inspected. The house was ~4000 sq ft. I know that I'm definitely taking more precautions and have a much better idea about the reality of buying the home we were looking at. I will use them again in the future and be recommending them. read more

I am in the middle of buying a home and hired C.H.I for the home inspection. Tomas was very professional. Checked everything from attic to foundation cracks . Pointed out issues and explained seriousness of repairs. The report was easy to follow with pictures showing evidence. I highly recommend their services while picking a company for home inspection. read more

it was easy to get a quick appointment with Castle home inspection. our inspector Evan was great, knowledgeable and was open about issues found. Received the report the same day. Report was very detailed with photos and observation. read more

Dan and Thomas were amazing. They were extremely thorough and detailed. They took tons of pictures and provided detailed information about all the issues of the property. I would highly recommend castle! read more

Very pleased with their knowledge and experience. Castle Home Inspections was recommended by our realtors and they came through with excellence. I don't know if it is common for them to send 2 individuals, but that made the inspection go much faster. They did a great job letting us know about the potential concerns about the house and they also let us know that overall the house seemed to be in pretty good condition. There were some issues here and there, but for the most part the home is in great condition. Both inspectors were very professional, and gave us a verbal overview of the main concerns (which weren't many). I would highly recommend them! read more

Thomas was awesome. On time and professional and took the time to really explain everything he found during the inspection. Reports were delivered in a timely manner. read more

Highly recommend Castle Home Inspections. My home inspection was performed by Jeff. Jeff was extremely thorough, knowledgeable, professional and kind. He took the time to answer every question I had as well as provide detailed information on areas of potential concern. I had the most positive experience one could have with a home inspection. They are the best! read more

Next day response to expedite our purchase. Evan was very thorough and patient explaining what he was finding as we went.

Castle was referred to us by our realtor and we were able to get an appointment for the inspection very quickly. Evan was the inspector and he got to the home early to start looking around the outside of the house. When we arrived, he explained the inspection process and how he works. I liked that he was okay with us walking around with him to see what he found or we could relax and he would tell us his findings after the fact. Evan was extremely thorough and even gave us his feedback on areas that were exactly of concern but that we may want to get more information/history from the seller. We appreciated this level of detail and his recommendations. We had the inspection in the afternoon and had the results that night. I would highly recommend using Castle to anyone who needs to get a home inspection. read more

This was a condo inspection. Jeff arrived on time and got right to work. He encouraged me to ask questions and addressed anything I brought up. The report I received was thorough and provided a nice summary of issues to be addressed. After coming up with my list of items I wanted Seller to address, Jeff took the time to go through the list with me to come up with an estimate to address each item so that I would have a figure I could use to negotiate with Seller. That was very helpful. Jeff was respectful, thorough, professional, and responsive. I would definitely use him again, if needed. read more

Castle Home Inspections was recommended to us by our realtor, and we couldn't have been more pleased by the service. Jeff came out quickly and inspected a home my boyfriend and I are in the process of buying. This is our first home, so it was almost a "we don't know what we don't know" situation, but Jeff was patient, and explained things very thoroughly. He really took his time, going through every aspect of the house, inside and out. He caught many things that my boyfriend, myself, and both sets of parents missed when we toured. We were already in love with the home, but having Jeff look everything over made us much more confident. If you're looking to have a home inspection, I couldn't recommend anyone more. Buying a home is a stressful operation, even more so in COVID times. Working with Jeff and Castle Home inspections just made things that much easier! read more

Dan was prompt and thorough in his inspection of our property. Took the time to answer our questions and give us the information in language we could understand. We truly appreciate and can recommend Castle Home Inspections and Dan for your next project. Thank you read more

We have used Castle for 2 different home inspections. They are very detailed and go through every nook and cranny of the home. Their reports have details photographs and comments. Turn around for the report was quick and with a digital download it was easily shared with our realtor. read more

Castle Home Inspections was recommended to us by our realtor, and we couldn't have been more pleased by the service. Evan came out quickly and inspected a home I am looking at buying. This is my first home and I had so many questions and concerns. He went over and beyond to make me feel at ease with detailed explanations. Truly an amazing company to have that outstanding customer service in their inspectors. Will always recommend!!! read more
