Great experience with Chicagoland Home Inspectors. John Olson was thorough, knowledgeable, and professional. He walked us through everything he saw and answered all of our questions. As first time homebuyers, John really gave us peace of mind. The inspection process on-site was a great experience and the inspection report itself was also great.
Frank was awesome, and went to great lengths to pull every possible problem with the home we were purchasing. He was quick to give a likely diagnosis, and recommend action for any needs. That said, he also wasn't fear-mongering, and didn't make a big deal out of things that were easy fixes. It helped that he invited me to walk with him throughout the entire inspection, so I could hear from him exactly when he saw things. Would use again!
As first time home buyers, we would highly recommend Chicagoland home inspectors. We had a great experience with our inspector, AJ. He was extremely thorough and did an excellent job communicating throughout the inspection, explaining what he was looking at and helping us understand how to prioritize any issues that came up. He took the time to answer all of our questions at the end and made sure we felt confident about the process. On top of that, he delivered a full detailed report the next day which helped keep everything moving in our home buying process. We appreciated his professionalism, attention to detail, and responsiveness. Thanks again!
I highly recommend Chicagoland Home Inspectors! We used them to inspect a condo purchase in the city. We had James F. perform the inspection. He was very, very thorough and provided a detailed report the same day that we had our inspection. He was also very responsive on some of our follow up questions. He also provided his perspective on what he would prioritize to fix/upgrade, which we found very valuable. Again, highly recommend!
Pauric was absolutely incredible for our home inspection. He was ridiculously thorough--he caught things we never would have noticed even as folks who work in the industry. He took the time to explain it all in a way that actually made sense to us. Super knowledgeable, but also very human about it all. What really stood out was how well he communicates--not just with us, as first time buyers, but also with our agent. He made sure everyone was on the same page, which we really appreciated. You can tell he genuinely cares about his work and his clients. 10 out of 10 would recommend Chicagoland Home Inspectors to a friend.
Highly recommend getting an inspection done by Chicagoland Home Inspectors! There is so much information on their website to understand what equipment they use, the scope of their inspection, transparency with pricing, the ability to book your inspection online, and other items that differentiate them from competitors like E&O insurance. The price for their services is fair and competitive with the market. The quality of work, attention to detail, use of tools/technology/equipment during the inspection, careful documentation, and timely issued report will definitely show the value of a home inspection with this company. Chicagoland Home Inspectors sent two NACHI certified inspectors, AJ Gilbert and Vince Miller, to look at the home. Both were incredibly knowledgeable and took time to make sure my husband and I understood the implications of the findings of their inspections. They were very detailed and made sure to give us the main takeaways for each section of the home. Both demonstrated that they enjoy the work that they do, are good at what they do, and value educating future homeowners about their purchase. The inspection report included photos, videos, and documentation about where main utility shutoffs were in the home. Thank you, AJ and Vince! Charlie Bellefontaine is the owner of the company and was very quick and available to answer questions before we hired his company to inspect the home. He has done a great job of hiring high quality inspectors to be on his team, providing information for a buyer to make an informed decision about inspection findings, transparency in pricing and services. He also initiates the option to discuss the inspection report personally with him. From the start of the process of researching inspection companies, completing the inspection, receiving the report, and discussing the report, Chicagoland Home Inspectors provides support through every step that completely exceeded my expectations. I would recommend these guys in a heartbeat. If you are looking for a home inspector, do your research and you will find that Chicagoland Home Inspectors are a company with integrity that brings the best value.
Got an inspection done by Chicagoland Home Inspectors Inc. They did an excellent job! They were very flexible with our schedule. John our inspector was very friendly, knowledgable, punctual, and gave us great tips for fixing our future home. I was very pleased and would definitely use them again. Highly recommend!
John and (I'm so sorry I'm blanking on the name of the new inspector who was shadowing him) did an awesome job. They were extremely thorough, professional and kind. John even tightened a loose doorknob for us! We feel so confident proceeding with this purchase now that we have the inspection report. We haven't done the debrief call to discuss the results because we were able to get so much information during the inspection itself, but it's great knowing we have that option too.
My fiancé and I had our home inspection done last week and Vince was amazing! He was informative, knowledgeable, and thorough. Also very patient and friendly, which is nice given how stressful the home buying process has been so far for us millennials. The home we're in the process of buying is over 140 years old so we wanted to make sure everything was in order. After the inspection, we scheduled a time to speak with the owner, Charlie who walked us through everything more in depth which was super helpful. In this housing market, I feel like every aspect has been a whirlwind of emotions and craziness but I know we definitely appreciated their authenticity and kindness. The attention to detail and the overall care for the well-being of their clients is unmatched. Thank you guys again so much for giving us peace of mind and being so helpful!
They equipped us with the facts we needed to back out of a contract. We found a house of our dreams, but the inspection revealed so many big items we just couldn't justify buying it. Vince was thorough and took time to talk me through each of his remarks. There was no sense he was trying to get out and move onto the next job. That made me feel like we were getting our money's worth in service. When the report was issued the next day, Charlie (owner) offered a free Zoom call to review it, as is standard for all their clients. It was after our call with Charlie we decided we had enough information about how much each item mattered and what repairs would cost. They gave great recommendations and overall we felt the process was extremely educational and a critical piece of our home buying process. When we find the next dream home, we'll be equipped with more knowledge and certainly call on them again for another inspection. Highly recommend. Good luck out there - it's a daunting process, but you can't go wrong if you hire the right people.
I don't usually write reviews, but the exceptional service and character of the people we worked with in this experience definitely warranted one. As first-time homebuyers, we quickly found the process to be overwhelming with so many details to keep track of. However, the inspection was a standout experience. Glen's service was exceptional--thorough, patient, and professional. Our agent was even impressed, noting that Glen used tools she'd never seen before. The inspection report he provided was not only detailed but also well-organized and easy to understand. Afterwards, Charlie, the owner, personally reached out to offer his time to review the report with us. I really appreciated his depth of knowledge, patience, and transparency during our call. It gave us a lot of confidence in their service and reassured us about our next steps in the home-buying process. 5/5 stars--well deserved. I highly recommend their services. Their prices were also very competitive compared to other quotes we received. Worth every penny.
Glen-Carl Dahlman just performed a home inspection for us as buyers, and was amazing! He made us feel welcomed to be a part of the inspection, was very patient with our questions and concerns, and impressed us with his thoroughness and attention to detail! The report also was provided in an amazing tool with a rich set of features allowing us to focus on specific severities, areas, and other pivots within the report tool. We were very happy with the report layout and detail, and Charlie himself did an amazing job walking through it and providing quick tips from a wealth of experience quickly. One other thing that impressed me is their integrity. When Glen realized we didn't need some of the extra services we paid for, he told us and Charlie quickly gave us a refund for those extra services that weren't needed. Highly recommend this company for home inspections.
We had a condo inspection and sewer scope done by Michael. As first time buyers he took time to explain how each system works in the home and suggested fixes for some minor issues he found. He was extremely informative and answered every question we had. The report we received was very detailed and included high quality photos of each system/item tested/examined. The price might seem a bit higher than others but the quality of service is well worth it.

We had a great experience with Chicagoland Home Inspector Inc., and specifically with inspector Tim Heise. Tim was incredibly thorough and took his time walking us through the home, pointing out potential issues and making sure we truly understood what we were seeing. He was especially helpful in explaining potential drainage concerns in a clear, easy-to-understand way, without making us feel rushed or overwhelmed. His patience and willingness to answer questions made the entire inspection feel collaborative and reassuring. We highly recommend Tim and his team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy home inspector. read more

This is my second time getting the opportunity to work with Vince! He consistently goes above and beyond and is incredibly thorough in his report, listing things big and small and rating things from serious concerns to moderate or minor. I scheduled a call with Charlie after receiving the report to ask questions about problems I had after reviewing the report and even hear things he believed were important for me to consider, as well as recommendations on who could support me further. I don't think I could ever work with any other company after having had this experience with Chicagoland Home Inspectors. read more
Could not say better things about Tim and Chicagoland Home Inspectors. Tim arrived early and walked us through how everything was going to go before we went in. He was incredibly approachable and went through everything step by step. He let us as a million questions and was incredibly knowledgeable. Inspection was super thorough and lasted about 2 hours (3bd condo). We received a detailed report after with all of the mild, moderate, and severe flags in a super easy to read/digestible format. 100% recommend!! read more

We just completed a home inspection with Chicagoland Home Inspectors on Tuesday 12/17 for a potential home purchase in North Center. This would be our first home purchase so this is a major deal for us as well as there are endless topics, situations that we are unfamiliar with the severity of certain repairs, conditions or estimates to be able to fix if we were to proceed with the property. After finding Charlie and team through Yelp, I went to their website and scheduled an appointment for the very next day. We ended up having to reschedule for early the next week due to a scheduling conflict on the realtor side and I called Charlie directly, he immediately answered and was so kind about getting the scheduled adjusted. We worked with Tim for the inspection itself and WOW - Tim knocked the inspection out of the park. He was early to the appointment when I arrived and was already inspecting the roof with his drone. We went into the unit and spent 3 1/2 hours going thoroughly through all parts of the home (inside, outside, common spaces, downstairs) documenting everything he could see. He allowed me to follow along, ask a million questions and kept things simple explaining what he was doing, an issue he may have seen and how severe it was. After the appointment was over, he got us over the full detailed color coded report with photos and videos and explanations early that same evening and then we received a text to set up a call with Charlie to walk through everything in more detail. We had that call today and it went for 1 1/2 hours with Charlie thoroughly walking through the report, severity of the issues, estimates on how much it would cost to repair, suggestions for the type of contractors to do the work, how to put together an action plan to tackle everything and answered all of our questions to make us feel so comfortable. I could not be more thankful for Charlie, Tim and the entire team for making this experience so seamless, thorough, and kind. If you are looking to have a home inspected, I urge you to stop searching and just hire Chicagoland Home Inspectors - you will be so very thankful you did. read more

This was a great experience, especially as first-time home buyers. Tim came out for our home inspection and was incredibly thorough, was happy to answer all our questions, and did a great job uncovering issues. We also had our post-inspection consultation and talk with Charlie, who was very nice and pleasant to speak with. He gave us a run down of every item we wanted to discuss and is a great resource to ask for advice. Highly recommend Chicagoland Home Inspectors, Tim, and Charlie! read more

I 100% recommend using Chicagoland Home Inspectors. My husband and I worked with Vince during the home inspection. He really caters to his clients. He takes his time to make sure he checks everything. Anytime a concern of ours came up, he made sure to address it. Vince took his time to explain anything that we did not understand. After the inspection, instead of rushing off after hours of looking over the property, he stayed and answered all of our immediate questions. He provided his insight and knowledge, which was appreciated. Vince even called a couple of hours later to follow up with us in regards to questions we had. There is a lot of information to take in during an inspection. It was great to be able to set up a call with Charles to review the inspection report once we received it. He was great and went over our concerns with us and referred us to companies that could address anything we were worried about. Chicagoland inspectors are extremely thorough, patient, and helpful. We will definitely be using them again in the future. read more

I was searching through Reddit for highly recommended/best home inspectors for Chicago. Many people, including a realtor attorney, recommended them because of their expertise, and extensive reports. I had an okay experience with my previous inspector 6 years ago. This time around, I absolutely loved Tim and Glen. They did a very extensive inspection of the home. Tim spent time to discuss the issues with focus on big issues and even showed me as well. This was so different than our prior experience. They looked at everything and were so detailed, and that included the report that Tim provided. Would highly recommend them, especially choosing Tim or Glen! Extra Benefit, my wife and SIL loved Glen and his added input of home tips/design. read more

Glen was extremely helpful and explained all the concerns we had when walking through our first home inspection. He patiently and clearly explained what the process entailed as well as addressed all questions we had as we walked through the unit. The experience was great and it didn't end when the inspection was over. The inspection documents were easy to interpret and Charlie (the owner) even went through the report with us so we could understand the report to its fullest extent. The easy to read report + the continued support from Glen and Charlie is what made Chicagoland Home Inspectors stand out and give us the piece of mind needed when diving into our first home purchase decision. read more

I'm so happy I took the time to do my research and find Charlie and Chicagoland Home Inspectors, especially as the inspection companies my realtor recommended all had many horror stories despite their 4.8 star reviews. With Chicagoland, the online booking process was so easy and the pricing was very transparent. I was able to land an appointment the next day with Tim H, who showed up promptly and got to work inspecting the property immediately. We followed Tim around and he patiently and thoroughly answered our questions while explaining everything he was looking at/testing. I felt that he took his time and didn't rush through the inspection at all. We reviewed the report over Zoom with Charlie the next day; he was friendly, patient, and let us know which findings needed to be addressed and which were not urgent. As a first time homebuyer, this process is overwhelming but Chicagoland Home inspectors made this part of it all very smooth sailing. Thank you Charlie and Tim! read more
We are first time homebuyers (hard to believe) and some of this whole process is completely lost on us. We scheduled our home inspection with Tim Heise. Tim showed up on time and he was very thorough (at least to my untrained eye). He allowed us to see what he was doing if we wanted and took the time to explain how these systems work, what to expect, etc on them. This is definitely needed on an HVAC system and I really appreciated that he took the time to explain how some of it works and show us a few things. When he found something that needed some attention, he took the time to explain everything to us. Very thorough and he even caught a few small things that maybe some others didn't catch before. He was very personable and easy to talk with, but at the same time very professional. Definitely would recommend to anyone needing a home inspection in the area!! read more

Our inspector, Michael Schejbal, was extremely thorough, professional, and communicative. He went above and beyond, helping us to understand potential structural issues with the building that we were looking to purchase a condominium in. To our surprise, he brought a drone with him and also inspected the roof, even though this is beyond the scope of what is called for in a condo inspection. To top it off, the owner of the company, Charlie, was also in touch with us personally to take care of our needs and to explain the report results to us after the inspection. This additional consultation, which was complimentary, was a pleasant surprise that added a great deal of value to this service. Although Charlie's website claims they are not the lowest cost option for an inspection, we found their prices very reasonable and, in fact, less expensive than the inspection option proposed by our realtor. read more

Scheduling was a breeze and when I forgot to add something to our inspection, adding it was seamless. Charlie is delightful and responsive. Fast Forward to today, inspection day! Dave, Vince, and AJ spent about 4 1/2 hours going over every inch of our hopefully new house. Each took us aside to review pictures, give feedback on how to improve things and what to prioritize. Buying a century old house can be scary but having Dave, Vince, and AJ examine it too to bottom, I am confident they caught any and all concerns. The report is amazingly thorough (it was around 115 pages!) Even today Dave is answering my questions and offered to set up a call to go over the report with us. While I don't want to move soon, I will recommend them to everyone and would use them again. Thank you so much! read more
