He and his team are easy to work with and they promptly produce reports and he was available to answer any additional questions we had after our inspection. I would strongly recommend this business to anyone who needed their own house or a potential home inspection.

Wow, Wow, Wow. We were very impressed with Chris' work ethic. He is HIGHLY DETAILED and…read morePERSONABLE. There's no way a 1st time home buyer can notice these findings while doing a walk-through with your agent. He even took extra time to explain to my husband all the deficiencies in the home. Outside of the home inspection, we requested additional services. (Radon and Termite - 1st-time buyers: PLEASE GET A RADON TEST; SO WORTH IT) And the service also includes a "Request List" feature to provide your agent with a repair/replacement/monetary reimbursement report to provide the seller. This made the process seamless and kept the home buying progress moving!! Would DEFINITELY hire again and refer CBC Home Inspections to family and friends.

My spouse decided to be present at the inspection. From the very start Mike Conley broke a 2year old spigot and a huge amount of water came out and he tried to blame it on The Who ever originally put it on. Worked for two years and a week ago. Had an attitude when we stated he will be supervised throughout his inspection. He even suggested joist hangers, when a Beam would be recommended. Then after the inspection, Mike apologize and admits that there was no noticeable rust on the Spigot and did not know what happened. He showed up 40 min early on purpose. They do this to try to mess with things out of their allowed boundaries but lucky we were here. I told my Spouse to give him space while he conduct his inspection but after he broke things. We watched him during the entire inspection. I highly do not recommend, something fishy going on with this company. I have been in Management for over 16 years with affordable housing and have conducted HUD inspection for over 10 years. Keep your eyes open.

I hired Mr. ****** of Hawley Inspections LLC to perform a home inspection prior to purchasing my…read morehome. After purchasing my home, I was first made aware of foundation issues on April 1st when I had a professional contractor assess the crack with evidence of water intrusion in the south wall of my basement per my home inspection report completed by Mr. ****** on 2/14/25. Immediately upon entering my basement, the professional contractor was concerned with the bowing of several walls, horizontal cracking, and foundation shifting. He stated these issues are a major concern; three walls would need to be braced to prevent further bowing and a french drain and sump pump would also be required to relieve the hydrostatic pressure off of the walls thus reducing the risk of further damage. Per the inspection report, Mr. ****** only included the one south wall crack and per the contractor it is not an option to simply repair this crack. The total cost for bracing, the french drain, and sump pump installation came to $20,140, thus the lowest bid I received from all the contractors who inspected my foundation. I was asked by each contractor if I had a home inspection completed prior to closing and when I told them I had, they were appalled and said that the home inspector should have caught these red flags immediately, especially with the accompanying issues on the main floor. My mother and I notified Hawley Inspections LLC of the results we were given immediately. Mr. ****** finally agreed to revisit my property to take additional pictures of my basement on Friday, April 4th. During this visit, my mother asked Mr. ****** if the extensive amount of plaster cracks located in my ceilings and walls on the main floor were still considered normal when accompanied by bowing basement walls and Mr. ****** responded, "not as normal" (as mentioned in the inspection report, these plaster cracks are labeled as "typical"). The inspection report lists what foundation points the inspector shall inspect. These areas that Mr. ****** was to inspect were visible the day of inspection. My father questioned Mr. ****** about the appearance of the basement walls and Mr. ****** implied that there was no concern. Mr. ****** also had not conducted an inspection of my crawlspace nor the attic as per the contract leaving me unaware of other potential issues. He also neglected to detect five gas leaks in the basement costing $1,500 to repair (services provided on their website includes a standard gas leak test; I was not told and nowhere does it mention that there would be an additional cost to have this completed). After a mentally exhausting two months of ongoing correspondence with Mr. ****** himself and his insurance attorney regarding the costs of damages, the attorney has unexpectedly retracted all previous settlement offers. As of the most recent correspondence, his insurance attorney was only willing to offer a small fraction of what the repairs cost in exchange for me most likely signing a non-disclosure and not being able to share my story. In addition to the inspection report listing what foundation points the inspector shall inspect, foundations/basements/crawlspaces are key structural elements that are included in The Standards of Practice for home inspectors in Illinois and had Mr. ****** followed these standards; I would have had the option to either walk away from closing on the home or negotiate repairs prior to closing. I never imagined the process of purchasing my first home would be such a negative one. I want to share my story in hopes that no one else has to experience what I have gone through.
