I had Whitetail Home Inspections do an inspection on a home that I was looking to buy. They were…read moreincredibly thorough and came back to me with a 63 page report that included pictures, details, and even what kind of specialist I should contact to help me with each of the issues that were found in the home.

Matt was hired by the buyers of our home to complete our house inspection. After the inspection,…read moreMatt stated something to the fact that the blinds in our infant daughters room were broken but that he "put it back." I glanced in there and didn't see anything out of place and got side tracked with other things. A couple days went by and we got the report. I find by reviewing this that he had broke the bracket to my infant daughters blinds and put it back; not telling me or pointing out what he in fact did. Matt then proceeded to put it in the report with a picture of the blinds laying on the ground and a picture of the bracket he had broke stating it was insufficient. I know for a fact this bracket was NOT broken prior to him coming as we had the room professionally painted and had removed the blinds (not broken at the time). Additionally, it was obvious upon our arrival (after inspection) that all the windows were checked as all the window cranks were moved and now in an up position. There was no bother to put any of them back to the way they originally were. It was getting colder and colder by the day in our 5 month old daughters room and I couldn't figure out why all of a sudden this was happening. We were SHOCKED to find out today (3 days after the inspection) that Matt had opened the window in her room and left it unlocked letting in the freezing cold air. ITS THE END OF NOVEMBER in Iowa with temperatures dropping in the 30s during the nighttime hours. Leaving my daughters windows unsealed/unlocked is pure carelessness and sloppiness.

Allen is great. Man knows what he's doing. He's very thorough. We were very happy with his work…read more I'd highly recommend him.

That the jetted tub didn't work, not true, that the electrical panel was wired not to code, incorrect, that we needed to replace the stucco on the front of the house because of water damage, bit true, it was dirty, there was no damage. And the list goes on. We were out of town sellers, so the amount of stress this caused was needless and truly unappreciated.

He really worked with us to navigate the scheduling of the inspection while it was still occupied by the seller. The inspection was outstanding - it was detailed, precise, thorough, clear to read and understand. Because of this, it made our process for deciding to purchase the house clearer, as well as negotiate with the seller for them to resolve a few issues, some of them significant. Choosing Brickkicker for this part of our process was one of the best, and easiest, decisions we made. They were fabulous in every aspect of this process. We highly recommend them.

After sending my initial inquiry by e-mail, I received a phone call back from Mike within the hour. He was friendly and professional, and was able to schedule our inspection for a date that was only 4 days away from the date that I contacted him. Setting up the inspection was incredibly simple, and I really liked that all the pricing was clearly laid out on the website, so there were no surprises when he sent me the invoice. The inspection itself was extremely thorough, and the report was well-organized with all issues categorized by level of severity and accompanied by digital photos that clearly demonstrate exactly what was going on. Despite including an impressive level of detail, Mike had the report in my inbox within hours of leaving the property. To top it all off, 5 days later I checked my mail and was surprised to find a thank you card from Mike, letting me know that he appreciated our business and hoped we were happy with his service. Needless to say, this was an understatement.

Reached out to ask why he didnt mention them and he told me he may have missed them due to poor lighting or simply overlooked some of the issues as he simply can't look at everything.

Very professional inspector and very thorough. Jonathan is very helpful in explaining the issues…read morethat he sees and the steps needed to rectify the situation. Along with talking to him after the inspection, he sent us the full report that same evening. I've only had one other inspection done and I've also seen the inspection report from the buyer of our home. I was pleased with our first inspector and the things he pointed out. I was not impressed by the company who inspected the home we are selling. But Jonathan's inspection and report were VERY thorough. He spent time diligently searching for any possible issues, safety hazards, or potential future repairs needed. The report he sent included the problem, the location(s), pictures of the problems, solutions, timeline for when to remedy the problem, and detailed diagrams of the proper way to do certain fixes. I would highly recommend Illuminate Home inspections to anyone for their next home buy.
