If I could give A1 Property Inspections a zero star review, I would... My partner left the below review, but was told (via visible comment from A1) that it is a "spam review once again as has never actually has never been a client". Not only is this insanely improper grammar, but this is innacurate. We have used A1 TWICE, once for a property in Hammond, IN, and the second time for our new home purchased in November of 2022. As mentioned/stated by my partner- Beware! Do not use this company! They do not know how to do thorough, proper inspections and they will screw you over just to make a few bucks. Very unprofessional and incompetent. (Per OUR ATTORNEY) They also have loopholes in their contract saying they are not responsible for doing their job correctly or professionally. You have been warned! Pictures are worth a thousand words, and we have hundreds of pictures showing the water damage that was missed because Mike would not get on the roof of our house or properly inspect our attic. Mike and his team have created the perfect contract/documentation to get around any responsibility legally, and everyone needs to be made aware of this to avoid them at all costs. Do yourself a favor and find any other inspection company!

When an issue was noted, he went even deeper into the matter. I learned so much! I felt like I got my money's worth in education alone. The inspection report was thorough, professionally and expediently done, plus it came with a year-long home warranty. Great company to work with. Kudos to inspector Bill, who kept smiling in spite of my massive questions, each of which he thoroughly addressed. Due to the inspection, which noted roof and fireplace issues, the seller had to correct almost $ 20,000 of issues. GREAT to have spent a few hundred dollars for such a return! 5 stars -- I'd have made it 10 stars if that was offered!

I used Home Inspector Consultants for my condo purchase in Downtown Chicago in the Fall of 2017. I…read morehave nothing but good things to say about that process. I attended the inspection of the 1 bedroom condo, and pointed out several items that I believed were deficiencies. The inspector agreed and noted them in the inspection report. This gave me the leverage to negotiate approximately $2,000 in credits. Fantastic experience. Recently, the Fall of 2021, I purchased a single family residence in the NW suburbs of Chicago. Based on my prior experience with HIC, I gave them a call and chose their basic home inspection package and the radon testing. I spoke to Larry who gave me a quote for $550 ($375 for the home inspection and $175 for the radon test). Set that up right away. **Pricing** Several hours later, I get a text message from Mike, who is the owner. He said there was a confusion with the pricing. The total was actually going to be $700. A bit confused I double checked the website, and the math wasn't adding up. Super confused, I asked why the website showed $375 + $175. He clarified there was some 'local fee' since their office was more than 70 miles away. Not ideal, but totally understandable. Considering my prior good experience with HIC, I looked past that miscommunication and confirmed the appointment. **Inspection** The inspection was less than 45 minutes for a 3000 sq ft house. Most of the time Jay, the inspector (not the same guy I had for my condo purchase), was here, he was distracted and chatting with the seller's agent. In fact, most of Jay's time at the house was spent talking -- not inspecting. He took good photos though, and verbally noted several deficiencies, although his report did not highlight these. **Radon** Jay set up the radon test in the basement. It's a shoebox sized machine that sits on a small table. It needs to be running for at least 72 hours. It supposedly has tamper detection. After Jay picked up the test, the report showed the house was within a safe range for Radon. After moving in, and considering the availability of at home radon tests, I decided to do my own test. The tests were showing radon readings in excess of 15.0 (the safe level for EPA is 4.0). Based on those readings, I asked a third-party to come do another professional test. That professional test came back 3 times the safe level. Ended up having to pay $1200 out of pocket for radon remediation and then make a claim on the Radon Warranty (thankfully HIC offers that), but the whole process was a HUGE pain and took several months to sort out. On a separate note, I would give Residential Warranty Services (the warranty provider for HIC) a terrible review, but I would be wasting my breath -- they already have tons of terrible reviews on Yelp and BBB. **Electrical** Jay inspected the main breaker panel in the basement. Even took photos and made a note about missing 'knockouts'. Based on a professional electrician, who came several months later to give a quote for something unrelated, those missing knockouts were actually related to breakers catching on fire. The electrician noted those missing breakers are a safety hazard. These are things that a professional inspector should be able to identify (or at least point highlight in their report) so I could negotiate a credit. I now have to pay $2,500 to replace the panel and have new breakers installed.

I bought my condo in the summer time so the heat wasn't on, but I assumed he checked that it worked. WRONG! When I went to turn on my heat the furnaces didn't work and I've been told I need TWO complete new ones!! I went to cook and the stove doesn't work, so that's another expense. Finally, the microwave doesn't work either. Pretty much most of my major appliances has issues. Had I known, I would've asked the seller for a credit. Now I'm left on the hook for thousands of dollars in repairs. I'll definitely be reaching out for a refund, but if more issues arise I'll likely get my attorney involved!

From the initial phone call - one call - that's all it took. They took care of EVERY SINGLE DETAIL. I couldn't make the inspection, but my Father stood in my place.

Pictures taken of any areas of concern and an immediate report and followup email happened almost simultaneously. There was absolutely NO LAG TIME and it happened so quickly and efficiently that everything is right on schedule.
