Congratulations! The offer you made on that home has been accepted.
After the initial giddiness fades you realize that you have some
important decisions to make. Which professionals (attorney, lender,
inspector) are you going to use to protect you and your family as you
embark on the sacred ritual of finding a home for them? We realize that
the safety of your family, your financial well-being, your comfort,
and a big chunk of your future are all riding on the advice you get
after you sign on the dotted line.
We are highly trained and have performed over 10,000
inspections in the Chicagoland area over the last 25 years. We do much
more for you than the standard home inspection. We not only look at
the little things; electrical outlets, plumbing fixtures, appliances,
etc.; we also look at the home as a collection of systems that
interact with each other in ways that are sometimes difficult to
predict. We understand how combustion appliances can negatively impact
the air you breathe; we know how a poorly designed HVAC system can
make you unhappy in summer and winter; we've study the relatively new
discipline of Building Science; and we use all the technology in the
industry, including thermal imaging, to help us in our detective work.
Our deep construction background and our vast experience enables us to
pull the maximum amount of information from the home and to put it
into a coherent narrative that you, your attorney, and perhaps your
realtor can all use to improve your position in the post-inspection
negotiations. We routinely save our clients tens of thousands of
dollars by ferreting out the foibles of the home, documenting them
with photos, and writing them down in a solid report that is
technically accurate while being easy to understand.
