If you are a millionaire, then maybe this place is fine for you, but still wouldn't recommend. More detail: The actual workers and HR (especially Jessie, who is just very response and the best. seriously, she's amazing) of the company are more than fantastic and kind. In contrast, the owner or appraiser - I think Mike (he has heterochromia), was not only nasty to me, but also lazy. He did not send me an estimate back until I called the company a week later, even though he said he would send it back the next day. Its a shame that the owner is myopic, indolent, and irresponsible.

BUYERS BEWARE!!! John inspected our split level Urbana house we purchased in 2021. We chose him…read morepurely off our realtor's recommendation as this was our first home purchase. The first red flag was that he insisted that we did not attend the inspection. Now, this was 2021 and COVID-19 was still somewhat of a hot button issue, though with a vaccine out and available to anyone by this point, it should have been more obvious that this was going to be some sketchy work. He said in the email that he cannot legally keep us from attending, but would essentially have to remain out of the same room as him as he did the inspection. Nevertheless, we figured he was just still super cautious about the disease and wanted to keep more than the recommended distance at the time and decided we would comply with his request. Inspection came and went and we went through the buying process with few concessions. After close, we started to see how he missed stuff as well as blatantly lied on the report. I almost got electrocuted trying to install a new dishwasher because he failed to notice uninsulated wires pulled out of a electrical box under the sink. Had an electrician put wire nuts on the wires and close it up. We went to start the hot water heater, which he said in the report was functioning properly, and the pilot light would not stay on. Had a plumber come look at it and they said the thermocouple was broken and would kick out the pilot. I asked the plumber if this would have broken in the 2 weeks or so since the inspection and he said it was very unlikely. The worst ones are to come. John noted that there was no roof damage. Two weeks in, water started leaking into our kitchen. Had a roofer look at it and they said there was rot under that area of the roof. Asked if a home inspector should have know about it and they said absolutely, no possible way it developed between the inspection and then. If john had actually looked in the attic, he would have seen that plain as day. Had to pay a roofing company nearly 3 grand for that one. Most frustrating one, which full honesty, cannot be 100% the liability of the home inspector as we took his advice and should have checked it with others, was the crawlspace. There was a broken sump pump in a bucket buried in the dirt at the lowest part of the crawlspace when we moved in. John noted that it did not work, but was not needed. This caused us to not concern ourselves with fixing or replacing it with a proper sump. Four months after closing, we started noticing that our basement carpet kept getting wet, but we thought it was the dog at the time. Poor puppy as it was actually the crawlspace next to the basement filling up with water and flowing over and down into the basement! We didn't know this until the entire carpet was wet! I ran to the store and grabbed a pump to start getting water out of the crawlspace. We had to rip up all the flooring and replace it, as well as installing a proper sump in the crawlspace. Unfortunately, our HOI did not cover these expenses and we were out another 3 grand in repairs, plus the sump install. Note: we did reach out to john when these issues started happening (before the roof leak or crawlspace issue) and he offered to refund us, but only if we signed a very shady document where we could not sue him for any future issues due to his negligence. We obviously saw right through that one and did not sign. Tried to reach out to a number of lawyers and no one was interested in taking the case, my guess is because the settlement would be relatively low in the 10's of thousands and not worth their time. The cherry on the cake is that our realtor sent us a bottle of wine after closing with his and Pristine's logo on it. Obviously they get some kickbacks from working together and are probably just drinking buddies. Bottom line, if you are a buyer and your realtor recommends Pristine, fire them and find someone else! TO Sellers: You probably can't go wrong getting a pre-inspection done by Pristine. They will make sure they find nothing wrong with your house and hopefully your buyers don't read this review!

I asked Illini Home Improvements to insulate a room that is above our garage. This room was very…read morecold in the winter, and very hot in the summer. They came out and inspected what insulation I already had, and explained clearly why that insulation wasn't working. Basically, the builder had not insulated properly, either due to not knowing the proper way to insulate this type of room, or due to cutting corners. They explained to me what they would recommend, and why, and gave a firm estimate and time frame for when they could do the job. I agreed and their team showed up when they said they would, did the job, and cleaned up after themselves. They stuck to their quote even though the job took a significant amount more of insulation than expected. I was able to inspect their work via the attic, and they did exactly what they told me they would do. So far this room is warmer in the winter, but will never be as warm as the rest of the house due to being over a cold garage, and due to having inadequate heating vents. But at least the room is usable now and we can use a space heater as needed. My thanks to the team, and I'll call them again when I need something insulated. Note that despite the name of this company, they don't do EVERY kind of home improvement; this company specializes in weather-proofing/ insulation.

I was unhappy with the way the installer (his name was Chuck) handled the job. The screens were torn (not his fault), but instead of replacing them and coming back to finish the job as he said he would, he returned the broken screens to my porch about a month later with a note taped to it with a disconnected phone number. He didn't leave the packaging materials or instructions, so returning them to the company wasn't an option for me. I had to pay $90 for replacement parts, and Illini Home Improvement refused to accept responsibility for the job since the contractor was no longer employed with them. Frustrating to say the least and my doors are still not in working order.
