Jeff was fantastic -- very thorough, knowledgeable, and professional. He explained every issue clearly and made sure I understood the findings and next steps. He checked every part of the home, so we felt a sense of real security. The price was also right. Highly recommended. read more

Jeff and Dedrick of At Home Inspections are incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. We had them do two inspections in fairly short order. One was of a property that we ended up not purchasing because At Home Inspections turned over many, many issues that other inspectors might have looked past. This was a three-unit flat with some very complicated aspects. Jeff sat down with us for several hours and walked us patiently through the entire inspection report, enumerating not only the issues but the potential down-the-road repercussions. That report saved us a very bad purchase. The second inspection, of the condo pictured here that we did buy, was just as thorough. They inspected common elements like the pergola and stairs every bit as carefully as the elements we were fully responsible for, and we 100% trusted from that second report that we were making the right decision. I will always recommend At Home Inspections and I will always be grateful for their help read more

Jeff missed a large mice infestation along with several other issues we ended up paying thousands of dollars to fix. I would not recommend their services. read more

Dedric is a professional and I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you want prompt communication, quick turnaround on a report and a HIGHLY detailed and thorough inspection report Dedric is the guy to use. I worked with Dedric on a 2 flat that I was considering for purchase in the Canaryville neighborhood back in 2021. His inspection was extremely thorough and helped me ultimately decide to not purchase given the sellers lack of willingness to correct multiple areas of significant concern as identified by Dedric. The realtor I worked with (who also runs a property mangaement company) and has been in the business for 20 years said he has never seen a more thorough inspection report. More recently I worked with Dedric a second time in 2023 to look at home in the Lemont suburb. Once again Dedric was professional, thorough, detailed and timely with his communication. I set-up an appointment with his office on a Monday for the coming Saturday. He showed up early and spent around 4 hours looking over a fairly large 4000 sq ft property and the report was available for review before noon the following Sunday! If you need a home inspector Dedric is your guy. read more

Jeff Lisse is the best professional I've interacted with in -any- home-related context. Hands down. I genuinely wish you could give more than 5 stars. He's thorough, thoughtful, and incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. We were buying a place remotely -- not ideal! -- and Jeff went above and beyond to be our eyes and ears and gave us as much information as he possibly could. We were also buying for elderly parents, and he was so thoughtful and kind in responding to our particular situation; he looked at everything not just in terms of the reality now, the compliance with code, etc, but added an extra thoughtful lens of "future-proofing" for potential safety concerns down the line. He was incredibly generous with his time going over everything with us afterwards, too. There are not enough superlatives to describe him - he's great at his job and he's a good human being, too. I'm so, so grateful for all his assistance. If you're buying property and really want to know what you're getting into, you should run to engage him. read more

I'm very happy the way Deric came out to the property I requested and pointed out all the things in a professional matter definitely 5stars thanks again . The request I put in was also in range of 5stars they came out quickly just when I needed them too.. read more

I booked an inspection with Dedric Moore from At Home Inspections and my expectations were exceeded. Dedric was highly knowledgeable, attentive to details, and thorough in his inspection. He took the time to explain his observations, involving the client in the process - this works as an excellent resource for a new home buyer. He happily applied my discount and issued the report promptly. The report issued was very detailed and captured all observations with photos and comments. I highly recommend At Home Inspections and grateful to have worked with Dedric! read more

I wish I could give At Home Inspections less than one star. The inspector, Dedric Moore, tanked our home sale with a report that stated our mechanicals were at the end of their useful life. In fact, our furnace and air conditioner condenser were replaced in 2014, and a water heater was replaced in 2017. We had receipts as proof. In addition, he noted "Pest activity was visible at time of inspection (rabbit.)" This was accompanied by a photograph of a rabbit beside a tree in the yard. He also included photographs of birds nests in trees. It was beyond stupid. The buyers who hired At Home demanded a 20% reduction in the contract price. We terminated the contract and within weeks sold our 25-year-old immaculately maintained brick home to a different family, whose inspector found no significant flaws in our property. read more

Dedric is a fantastic home inspector. He was on time, thorough, and went above my expectations. He looked into everything, and explained things to me so I would understand. I could not have asked for a better inspector! read more

Jeff recently performed an inspection of a condo I'm hoping to purchase in Chicago. I attended the inspection and learned a lot about the place and it's condition, including areas I should pay attention to if I close. Really helpful, and a quality report to reference back to. And Jeff was really pleasant, knowledgeable, accommodating and timely. A+. Thanks Jeff! read more

We have used At Home Inspections for every home we have purchased or attempted to purchase. Dedric Moore is awesome! He is thorough, detailed and professional. He explains things clearly and provides the unbiased information on any defects that he finds in a house. I will continue to recommend At Home Inspections and Dedric to everyone that I know! read more

We had Dedric inspect our new home. As first-time home buyers, we were a little nervous and had lots of questions (we also had a rambunctious toddler who needed to tag along!). Dedric was extremely thorough and was very good at explaining things in laymen's terms. His report did not miss a detail. read more

Dedric was absolutely incredible! We are first time Home buyers and were very nervous with lots of questions. He showed incredible patience and attention to detail, and was very skilled at presenting issues in terms a novice could understand. His review was incredibly thorough and detailed throughout, i was able to breathe a sigh of relief knowing we had all important details to make the best decision possible regarding our home purchase! read more

I liked that Jeff was polite, professional and very helpfully at explaining problems as he was finding them during inspection. Thank you for wonderful service! read more

We had Jose Guillo inspect two homes we were looking to purchase. He's fantastic, arrived early to start on the outside of the home, he will take the time to explain things, addressed my questions as things came up, will review with you as he inspects, will let you know if things are an easy fix and most importantly, is extremely thorough. His report was also detailed and easy to follow containing pictures and explanations as to why they're being included in the report. We feel very well informed going into our home purchase negotiations. I would recommend Jose to anyone and will use again!! Thanks so much! read more

I have used Timothy W. Ebert for two home inspections and would highly recommend his services. He is very meticulous in his inspections and detailed in his reports. On one of the inspections, Tim and his team took 4 hours to methodically conduct a thorough check of a house and identify all the faults and necessary repairs. He patiently explains his findings and provides tips on how problems can be fixed. His inspection reports are 80+ pages long and filled with photographs and recommendations. Having had experience as a contractor, Tim is also able to provide guidance on approximately how much it would cost to have a professional fix a particular problem. I also appreciated that Tim was willing to make himself available to me for questions and guidance after he had submitted his reports. If you are looking for a good home inspector, you'd be hard pressed to find one better than Tim Ebert. read more

Jeff is the best home inspector I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He's thorough, knowledgeable, patient, and always mindful of safety. We hired him to do an inspection on a single family home. Even before the inspection, Jeff called me within an hour after I booked the appointment to understand some of the concerns I mentioned when talking to his assistant. On the day of, despite the cold weather he spent an hour with us just to inspect the outside, helping us understand more about the house. He did a great job explaining to us what is critical and needs an immediate fix v.s what is good to have but not a big deal. He also offered very practical advice and recommendations. We ended up spending 3 hours on the Inspection which truly provided us a valuable opportunity to learn the in's and outs of the house before we made the decision to purchase. The report came the next day with great detail and pictures. It was also apparent to us that Jeff cares deeply and takes pride in his profession(not sure but I think he also teaches inspection classes). I will definitely use Jeff again should the need arise. I also wanted to give a shout-out to his assistant Cheryl who was very responsive and made sure my concerns about the house were heard and addressed when I called to schedule the inspection. Thank you! read more

Tim, Emma, and Madison did an amazing job with our condo inspection! As a first time home buyer, the process seemed overwhelming, but the whole team made me feel at ease. Tim and his team would inspect a few rooms at a time, then go over the details of what he found so it wasn't too overwhelming at the end. As a contractor, he was able to provide insight into why things may look the way they did and what could be done to fix them. I appreciated the photos and recommendations in the 50+ page report for the condo. Even my realtor was very impressed with the attention to detail! I would definitely use Tim, Emma, Madison and the At Home Inspections team for my next inspection, and would recommend them to any friends or family buying a home! read more

Jeff is the ultimate inspection professional. He discovered structural damage on a property that we had missed and his report allowed us to withdraw our offer and get our earnest money back hassle free. It was a no brainer to bring him back for our second offer and his inspection gave us complete confidence in that purchase. He went above and beyond usual inspection services including answering any questions we had and even explaining various maintenance and repair techniques. Any future purchases we make will be inspected by Jeff as long as he's in business. read more

We were in the market for a house and got in touch with At Home Inspections after reading the reviews. Jeff Lisse came for the inspection and spent more than 5 hours at the site. His inspection was extremely thorough and gave a rough shock to the sellers. I am glad Jeff was at our side and his detailed report and analysis assisted us in finding the horrors that awaited us if we had bought that house. I would whole heartedly recommend Jeff and his team at At Home Inspections! ** Could have given more than 5 starts if possible!! read more

Fantastic experience with our home inspection. Dedric was very thorough in the inspection and went above and beyond to explain everything to me. I am a first time home buyer and had a list of questions for him and he not only answered the questions but went into detail on why certain things were good to know and what things not to worry about. I would 100% recommend At Home to anyone looking for a solid home inspection. read more

I just hired Jeff to do inspection for my second home purchase in 2019. He did the inspection on my first house in 2013 and I was pleased with service and hired him again. He has an electrical background which I value (many ppl are afraid of the big panel in a home but it's important to check it correctly so the place doesn't burn down). He also let me follow him around as he worked and taught me all sorts of stuff about the house. It was a huge help as a new homeowner. He is very knowledgeable (I'm an engineer so know a decent amount and found him helpful) His signup system is also so easy to schedule the appointment. Using at home inspections is a no brainer read more

We were so impressed with Jeff and his trainee/assistant Rob. First, when I was calling around a bunch of different home inspectors to get quotes, Jeff made me feel completely at ease as soon as we spoke. He took the time to get some details of the property, ask questions and even give some preliminary advice on the phone. His rate was also the lowest of the places I called (I would have chosen him anyway, based on his professionalism and helpfulness on the initial call). Second, the online scheduling system is really convenient, and availability was flexible. Third, the actual inspection - Jeff and Rob arrived on time, and seemed to have a really great, mutually respectful working relationship. They were both friendly and courteous, and very efficient and thorough. They spent close to 3 hours in our small condo and I'm confident nothing got by their eagle eyes. Jeff also took the time to informally answer questions that were really beyond the scope of the inspection - e.g. about pros/cons of different repair methods, how to improve the efficiency of our ventilation and water heating, maintenance suggestions. I would whole-heartedly recommend Jeff's company to any prospective buyers out there. He seems to treat his employees really well, and is a very pleasant person to do business with. read more

Best money I ever spent! Jeff performed a thorough inspection for us and showed immense knowledge about every aspect of the home. His expertise and recommendations helped us make one of the biggest decisions of our lives... and probably saved us A LOT of money in the long run! read more

As an investor, conducting a thorough inspection of a purchase is a critical part of the due-diligence process. Having been disappointed with other providers, I found Jeff online and gave him a shot given the all of the positive reviews. I found his prices to be very reasonable and booked the appointment with ease using his online calendar. On the day of the appointment, he showed up on time and immediately went to work. Like a forensic investigator from CSI, Jeff began to comb through the inner workings of the 3-flat, documenting every notable item. The following day I received his PDF report which clearly called out all of the items of concern. Unlike other inspectors, Jeff made a point to follow up with a call to walk through the report to ensure all of my questions were answered. Apart from his exceptional professionalism, Jeff has a great attitude and a very calm & patient demeanor. I enjoyed working with him and will use his services again in the future. Thank you Jeff! read more

I was not aware of so many things to check before I make a home purchase. This was definitely a huge learning experience and I was so grateful for the fact I was lucky and got a great inspector and he was training another inspector girl and I definitely got my money's worth this inspection! There was no rushing or pressure like I would hope! They took their time to explain a lot about this home and I truly feel much more confident about what to know and look for! Thanks! read more

There are not enough stars to show how much we valued our experience with Jeff. Thorough is an understatement, he is so attentive to detail. Jeff helped us through two inspections, the second being the home we currently live in. As first time homebuyers, we were completely overwhelmed by everything, and Jeff walked us through the entire process and what he'd be doing, while also offering advice on how to realistically resolve the items he noted. I mean I'm happy we bought our home, but I look forward to our next purchase, so we can work with him again. Can you inspect a home you already live in ;-) read more

Tim is absolutely thorough and knowledgeable. We have utilized his services several times and have been more than pleased. We highly recommend him; trustworthy and friendly. read more

We hired Jeff because the buyers of our condo used him and we saw the way he works. He is knowledgeable, thorough, friendly and very honest. He walked us through each item and told us what we can do to address it . He took his time and did not rush us at all. He was open to continue talking to us after the inspection and actually gave us some advice on a different topic. We would hire him again without hesitation. read more

Amazing home inspector! Do yourself a Favour and contact Jeff! Truly amazing and a pleasure to work with!

Dedric Moore did an throughout inspection on the house. Very patient, dedicated & nice. When we have questions, he would stop to explain. I gave him 5 stars. read more

Jeffe Lisse was great. He was polite, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Even best was that he was a really nice guy. I would certainly use him again. read more

Jeff recently did a home inspection of a condo my husband and I plan to purchase. He made us feel comfortable from the start. He explained the entire process to me in detail before we even scheduled the inspection, and he was extremely flexible with scheduling. During the inspection Jeff was extremely thorough, friendly, and explained everything to us in ways we could understand. He knows his stuff! We received the report fairly quickly and it was extremely detailed. If you need a home inspection, definitely contact the At Home Inspections team! read more

Dedric was very thorough and didn't mind all of our questions. His report was extremely detailed. He was very friendly and professional. Highly recommend! read more

Exceptional work done by Tim Ebert! He was able to come out at the last minute, and was very detailed and thorough. I definitely recommend and would hire again for a home inspection! read more

Jose did an excellent job. As we were inspecting a condo that we are about to purchase, we needed the inspection to be done well. Jose was very thorough - it seemed like he checked every corner of the condo for issues. He found a number of minor (and a couple major) concerns, and he calmly explained each of his concerns and what to do about it. My realtor was even impressed by the quality of Jose's work! I'd highly recommend Jose to anyone looking for a home inspection. read more

Dedric is a rock star. Not only was he extremely thorough in his inspection and happy to answer all our questions, but he also gave us tips on caring for various parts of the house along the way. For example, when he was inspecting the windows, he told us that the cranks on casement windows can break over time but we could go on the manufacturer's website and buy extras in case we need them. He walked us through the current state of the HVAC and electrical systems AND helped us understand how they work. It was an invaluable experience that made me feel a lot more prepared for homeownership. Dedric also helped familiarize us with the house, so we know what's on each circuit breaker, where the meters are located, the placement of the outside spigots, and all those little things you'd eventually figure out, but it's nice to know up front. I highly recommend asking for Dedric if you need a home inspection. He's awesome. read more

Updating this review to add that I've called Jeff a couple more times since we first used At Home Inspections before buying our house last December and he's been great with us - patiently answering questions and helping us out in any capacity he can. Our experience with Jeff was great, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a thorough and professional inspector. Thanks again Jeff! read more

Jeff Lisse saved my wife and I from a potentially catastrophic buy and helped us find our dream home. Whenever I reflect on the summer we bought our home, I shudder to think how close we came to making a decision that we would have regretted for many, many years and how Jeff alone spared us that colossal burden with his sharp eyes, his thorough report, and his unparalleled expertise. The veteran Realtors we worked with on both of the homes we had under contract had never seen a home inspector as thorough as Jeff. He cataloged every detail of each home, major and minor, and explained all the factors we needed to be aware of. Anything we didn't understand, Jeff patiently reiterated, using concrete examples. In the first home we had our hearts set on, Jeff detected a series of anomalies that were not at all apparent to first-time buyers like ourselves. Without counseling us one way or another, he frankly delivered the exhaustive list of issues (most of them not apparent to us at first glance) with the home and told us the kinds of issues likely to crop up in the future. With the facts before us, we quickly realized exactly what we were buying into and we backed out of the deal. On the second place Jeff inspected for us, he was no less detailed or thorough, but all the issues were minor or inconsequential. Jeff made us feel safe about buying the home that we bought, and not a day goes by that we the place--or the work Jeff did inspecting it--for granted. Jeff is among the most knowledgeable and informative people I've met in the real estate business and I don't want to think where we might be without his exceptional level of skill. Jeff is completely invested in his work and his clients. He was always available for information about the home buying process (exceptionally useful to first-time buyers), and very generous with his time answering our questions. Jeff is the best at what he does. I'd never make a real estate decision without consulting him. read more

Jeff Lisse (At Home Inspections) is an amazing home inspector: knowledgeable, personable, thorough, and completely on your side in the purchase process. He has deep experience in the critical areas of home inspection: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and construction. He creates a very thorough report, with detailed color pictures, for your negotiation. He also creates a tailored home maintenance plan--something I wasn't expecting. Jeff literally saved us thousands of dollars. We did end up buying the home he inspected, but not before the developer fixed several important things that his team had missed. The place where Jeff really went above and beyond the call of duty was in our final negotiation phase. The timing was tight, as the developer had dragged his feet on finishing the punchlist. We weren't confident in our ability to determine if some of the items were completed properly; Jeff came back on short notice and gave the key areas another thorough inspection. We've recommended Jeff to several friends, but wanted to make sure the Yelp community had the full benefit of Jeff's amazing talents. Thank you, Jeff!! read more
