I already knew a fair amount about repairs et al, and Josh was able to answer my questions in detail, so it was clear that he knew what he was talking about. He didn't go beyond what could be fairly asserted, but did ensure that I knew what I should look out for as possible problems in future. I noted their attention to detail - e.g. there were written checks in place to ensure that lights were off, the thermostat was reset, and the door locked behind us. Things like possibly missing or broken screens, lack of outlets in certain areas, a step that was too high were all noted. The cost was very fair and the results were high-quality. I felt that it gave us the information we needed to negotiate fairly with the sellers. Basically, I walked away with a manual that I will refer to in order to ensure that I am checking potential problems and budgeting for future repairs. I could most definitely see asking for a return inspection in a few years to ensure that I was taking care of this very expensive purchase properly! The one VERY picky thing that I would suggest is a table of contents in the writeup, as I wasn't aware that categories of significant findings and advice for future repairs and maintenance were listed at the end of the report.

Fantastic crew. Very detailed reports, very friendly. Will be working with them again in the future.read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!…read more Our inspectors, Tim and Alex ,were great--on time, super thorough, and didn't mind at all when we tagged along asking a ton of questions. It was raining, so they even used a drone to check out the roof. We got a 124-page report the next day that was super detailed with clear pictures and arrows pointing right at whatever needed attention. The best part, though, was the video debrief with Charlie, the owner. He spent almost two hours walking us through everything, giving us his honest opinion on what was actually a big deal versus what was just code, plus realistic cost estimates and contractor recommendations. They went above and beyond. Seriously the best inspection experience I've had.

Much easier to reference that info electronically rather than writing down everything live while speaking on the phone. They have an online scheduling system open for you to see, so you can view all their availability in one place and find a time that best fits you. We had Vince complete our inspection. He was very thorough and professional. From the very beginning, he was very clear that we could voice any concerns throughout the experience. Whenever we asked about something, he immediately checked it out. After we received the report, the owner Charlie walked us through each of the items on our inspection report with us to make sure we understood everything. He even gave us his personal recommendations on stores/suppliers he uses. Overall, this was a great experience for me. Easy online scheduling, clear communication, timely reports, professionalism, honesty, and genuine care for the craft. I would highly recommend Chicagoland Home Inspectors to anyone.

I honestly wished I used him on my first house 15 some years ago instead I was a fool.

I always recommend Joe and if you can ask for an extension on your home purchase contract, do it and hire joe! I am attaching one of the few home inspections he did to show the proof of his detail work of 81 page report! We walked away from this home attached as Joe found many big concerns including a catch basin trap hooked up to the toilet in the middle of the winter.

I hired SFHI in May 2023 to inspect a 1927 home I was looking to purchase. I understood that a…read morehouse nearly 100 years old, there could be issues. That's exactly why I paid over $1,000 for a full inspection with a sewer scope addon to catch the serious ones before closing. I expected a professional and thorough report to help guide my decision. Instead, I was left with oversights, financial stress, and a dismissive response from the company via email. A brand new kitchen was installed and what the inspection failed to catch was that directly beneath the kitchen, right above the furnace in the basement, several joists were pulling away from the header. I discovered a visible 1 1/2 in gap just a few weeks after moving in. This was not a minor issue. It was a dangerous structural concern in one of the most heavily used parts of the home, and it was completely missed in the report. Instead of identifying that, the inspection focused on areas like the front and rear patio, which were less concerning to me. It noted a cut joist under the bathroom but failed to mention that another joist had already been installed a few inches away to correct it. It also listed two support jacks under the dining and living rooms. None of those findings bothered me. What bothered me was that the joists under the kitchen, which had just undergone major renovation, were never mentioned. That area should have been a top priority. It needed closer attention and WAS overlooked. About 90 days after closing, I contacted them with my concerns. Instead of taking my feedback seriously, I was told I should have hired a structural engineer. Maybe I would have if I had been informed about the issue. But I trusted the inspection I paid for, and I only discovered the problem myself after moving in. I later reached out to request a refund so I could bring in another inspector just to have another opinion, but I never heard from SFHI again. The inspection report also estimated the roof to be 5 to 10 years old. In early 2025, my ins. company asked for proof of this. I submitted a FOIA to the Village and found that the roof was last replaced in 2000, 25 years ago today. I verified this with Google Street View and confirmed it with the former owner's family. The estimate was off by about 13 years at that time in 2023. The roof in 2023 would be 23 years old. Not 5-10 years. As a result, I'm now facing increased premiums and risk of cancellation, all because I relied on an inaccurate visual guess. I paid extra for a sewer inspection. The plumber they brought in couldn't properly trace the line. The camera kept looping through the wrong pipe. It wasted time and left us without clear answers. I notified the seller about this and the seller's plumber found a crack in the main line, which they repaired before closing. There is a cleanout and a new blacktop patch in my driveway where that work was done, fixed and was missed by the plumber working alongside Jesse. In summary, the inspection missed a major issue under the kitchen, misidentified the age of the roof by over a decade, and failed to provide clear answers on the sewer line. These are not small problems. These are high cost issues that should have been caught. When I brought them up, I was met with defensiveness and silence. My refund request was never answered. I was told "Please stop saying that something was missed. Nothing was missed. Our recommendation was to have things further evaluated by a structural engineer prior to closing." When I raised my concerns, I was dismissed, belittled and treated unprofessionally. Things were missed, and that's the point. I'm simply sharing my experience, which I've documented thoroughly. I've seen many positive reviews and I'm glad some customers had better experiences. But I've also seen how the company responds to criticism, and the tone I received from them was similar. You can write whatever response you want. I don't care. The truth is, as a first-time home buyer, the way this experience played out for me was unfair.

When we arrived at the appointment, Jesse was there to great us as he showed up early to start inspecting the exterior of the property "off the clock". Starting at the time that my husband and I arrived the inspection took the full three hours that he quoted as he thoroughly combed through every inch of the house. I found Jesse to be very professional but also very easy to talk to. We tagged along and I asked many questions, to which he thoughtfully and patiently shared his knowledge. He gave us many tips and ideas on how to make the home safer and also to keep it well maintained. His report came hours later and was very thorough with links and pictures and tons of valuable information. I definitely learned a lot about my home from Jesse and would hire him again in a heartbeat! Highly recommended.
