Highly recommended. We used George to help troubleshoot a crawlspace issue and he was able to provided a recommendation as to what resources to use to remediate. Very professional, honest and thorough. read more

George is a great person. He inspected a home for my family and me in the city. He was very knowledgeable, professional and thorough. He was an integral part in our home buying process. We are very happy and couldn't recommend him more! read more

This inspector missed myriad serious problems with a home I was purchasing remotely. My realtor Ashley Kain Silver was also there but she was worse than useless overall in this process. I would not recommend either one of these. I wish I had a dime for every time a contractor who came in to fix this mess asked me, "Didn't your inspector catch this?" Do not use this guy and if your realtor recommends him get another realtor. read more

The Good I was able to call George and schedule an appointment on very short notice. I ended up having to reschedule on very short notice and he, once again, accommodated our timings with no problem. Easy to talk to and was available for follow up without difficulty. Available via text, phone and email which is a plus. The Better The day of the inspection, being a first time homebuyer and having to go thru the inspection without my husband made me a little nervous. However, George made the 3 hour experience so easy! He started off by laying out his game plan - what he wanted to look for, what order he was going to go over the home, and emphasized that I be there for every step, to ask any questions that came to mind, and assured me he'd be available for follow up if I had remembered anything afterwards. The Best He is thorough. Very thorough. He got into the tightest of spaces and took his time. I went over initial questions and concerns prior to us starting, he addressed the concerns as we went thru the inspection, and took the time to make sure we answered all the questions I came with at the end of the inspection. He not only provided his recommendations on repairs, but made sure to point out other aspects of normal home maintenance as we walked thru the home. He provided his report the next afternoon. Again, very thorough and detailed report. Granted this line of business requires detail, but his attention to detail translated from action to writing which provided a nice seamless experience for my husband and I. After we went over his report, my husband and I had follow up questions we wanted to ask. Texted him to set up a call and were speaking to him 15 mins later. He took his time answering our questions and made sure we understood everything before moving to the next point. He is honest, tells it how it is (whether it's in favor or against the buyer), and has the interests of his clients at hand. Will definitely be recommending him to others. read more

Have used George twice. Always thorough and to the point. The man knows how to do a detailed and professional inspection and I would use him again in a heartbeat. read more

George was extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and his detailed report went above and beyond expectations. Use his service to help guide your negotiations as well. They are insightful and impactful. He even stopped by a couple of weeks after the home purchase to do a follow up on an item he was unable to inspect due to the rooftop having a couple of feet of snow on top (Feb 2021 snowstorm). He inspected, gave his insight, made a recommendation that it may need attention w/in the next couple of years but not imperative at this time. It's that last follow up that really makes me want to recommend to anyone else needing a home inspector! Call him - he is very responsive any way you see fit - e-mail, phone, text. read more

I could not have asked for a better experience. George was great to work with. His expertise saved me from buying a money pit of a home. He is honest and thorough. I will be using his services again for my next potential dream home. Thank you! read more

EXCELLENT professional, timely, thorough and honest home inspection service. Highly recommend this company, also confirmed by the Better Business Bureau. Thank you George! read more

I just used the services of Detail Home Inspection, and I have to say I am extremely impressed. George went above and beyond to thoroughly inspect our potential house. He took him time, took no shortcuts, and gave us an incredibly detailed inspection report the same day. I would recommend George's services to ANYONE looking for a quaility inspector. read more

We had George inspect a home we were thinking of purchasing back earlier this year. He did a good job with the inspection. We didn't purchase that home due to some issues George found. Price to inspect the 2 story home was fair. I have recommended him to other friends. Our realtor recommend him to us. Very nice guy and easy to talk with. Didn't rush through the process which we appreciated. Answered all our questions. Highly recommend. read more

We used Detail Home Inspection this past summer. 5 out of 5 starts for George. Incredibly thorough and coached me through what to look for when buying my first home. read more

I have trusted George with three inspections over the past few years (two homes and one inspection related to a kitchen remodel and wall knock-out). In terms of being detail-oriented, knowledgable, and honest, it doesn't get any better. He is also one of the friendliest/most personable human beings I've ever encountered. George brings years upon years of experience to the table, and that shows through from the moment you begin working with him. I am confident that I will never need to look elsewhere for any home inspection-related information or advice. Very highly recommend. read more

George is an extremely nice person and wrote a thorough report, however I am a bit disappointed. He unfortunately didn't notice that my floors weren't level, doors were mounted incorrectly, and other cosmetic things that are turning into a giant headache. Some of that is on me, but being a first time home buyer I hired an inspector for a reason. read more

Used this guy twice in a row. Wished he would cut me a deal or something. Too bad for me, he didn't, but I would suggest to be a bit nicer to people. So, the two reports I received were very detailed. He looked through and at everything. He checked the floors, the walls, the ceiling, and climbed into the attic and onto the roof. He gave us his professional opinion, and ideas on how to fix things. He was on time, very pleasant and very professional. George answered all our questions, and never showed whether he was/wan't annoyed with us when we followed him everywhere. I wish I didn't have to pay full price for the second inspection that we scheduled within a month from the first one. read more

OK, not great. On the plus side, inspector was on time, setup appointment with short notice, and came out on a Saturday morning before a holiday (4th of July weekend)...definitely gets points for that. Also, received the report the same day...this is great. On the minus side, inspection felt rushed and was not as thorough as I would have expected. Missed some pretty obvious items like misdiagnosing genuine hardwood flooring as much cheaper laminate (later verified by simply lifting floor vent to see full hardwood side), and missing a completely off track and bent lift system for the garage door. Also, the report received was not very detailed. My personal notes from our discussion during the inspection were much more helpful...I would expect the inspectors notes to have covered those valuable insights. Overall the experience left me wanting, especially considering it came with a premium price...I expected a premium inspection... read more

Great inspector! As an agent I work with a lot of different inspectors. What I love about George is that he takes the time to educate my clients about any issues as well as how to maintain the home and mechanicals once they own the property. He is very personable and clients feel comfortable with him. He has many years of experience and very knowledgeable. I find him extremely reliable. He is always on my list of recommendations! read more

George is an amazing home inspector. I've used him a few times on home inspections and also for water and mold issues. George is very thorough and the name of his company, "detailed" speaks entirely of how he does his work. George is extremely detail oriented. Pleasure to work with, reasonably priced. Highly recommend! read more

George's inspection was extremely thorough, explaining everything as we went through the home. The report was incredibly detailed, way more than I expected, it was very organized and I liked that there was an interactive table of contents that allowed me to click to one part of the house without having to scroll through numerous pages. George was available for follow-up questions pertaining to my inspection and he even referred me to reliable contractors to do the work that needed to be done on the home. His work was honest, detailed and thorough. Safety is always worth the money, but George doesn't cut corners and treats every home like his family will be living in it. Thanks, George! read more

George is the most thorough, efficient and pleasant home inspector I've used. Thank you, George, for saving us from making an expensive mistake. We're looking for a better home, and hope to hire you again, soon! read more

When I've bought homes in the past, the inspections were quick, vague, and not at all helpful. This time I wanted something different. After searching the internet for a reputable and thorough home inspector, due to the many outstanding reviews, I contacted George at Detail Home Inspection. I was amazed that he responded right away. I immediately knew that George was the guy for the job. He confirmed the appointment several times and arrived before I even got there. The inspection was very different than my past experiences. George was extremely thorough, took extensive pictures, recorded notes, and pointed everything out to me during the process. His passion and expertise were readily apparent. The inspection on a 2400 square foot home lasted over 2 1/2 hours. George is extremely personable and although I just met him, I was extremely comfortable and more than confident in his abilities. His honesty and ability to clearly explain any potential risks were greatly appreciated. His exceedingly detailed 100+ page report was emailed to me just hours after the inspection. Not only did the report include potential risks, it also incorporated advice and reminders on maintaining the home. I can't thank George enough and highly recommend that George be the first and only person contacted for home inspection needs. read more

Just did our new home inspection with George. He's great! Has a solid background in inspection and immediately put us at ease by going over his process for evaluation. He arrived early, worked quickly and efficiently, and is very polite and patient in explaining his findings. He took high res pictures of all the areas of concern in the house. We got the report back early the next day - it was great! Super easy to understand and follow (even for me). Our lawyer was thrilled to have such an easy document to refer to. Wish I had known about him for our last home purchase! read more

George did a very complete inspection on very short notice on a "fixer upper" I purchased. He made me and my mom feel at ease and addressed issues in a professional, friendly manor. Issues that we wouldn't have thought of were brought to our attention during his inspection. His service is top notch and his price is well worth it! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for your home inspection. read more

I was referred to George through my Realtor to inspect a Condo unit. As a first time buyer making sure everything was checked and understanding why was important to me. I found George to be very thorough not only in his inspection, but in making sure I understood why he was looking at certain things and why he was making his suggestions. He inspected everything in the unit as well as the garage and attic-space (which revealed venting and piping that needed attention). I received my report the next morning. It was easy to understand and very detailed. I would certainly recommend George, and call upon him for future inspections and/or recommendations when I need repairs made. read more

We had George from Detail Home Inspection do the home inspection on our new construction townhouse. We were able to schedule an appointment on very short notice. Very thorough. George was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. He took the time to explain what he was doing, what he was looking for, and made helpful suggestions while doing the inspection and in the final report. No games and no hassle. The report was easy to understand and had photos to document all of the issues. I highly recommend him. read more

George is an excellent inspector. He inspected two homes for us, one that we didn't end up purchasing because of issues George found during inspection. He is detail oriented, patient and an all around nice guy. And he took extra time to make sure I understood everything in the report. I would definitely recommend George to everyone I know. read more

George was the most thorough home inspector i've ever used. His report left no stone unturned and he was available for follow up questions and guidance well after the day of the inspection and presentation of the report. He literally instills fear in the eyes of seller's agents because nothing gets past him. Thanks George! read more

George performed a home inspection for me on a recent home purchase in Deerfield. I was relocating from California and George's inspection was thorough and detailed. He took the time to walk me through each of his findings explaining what each meant and its' level of importance. We closed on the home and George has gone out of his way to connect me with his recommended providers to remediate some of the issues with the house. He demonstrates a high level of knowledge and his attention to detail, professionalism, and overall care for the customer is 'second to none.' read more

I used George at Detail Home Inspection to inspect a home that I'd purchased. After inspection, he made me aware of a few issues that helped me make a better, more informed decision about the purchase. George's thorough inspection saved me from having to deal with some potential issues down the road - and I'd use him again in a heartbeat. read more

George was clearly a professional through and through. I've had a number of inspectors in the past for various properties and I found him to be very thorough, courteous, clear, and patient as we went over the details of the home he inspected for me in Northfield. His use of technology was also impressive as he recorded notes digitally and via his phone via an application to make sure not a thing was missed in the report. He also was very prompt in his turnaround of the report and the entire time I felt like I was in good hands. I've recommended George to three of my realtor friends already and will do so for my friends who are looking to purchase as well. He inspects in chicago and surrounding areas and I'm very happy to meet someone who genuinely cares about what he does and his client, too. His rates are also reasonable in case you're wondering if all that goodness comes at a premium. Nope, George comes with ethics and pride, and as a Chicagoan, I find that to be extremely refreshing. If you need an inspector, call George! read more

5 stars for Detail Home Inspection and George! We needed a home inspector on super short notice, and George responded to our request for a quote within an hour of contacting him. His rates were competitive, and he was flexible, easily working with us to meet our scheduling needs. Upon meeting George, he was friendly, approachable and more than willing to walk us through everything during our inspection. We really appreciated this as first time home buyers with a good deal of questions! During our inspection, George didn't miss a beat and covered every inch of our new home. He crawled up into the attic and identified some concerns that we are very glad were not missed. Following the inspection, George sent us a report within 24 hours. The report was well-organized, extremely thorough, user-friendly, and full of pictures and clear call-outs of any safety concerns or repairs needed. Overall, we are extremely happy that we were able to find George, and enlist his services. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for a smart, reliable and professional home inspector in the Chicagoland area! read more

George agreed to inspect a home for me on fairly short notice. I rolled up on time but I was impressed to see his truck waiting at the property early. This was an older home so the wife and I were a little scared. I let him know that I was a first time home purchaser and he walked me through everything, even gave me useful tips on what I should be doing after move in. He took his time but was courteous and communicative throughout; George took several pictures and provided many of them in the extensive inspection report he provided shortly after the inspection. Not only did he brave the dark crawlspace, spend time on the roof, and provide critical remarks on the attic, he also went around ensuring everything was working, up to code and in order. He gave his honest opinion at the end and I can't even tell you how much I appreciated that. Just as important, he made himself available afterward for followup questions that we had before we went back to the seller. He was a consummate professional before, during and after. Although I do not plan on buying another property anytime soon, I will gladly refer George and Detail Home Inspection to anyone in need of a thorough, honest, and informed inspection. We'll be referring to his inspection report for many years to come as we make minor repairs down the line. Real happy we found the guy. Easy 10 out of 10 read more
