I would like to begin my review by sharing that this is the second time we have hired Abe Kurek as…read moreour home inspector. I left a glowing review during 2023. You can look it up under my name, Mary Savva. Although we decided against buying the home in 2023, we decided we would absolutely and unwaveringly use Abe as our inspector the next time. Fast forward 3 years later, we recently used Abe in June 2026. We had the pleasure of meeting his son Nick during our 2nd inspection. I really can't say enough about Abe. I find it difficult to top my 2023 review because it was so good. During our second experience with Abe, we had a different realtor. All I have to say is Abe is on your side. The jingle, "Nationwide is on your side" should be Abe's theme song except it would be, "Abe is on your side." I hate to sound cheesy, but when you are a first-time homebuyer, it's hard to relax and trust the process. Abe makes it easier to do that simply because he is loyal to you and only you. It's a huge relief to have someone with so much experience under their belt in your corner. It's also a relief to know you can have the same confidence in his son Nick. When you hire Abe, the relationship doesn't end with the home inspection. He fully prepares you to become a homeowner. He provides lists of referrals and lots of other useful information on his website such as what to look for during the final walk through. He assures you that you can reach out to him at any time- pre and post purchase. You feel like you are more than just a customer, you are now part of a family. Of course, the candy filled goody bag made especially for you helps a lot too during the inspection! Abe and Nick check every nook and cranny (crawlspaces, roofs, attics) They arrived on time and spent over 3 hours combing through the property. Abe uses his drone to check the roof. He even has a "back-up drone" just in case his high-tech drone fails for whatever reason. He is fully prepared for your inspection. He is able to explain complex issues clearly in layman's terms, or in our case, "first time home buyers" terms. He patiently answered our questions. His home inspection report is concise and easy to understand. This cannot be overstated. It includes a "Table of Contents" which makes everything easy to find. The report does not lack detail. It is well organized with very clear pictures. This helped us to negotiate repairs and buy in confidence. One of my best friends is currently house hunting. Her husband is a surgeon. She is worried that he might not be able to attend the home inspection. I immediately referred her to Abe and assured her that she would be in good hands. I explained she would have nothing to worry about if her husband could not attend. I highly recommend Abe & Nick Kurek to anyone buying a home in the area. They are professional, responsive and worth every penny! 5/5 stars.

As a first time homebuyer, I didn't know what to expect nor how to compare inspection services. But…read moreafter one phone call to Abe, I was pretty set and confident on Abe's Home Inspection Services. Over the phone, he was able to answer all of my queries and gave me a quick run-down of all the different services they provide and an accurate quote for an inspection on the house. He was also able to answer all of my "what-if" questions and ease my nerves by giving me a step-by-step on what to expect. Although my window for inspection was only 7 days, he was also able to squeeze me in for an inspection and got me my report within 3 days! I'm super grateful for that. On the day of the inspection, Abe and Nick let me join in on the process and even encouraged me to take my own notes. Every step of the way was a learning process for me and I gained a ton of new knowledge on structural info, safety, energy saving tips and more on the house. Abe gave me a packet and some goodie bags. The retractable tape measure with sticky notes and pen is really cool. He also put in some candy if you're feeling peckish, some hand sanitizer, flashlight and bandaids--all super useful stuff. Folder includes info packets, and even a final walk through checklist. He'd really thought of everything. Overall, I highly recommend Abe. His inspection gave me valuable insight on the house, and most importantly I gained a peace of mind. It's definitely worth the price!

Home Advantage Inspections missed a potential fire hazard in the home we purchased…read more We called HAI prior to purchasing our home in Mount Kisco, NY. The results of the inspection produced a few results that we were able to negotiate with the seller. However, HAI saw no issues with the house's boiler chimney. After the purchase of the house, our heating company advised us that the condition of our boiler chimney posed a potential fire hazard. The report HAI provided said there was no issues with the boiler chimney. After the purchase of the home, we had at least three chimney companies inspect the condition of the boiler chimney. Upon a mere visual inspection, all noticed that the boiler chimney could potentially cause a fire in the home. Upon further inspection, they noticed that the chimney would need to be completely replaced in order to make the home safe. They all strongly -- and separately -- suggested that the condition be remedied as soon as possible. The condition of the boiler chimney and the surrounding area was an open and obvious fire hazard that should have been identified in the inspection report provided by HAI. $3,000 later, we were able to remedy the condition without incident. However, had HAI notified us of the condition prior to the purchase of the home, this is something we could have potentially negotiated. We are lucky that we had the boiler company inspect the space, or else the condition of the home may have been much worse. There were other conditions in the home that were missed upon inspection -- but the fact that a safety hazard such as this was missed is extremely disconcerting.

Box 944255 Sacramento, CA 94244-2550 RE: Formal Complaint - Alleged Consumer Fraud by Optima Home Protection Dear Attorney General Rob Bonta, I am writing to formally report what I believe to be a case of consumer fraud and deceptive business practices by a California-based company named: Optima Home Protection Website: https://optimahomeprotection.com Phone: 1-800-332-7178 Email: help@optimahomeprotection.com Marketing Slogan: "Your partner in real eviction defense. We fight for you. We protect your home." On or around JUNE 26, 2025, I paid $3,790.00 to Optima Home Protection after speaking with a representative who identified himself as Paul Harmon. He claimed that the company would provide: 1. Full legal representation for two small claims lawsuits I filed in Cook County, Illinois, against my former landlord; and 2. Legal defense for any potential eviction proceedings that might be initiated by the landlord. However, on July 28, 2025, I had a scheduled Zoom court hearing at 1:30 PM at the Maywood Courthouse (Cook County, IL), Courtroom 0112, for my case: Alfred Arroyo v. Dennis Adams, Case No. 2025SC045644. No one from Optima Home Protection appeared or made contact with the court. Their absence placed my legal claims at risk and caused me considerable stress and harm. Since then, I have made numerous attempts to reach them via phone and email. Despite my calls and messages, I have received no response. I believe I have been misled and defrauded by this company, and I am concerned that they are engaging in systematic deception of vulnerable tenants nationwide. Do not hire these people or you will regret it. 1895.00 for each case i had 3. They didn't show up to two different cases and never called or picks up phone.

But Dale is SO GOOD that I made an exception & logged on to share my experience with the world! Dale is our hero. First of all, he's an excellent, knowledgable, extremely intelligent & competent home inspector. He knows exactly what to look for, what's he doing & will give you the good, bad & ugly information without being an alarmist. He also went out of his way to find an excavator recommendation so we could get an estimate on some foundation work that may need to be done. Second, he squeezed us in, right before his vacation, during the busiest time of the year and probably the busiest selling season ever up here. He could have easily told us to buzz off but instead was our personal hero and came to inspect the house for us with like 36 hours notice. Finally, he's just really cool. If everything with this home works out and we are up here all the time, I plan on trying to be his friend.
