This allowed us to adjust the terms of the sale to reflect these issues. He talked about his prior career as an electrician and it was obvious he processes much more knowledge than is required to simply pass the inspector cert test. He is an expert. I don't know how the cost compares, but the value provided was amazing. We opted for the radon add on, and that did uncover a radon issue.

John is absolutely second to none! His attention to detail from start to finish is phenomenal…read more During the booking process he lays out every step ahead in clear and certain terms. He provides you with varying levels of options for your inspection but at no time does he force or utilize any pressure to persuade you one way or the other. He leaves all the decision making in your hands The inspection is incredibly thorough and there was no doubt about the timeline of his inspection. He does ask that you provide him with time at the beginning of the inspection and then arrive later for a thorough walkthrough. He then takes the time to answer any specific questions that you may have about the house, his findings, or any part of the inspection process. Overall his inspection and walkthrough contain just the facts and the reasons behind his findings. After the inspection he provides you with a complete report in full color presented in and easy to read format all in a 3-ring binder. Additionally, he provides a small booklet on home maintenance that would be fantastic for the first time gone buyer or the seasoned purchaser as it contains places for write down important pieces of information about the house, your appliances, filters, etc... Far and away this was the best money I have ever spent when it comes to buying a home. I would give him and his service the absolute highest recommendation possible. Thanks John!

You know those annoying things in reviewing, right? Like... "I'd give this place NO stars, if I…read morecould" or "I'd give them ALL the stars." The overzealousness can sometimes read amatuer, less-than-thorough, so I get it, I do! Problem is... if I could, after working with Jon, I'd give Finest Home Inspection, Jon Ellis, owner, and his gorgeous wife, Jennifer ALL. THE. STARS! I'm buying a home as a newly divorce woman returning to Champaign after 12 years away! Part of the problem is that I'm doing this sight unseen. The other part? I've only ever purchased property with another human being! A compulsive, drill-down-fact-checker who basically built life to fit the way he wanted to live! Nothing wrong with that in theory, it just kinda left me without a ton of tools to do this on my own. First thing I learned in this process -- you CAN'T depend on anyone but yourself to do the legwork! My real estate agent, a fine enough person, said he'd hook me up with all his best people. I fell into the routing I lived for years pre-divorce! I let him make the decisions, let him set the appointments, and just got along to get along. The issues started when I got the first quote from his home inspector -- $600 to inspect a 1500 sq ft condo! That sounded high to me, so I went to everyone's best friend -- Google! -- and looked for awesome home inspectors in the Champaign area. I'll the truthful, there are plenty. But there's only ONE Finest Home Inspection. Only ONE Jon Ellis! So, the reviews (glowing as they are!) weren't wrong. For less than almost every other single home inspector (almost $200 less!), Jon went out to my property, went EVERYWHERE, took pictures EVERYWHERE, sent me a report that knocked my socks off (and did so in like... less than a day!), and then... offered to go over every single page of the 40+ he sent me so I understood all terminology, all requirements, all spaces and all his notes! Clearly this is my first home report on my own! If it wasn't obvious from the earlier read, with a pretty tightly controlling ex, this was my first chance to see the depth and breadth of everything that goes into choosing a home, buying a home, maintaining a home. I was concerned, immediately, when the report came back with a laundry list of fixes. But, later, when Jon and I spoke on the phone, he put my mind thoroughly at ease! Telling me that the repairs portion of a report usually looks like that -- or WORSE, MUCH WORSE! -- and so we went over the things I might wanna mention and the things I might just want to have a go with on my own, and Jon was nothing but kind, patient, understanding, and educational! You can tell that he was a home builder before he was a home inspector! And that's such a great thing I'm wearing out the !!! key. I also had the privilege of talking to Jon's wife, Jennifer. She's the other half of Finest Home Inspection. She was insightful, informative, generous with her time, and genuinely sweet. If she's got room for a new BFF, I mean! ;D There's still work to be done, for sure, but after the prior owner makes the adjustments and changes necessary, I'm happily spending the -- and yes, get this! -- less than $100 to have Jon go out and reinspect! One thing I know for sure in this process is this... I've never been so happy to spend like $450 (and that's all in, inspection AND reinspection with a report that came in less than 24 hours!) in my life! As a newly minted person, on a new path, with a new adventure ahead, I'm really looking forward to picking Jon's brain about making changes to my new home. Jon's like one of those all purpose tools you pass up your wrench, your screw driver, your hammer for! He's the whole package, like one of the most valuable members of your team. I promise if you trust him, you won't go wrong! =D

The inspection of the home was scheduled for one day and took three separate days, over the course of two weeks; due to not bringing the right equipment, family emergencies on his part. If you ask me an inspector should come prepared with everything he could possibly need to do an inspection. He instead did some of it and said he had to come back later on a different day to finish because he didn't bring what he needed. Then couldn't come the rescheduled day because of a family emergency. Home buying is stressful and time consuming enough. It added to the stress when we had to extend our inspection response because of his unpreparedness. If you have the time to gamble with, I would recommend indyspect. The report looked great! But if you need it done in a timely manner, I'd suggest elsewhere.

They responded to my message in a timely manner, answered all my questions and they weren't pushy about getting their services. I have a new build so when it was finally time to hire an inspector I decided to go with MC2. So glad I did. They were reasonable and the inspection took about 3 hours. It was a smooth process and Greg, my inspector, was awesome. He was VERY picky (which I love) and he pointed out things that I wouldn't have seen. Please do NOT purchase a home without getting your own inspection done (IMO). Greg was very professional, he came in with footies and he had the report done later that night filled the pictures, notes and suggestions. It was definitely useful when I did my walkthrough with the contractor. Building a new home is already stressful but MC2 made it a little easier. Thank you for all your help, it's appreciated.

I almost consider him more of a consultant than an inspector! He knew SO much about everything in the home and gave me recommendations about everything I was unsure of. I received a detailed report with pictures of the home the same day. I cannot recommend MC2 enough, thank you for such a wonderful experience!
