Did not inspect any of the attic's, and missed a bunch of items that were out in the open. He couldn't even bother checking all of the outlets. A home inspection should be priceless and you are trusting your biggest financial decision on the accuracy and dedication of your home inspectors findings. Do not use accurate home inspections. He also overcharged because he didn't remember and sometimes accidents happen but how could he not know or at least realized at some point that he overcharged? In which case it would've showed dignity and honesty, if he were to come back and say hey you over paid me let me give you the difference back but no, he had to be contacted three times to get the money back and he wouldn't even come back out and finish his inspection without trying to charge an extra $100 for a reinspection. If you did not check it in the first place, that is not a reinspection. It sounds like he was in and out within an hour or at least around there. it's disgusting that he can take so much money from people for barely any of his time that sometimes people take days or a week just to make to pay for the inspection. I hate leaving bad reviews but if you are going to conduct your business like this, then you deserve a poor review. Please look elsewhere for a solid inspection company that stands behind their work and is actually there to protect the buyer. he was on time, but there is no excuse for being there as short as he was other than to probably make it back before they closed. It would have been a different story if he would have been apologetic and owned up to his mistakes and his poor inspection, and made it right, but he just wanted to gouge for more money. I will never recommend this company and I highly advise anyone to look elsewhere. I ended up getting another inspection From a different company and it was great. The gentleman was there for 2 1/2 hours and actually made us feel that we got our moneys worth.

Erik, Thank you so much for coming out quickly! I was so concerned about the problems that were found in our roof after Savage Roofing made even errors that I could see when replacing our roof. I'm relieved no decking looks like it needs to be changed. I'm also glad that you only found two sections that need to be replaced unless your photos that you took reveal something more in your report tonight. I was really impressed with your drone technology. I'm also very impressed that you came out within 18 hours after my husband spoke with you. I was so scared after the mess the left behind by the roofers that we're still cleaning up from even after one month of me picking up many more nails. Thank goodness that it looks like they don't have to replace big sections of the roof! I'm glad you found the sections that need to be redone! I thought, what in the world has been has been done to my roof that I can't see after the roofers left when it was pitch black outside. Time was of the essence to get your report before the roofers come back on Friday. Within 18 hours you were here! I appreciate your exceptional communication and detailed inspection. All this I will convey on Facebook and Google with 5/5 stars for you! I appreciate too you giving a fair price for the inspection! Thank you again so very much, Sarah and Tom

Eric specializes in window insulation so he gave us a lot of helpful tips on windows and care. Gary was also very helpful in explaining electrical box and regular routine maintenance for home so things last longer. Overall we were happy with the inspection I even told Gary and Eric I was going to give them 5 stars but then they ran into a problem with their software. The inspection was done on Saturday but we didn't get the report until Tuesday. During that time our realtor and lawyer kept asking for the report and we kept asking them for our report. Their team was responsive and they apologized for the delay. The inspection was good but because of the software issue and delay in getting the report, I took a star off.

The positives I will say is that Russ was very responsive from the moment we inquired about him and set things up and communicating with him. He'll even show up on time unlike most people nowadays. Russ did his job fine but me and my wife on site felt like he was not checking out other things that we noticed that were worth noting, picturing or documented so I could have a way to possibly get the owner to fix it before I purchase. All in all, Russ is friendly , his prices are fair and you'll learn a great thing or two from him personally which are great but just be vigilant to find and point out your issues and ask questions to make sure it can be documented.

You might be better off watching a few YouTube videos then doing your own inspection. They missed 2 active infestations, Mud daubers (wasps) in the side attic. Carpenter ants in the basement. Both which we found about a month after we moved in, on our own. The exterminator said that had the inspector looked, there was no way to miss that they had been active for quite a while. I could maybe let the wasps slide, you would have to pay attention to general details to find it. The carpenter ants we found after cleaning. Had they looked at the joists in the basement they would never have missed the 2 spots. He also missed the flashing around the exhaust for the heat and fireplace while on the roof, had to have that repaired the 1st year we were in the house. Then there was the wood above the entrance that had it's own damage from the carpenter ants that needed to fully be replaced. He will point out some minor things, outlets in the bathroom, missing window cranks/ broken gear in window. Gutters needing more hangers... To top it off his assistant (wife) tried to turn us into collections for non payment, when I called and paid the day after the inspection. We emailed them the credit card receipt, and was I was right. That that kind of mistake doesn't often happen, and they would update their records. He couldn't even own that one and say they were sorry. I'm sure they would have excuses for everything they miss, and blame the homeowner or God. I highly recommend finding someone else or brush up on YouTube, you can only have better results. The one star is warranted, this has to do with your home. Good luck, and congratulations on your upcoming purchase.

Joseph Konopacki and his company Insight Property Services are guilty of gross negligence. They…read moreperformed inspection of my house in La Grange Park in August 2024. Their inspection failed to identify the following problems: 1. A significant smell during the running of the two furnaces was deemed to be normal, and the furnaces were reported to be functioning well. However, an inspection by Precision HVAC identified that both furnaces were cracked and at risk of carbon monoxide leaks which could be lethal. Precision turned off the gas to prevent the carbon monoxide leak from causing harm. A second HVAC company (ABC) confirmed the cracks and mentioned that it was unsafe to continue to use the furnaces. They also suggested replacement of both the furnaces. 2. The sump pump battery was described as follows: "There is a battery backup system which appears functional and is charging." However, there had been no recent rain in the previous 3 days (per the report). When a plumber from ABC inspected the battery, he found that the backup battery system was swollen and nonfunctional. It was "charging" because there was no output to the battery. The battery was swollen and at risk for explosion or rupture, per the plumber's report. The backup sump pump was turned off due to the risks. Perma-Seal confirmed the problem and replaced it. The purpose of a home inspection is to make sure that the home is safe for its inhabitants. Joseph Konopacki and Insight Property Services failed these basic requirements and should lose their license for gross negligence.

He neglected to tell me that there was evidently a second floor up where the current attic is. There was additionally plumbing, flooring and other items there. So in actuality the house was not built twenty years ago, but MUCH earlier than that. I'm not blaming Gary for false advertising: However, neglecting to give the above info. is just as bad. I found out about this through two different construction companies that had been working on the house at the same time. I was charged more for their work since there was additional material for them to cut through. OH AND THIS IS NOT THE KICKER.
