Joseph Konopacki and his company Insight Property Services are guilty of gross negligence. They performed 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. read more

Insight Property Services did an incredible job with our home energy audit. Our family has a goal to improve our overall energy efficiency and to reduce our carbon footprint. Insight Property Services were ncredibly thorough, taking the time to explain every detail and answer all of our questions. Their expertise was evident as they pointed out areas where we could optimize for energy efficiency. We were so impressed with their professionalism and knowledge and their report helped us plan our next home projects. If you're looking for a team that truly cares about helping you save energy and money, I highly recommend Insight Property Services! read more

Great experience, we had the pleasure of Tom inspecting our future home. Very knowledgeable, patient, and detailed in his process. Would recommend them to anyone. read more

Was very impressed with service provided by Joe. Less than happy with service provided by Tom.

Unfortunately our service was not good. But we didn't find out until after the inspection. We scheduled a commercial unit inspection. This was for a 2,000 square foot storage/garage that for the most part was just 4 walls, and within was a small office/room that was built out by the previous owner. Our price was quoted $400, which seemed high for such a small and bare/empty storage garage, but we were going off their excellent Yelp reviews, so no arguments from us. Basically after the inspection, and closing etc. we had to have the village inspector confirm that all was good. He found the fire extinguishers were out of date. They were last inspected in 2012 (2012?? yeah, really). So they were so old that the fire extinguisher company could not/would not approve them for the current year. We had to buy 2 new ones. That cost $160. And because we closed already.... we of course couldn't get the seller to pay. Also the village inspector found that the emergency exit light, over the exit door, was not working. That had to be replaced. Another $180. And again.... something we "Could" have had the seller pay for or replace if we knew about it. But we had to eat that cost too. All in all, this inspection was a complete waste of $400. Maybe for residential homes this company does ok. But I would never recommend them for commercial inspections. read more

We had some mold issues in our basement that one company recommended total remediation at $10k+. I knew I likely had some additional issues so I called my HVAC company who recommended Insight Property. Dave came out and was fantastic, very honest and treated me like this was his home. He recommended several things to do, provided me a full report and said he'd come back after all the work was completed to do a second inspection. His suggestions seemed much more logical in helping our situation than the guy who spent my life savings in 5 minutes after seeing the basement. Highly recommend. read more

I'm a realtor and I refer Tom to all of my clients! I just used him for my own home purchase inspection as well! I trust Tom to check everything. He is so knowledgeable and explains everything in a way you can understand. Tom is a great inspector! read more

My husband and I were first time home buyers this summer. When we found our dream home, our realtor recommended using Insight Property Services, and we scheduled an appointment without thinking twice about shopping around for other companies or reading reviews. At the time of our home inspection, we were beyond satisfied with our inspector and his report on the home we were buying. He was kind, well versed in the subject, and he happily answered all of our questions about the home. We have now lived in our home for just over 3 months, and I am sad to say our home inspection was not at all what it should have been... it was a complete waste of our time and money. In these first 3 months, we have dealt with far too many "first home blunders" that should have been brought to our attention by the home inspection. Every repairman/contractor who has come by to help us fix the various issues outlined below has mentioned that these problems should have been discovered in the home inspection report before we closed on the home, which is why I've taken the time to write this out. 1. Our sump pump, which was deemed as "functioning" in the inspection, went out just a week after we moved in. When we had someone come out to fix it, we were told it showed years of aging and should have been replaced a long time ago. There went a few hundred dollars. 2. Our home is on well water, so there was a learning curve for us to get over. We had low water pressure in some of our sinks and showers, so we had a plumber come take a look. The plumber pointed out that the bladder in our well tank was completely shot, the piston on the iron filter was blown, and the water softener was on its way out. There went a few thousand dollars. 3. While the home inspector did point out "minor mold growth" in the NW corner of our attic, we wonder how much of an inspection he was really able to complete without having any wood boards to move around the rafters. If he did, he would have seen that the bathroom fan vents were not installed properly, rather than reporting that they were "ducted to the exterior." In fact, the shower fan duct to exterior wasn't even attached to the fan itself, but was just resting unattached on the attic floor, leaving the shower fan to discharge humid air directly into the insulation and attic. If he had thoroughly inspected our attic, he would have seen that the bath fan ducts had actually let so much moisture into our attic that 80% of it was covered in mold; instead, we had to learn that from a mold remediation company... 80% coverage is a hell of a lot more than the "minor mold growth" noted in our inspection report. There went a few thousand dollars. 4. The inspector also should have noticed the large gaps around the ventilation systems that let pests and debris move in. We've been told that any home inspector worth their salt would check a home's attic ventilation system, and unfortunately, ours did not. There went another few thousand dollars. My only hope is that this helps other home buyers avoid making the same mistake we did. Save your money and spare yourselves the disappointment. Use a different home inspector. read more

As a first time home buyer things get crazy and many questions arise!.... With the help of Tom J as inspector was amazing. He was very informative and answered many of our questions. He took his time was in no rush to leave our home, my husband and I felt at peace. Thank you Tom J from Leo and Steph! read more

Insight Property Services - Home Inspectors Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

As a real estate agent and home flipper I've used a lot of inspection companies but none of them have been as thorough as Insight. They did a recent inspection for a client and I was thoroughly impressed. I'm definitely going to use them on future properties. It was a 2000 square-foot house plus full basement and they showed up with three guys and checked over every inch of it. Then took the time to really explain everything to us. Could not be more pleased with the job they did! read more

Joe and his staff are the best! Very thorough and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Insight Property Services!

I cannot say enough great things about this company. I hired IPS to do an energy on my home. The home was built in 1924 so there were certainly some efficiencies to be had. Joe and his team are extremely thorough in the testing, inspecting and especially the explaining. I received a detailed report explaining all of the actions I could/should take to make my home more efficient. Many of the suggestions they made had not even crossed my mind. Some of which were quick fixes that made my home a lot more comfortable & energy efficient. Based on their suggestions I delayed getting new windows and instead had my attic air-sealed and re-insulated. They made recommendations on reputable companies and even came back to perform another blower door test after I completed many of the items on their list. I would highly recommend this company if you have a draft old home or are thinking of buying a new home. They do energy audits and well as home inspections. Thanks again! read more

I bought my house in 2019. The inspection I got did not mention the damage in the guest bathroom where all of the tiles were loose because the shower was not properly constructed. I ended up spending $3,000 to replace the shower. Also, an electrician has told me it could take up to $5,000 to having all of the old electrical wiring re-wired. He told me the condition the wiring was in created a fire hazard. Again, nothing like this was mentioned in the inspection by Insight Property Services. read more

After researching on Yelp, we selected Insight and it was a fantastic experience! Ann was accessible and friendly on the phone, she set us up with Tom (1 of 3 inspectors on staff). He was a few minutes early to the appointment and a delight to work with. I am a first time home buyer and it was comforting to work with Tom as he was incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. He worked diligently and answered questions and pointed details out along the way. There were many areas of the home with no problems, and he advised on preventative maintenance techniques to ensure good ongoing performance. We also asked for the infrared sensor to help look into the walls to see the quality of insulation and any possible future mold areas. It costs about $100 extra and is well worth it. The official report was available the next business day (inspection done Friday, report available Monday morning at 9am). Wow were there heaps of details and photos, we could not have asked for something more professional or thorough! Recommend stopping your research and calling Insight right away. Also, a 10 % discount available on the inspection if you mention you found them on Yelp. read more

Joe and his team did a great job and they were very affordable. I highly recommend them for home Inspections and home performance testing. read more

Tom Janczak,of Insight, inspected the home I recently purchased. He was very thorough and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Tom to my friends and family considering the purchase of a home. read more

The Insight Team inspected a house we are closing on. From the first phone call, they were extremely informative, courteous and helpful. Joe was the first person that contacted me. He got to know the house a little bit and was very flexible with the scheduling. He was easy to reach if I had any quick questions too. I believe it was Ann from the office that I communicated with on getting things in order - scheduling, making sure they have our contact info, sending us the reports, etc. She was sweet, great and over communicated on everything - which was fantastic! Tom was the person that actually inspected our house. He was great!! He arrived on time and went straight to work. He was very thorough and communicated with us on everything he had concerns about. Our real estate lawyer reviewed the home inspection report and even mentioned that it was a 'great and thorough report.' I would highly recommend Insight Property Services! read more

They were very accommodating to my schedule, price was competitive, the inspector was very thorough in his inspection, and the report was detailed and easy to read. The only downside to my experience was the report took longer than promised to receive. read more

Zach was awesome! He provided a full roof inspection and provided guidance on maintenance. He saved me so much money! The office coordinating was also super kind and helpful in scheduling my appointment at an affordable price for the inspection. I HIGHLY recommend Insight Property Services! read more

We used Insight to inspect a hosue we put an offer on. Dave was absolutely amazing. Not only was he friendly but he was very thorough and explained everything he found. His report was so very detailed. A lot of people had voiced reasons why they thought inspections weren't worth it, but Insight was a huge help and identified numerous serious issues. So of course, as we are now under contract for a different house, we are of course using Inisght and Dave again, no questions! read more

I was VERY happy with inspection. Scheduling was easy, reminders were timely, Tom arrived on the dot - not 5 min off :). He was very thorough and professional, but he also took time to explain things to me, and answer questions even outside the scope of the report - I am a single woman buying my own home - so I was stressing over million things. He made me feel at ease and confident. The report arrived on time and was very detailed. Will definitely use again and strongly recommend. read more

Joe made the home inspection process one of the most informative parts of our home buying journey! He did a thorough job while also making time to discuss in detail any of the issues he was seeing, not simply telling us what they were but explaining what they meant for us in the near term and down the road. He made us feel comfortable buying a fixer because he was so educational with his findings. As first time home buyers in the Midwest we were nervous some of our questions might be "dumb questions" especially regarding winter weather but Joe made us feel comfortable asking any questions we had and handled them all with care and consideration. I will recommend Insight and Joe specifically to anyone needing a home inspection, you get so much more than the inspection from Joe! read more

Insight did a wonderful job inspecting my soon to be home. Zach arrived on time (early, in fact) and thoroughly examined the home. He thoroughly explained his observations while answering questions. The appointment was made very quickly (within three days) and the report delivered in 24 hours. I highly recommend Insight! read more

Tom was incredibly thorough and provided a very detailed report. We're very satisfied.

Joe was great and the woman I spoke with on the phone, whose name escapes me (sorry) was a joy to talk to. I was impressed with how thorough Joe was. The report is complete with photos and explanations that are easy to follow. They are as professional as you could possibly want. I highly recommend them. I used them twice! read more

After being referred to Joe, he was able to meet with us that same week! So convenient! I can't say enough good things about Joe and the exquisite job he does. For first time home buyers, it was beyond insightful to have him walk us around and show us every detail and answer every question. He truly went above and beyond a basic inspection (per my realtor- she was very impressed) and I'm grateful to have such a detailed report which helped get us credits towards the home. read more

Our home energy usage is through the roof in the winter and we were at a loss as to why. ComEd recommended getting a home energy audit to gather more information. I'm in Chicago so I had originally contacted another company that seems to be frequently used and well reviewed in the city. After experiencing a very unhelpful, rude, and somewhat threatening interaction I decided I would do business elsewhere. That's when I came across Insight Property Services. Their quick response time and friendly and helpful attitude was a relief to encounter while needing help with something I'm not familiar with at all. The day of the audit, Joe and -forgive me I can't remember the other guys name-, came and talked us through everything they were doing. Afterward they provided up with a detailed report on what needed attention as well as recommendations for people to call. We were overall very happy with the service. read more

My bathroom showers were in horrible shape. I quit using one after a week or two after my purchase, because the grout kept falling out. A year after moving in I need to spend $4200 to fix the tiles. My contractors indicated the damage pre-dated my purchase. None of this was in the inspection report. read more

What an amazing experience. I reached out to Insight to do an inspection on a house that we are purchasing and cannot say enough about how smooth and pleasant the experience was. Anne was friendly and explained the process and pricing up front, including asking me where I found them and applying a 10% discount for getting them from yelp. Tom Janczak was our inspector and was prompt, thorough and friendly. He took the time to explain everything that he found and we received our report promptly. The whole experience was great. Called them Friday morning, got the inspection on Saturday and got the report first thing Monday morning. read more

We asked Joe to inspect a home we wanted to purchase. He was able to meet our narrow time requirements and was able to provide a quality, thorough inspection that allowed us to make some important decisions. Joe is very knowledgable and not only provided on the spot explanations, but he promptly prepared a comprehensive report for our review. The price was reasonable and the service professional. We would definitely recommend this company for any type of home inspection. We just may need him again! read more

I used Insight to do a home inspection for a client (which also happened to be my daughter), when my regular inspector was on vacation. I have known Joe for some time but had not used his services yet. I should have been using them much sooner. Joe has got a great perspective, a realistic attitude (not the sky is falling like many) and a fair price for his services. He left no stone unturned and provided a comprehensive report that offered excellent advice when it came to countering back to the owner of the property. I would highly recommend Joe and his company. They are my new home inspector. read more

We had a home inspected by insight recently. We were under a very tight time constraint to get the property inspected. Joe returned my call on a Sunday and I was able to get an inspection scheduled for only a few days later. Joe and David were beyond helpful during the process. They let me follow them around as they explained what they were looking for and the ramifications of items they found. Joe and David did a great job on this property. They also set up a radon test at the property. They handled it all. The reports were very professional and completed quickly. I would definitely recommend insight to a friend. read more

Insight did a superb job with with our home inspection. Tom was friendly, professional and extremely thorough. The communication was fantastic; he was able to answer all of my questions and provided explanations for everything. The process of this home inspection was excellent; the report provided was detailed/timely and the pictures were great. I appreciated the emails which provided explanations, details, updates and reminders for everything. I am honestly a satisfied customer and highly recommend Insight Property Services! read more

Insight Property Services is a great home inspection company. These guys are prompt, thorough, and do an excellent job with their reports. I'm a realtor and I've referred my clients to use their service. I've had consistent compliments from my clients about the level of professionalism that this company provides. Keep up the good work! read more

Had Insight Property Services out a week ago on a house I purchased. They were very timely with their appointment and also called ahead for a reminder. Joe was very professional. I was not at the property when they conducted the test, however I did receive a report on all of the tests they did. I was blown away by the 41 page report that was emailed to me. It had more information regarding the house than I would had ever thought. They detected some small gas leaks and also made suggestions to service the sump pump. To say the least I was very impressed with their service. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home or even better yet, to those that have an existing home. What you might find can give you some real insight to problems you never knew you had. read more

Insight did a fantastic job inspecting a home we are about to purchase. Joe and Zach thoroughly examined the home, top to bottom and were very willing to explain what they found and answer our questions. Appointment was made quickly and the report delivered in less than 24 hours. A very professional and courteous operation, we highly recommend. read more

This is the 2nd time I've used Insight and Tom in the past 3.5 years. Once again Tom's knowledge and thorough inspection have relieved any worry's or concerns I had with purchasing a new home. Anytime I would ask a question or follow him around he would explain what he is doing and why and always got to the bottom of any questions I had. The full Inspection Report took less than 24hrs to receive via email and we were more than comfortable moving forward on the purchase of our new home. I will recommend this company and Tom to anyone looking to buy a new home. I hope to use you guys again in the future! read more

I can not recommend them enough. Recently went on an inspection for a potential home purchase and what Insight uncovered was not only important from a financial standpoint but safety to consider in buying the home. Very friendly, very informative, Tom was the best. You will not be disappointed. read more

I would strongly recommend using a different company. We were first time home buyers and relied on Insight to find any major issues with the home we purchased. The inspection came back clean, aside from easily visible things that needed upgrades (fuse box vs jbox, cracked window, gutters needed cleaning, etc.). Within 2 weeks of closing, we discovered major structural issues with the home. Part of the reason we noticed was because after a large rainfall, we had 2" of standing water in the basement because the floor drain was clogged with tree roots. The inspector did not even lift the floor drain lid to look down it. The home gets water constantly, even though the inspector said there were no signs of water damage in the basement. With hindsight being 20/20, there were many indicators of foundations problems: floors weren't level, cracks visible on the outside, basement walls leaning in, a 2-3" reveal between the siding and foundation wall, and cracks in the drywall in the basement. These are things I would have hoped a home inspector would look for and brought to my attention. Had we known about these issues we would definitely have not gone through with the purchase. read more
