At the end, he walked us through everything verbally before sending the written report, which was extremely helpful. He explained what really mattered, what was more routine, and what we should keep an eye on, all in plain language. That conversation alone made the whole inspection feel much less stressful. Joe was also very flexible and accommodating with our tight schedule, which we really appreciated. When the written report came through, it was thorough, clear, and matched exactly what he had already explained to us in person. On the scheduling side, Christina was fantastic. She was professional, responsive, and quick to follow up. Coordinating the inspection was smooth and efficient, even with a compressed timeline, and communication was clear every step of the way. Overall, we had a really positive experience with First Choice Inspectors. Between Joe's knowledge and communication and Christina's excellent coordination, everything felt well organized and well handled. We'd absolutely recommend them and would happily work with them again.

If I were a contractor, I would look to get an endorsement from this company. Frank Dattalo was great on-site. The follow-up call with Charles Bellefontaine was very insightful. The combination of the two... 1) saved us additional time and money, 2) gave us confidence to not second guess walking away (we thought we had found a home that we would live in for decades), and 3) was a learning opportunity as we continue house hunting. I would highly recommend Chicagoland Home Inspectors, especially if you are purchasing a home that is 100+ years old. Even more so if the home is for sale by owner. They provide the information that you need to hear before making such a substantial commitment. You may be disappointed but purchasing a 100 year old home without this type of thorough inspection is akin to closing your eyes and taking a leap of faith that the seller wants what's best for you and your family. For context, the home was built in the early 1900s, three-stories, brick, original hardwood floors. The seller presented the home as being fully renovated with a new roof, electric wiring, plumbing, HVAC retrofit, etc. Frank called days a head of the inspection to ask some questions and discuss what services were needed. He removed one of the services, and the extra cost, because it wasn't needed. Frank arrived early and was already scanning the roof (via drone) when I arrived. He was more than happy to answer any questions that I had and he made a point to show me areas of major concern in-person. When I pointed things out Frank was more than happy to take a look and answer my questions. On the follow-up call, Charles took the time to further explain the findings, provide input on priorities and talked us through estimating tools. He also provided a different perspective and opinions. Talking with both Frank and Charles was incredibly valuable. Charles was surprised that our realtor recommended Chicagoland Home Inspectors and was quick to tell us that's a great sign that our realtor has our best interests in mind. If your realtor tries to steer you clear of this firm, definitely inquire why. You have to live with the consequences, not your realtor. Some Inspection Findings: - Licensed contractors didn't perform work properly - Major systems (which are new) were functioning but had potential issues that could shorten lifespan/void warranties - Source of moisture intrusion hadn't been identified/repaired - Attempts to clean up mold - Potential safety hazards Other Details: Inspectors are only required to check one electric outlet per room, this firm checks all of the outlets. They found the one that was incorrectly wired and posed a safety risk. When they tested the water pressure they made sure to turn on multiple faucets not just one at a time, identified a pressure issue. One thing to note, make sure the seller or broker has everything prepared. Any water valves that are shutoff equate to a sink that cannot be inspected. All appliances and systems need to be fully operational to be inspected.

In the case of Tony and ASI Home Inspections, I wanted to write this because ASI's inspections are as good as it gets. I've hired Tony for two home inspections, and will absolutely hire him for any future inspections. If you want someone who is honest, extremely thorough, takes pride in the job he does, doesn't try to smooth things over so an real estate agent doesn't lose a deal, but really puts the customer's interests first, look no further than Tony & ASI. Tony's home inspection reports are also thorough, clear, full of pictures (which speak a thousand words, especially for an inspection!) and provided us the info we needed to negotiate on our home. Don't settle for those home inspection reports which are just full of checkboxes. Thanks Tony!

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.
