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.

We are in a Facebook group for our builder and there is all the negative talks about things being built incorrectly. As a result of this we went to Yelp to hire our own inspector. This is where we found Rich. Rich has been amazing throughout this whole process. We hired him to do our pre-drywall inspection as well as our final inspection before move in. The best thing about Rich is he provides very thorough reporting with a quick turn around. We received both reports same day as the inspection to pass over to our developer. Rich made sure that we understood everything and provided answers to all our questions. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a home inspector and will be hiring again for our one year inspection.

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.

Incredibly poor service and lack of accountability. We hired this company for a home inspection,…read moreand they completely missed extensive mold on the basement ceiling caused by a leaking steam shower. This oversight ended up costing us $15,000 to remediate and repair. When we confronted them, they came back out to the property and saw the visible mold themselves, yet they still refused to take full responsibility. Instead, they offered a insulting $1,200 settlement. I highly recommend looking elsewhere if you want a thorough and honest inspection. The pictures below show the mold found on the basement ceiling, as well as the mold discovered after we had to rip apart our shower. It's funny Ross says what the public should know.   First the adjacent steam shower unit he talks about is 14' away from the actual shower that was leaking. And was not leaking during inspection.  This was noted that it was fixed years earlier by the previous owner.  The closing of the house was not 90 days after the inspection it was the normal 45 days that is very common. Also the lack of construction experience by CBI.  When first confronted about the leak I was informed in an email that we were told there was caulk issues around the shower. Anyone that has ever put in or been around a walk in shower knows the shower doesn't leak because of the water proofing membrane.  Not caulk.  What this means is the shower should not leak before tile, grout, and caulk are installed.  Once again not experienced with construction practices. All I have to say is watch what you sign when hiring a building inspector. We were denied by there insurance company due to waivers being signed taking all liability away from CBI before they even stepped foot on the property to perform the inspection.  Oh yeah.  I didn't mention the house down the street that they missed the kitchen sink leaking and the wall of mold behind it. Got our family twice they did.

Larry is an absolutely stellar inspector! We found Larry through a stroke of luck - the inspector…read moreoriginally recommended to us was unavailable when we needed him and he recommended Larry in his place. We could not have been more pleased. Larry inspected three homes for us within a year. The first two homes were older and had not been well-maintained (not at all evident when we made the offer, but Larry's thorough review showed the extent of the updates required). This is not to say at all that Larry is an alarmist - he is exactly the opposite. To Larry, anything is fixable. When I would try to press him about how big of an issue something is to gauge his level of panic, he would not budge. He is measured, cool, and collected and works with the up-most professionalism always. He simply states the many facts he collects (including giving a lot of advice on regular maintenance) and allows the purchaser to decide what it means to them. This quality is extremely appreciated. Having dealt with AWFUL, cowboy-ish inspectors like SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE , I would have complete confidence recommending Larry to a novice buyer, an expert buyer, and anyone in between. As a female, Larry did not at all make me feel like I was any less knowledgeable or able to learn than my husband about the intricacies of running a house. After our first two attempts at purchasing a home failed, we asked Larry if we could pay him to a second showing of a home we were interested in to do a very basic glance over before we made an offer and went down the painful path of attorneys, inspections, etc. He agreed for a small fee! We have called him throughout the year with many questions on homes and he was always willing to talk us through all of our concerns. We are so happy to have found Larry and look forward to working with him on any future home purchases!
