About us

Jon and Jennifer Ellis launched Finest Home Inspection in 2016. Jon, who performs the inspections and writes the inspection reports, spent the prior 18 years building, maintaining, and inspecting custom homes. He has managed and overseen the work of the full array of sub-contractors, from electricians and plumbers to HVAC and roofers, ensuring the integrity of the building process, that home owners’ desires are met, and helping them understand the significance of the different options available to them. With an eye for detail and a love of building, Jon has the experience to understand the relationship of the different systems in your home and the critical points to watch for. While fluent in the language of the various trades, Jon is able to clearly explain the details of your home to those of us who may not be.

Highly Recommended. We called on Finest Home Inspection before purchasing our family’s new home. Jon Ellis was our inspector. He was on time and explained the home inspection process. I am impressed by how thorough and knowledgeable he is. Jon fielded our many questions with patience and understanding. After the inspection, we soon received a complete report on our home with detailed descriptions and photos. Jon is very friendly and we felt comfortable with him throughout the entire inspection process. We were confident making the decision to purchase our new home because we felt so informed about the condition of the house. I recommend Finest Home Inspection to anyone interested in need of a home inspection. I don’t often write reviews, but felt my experience could help others make a good choice. I’m leaving their info below. Good luck in finding your new home. A big Thank You to both Jon and Jennifer at Finest. [*** Link removed ***] (Check out their FAQ page. They’ve provided a lot of information there.) 217-552-2700 ellis@finesthomeinspection.com

Finest Home Inspection was fantastic. We had Jon Ellis and he was a pleasure to work with. He had a great personality, and was very personable for a job that is so rigid. You could tell he was experienced and knew exactly what he was doing, however, he would explain everything to us in ways we understood as first time home buyers. He was VERY THOROUGH with his inspection, and he also would check out anything that we had questions about. The process was really smooth and quick from booking with him to being able to review our report online easily. We got our inspection report back within a day! There were so many things especially really small things like smalls chips on the garage that he found due to a lawn mower hitting it, or small drip from the spout when the outside water is running. We felt confident in our report and we knew exactly what we were getting into when we purchased our home. Jon was also available for any follow up questions that we had and was someone we knew we could trust. We HIGHLY recommend his services.

Jon was such a pleasure to work with, spent a lot of time and really looked at all the important details during the home inspection. Their report is easy to read and gave me all the correct information to know what needs to be done in the future and what to consider negotiating with the seller. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in the Champaign, IL area
