Description of Work: Mark was incredible. We hired Mark to perform an inspection on a new construction home in Elmhurst, IL. Mark was great - very detailed and thoughtful. Even though the home was new and well built, Mark helped us to identify a number of issues that required the builder's attention.

Description of Work: Mark was awesome, even my realtor was impressed by how thorough he was. Nothing but great things to say about Mark, he saved me from purchasing a home that would of been a money pit. On to the next home and I will definitely be using Mark again. He was worth extending my inspection beyond 5 days.

Description of Work: Mark was excellent! Very, very thorough top to bottom home inspection (and follow-up report with pictures/details). Great news was getting objective, neutral, professional advice. We are not selling our home - but wanted to see what needed to be on our project list. There were a couple of 'oh my' moments and some 'yeah, we thought that might need some future work'-- so now we clearly know what work we need to do! I HIGHLY recommend Mark - would absolutely use him again and have already recommended him to friends! You want to make sure you do the walk through/inspection with him -- you learn alot about your home!

Description of Work: Used Mark a few weeks back on a potential house purchase in Geneva ... He was incredibly detailed and discovered a couple major structural issues that had been missed by other inspectors. We ultimately walked away from the house given the issues but would highly recommend him and will look to use him in the future again.

How did it go overall - amazing.
Description of Work: Mark is the BEST! I had an inspection done by Mark that surpassed all of my expectations. Mark is thorough, conscientious, and professional. I called Mark on a Sunday - he promptly returned my phone call and set up an inspection date that same week. The day of the inspection, Mark explained what he would be doing and that I should follow him to learn about the house - which he explained in a manner that I could understand - every square inch and four hours later! You gotta love this guy! Mark is worth the money and I would seek him out in the future. I was amazed at how thorough and knowledgeable Mark was; I know exactly what I am buying and what I need to do in priority order to repair. Thanks Mark!

Excellent
Description of Work: Quick response to phone call for info, arrived on time at site. Very thorough and informative. In the long run he saved me thousands $$ by not investing in the property inspected (too much repair work to be done --- he was right on target with approximate costs to repair particular defect). Report was retrievable via computer when he said it would be---very timelyand detailed report. Will definitely use his services again.

The inspection went well. Mark arrived on time and walked us through each item of the inspection, starting on the exterior, then moving to the interior components of the house. The inspection finished with a summary review of important items.
Description of Work: Mark inspected the interior and exterior of the house and identified any areas of concern. He identified the potential cause of any problems and offered solutions and estimates for repair. He tested all systems and was extremely diligent and thorough in inspecting the property.

Mark spent over four hours looking in every nook and cranny of the house. He pointed out every little thing that was wrong or could be wrong with the home. Due to his inspection, he found hail damage on the roof, which we got a check from the seller's insurance company for $5800! And we also got extra credits for $850. Also when we moved in, we knew exactly what work needed to be done and have had no surprises. If you are thinking about buying a home, Mark is the BEST!!!!
Description of Work: Mark performed a full home inspection for the purpose of buying the inspected property. He inspected the roof, electrical, appliances, plumbing, HVAC, foundation, and the general structure of the premises.

Mark was outstanding. My calls were returned promptly. Mark walked me & my husband through our entire home & property, explaining everything he saw. He diagnosed problems, detailed what I could do, what needed to be done by a professional, what needed to be done immediately and what could wait. He explained how everything worked in my house, including some things I didn't know even after living in the house for 20 years. His written report included a description of each area in my home, the problems that needed to be worked on, a suggested solution and an estimated cost for the repair(s). He also included a CD of photos that he took related to each area & problem. And he did diagnose the roof problem and suggested a solution, giving me an independent opinion and a checklist for evaluating roofing bids. Having Mark inspect my home was one of the best things I've ever done.
Description of Work: I called Mark after two roofers submitted radically different bids for a roof replacement. I asked Mark to not only diagnose the roof problem, but to inspect my entire home to develop a punch list of repairs for me to work on in the years leading up to retirement.

Mark is exceptionally professional. He did a thorough inspection and generated a complete description of our home deficiencies including photos taken on the premises. He also provided an electronic version of the report which enabled us to "cut and paste" a punch list by category (e.g., plumbing, electrical, etc.). After having a new HVAC system installed, I asked Mark back to inspect the job. He found several deficiencies which I then pointed out to the HVAC company that subsequently corrected the problems. This was money well worth it.
Description of Work: We wanted a periodic inspection of our home to prioritize maintenance jobs.

We cannot say enough good things about Mark. He is professional, extremely thorough, and has a vast knowledge of home systems and construction. Mark was kind enough to take extra time with us to explain why certain things needed repair or maintenance, and pointed out where we could potentially do the work ourselves and where we needed a pro. We would not hesitate to hire Mark again and have already referred him to friends. This is the guy you want if you are a buyer!

Mark was excellent! He was on time, thorough and explained everything step by step. He examined the inside and outside of the property with great detail. I even received the full report the same day. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspection.

Mark is EXTREMELY thorough and inspected every inch of the home. He arrived early and began his inspection from the exterior until he was able to enter the home - working extremely efficiently. He also takes the time to point out every finding, explain its significance and the exact repair that is needed. He has promptly responded to any subsequent questions that I have had. Without question I would recommend his company to a prospective home buyer or investor.
