As a young adult starting at age fifteen, I worked along side carpenters, electricians, flooring experts and cabinet makers. In working with my father, uncles and cousins, we completed a 3,500 square foot home from the ground up. This was the start of understanding all systems that make up a house, including what truly makes it a home... the family that resides there. ​ In valuing and appreciated what it means to be a family, it is my passion making my clients the #1 priority. As a family man, Home Inspector, and a 203KFHA/HUD Rehab Consultant, it is very important to me that my clients know and understand all systems (and any deficiencies) in the home they are about to purchase or sell. As a 203K Rehab Consultant, my job is to ensure all general contractors perform their renovation job in a timely manner, meet local code requirements, and never take advantage of my clients. My focus is to protect my clients safety and major investment. ​ I also volunteer as a member of the Board of Directors for the non profit organization Greater Chicagoland Fellowship. At GCF we provide affordable housing for low to moderate income individuals, families, and help revitalization efforts on the communities we serve. Superior quality, comprehensive and thorough inspections performed by a professionally trained home inspector. We treat every inspection with pride and integrity. Our inspection will be conducted in accordance with the Illinois standards of home inspection.

"Great service very quick and thorough. Reasonably priced as well."

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Even though ventless fireplaces are safe to use overall, you shouldn’t let them run for more than a few hours per day. It’s also important to make sure the room with the fireplace is well-ventilated. If not, the water vapor from the fire could increase the humidity levels in your home, potentially resulting in mold growth.

Common problems include pilot light failure, clogged burners, and faulty ignition systems. Regular maintenance prevents many issues.

Your fireplace flue is open when the chimney is unsealed and open to the outside air and sky. That’s why one of the best ways to figure out if your flue is open is to visually check for daylight inside of your chimney—or to feel for a draft, which may be generated by the difference in temperatures inside and outside of your home.

Like other kinds of masonry and brickwork, a properly installed chimney should have a lifespan that extends beyond multiple generations of homeowners. But there are parts of the chimney that will need to be replaced more frequently. 

  • Clay tile or cast-in-place liners should be replaced every 50 years.

  • Stainless steel liners will last an average of 15–20 years.

  • Mortar will require replacement every 25–30 years.

  • Chimney crowns have an average lifespan of 50–75 years.

Yes, a chimney cap is an excellent idea for several reasons. It prevents debris, rain, or snow from entering your chimney, which can cause moisture damage or blockages. A cap with a mesh screen also keeps animals like birds, squirrels, and bats from nesting in your chimney—or worse, getting into your abode. Additionally, chimney caps help prevent downdrafts, which can push smoke and harmful gases back into your home. Lastly, by installing a chimney cap, you will improve safety and enhance the overall efficiency of your fireplace.
