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."

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Asbestos is commonly found in certain older homes, depending on the time period in which they were built. Asbestos use in home construction began in the 1920s and peaked after World War II before being limited by legislation in the ’70s, so a house constructed in 1880 is unlikely to contain asbestos, while one built in 1950 is much more likely to. Research a home’s history to determine the time period when it was built and any renovations made since.

While a hygrometer is the most accurate tool for measuring humidity levels in the home, you can gauge humidity levels using simpler methods. One way is by observing signs like condensation on windows or feeling excessively sticky or clammy indoors, indicating higher humidity. Another DIY approach involves the “hair method”—aka placing a few strands of human hair in a closed container with salt for several hours. If the hair becomes limp, it's likely due to high humidity. These methods offer rough estimations, but lack the precision of a hygrometer for accurate readings.

Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.

If the anode rod is no longer protecting your tank, you’ll spot telltale signs when you turn on a faucet. A bad anode rod can cause discoloration in your water, a rotten egg smell, intermittent hot water, and air in the water lines. Since these are symptoms of sediment damage to your water heater, don’t wait for them to occur before checking on the anode rod. 

Yes, a pot filler can add value to a home by attracting buyers with its combination of prestige and usefulness. When building or renovating a kitchen, pot filler installation costs can add value without significantly increasing your overall budget. However, it's important to consider the overall design and layout of your kitchen before deciding to install a pot filler. Unlike other parts of the stove, a pot filler may not be used every day. Pot fillers are most appreciated in larger kitchens with a large distance between the sink and stove. In a smaller kitchen with a sink located close to the stove, a pot filler may seem like an unnecessary feature to some potential buyers.
