Best home inspectors near Morrison, IL

"I hired them to clean my chimney. They did a thorough job and also inspected the screens on both chimneys. Very fast but thorough."

"The process was easy, and pricing options were provided up fromt. They gave clear instructions about what they needed for the appraisal. They provided an appraisal quickly, with a nice turn around time. I would call this company again next I need an appraisal."

"Kevin was very professional and answered all my questions easily. Green Valley was by no means the cheapest quote we received, but we felt comfortable they would do quality work. If the cheapest price is your only concern, then Green Valley is the wrong company for you. We were foremost concerned with quality, and we were willing to pay for the quality we expected. After all, the warranty on a metal roof is only as good as the company who installs it, so I wanted a company that is local and stands by their work. And, they had better financing options that our bank, which was impressive. Kevin was great, and he showed us exactly what brands they used for skylights (Velux) and metal shingles (Decra XD), and he showed us samples of the products and why they were better quality. And, it wasn’t just talk, the samples matched exactly with what materials were used on the jobsite. Believe me, I checked, lol! Green Valley delivered exactly what they said they would. Kevin answered my questions about how they handled jobs that didn’t exactly go according to plan (because customer service definitely matters when things go wrong). A metal roof is a big financial investment, and I wanted to make sure that Green Valley recognized the amount of trust necessary for that kind of expense. Kevin set a great, positive tone for the company. We felt comfortable enough to sign that day, even though I had two more appointments with other roofing companies. The crew that came out to tear off and replace the asphalt roofing was AMAZING. They tore off and replaced the entire roof on the house and garage, installed the giant skylight and my beloved sun tunnel, cleaned everything up, and were done IN A DAY AND A HALF!! I was shocked they were that fast. They cleaned up every single time before they left for the day, and they constantly checked for any nails, which I appreciated since I have dogs. They arrived promptly every morning and were professional and thoughtful to work clean at all times. David came back for the final inspection of the roof, and I thought he would do a cursory, “Ok, looks great, thanks bye” without really looking things over. Boy, was I wrong. David was up on the roof inspecting and touching up here and there for the better part of two hours, and it was hot as **** out. That’s the attention to detail that I chose Green Valley for over the other companies out there. If you are spending this much money, you want someone who is more picky than you are, and for this reason, David is amazing. One small thing that was a little frustrating was the fact they installed the sun tunnel at an angle, not straight down as we had previously discussed. Being hunched over in an extremely hot and cramped attic, trying to make the sun tunnel line up in the kitchen was not fun. Fortunately, David had ordered me the extension kit, just in case, so I was able to correct the problem myself. Regardless, I love that sun tunnel so much, and my only regret is that I did not get another one for the living room or office. It lets in so much light, but without the heat from a skylight! Win win in the summertime! I LOVE MY VELUX SUN TUNNEL! I am so happy with it. We are already talking about replacing all the windows in the house, and I will definitely be calling Green Valley when we do. I have recommended Green Valley to my friends and family, and I would use them again, without hesitation."

"We contacted Indiana Foundation for a free inspection of our attached garage that we're turning into a bedroom for our handicapped son. We had several places that leaked where the wall meets the floor. A Mr John Hill did the inspection and then answered all our questions to our satisfaction. He was quite the professional but did not pressure us in any way, like most salesmen do. We decided to go ahead and schedule to get the waterproofing done. The cost was reasonable and it made sense to get it done now rather than wait for more damage to occur, making it more expensive. We look forward to meeting the crew. John Hill came as an inspector and left as a friend. Indiana Foundation is lucky to have him on their team."

"Mark is very thorough and dependable. Not only gave me the cons to my home but also the pros. Would definitely hire again and recommend to anyone."

"Dillon and George were efficient, friendly, fast, fun, and really know what they're doing. Dillon explained the work details, answered our questions, and was upfront with costs, which we felt were reasonable. It was amazing what they cleaned out of our duct work (even an old dead mouse...ick!). We plan to use Preferred Home Improvements again in the future...thanks guys!"

"Very good experience. The technician was punctual and very professional. After giving him a description of the issue he did an inspection and found the problem fast. He did not leave until he verified several times everything was working properly. I'm very satisfied with his job and with the promptitude Choice Home Warranty found a technician during this difficult times."

"Seepage Issue Prior To Work Done
We had a minor seepage issue in 3-4 areas of our basement.  Minor meaning small puddles of water develop if and only if we get heavy and long rain storms.  The house was built in 1929 and did not have a sump pump or pit.  
Down the road, we plan to finish the basement, eventually my wife and I agreed to commit to fixing the seepage issue and this is where the story starts.  
( Short story: Brian, his crew, and overall integrity is excellent, I highly recommend Crawlspace/Basement Waterproofing Solutions.  They will sell you what you need and they will make sure you are happy.)    Long Story (I recommend reading):
In the beginning......Getting Quotes
I consider myself to be above average DIY person however fixing seepage is not in my skill set.  I had no idea how much money would be required to fix our seepage issue. My expectation was $3000-$4000.
First we had US Waterproofing out.  They sent a salesman which for me is an immediate turn off.  The salesman was okay but not impressive....to be honest more then a little rough.  In the end, he gave us a quote that was $8000.00.  This was surprisingly and uncomfortably large sum of money plus in my opinion, the proposed seepage solution was in my opinion a solution for a severe seepage problem.  My opinion, up selling; selling me too much. Side note, they did offer financing options that were good.  
 (total time at least 1.5 hours)  
With the US Waterproofing quote in hand, for the next 1-2 week my wife and I continued to discuss the situation.  I was really bummed about the 8k.  Eventually, I got my head together and thankfully did not commit to US Waterproofing.  Instead we put their quote aside and called Perma-Seal.
Perma-Seal came out.  Another salesman another immediate turn off.  However, the salesman was great.  He gave a very impressive presentation that covered the company, recommended products to solve our seepage issue, and what the process would be to solve our seepage issue.  In the end, he first proposed a solution that was super over the top, I believe it was $10,000.00.  After reminding him money is tight and I want a solution for the specific areas of the basement, his second proposed solution was $7900.00.  Not good.  Too much money and my gut feeling continued, up selling; selling to much.  Side note, they did offer financing options that were good however it was simply to much money to commit to.  (total time at least 1.5 hours)
With US Waterproofing quote and Perma-Seal quote in hand and little depression (on my part), my wife and I took another 1-2 weeks to talk.  I almost committed to a quote but thankfully I did not.  Eventually I got me head together again.  I joined Angie's List.  Reviewed the basement seepage businesses in the area by rank and found Crawlspace/Basement Waterproofing Solutions ranked #2.  This was a bit exciting.  I read a few reviews and got even more excited, there was 1 or 2 reviews that seemed to reflect my situation; everyone wants to sell me cashmere when I am confident I only need cotton. 
So I called Crawlspace/Basement Waterproofing Solutions.   Brian the owner and crew chief (immediately impressed) came over to inspect and propose a solution/quote. He gave us a quote for exactly what we needed and it was quick and easy.   Side note, I did tell him I had the other two quotes but I did not show or tell him the numbers and did not tell him our money is tight.  His quote $2800.00.  WOW!  (total time: 40 min)
My wife and I were so happy however I was a bit worried, two businesses quote me $8000 and this guy wants $2800?!?!.  To be clear, the $2800 was for installing a sump pump it, sump pump, the drainage system from pit to outside, drainboards on the walls, trench and install drain tile inside basement, concrete the drain tile inside basement, and cementing my ugly/nasty crawlspace.  His work comes with a warranty for the life of the home and is transferable to the next owner. 
After committing to Brian, 4 days later he arrived with his crew as scheduled.  The crew completed the project in 1.5 days as planned.  During the 1.5 days I closely monitored the crew's work and chatted with them.  Additional, I had a few long chats with Brian.  The entire team is excellent.  Happy, polite, personable, and hard working.  I was very impressed with the team.  When the work was completed, Brian called be twice to ensure we where happy with the work.  There was a very minor cosmetic issue that I mentioned.  Brian immediately setup a guy to come out in 1-2 business days.......the minor issue was fixed (no charge).
Since the completion, we have had 3 long extra heavy rain storms.  No water in basement!  YES!  Wife and I are very happy.
Additional Notes About Brian and His Guys:
Extra work was done and we were not charged.
Brian is personable, 100% kept all promises, sold us what we needed, fun, and maintains a hard working and happy team.
Call Brian!  Do it!
