"I had some backup into the basement, they came to rod it out and told me I needed to check the line going to the street and they could come back for a video check. Well they said they came back and took the video and I needed some expensive work to clear the line. I called to ask them for the video, they said that they'd have someone call me back. They called me back and said that there was no video, their worker didn't put in a USB drive and besides they said I didn't ask for one. What did they expect I was asking for??? I said I expected and wanted a video, how do I know they even really performed the work. They said they would call me back. THEY DIDN'T. I called them back, they again said they'd call me. Again no call. The last time they told me, the owner was on another call but would definitely call me back. One week later NO CALLBACK. I firmly believe they didn't do a video, charged me for one and took me for a sucker. I will NEVER use this company again. I think they are crooks. P.S. Ever since they rodded the drain one of my toilets started have trouble flushing. I won't doubt they messed it up so they could come back again for more money. DO NOT USE. P.P.S. I wonder if they will contact me on this posting, I doubt it."

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

How long a fireplace lasts depends on the type of fireplace in question. Gas inserts may last 10 to 25 years when properly maintained while electric fireplaces typically top out at 20 years. A traditional brick fireplace can last centuries, though you’ll need to keep up with maintenance and repair over the years, including tuckpointing.

They provide excellent heat retention and durability and add a classic aesthetic to a home.

If you have a gas fireplace, you should be able to see a vent exiting the fireplace directly to the outside of your home. You may also see gas lines leading to the fireplace. If the firebox in the fireplace is completely empty, it’s a wood-burning fireplace. There should be no burners or igniters in the fireplace.

Hardwoods such as oak, maple, and hickory are the best types of wood to burn in a wood stove. These woods burn hotter and longer than softwoods, producing less creosote and fewer emissions. Hardwoods provide a more efficient and cleaner burn, which helps maintain better air quality and reduces the frequency of cleaning and maintenance required for your stove.

Yes, you can put a freestanding one in a corner if you’re tight on space. Because pellet stoves don’t get as hot as other types of wood stoves, there only needs to be 3 inches of clearance from the wall on each side. Placing it in a corner should not impact the ventilation—you’ll still need to follow safety precautions by not installing too close to a window. Typically, it’s 4 feet from a window or 18 inches if the stove uses an external air source for combustion. Always check the owner’s manual for specific instructions.
