The Home Inspection Man

Excellent service. Knowledgeable inspector & gave great advice on home repairs & maintenance.

Richard did an outstanding job on our home inspection. Very thorough. My husband walked the house with him and Richard was very helpful and detailed explaining items to him. We felt very confident in our final report. The online scheduling process was simple. The communication was excellent. Very happy we decided to go with The Home Inspection Man.

I believe I got him from my realtor. He could have carved a bunch of the wiring issues but he didn't know it.

Gary was super fast to reply and was able to schedule a time the following day.  He was on time and great.  Showed us what we needed to know and shared good information.  I would call again if needed.

I contacted several inspectors and this is the one with the best response time and quickest appointment availability. Their price was also very competitive. We had an evening appointment due to work, but Eric the inspector arrived about 30 minutes earlier to examine the exterior before it was dark. Very thoughtful. And he was extremely thorough in identifying potential problems and explained areas that may need repairs. He sent out the report the same night before midnight, which helped us get back to the seller in a very timely manner. The seller eventually agreed to repair many items as listed, and save us a lot of trouble. We are very glad that we found the Home inspection Man on Angieslist, and will for sure use them in the future when needed.

We found "The Home Inspection Man" through Angie's list and we got excellent service. As other Angie's list members have described, Eric was already at the house to do the outside inspection before the scheduled time. When we got there he was ready to show us everything on the outside. Then we moved inside and we went from floor to floor (he first did the inspection himself and then got us to go through the items). Since this is the first home we are buying, Eric was very, very patient with our questions and made sure we understand the difference between regular maintenance items vs. items that are of concern. He educated us on many levels and we feel much more prepared to be "first time home owners".
We also had requested a Radon test and the drop-off and pick-up was very smooth. 
Thank you Eric and "The Home Inspection Man"-team!

Mike did an excellent job.  He was extremely professional and was helpful in answering all questions I had.  I would definitely use them again.

Eric Olsauskas  from "The Home Inspection Man" completed a home inspection just 2 days after being contacted through Angie's List.  The inspection was very thorough and Eric took the time to address any/all of our questions, and walk us through the full report item by item.  Eric identified several areas of concern that while not major, would soon turn into large / expensive fixes if not addressed in a timely manner.  Most valuable to me,  Eric was patient and helped trouble shoot some of the features/designs of that house that appear to have been altered in a re-model - While that was not really his role and not technically part of the inspection process beyond checking building code, etc , he was happy to spend some extra time trying to unravel the mystery that can often come with a partial remodel (Basement) and the "work arounds"  that might be hidden in the walls that could present problems in the future.
Will for sure use Eric if we ever move again.

Eric from The Home Inspection Man arrived at the property promptly and had a preliminary analysis of the exterior ready by the time I arrived. His inspection was thorough, uncovering several 'hidden' issues including mold and wood destroying insect damage that would have otherwise been costly and dangerous surprises. Eric was efficient, professional and took the time to answer our many questions concerning his findings. I believe we received a quality inspection and would recommend The Home Inspection Man.

Overall, I would highly recommend their services for you home inspection.  First off, I was able to schedule the appointment online giving all of the information needed which was a nice feature.  I then received a phone call a few minutes later to confirm the appointment and then verify the information.  I wish that more of the info online would have been available for the scheduler.  The price was more than fair and I received a $20 off coupon by finding them on Angie's List.  All I had to do was tell the scheduler and it was done.
The day of the inspection, he beat me to the property and had already inspected the exterior before I arrived at the appointment which was nice.  Joe was very easy to talk to and understand as he answered my questions and explained things to me in layman's terms.  He was very thorough and did a great job.  He provided me with a pre-made binder with all of the home information and a copy of the handwritten inspection.  Color pictures, and even some address labels!  What a nice touch.  
The .pdf report was emailed to me the very same day and was very detailed.  Amazing service.  It came with tons of new homeowner information and links to helpful websites.  
Awesome experience, thank you.

We first called ":The Inspection Man" to do a home inspection on a home in Jolet, IL Although we were not able to be at the inspection we were pleased with all the feedback that was given. Michael pointed out everything that was humanly possible to see.
A month later we called "The Inspection Man" again. (Another Home inspection) Michael was once again very thorough.
As long as they're in a serviceable area we will continue to use them.
Thank You

Very thorough. Explained everything. Easy to talk to.

Everything turned out fine. He was professional and on time.

It went very well.  He answered any questions any I had.  He was very thorough and we would use him again.

He showed up on-time. He was knowledgeable and it was a good experience.

responsive and thorough. Scheduled and completed on short notice which was very helpful

I had to point out some visual defects I found to the Inspector.  The inspection took about 1.5 hours which I thought it was shorter than expected.  The good thing was he did came out the second time after I suspected he may have missed something.

Poorly.
