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."

TR Miller Heating, Cooling, Plumbing and Electrical has provided the Plainfield, IL area with excellent HVAC, plumbing and electrical services since 2008. Offering straightforward pricing, emergency services and the latest technology, they will help with all of your home service needs. Call today to schedule your appointment!

"TR Miller Heating, Cooling & Plumbing I think an obvious first step for the company is to be more upfront with pricing. By offering an upfront cost of $79 to assess a plumbing issue seems reasonable. To then have a minimal price that starts at $494 for something as simple as a 45 minute repair seems very unfair. It is similar to a bait and switch--reasonable to ridiculous. I was very specific in my needs--which was to connect two 1" water pipes 4 3/8" apart. I even forwarded a pic before anyone from TR Miller came out to the residence. The explanation from the manager was inadequate and false. Manager stated pricing was based on 50% going to the technician, 40% for overhead, and 10% profit. While I have already gone through the manager's exaggerated pay rate for the technician repair at roughly $250 per hour, Glassdoor site shows a technician hourly salary ranging from $20-$33 per hour. Even at an hourly rate of $50 per hour, a 40 hour per week technician would be at an annual salary of $100k per year-- which is probably closer to reality for pricing. With inflated non-factual pricing to start for labor and then factoring your overhead and profit off of an inflated labor rate, you literally are overinflating pricing by a large margin. Very unfair for a homeowner enticed to use your service which supposedly starts at $79. Will continue to be dissatisfied with my experience with TR Miller. You are a predatory company taking advantage of people. Based on my math, you would have still had great and more fair margins for a 45 minute job charging $250 for the job."

Handyman doing light plumbing, electrical, moving, assembly, and general home repair. No remodeling or construction. I've been doing many types of repairs for over 30 years. Prompt response and on time to job sites.

"Mike has been an excellent friend and worker for me. I'm so thankful to have found him to take charge of returning a rental house into a prospective home to list on the market. He does great work, responds and communicates well. He's surprised me on a couple of occasions by taking care of some items I thought would require many more dollars to hire a contractor. I didn't mention I live 2,000 miles away from the rental, so it's been a godsend to have Mike onboard. Great guy, does great work."

"My case was an urgent one, and the Improved Comfort Heating & Air Conditioning team resolved the issue promptly and effectively that same day. It happened to be Halloween, a day when HOA staff usually leave early, yet their responsiveness was exceptional. When I called Mahdi to inform him of the situation, he arrived as quickly as possible despite the heavy traffic and repaired the heating system efficiently. Their office staff also kept me well informed about his schedule and handled everything with great professionalism. I truly appreciate their outstanding service and have added the company to my trusted list."

"I had very bad experience with Alliance Repair. The technician was here two times did not find out what is not working properly with the refrigerator and did not fix the problem at all. He had no problem collecting the $500 charge. After the two attempts to fix it Alliance went silent and did not offer any useful solution. We now had a technician from Kitchen Aid and he fixed the problem quickly. In short I can not recommend Alliance "Repair Service" I would call them Alliance collection Service at best."

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Yes, you should seal an unused chimney. Even if it’s not in use, the structure is still susceptible to moisture damage, which can lead to problems like cracks, spalling, efflorescence, and damaged mortar joints. But you should also cap the chimney to prevent blockages while still allowing for air ventilation (which also prevents moisture damage). Also, continue to get an annual chimney inspection to prevent other issues with the structure.

It’s best to install a wood-burning stove in a central location on the ground floor of your home. For many people, this means putting it in the living room. It also makes sense to install a wood stove in your living room if it has a working chimney that you can use to vent the stove’s exhaust.

How you stop your fireplace from smoking depends on the cause. Sometimes it’s as simple as opening the damper. Other times, you need to battle air pressure. The best course of action is to ensure proper ventilation, whether that means opening a door or a window; avoid building a large fire, which produces more smoke; and use seasoned hardwoods, which produce less smoke than other types of wood. If the issue persists, call a pro ASAP.

DIY installation is not recommended due to the complexities of gas line work and venting; professional installation ensures safety and compliance.

Stoves provide efficient heating, reduce energy costs, and add ambiance to living spaces.
