Home Team Inspection of Arlington Heights

A friend used it then recommended me last year.
They actually didn’t do a good job. In the final report a lot of sections were read as «something was blocked and couldn’t inspect».
The property is a 2 floors house. When they do the roof inspection, they were just used a binoculars to check the roof from the ground without went up to the roof. Since the backyard was at the lower ground and the yard distance wasn’t enough, they couldn’t see a part of the roof then state that couldn’t fully inspect.
They did find out some serious problems of the house. However, some obvious issues they didn’t even mention. The chimney bricks were cracked crazy they din’t find out. The corner of the basement wall was cracked they didn’t find out. The basement crack caused blooded crawl space during raining days.
When I called them about the chimney issue, they responded they saw it but didn’t think it required a fix right away. I actually don’t even believe they saw it since they didn’t even mention it. The inspection was in winter. I believe they were just being lazy. The bricks fall in pieces everyday still.
Another serious problem was the bath tub. The previous home owner painted with white. Once we used the tub, the paints were peeled off then we could see the rust. I called the inspection company again and this time they told us it’s hard to inspect. It required to run the water for a long time. Anyway, they always have excuses.
I would suggest everyone to hire a more professional contractor.

Home Team Inspection did a horrible inspection. This company sucks. I have told everyone I know to make sure they don’t use them.

The inspection was great, they found lots of issues that I have the seller fix. They were very thorough.
HOWEVER, read your contract carefully because they gave my name and cell phone number to a third party for solicitation without ever verbally telling me, they just write it into the conract. I think this is very unprofessional and I wouldn’t ever use this company again.
