Keeshin Inspection Services, Inc.

Stuart is THOROUGH! And just easy to talk to and informative. I would pay his fee again just to have him walk through the house with me and listen to all of his tips. I highly recommend doing an inspection with Stuart. And be there when he is doing it! You will learn a lot about your property and homes in general. Thank you Stuart!

I am a first time home buyer… so there is a lot I need to learn! Luckily Stuart was extremely thorough with our home inspection and was sure to explain and teach us a long the way. He was also very friendly!

I cannot say enough good things about Stuart Keeshin. I highly recommend Keeshin Inspection for home inspection. We were recommended to Keeshin Inspection by family members who had worked with Stuart on a home that they were considering. I called Stuart’s team and had our home inspection scheduled in minutes. On the day of the inspection Stuart was the first one at the property. He had blocked a four-​hour period for a three-​bedroom/​two-​bathroom condominium in Lincoln Park. What impressed us most was Stuart being so considerate of us during the process: he encouraged us to walk the property with him and took the time to explain the good and the bad. After he had completed the inspection he had an email to us within twelve hours with a download to his inspection report that covered everything that he had addressed: Summary; Roofing; Exterior; Structure; Electrical; Heating; Cooling; Insulation; Plumbing; Interior. He walked every square inch of our place checking everything from outlets to doors and everything in between. He examined our HVAC system; washer/​dryer; range; dishwasher; checked for leaks; walked the rooftop; inspected the garage and the exterior… on and on. He even walked and inspected the common area elements. We knew he was looking out for our interests. The inspectors report PDF version was so easy to read and was much appreciated by our attorney. After the seller addressed the deficiencies that we wanted completed before closing, Stuart came back to the property to ensure that the work was indeed done. He enjoys his work and protects the home buyer. A+++. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

When I bought my first house in 2005, I hired Mr. Keeshin and at the time I was really impressed. To be honest, I was surprised at how thorough he was, how long we was at the residence, and the amount of work he did after the inspection. He was clearly knowledgable, and I was really pleased and impressed.
Since then, I have bought and sold several more houses as investments and have rehabbed them, hiring Mr. Keeshin each time. As a seller several times, I have now seen the reports and comments of about 5 other inspectors, and now more than ever I know that I have found the best inspector out there. There is such a difference, it is like apples and oranges. Looking at the other reports, I found so often that information contradicted itself, didn’t make any sense, or had such little supporting information and pictures that neither buyer nor seller were sure of what it meant. This is not the case with the Keeshin inspections. Everything is organized, precise, and clear.
Also, I don’t know if this is the case with other inspectors, but Mr. Keeshin is always available afterwards to answer questions and often provides suggestions of where to turn for different issues.
I have recommended Mr. Keeshin to every friend who I have who is buying a new place, and all have been really happy with him. In fact, several have gone on to hire him for subsequent purchases and have recommended him to friends and family in the area as well, referring to him as their «guy». I jokingly remind them that he is my guy.

Stuart does a great job inspecting homes and condos.
I’ve worked with Stuart for many years and I recommend him to all my clients and friends who need a great inspector for their home purchases of all property types!

If I could give zero stars I would. I thought Stuart did a decent job, that is until I had an HVAC company in to clean the system when we moved in and they opened the furnace and looked at it, Stuart had said they would try to get us to buy a new furnace, the thing is — we NEED it. Stuart looked at 2 major gas and fire hazards and told us it wasn’t a big deal. We had a second opinion to confirm they are indeed hazards. He dismissed these two major flaws as minor. If he had done his job we would have insisted on a credit from the sellers, now we can’t have the furnace on until it’s replaced, for fear of both a gas leak and a fire. awesome. He also missed more window issues and a few other things. He did such a horrendous job I’m just waiting to see what else he missed.

When asked if he would go on the roof, I was told that it would be an additional charge. I agreed to it as I wanted to know the condition of the roof as well as the AC unit. No big deal I was willing to pay the extra money as it was worth it. I happened to be outside (the home inspector did not know that I was watching), but he went up on the ladder and looked at the flat roof from the ladder for 2 seconds and then came back down. He never walked up on the roof to check the condition of the roof or AC unit. When he was coming back down the ladder I asked did you assess the condition of the roof and AC unit. He stated it was fine. Shortly after living in my condo, the roof had major problems in 5 areas, visible holes. All that would have been visible to the home inspector if he had gone up on the roof.
