"Will you inspect in this town, city or county?"
Odds are i do, and have already inspected homes in your desired town- northeast Illnois is my general focus area - BUT feel free to call me at 708 453 8447 if you want to be sure. BTW- i do not charge for mileage.

"How long does a home Inspection take?"
An average home takes about 3 hours or more.
Smaller homes will sometimes take less time, larger will take more time of course. Also factor extra time if we will discuss certain areas or issues found.

"Can i be there for the inspection?"
You are encouraged but not REQUIRED to stay the entire time, however it is recomended you are present for at least the first part to sign the contract, ask questions, etc. 

"When & how will i get the report?"
From the end of the inspection it usually takes a day to organize, research and write the inspection report. The file will be in a PDF which is emailed to you, or it can be uploaded to my website where you can use the link from any computer to access the report. My reports are not cheap "on site" checklists, there is a wealth of easy to understand information- plus they typically contain hundreds of pictures and illustrations.
