Are you looking to purchase a new home? Whether to support a growing family, to decrease the size of your property, or build an investment portfolio, home inspections are highly recommended before you buy. While a property may look appealing, there may be potential problems hidden in crawl spaces, attics, around foundations and other areas. Let SLS Home Inspections help you spot problems before they become costly repairs or impact your health and safety.
Why is SLS Home Inspections “The Home Inspector With a Heart?” The video >>>> explains it. Sometimes things happen that make you take a real hard look at your life and how you’re living it. A heart attack in December 2012 was that event. If there is any lesson for anyone reading this or that watches the video, it’s that listening to your body and making visits to your doctor a regular habit, hopefully before it’s too late. Scott was lucky he lived so close to an ambulance and was able to get to the ER for immediate help when seconds mattered most.

We pride ourselves on our customer service from first time nervous buyers to seasoned investors. We give all our clients the same level of detailed and thorough inspections and hope that eye for detail shows through. Our reviews tell the story and if you feel that your inspection was worth the time and your hard earned money, we would love it and encourage you to leave us a review after your inspection. Here are just a few reviews from our past clients.
Do you want peace of mind? We can deliver. Thousands of happy and satisfied clients will say that we don’t just do a report and disappear. We are your consultant for as long as you live in the home. Our past clients constantly refer us to their friends and relatives and children. That is the biggest compliment we can get. Don’t make the mistake of skipping or going bargain basement on a home inspection. You want the best, we deliver for you.
You know what they always say? Safety is no accident. Your family’s safety is our number one goal at a home inspection. Period. It may be a big issue or something small and easy to fix. Either way, it will be in the report, usually with pictures.
Great thing to say, but not so easy to do. Buying a new home is very stressful. Paperwork by the mountains, packing up a lifetime into boxes, saving lots of money for all the costs of buying a home and changing schools or jobs. Sometimes major family events could be happening like a job change, wedding, new baby, death in the family or divorce. Worrying about what is going on in your new home is where we can help. Our inspection is designed to make the condition of the new home as simple and non-alarming, while still letting you know the seriousness of any issues. We will take the time after the inspection to answer any questions you may have. Peace of Mind? We can deliver.
Experience matters. That’s what you’re paying for. If you were getting eye surgery, you would want to know what experience that doctor had for your surgery. You would never say, “Who’s the cheapest eye surgeon around to operate on my eyeballs.” You would want the most experienced. Our team has completed thousands of inspections since 2007. Read our reviews, ask your friends, coworkers and relatives who did their inspections.
Do you like reading reports with technical mumbo jumbo and hard to understand industry specific terms? Of course not, no one does. Our reports are well written, easy to understand with normal comments and with color pictures detailing and highlighting the issues. We ALWAYS deliver the report the same day. No Fail, everytime. The report will help determine what are the issues that are most important to you.
Cost of a home inspection depends on a variety of factors including: square footage, age of the home, extra outbuildings, location.
We offer a $25 hero discount to active and Retired Military, Paramedics, Firefighters, Police and Sheriff, Nurses and Teachers. Thank you for all you do to serve.
For pricing for a specific property, please call our office (815) 644-6271.
A complete home inspection generally takes between 2 and 3 hours onsite. This allows time for assessment of the home’s exterior, interior, mechanical and electrical systems. We welcome the buyers to attend the inspection and your inspector will work to thoroughly explain all significant findings. We can also spend as much time on the phone if you are unable to attend.
The short answer, No. An inspection is an unbiased report based on the condition of a home at the time of the inspection. A property can’t fail and the main reason is that any problem can be, or has been repaired. It is simply an informational tool for you to use when evaluating a property.
