Home Inspection

Key points of a home inspection.

Inspecting a house, single family home, condo, multi-family buildings, and new construction homes comes with many important considerations to examine. Every inspection must conform to the standards of the State of Illinois and the Standards of Practice of the American Society of Home Inspectors. The inspection consists of a visual examination of the interior and exterior elements of the dwelling, as well as the structure of the property.

At Meck Home Inspections Inc. inspections are done with the customer in mind, providing a thorough and complete assessment of the condition of the property. Inspection reports are GUARANTEED to be provided to the client within 24 hours of the initial inspection and include color photos to help understand the report.

Light Commercial Inspections

Commercial Property inspections are similar in scope to the home inspection and are guided by the same principles found in the State of Illinois and the Standards of Practice of the American Society of Home Inspectors. Commercial Property Inspection property types include, but are not limited to, warehouses, low rise offices, retail space, hotels and motels, and restaurants. The light commercial inspection is for small to medium/large size commercial real estate of up to 10,000 square feet.

Business owners can benefit from a complete and thorough inspection that can help determine if the property suits their needs and budget for long term property ownership. While similar to a traditional home inspection, commercial inspections typically involve different materials, larger system (HVAC and plumbing), and more advanced electrical. Commercial inspections start at $400.00 and vary based on size and complexity.
