Inspecting homes in Huntley
Huntley's growth — particularly Del Webb's Sun City and the surrounding subdivisions — means a very large share of local inspections are new or nearly-new construction. That changes the job substantially.
New homes aren't defect-free; they're differently defective. What we find is workmanship, not wear: missing or compressed insulation, unsealed penetrations at top plates, HVAC ducts disconnected in the attic, reversed polarity at receptacles, missing kick-out flashing at roof-to-wall junctions, and grading that hasn't yet been brought to final elevation.
For anyone buying a builder home in Huntley, the two inspections worth booking are pre-drywall (while the framing, plumbing and wiring are still visible) and the eleven-month warranty inspection — the second one is the highest-return inspection in new construction and the one buyers forget most often.
In the Sun City sections we also look closely at whether homes have been adapted well for aging in place, particularly at grab bar backing, stair and step transitions and water heater temperature settings.
Neighborhoods we work in: Sun City, Talamore, Wing Pointe, Georgian Place, Cider Grove and downtown Huntley, and throughout the 60142 ZIP codes.

What we can inspect
for you here.
Pre-Purchase (Buyer's) Inspection
The full walkthrough before you commit — roof to foundation, with a punch list you can take straight to the negotiating table.
Learn more ›Pre-Listing (Seller's) Inspection
Find the deal-breakers before a buyer's inspector does. Fix them on your timeline and keep renegotiation out of your closing.
Learn more ›New Construction Inspection
Builders miss things. We inspect at pre-drywall and before your final walkthrough, while everything is still the builder's job to fix.
Learn more ›Thermal Imaging (Infrared)
Infrared sees moisture behind drywall, missing insulation and overheating breakers — problems invisible to the naked eye. Included with every inspection.
Learn more ›Radon Testing
Kane and DuPage sit in EPA Radon Zone 1. We place a continuous monitor for 48 hours and give you hour-by-hour pCi/L data.
Learn more ›Why radon matters here
McHenry & Kane is EPA Radon Zone 1.
Northern Illinois has the geology to produce elevated indoor radon, and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency recommends that every home be tested below the third floor. Two houses on the same Huntley street can test completely differently, so a neighbor's result tells you nothing about the home you're buying.
We test with a continuous radon monitor over 48 hours rather than a charcoal kit — you get hourly readings, tamper detection and a result that stands up in a real estate transaction. The monitor is placed during your inspection and collected two days later, which fits inside a normal contingency window.
Reviews
What clients say.
Hardik was our inspector and we have nothing but amazing things to say. He took his time explaining every detail of our home and answered all our questions. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional — I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Hardik did a wonderful job inspecting our first home. He took his time and explained everything in detail. Thanks to his inspection we were able to negotiate many needed repairs to the home and feel satisfied and confident with our purchase.
We did a pre-listing inspection and fixed the four things he flagged. The buyers' inspector found nothing new and we closed at asking with no credits. Best money we spent on the sale.
