Will was great to work with. He inspected our 4 story condo building and provided a thorough report detailing not only the issues but also some suggested solutions. He was able to help us prioritize the work to be done. We have also followed his suggestions and they have worked great!

Decker was the PERFECT choice for my home inspection. Decker and his team were THOROUGH, PROFESSIONAL, PATIENT, and REASONABLE. The report is EASY TO UNDERSTAND and his NETWORK of professionals gave me CONFIDENCE to negotiate in my real estate deal and how to fix any issues. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Will Decker for home inspections! He is a GREAT INSPECTOR and did a GREAT JOB!

If you're buying a home or condo here in the Chicago area do not just settle for whoever the seller or realtor recommends, reach out to Decker Home Services. Knowledgable, professional and will tell it to you straight. It's clear they know what they are taking about, know what to look for, what are, and could be issues with the building, AND how to go about heading them off. 10/10. Do recommend!

My experience with Decker Home Inspection Services was extremely positive. I highly recommend Will Decker for any inspection in the Chicago area for a house, condo, multi-unit, or commercial property. My wife and I bid on a house on the North Shore and per the standard Illinois real estate contract, we of course needed to complete the home inspection within five business days. This isnt much time to get inspections scheduled, especially if you want to move quickly, get radon results ASAP, and not have to ask your attorney to extend the inspection contingency window for results to come back.
I expected one of my long-time friends in the area would have a strong recommendation for a good inspector. No one was enthusiastic about their home inspection experiences. I was told that many inspectors do a very superficial or cursory evaluation, and dont always have the certifications, training, and experience across all areas you want evaluated, or arent always up to date with current building codes. I also didnt want to go with the realtors inspector recommendations, as while Im sure they are all fine inspectors, I wanted an inspector who I trusted would be fully-objective and independent in evaluating the property. I also wanted someone who would be meticulous, thorough, pro-active, and detail-oriented, especially pertaining to an evaluation of the structural integrity of the home.
I found Decker Home Inspection Services through a Google search since they have some of the best reviews for the North Shore. Will Decker answered immediately when I called, and when I asked if he could help with recommendations for radon testing and a sewer scope, he was very proactive in saying I should schedule those immediately to get the radon results at the same time as his inspection report. I asked if he could help schedule/coordinate these, and he said yes, which I really appreciated, as I also needed to get our mortgage loan process moving quickly as well.
Wills feedback on-site at the time of the inspection as well as the thoroughness of the report he returned to me later that day both exceeded my expectations. I appreciated that he took the time to go over many details around the property and wanted to be thorough. He is extremely knowledgeable about construction methods, building materials, and local building codes. His reports are more detailed than other home inspection reports Ive seen. If you want to hire a home inspector who trains other home inspectors, you need not look further. Will is the guy you want to hire for your home inspection.
