Brad was thorough, friendly and detailed. He took his time with everything and answered every question we had. Would definitely request Brad if need another home inspection in the future.
The BrickKicker was recommend to us by our real estate agent through Redfin. Although our initial experience during the inspection was positive, we have since uncovered significant issues in the house that we believe should have at least been communicated more effectively with us prior to closing on our home. This…
Extremely happy with the home inspection conducted by Tom P. from BrickKickers today. He was on time (actually a bit early), professional, and did a thorough job that included detailed notes, photos, and answering the questions asked.
First time home buyers and when we signed the contract we only have 5 days to have a complete inspection done. Jumped on the phone right away to check quotes and Susie was able to give us estimates quickly. BrickKickers were priced the best in the Tinley park/oak forest area! $395 for home inspection, $230 for the…
Don did an amazing job. Explained and took his time showing what needs to be done or repaired.
Purchasing my first home and BrickKickers made the home inspection experience a breeze. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend but Thomas made sure my husband was well informed and understood every step on the inspection.
Andrew from Brick Kicker Inspection service came out to inspect a house that I am buying and he was great. Very knowledgeable, went through everything with me and answered all of my questions and even gave me tips on what to do. His report was very detailed explaining everything that needs to be done and how to even…
Rick was wonderful! Thanks so much!
Buying a home can be a stressful process and the last thing you want to do is purchase a home without obtaining a proper inspection.

Very thorough, and they explain what they have found in addition to giving a very detailed report with photos.
Will was very helpful in telling us all of the information about our house! Brickkicker is a great place for an inspection and reasonable prices!
Great service, starting from the first phone call to schedule a inspection. Everything is explained and they work with you and your schedule. The inspection it self was very detailed. They check everything. The inspector was very professional. Asked for your concerns and answered all questions. Overall, best service for home inspections.
Had an appointment Today with Thomas S. For a full home inspection and it went very well: by the end I felt I knew the home comprehensively. He was also abke to maoe many suggestions for device/material updating. Would highly recommend... No brainer...
The guy was very thorough would of good because i had a feeling that my realtor wasn't being honest. Soon as he became he pointed out a major issue I wasn't aware of. I think realtors call him to try to make him back track his words. But it was 2 late because he assured me things I already foresaw
We recently used BrickKicker for our home inspection. We could not have been more pleased! Dave was our inspector and took his time explaining every detail to us, answered all our questions, and was very thorough in his inspection.

My wife and I recently needed a home inspection and Luis was very knowledgeable when we asked questions about part of the house. He took his time and allowed us to walk alongside him.

Ed was very easy and friendly to work with and he has lots of knowledge! Super thorough and honest. Would recommend to anyone buying a home!
I used Brick Kicker in 2017 to do my home inspection. Unfortunately the inspector incorrectly stated my electrical panel was 200 Amps when in reality it is 150. I had some work done about a year later and after it was shown the inspection was incorrect, I was not offered a solution that was viable since a panel…
BrickKickers handled my home inspection very well. They were thorough, detailed, helpful, and friendly. Communication with them is simple and responsive. 10/10 I'm using them again!

Will was wonderful to work with. He was very thorough when performing the inspection, and explained as we went along. IF we had questions he did not hesitate to help us understand.

Outstanding service by Nathan. Very polite, very thorough and answered every question I could come up with. I would highly recommend BrickKicker. (Edit was to reflect the correct tech who helped us.)
thanks Kevin for your timely response and completion of the task
After living in our home for two weeks, we have found multiple issues that should have been identified by the inspector but were not - oven door not closing properly, fan/light switch broken in one of the bedrooms, and roof not properly inspected. Unfortunate that this was not identified, not sure I will recommend BrickKicker to others.
Vince did an amazing job! He was very thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly. Whatever the company is paying him is not enough!
Javier was great, very thorough and explained all concerns in a easy to understand manner.
I highly recommend this company. The inspectors were great and very professional. They were nice and explained everything to us.

Rob was great. Very informative and professional. Will definitely use BrickKicker from here on out for all my needs.
Chris our inspector was very thorough and efficient when going through our inspection would highly recommend him if you are looking for an inspector.
Javier was very professional. He was on time to the inspection and got right to work the second he arrived. He made sure to explain every little thing to us that was wrong with the home and give us advice on what needs to be a priority and how we should go about fixing these issues. I would recommend Javier and the…
It is my first time buying a home and the inspection process was smooth. It was very professional. Everything was communicated easily. I definitely recommend this company.
Fantastic service-everything was explained to me during the inspection and any questions I had were answered as well. When I was getting quotes on prices they were the most reasonable and had the best availability for inspections out of the recommended places from my realtor. Would use again if I needed another inspection.
Our realtor recommend Rob Claus at The BrickKicker for a home inspection on our first home purchase. It was 100% worth the time and value! Rob was incredibly knowledgable, professional, kind, and thorough. I've heard from others that home inspectors usually go off on their own and do their thing and you get a report…
Excellent inspector, very easy to talk to. Answered any questions we had. Explained everything he found in detail. Great job.
