I reached out to several different places in Naperville to get an estimate and we needed to move pretty quickly.

You are the best guys 😎👍
On time. Efficient, polite and knowledgeable. Explained what we saw what could use an upgrade as time goes on and how everything was fine as is.

Dave Lammert was very professional with a lot of attention to detail. He was very thorough with the inspection and made sure I understood everything he was checking. I have purchased homes in the past and have had different inspectors, but no one was as good as Dave. I would definitely recommend him.

Home inspection before buying.

Chris Roller was my inspector sent by BrickKickers and he was absolutely the best! He allowed me (the buyer) to walk through with him and ask him any questions that came to mind. I don't know a lot about house systems so I had quite a few and he never was impatient or made me feel stupid. The whole experience…

Very happy with Ed. He is very knowledgeable and honest. After every inspection he updated us and gave us an overall review of recommendations after. I would definitely call them again in the future.
Rob thoroughly inspected our soon to be home and walked me through every detail. He was responsive to any questions and concerns that I had in the moment. He also encouraged me to keep in contact with him if any questions come up after reading the report, which was also very detailed and legible. He was very respectful of social distancing and safety.
Kurt was extremely detailed, comprehensive and unhurried in his inspection. He provided an explanation of what he felt we should address and what could be easily remedied. I would highly recommend Kurt and BrickKickers for your home inspection.
