Why Choose Morgenroth's?
Your new home is one of the largest purchases you'll ever make, so you'll want to know everything you can about the condition of the roof, chimneys, siding and trim, attic ventilation, electrical wiring, plumbing, air-conditioning and heating system, and a great number of other items.
You're invited to walk the grounds with us during the inspection. It's a great opportunity to get acquainted with the property and learn how things work. We want you to understand what we're inspecting and what we're finding. As we move through the house we'll provide maintenance instructions and suggest potential improvements to help keep things in good working order.
A typical home inspection will take approximately 2½-3 hours to complete. We'll summarize our findings and discuss any concerns with you when finished. Shortly thereafter, we'll email or fax you a report of the condition of your home and maintenance recommendations.
We provide a thorough, honest, insightful assessment of your property -- explained in a straightforward way that the average home buyer can easily understand. The bottom line is that we empower you to make smarter decisions in your transaction.

Some Of Our More Popular Services
We'll provide a professional opinion of the apparent condition of all readily-accessible components of the home. Generally speaking, the cost of inspecting a single family home ranges $350-400. Inspections of larger homes, older homes, and multi-family units may be priced higher, while inspections of smaller dwellings, such as apartments and condominiums, may be priced a bit lower.
Purchase Inspections
Buyers want to be certain that their new home is a both a great place to live and a solid investment. During your inspection we'll pay close attention to the quality of the materials and workmanship that have gone into the construction and maintenance of the home you're buying. We'll take a close look at the condition of the premises and the operational status of your systems and appliances, as well as potential fire hazards, safety hazards, health hazards and structural concerns. If there are problems that you should know or be concerned about, we'll identify them for you before you commit to purchase.

Pre-Listing Inspections
If you are planning to sell your home, a pre-listing inspection will identify any major concerns before you place your house on the market. It gives you time to make repairs with a qualified person of your own choice, and with everything in order you'll be able to set a more firm, equitable asking price.
Knowing that you've had a pre-listing inspection, prospective buyers will be confident that the house is free of defects -- eliminating the need to negotiate a second time after they discover unforseen problems. It facilitates a smoother sale and a quicker closing, and it assures all that the conditions of the property have been thoroughly disclosed. Realtors can also list the property as "pre-inspected," making it more attractive to prospective buyers. |
Maintenance Inspections
As a homeowner, you need to know the condition of your home at all times so that you can protect your investment. It makes good sense to give your home a "physical" on regular intervals. You'll want to know the condition of your furnace, roof, and heating and cooling systems, etc. so that you can feel confident that things are in good working order and budget for replacements or repairs as they become necessary.

What Morgenroth's Customers Are Saying
"I can easily say that Dave Morgenroth is the best home inspector I have worked with." |

Chicago area home buyers and realtors enthusiastically recommend Morgenroth's Home Inspections!
Dave Morgenroth was recommended as our home inspector by our realtor. I have had many home inspections from single family to multiple family units. Dave was as thorough, professional, and as detailed as I have ever experienced. Dave truly has the best interest of his client in mind during the inspection. He was timely with getting his report to us and was quick to answer any follow up questions we had. I would use Dave again for future inspections and highly recommend him to others.

Dave Morgenroth is a fantastic home inspector! I am a real estate agent and have recommended Dave to several of my clients. He does a very thorough job and is willing to take time to answer questions clients have throughout the home inspection. He also offers to help out even after the closing! It’s great to see home inspectors continue their education and learn new building practices to stay up to date on their information. Dave continually sharpens his mind and was even a teacher for new home inspectors! He is always friendly, polite, and patient. Thanks for always giving the same great service to every one of my clients!

Dave Morgenroth is prompt, informative, and incredibly thorough. He inspected a home we intended to purchase and not only took the time to give attention to detail, but also gave extra focus and attention to potential problems. We appreciated his level of experience and diligence with our unique property.

I have recommended Dave Morgenroth for the past 8 years. I enthusiastically recommend him to my clients because of his honesty, and detailed knowledge gained from many years’ experience. I know that the client will like and trust him, because Dave genuinely cares about the client, and it shows. I have many times observed him patiently explain complex issues in an even tone to a buyer, without scaring them. He fields all their questions with respect and gives honest answers. Furthermore, I find he goes the extra mile - crawlspaces, roofs, research, and repair recommendations. He once crawled far into a damp crawlspace to inspect a home addition’s foundation, and found a major flaw that one couldn’t observe with just a flashlight. He is fair, trustworthy and dependable, and punctual!

I recently moved back to Batavia after being absent for 15 years and had Dave Morgenroth do a home inspection on the 25-year home I purchased. I have now been in my home for 4 months and have not found a single defect that Dave missed. Now that's what I call "GREAT WORK"!!!!!

Over my 10+ years in residential real estate, I can easily say that Dave Morgenroth is the best home inspector I have worked with. Dave is very thorough and is not afraid to take the time necessary to fully understand the condition of a home. He also understands that spending 3 or 4 hours talking about all the things that are wrong with a property can be overwhelming for a buyer, which is why he does such a great job of putting possible repairs in context for them. Dave helps them understand if these repairs are a big deal, or normal routine maintenance of a home. I always recommend Dave to my buyers as I know they will be in good hands as they prepare to make one of the biggest purchases of their life.

Dave Morgenroth's work inspecting two homes for us was incredibly valuable! He is friendly and professional. His insight and thorough observations and explanations in our potential homes allowed us to make well-informed decisions, as well as dream of potential for the spaces he inspected. He communicates in a timely and clear manner; his full report is easy to read and understand. We highly recommend Dave Morgenroth!
