Stewart is really thorough and frank about a home’s condition. Home buyers are very well served by him. He won’t just go through the motions.

Stuart with Home Raters is AMAZING. We used the company for our home inspection after going under contract and I have never had such an honest and thorough inspection. Stuart explained everything along the way and gave a very fair and honest assessment of the property. I am so glad that our agent recommended him, and I will be recommending him and Home Raters for anyone that needs home inspection!Service: Manufactured home inspections

If you are a first time home buyer, you can't do better than Stuart at Home Raters. He was incredibly thorough and detailed and walked us through everything that he was seeing. It was a very educational experience, and I cannot recommend him enough. He told my wife and I that his goal was treat all of his customers the way he would want his family to be treated, and that goal was accomplished with us.

Stuart and Lori were very responsive to scheduling us in on short notice and made for a friendly experience. Our main concern with the services was the lack of cost transparency. We were originally quoted a range for a specialized inspection. When arriving onsite Stuart determined the original inspection type was not needed and instead began a different report type for a topic we already covered with our prior inspector. We assumed (wrongly) this would not cost nearly as much as his time on site was quicker than originally predicted. In the end there was no further discussion on the costs and they charged the high end of the price range due to his extra report preparation time. In hindsight we should have asked more questions on how the cost was developing, but there could have been more proactive communication from Home Raters as well.

I have only good things to say about Stuart! The inspection was extremely thorough, he was at the house for 4 hours and wrote the report while I was there, which was very helpful for me since I had a lot of questions as it was being written out. He used a ladder on the roof to view the top of the roof in multiple places, and used it to get into the attic to ensure he saw every nook and cranny of the house. I received multiple comments from people who viewed the report on how impressive and detailed it was compared to what they've seen before. He has a gift for uncovering things most people wouldn't notice and he's obviously very knowledgeable and a great problem solver. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone, especially first time homeowners (such as myself - I learned so much), and for older homes.

I highly recommend Stuart. He was incredibly thorough and detailed. In addition to his report he gave us ideas to remediate any issues and rough ballpark estimates for costs. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find someone better.

I did a lot of investigating myself before choosing him (ended up choosing him because of his PE seal -you can find inspectors with the seal through the ASHI home inspector finder - His receptionist was so nice and things were professional and well organized, unlike some other places I called. Only great things to say as you can see!

Stuart's knowledge of older buildings, of what needs to be fixed or what needs to be upgraded is unparalleled in Chicago, as are his ideas for solutions. I highly recommend him.

Stu was fantastic! We had a referral from our attorney to use Home Raters. Stu did an thorough job on our home inspection and we could not have been happier. He was extremely knowledgeable and went through everything with us. He clearly has years and years of experience and we felt 100% confident with his inspection. We have recommended him to anyone and everyone who has asked. We cannot speak more highly of home Raters.

Worked with Home Raters for the second time in three years. First time Paul inspected my condo thoroughly and last week Stewart, the owner of Home Raters conducted my inspection for a different condo. Absolutely their service is recommendable. They are thorough and their communication is exactly what is needed when buying a new home. Their reports are detailed and they review the documents with you very carefully over the phone and provide solutions if needed. I strongly recommend Stewart, Paul and the entire team at Home Raters.

Worked with Stuart for the second time. First time he was the inspector for my buyer and he found EVERYTHING that was wrong with my house. I vowed to remember him for when I was buying. I just worked with him again to inspect my (different) home prior to putting it on the market so I can fix anything that could trip up a sale. He gave me great ideas for solutions. I think he has several different masters degrees in different engineering fields and had solutions for every problem. I will use Home Raters again when purchasing as well.

We used Home Raters for recently purchased home. Our home inspector, Paulie, was meticulous in his evaluation of our property. His punctuality and the efficiency at which he conducted the inspection was beyond reproach. So very happy with this company and will definitely refer them to friends and family.
