A detailed and honest inspection. George is a personable and up front inspector to deal with. I would do business with him again.

Hi George,
I am passing along a concern the listing agent Gary had when fulfilling the repairs in the attic for 614 Stone Brook Ct. in Elk Grove Village. Because a certain vent was not marked, the HVAC could not easily identify which vent was crushed and needed straightening. This caused confusion and time loss, resulting in the wrong vent being addressed. This caused the need to call the HVAC back after the re-inspection for a single repair, something the listing agent was reluctant to do.
Gary suggests that a method, such as stickers, be used to identify such repairs. He thinks this would have avoided the confusion and time caught up in requesting a 2nd service call for a single, misidentified repair.
Thanks,
Karen Rhine

Dealing with George was a great experience. He went above and beyond my expectations. George offered advice that was beyond the scope of testing the air quality in my home by suggesting other vendors and solutions to my problem. I now have a valuable resource on which to draw in the future. Thank you.
- T.G., October 2018
George was very punctual (made a Saturday appointment a week out, and he was there early), thorough (created a 135 page report--with photos--detailing critical and not-so-critical issues), responsive (had the full report less than 8 hours after the inspection was complete) and helpful (followed up with recommendations on a variety of contractors I might want to consider for the work to be done). He also made it a point to explain what he was doing/seeing at every step of the way, and to point out/explain particular issues. Finally, George has responded post-inspection to all sorts of questions. Would highly recommend him for his honesty and integrity.
- M.S., September 2018
George was right on time, very knowledgeable, personable, incredibly thorough and made mention of many items that I would not think about such as the possibility that there may be asbestos in the popcorn ceiling, that Chicago mandates sprinklers which could mean a special assessment in the future as well as several other things. Very helpful and worth every penny
- S.G., September 2018
The assessment was clear cut, accurate, enlightening, and informative. The Inspector was friendly, yet impartial.

George was fantastic! He arrived early, provided ample photos inside his detailed inspection report and walked our property with us pointing out an issues that caught his eye. Once we received his report - within the same day as our inspection - both my wife and I were impressed with the ease in which we could identify the problems he found. His report allowed us to note requested changes we wanted performed and permitted us to email both our agent and lawyer to request these modification and repairs be performed per George's detailed recommendations report. Thank George! It was a pleasure working with you.

Perhaps get an appointment book online for people to select times and you can either confirm or deny them. Or you can simply upload your blocked times and dates- 1 to 2 weeks ahead of time for people to see your availability. Then people can select and fill out a brief survey for you to collect their information. Like a virtual secretary and appointment setter. Just a suggestion. Sharaka M. Leonard

George was polite, personable and very detailed. He took the time to explain things and walked you through each step. He made sure you understood everything and gave you opportunities to ask questions and even encouraged you to ask questions. No question was a dumb question to George. Not only did he follow up with me the following day, but also said if I would have any questions later to not hesitate to get in touch with him. I couldn't have asked for a better or more thorough inspector!

George was able to arrange his schedule to do my inspection the day before. He came to the property earlier and had already inspected the roof and foundation. Inside he was very thorough, and explained all potential problems and if they needed immediate attention or can be corrected at a later date. I felt he did an excellent job and addressed my concerns. His report was also very helpful with good pictures and explanations. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
- J.P., January 2017
Very thorough and pays attention to details, which is very essential for a home inspection.
- S.G., Chicago IL, January 2017
Great job! I look forward to working with him in the future.
- C.L., January 2017
I love how George interacts with my clients. He likes to educate them and helps them understand how everything works and how to maintain them.
The only suggestion I would give is to add in the report a way to rate the significance of an issue reported (mild, moderate, extreme) or something similar (minor/major; cosmetic/safety issue; etc). It would help me and my clients to understand the significance of any items called out or in disrepair.
Thanks again and I will definitely be using George again!!

George did a very good job overall. It snowed the day before we had the inspection, so not able to visually climb up and inspect the roof, gutters and chimney. Prompt and on time. Explained to us a few things he found when meeting us. Inspection report was very detailed. I was impressed on how fast he got the report to us. I would highly recommend.
- P.G., December 2016

- P.P., November 2016
George helped us inspected two homes, and in both instances George done an excellent job. George allowed us to tag along with him while he inspected each area of the house (outside, inside, attic, backyard, trees affecting home, basement, electric panel, furnace, heating, water, etc? basically every corner of the home). During the inspection process George explained what he was doing and what he was observing, pin pointed the problems, provided the reason for the problem, provided his recommendation and solution, and more importantly allowed us to ask questions. George also provided a very detail inspection report within 24 hours for us to review. With this report, we were well informed about the condition of the home which assisted us with our decision making. We walked away from one purchase due to concrete foundation and moisture in the basement that would be a disaster for us down the line. All-in-all, George was friendly and great to work with. I highly recommend George if you?re looking for an inspector for your new house.
- M.L., November 2016
George performed a very professional inspection for my client. His understanding of the process and explanation of the items he inspected in a comprehensive and yet understanding manner was very helpful to the very inquisitive Buyer.

When selling our home there were inspections by three different companies. I found George Norberg to be most respectful of the home. The report was well organized, easy to understand with clear pictures. When it was time to inspect the home we were buying we received the same excellent service.
