Thank you for the thorough inspection and the follow up communication regarding the property. We really enjoyed working with you and we appreciate your work.
- S.P., Elk Grove Village IL, June 2023
Businesses like Detail Inspection are the backbone of what makes America so great. George is honest, transparent, detail oriented, highly competent, fair, factual, and thorough. He cuts no corners and truly goes above and beyond to report what he sees. He went into the most disgusting unsanitary crawl space and brought camera evidence of rodent activity and also structural problems in the foundation, including of some sub par repairs, that the seller told us had been remedied. Overall, this expense was the best money I may have ever invested. Thank you Detail, Thank you George.
- A.L., July 2022
Excellent service by George! Very thorough, with detailed information and many pictures. Took many notes (recorded) throughout the inspection so nothing was excluded from the report, and explained everything in detail, and solutions for fixes. He helped us from buying a property that might've looked nice on the outside but actually required A LOT of work! We will be using him for this next home inspection of ours.
- P.H., Oak Lawn IL, April 2022
Very thorough and explained everything well.
- K.K., CHICAGO IL, September 2021
George performs a very thorough and comprehensive inspection of your prospective property.

- M.B., Wheeling IL, September 2021
I first met George Norberg when I was present when he did the home inspection for one of my friends. I was impressed by his overall thoroughness. When I entered into my property purchase, I asked my friend for George's contact information. George Norberg did an excellent job in going through the property I am considering purchasing. He pointed out specific issues I was not aware of existing and made appropriate suggestions as to remedy them. He was extremely thorough with his inspection. He was neat and put things back in place when he had to disrupt them to do his inspection. I would recommend him highly and will pass on his contact information to others who are in need of his inspection expertise

- L.T., Mount Prospect IL, March 2021
George was fabulous during our home inspection. This is our first home and he made sure to explain absolutely everything to us so that we understood exactly what was going on with the house. He inspected everything and spent almost 3 hours in the house - inside, outside, the attic, you name it. This helped us to negotiate better and ultimately get what we wanted. His report was very thorough and included pictures, and even a video. I will definitely recommend George to anyone who needs a home inspection.
- A.R., Hoffman Estates IL, February 2021

This is my third time using George and I would use him a million times more. He is detail oriented and looks at every part of the home.

I would recommend to anyone I know and already have!

While on the job he took time to explain the significance of each step in the process, answer questions and communicative in terms a layman could understand. He also worked well with another inspector that was brought in to check out water systems. We received a detailed report within hours following his visit.

No comments, awesome job. I'm sure you saved us a boatload of money.
- P.R., Chicago IL, January 2019
A detailed and honest inspection. George is a personable and up front inspector to deal with. I would do business with him again.
- P.T., January 2019
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
- K.R., January 2019
George was great to work with. He wasthorough and patient!!! His report will be an excellent reference tool for future repairs and his photos were clear and crisp.
- A.M., January 2019

- D.F., Northbrook IL, October 2018
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.
- M.T., September 2018
George is an extremely knowledgeable person. He has been very detailed and meticulous about every point in inspection. He is very professional and extremely punctual.
