Testimonials

Michael Allan did a great job for us and explained a lot of things that first-time homebuyers like us need to know.
- C.S., April 2024
Our Home Inspector Michael Meyer was a pleasure to work with. He is very thorough and detail oriented. He took his time to explain exactly what he was doing and why. Mick willingly gave us advice about equipment that we did not have experience with in our previous homes, such as water well, septic tank, fire sprinklers and water softener. He is very knowledgeable in both Mechanical and Electrical. We felt very comfortable and confident that he was working in our best interest as the home buyer. This is the 2nd home that Mick has inspected for me, and he helped make me comfortable in my last home for the past 17 years. I would highly recommend for you to have Michael Meyer inspect your next home.
- R.M., March 2024

Michael is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He was very thorough in his inspection and also took the time to explain things to my wife and I during the inspection process. He explained to us what the issue was, why it’s a potential safety concern, and available remedies to address the issue. I highly recommend him for home inspection services.
- M.S., December 2021
Hope to work with you and your team again in the near future! You were awesome!
- J.W., December 2021
Working with Mick was a lifesaver. When purchasing our first home we had little to no knowledge of potential issues with a property to be on the lookout for. Mick’s thorough work put our minds at ease because his expert knowledge of common, uncommon, code-related, and often overlooked issues gave us a comprehensive view of the property. Mick’s meticulous photo documentation, personalized recommendations, and detailed advice provided the confidence we needed to negotiate the purchase of our first home. Most importantly, at closing, Mick’s report helped save us money on pre-sale repairs negotiation and saved us the headache of addressing these issues alone and years down the road.
- R.B., Rolling Meadows IL, December 2021
Michael Meyer was very patient and answered all my questions. He was very knowledgeable and that reassured me that I was buying a great home :) I would most definitely refer him to anyone! Sincerely, Serena Chapman
- S.C., September 2021
We appreciated the professional nature of Mic's inspection. He was not rushed and spent time to explain his findings and address our concerns. The thoroughness of Mic's inspection resulted in unfortunate findings, which led to our decision to terminate the contract to buy. We are thankful for Mic's diligence which helped us to avoid what could have become a costly mistake.
- S.D., August 2021
Mic was a excellent resource and pure professional. He took the time to walk me thru every question and even helped me to ask questions I should be asking but was not. His suggestions made me very comfortable with my new home and his observations saved me alot of headache when dealing with the seller. Do yourself a favor...use Michael Meyer.

- A.J., May 2019
I found out about this company when a buyer used them to inspect my home. As the homeowner, I was kind of shocked by the number of things found--but they were so thorough, I knew that I'd be calling them when I was ready to purchase a home. When I called them to inspect a home I wanted to purchase, the inspector Mick was great. He was personable, and let me walk around with him while he explained anything I wanted to know. Mick has a great attention to detail, which I appreciate. He found a lot of great things, and his findings ultimately helped lead me to discovering some vital history surrounding the house. I cannot more highly recommend Michael Allan & Associates.

Michael - thank you so much for such a thorough inspection. It was a pleasure to work with you and have you find and point out the things that need to be addressed.

I would absolutely recommend you to anyone needing a home inspection as your services are well worth the money spent. Lastly, thank you for suggesting that I can call you if I have any questions.
