Informed homebuyers make smarter financial decisions

You need information. SPACE•MAN provides you with a thorough, written, on-site report based on our comprehensive inspection of a home’s structural and operating components. Use our impartial findings to intelligently weigh new factors regarding the home’s condition, which might impact your decision to purchase.

Join the inspection process—any and all questions are invited—and learn along with your inspector.

Our easy-to-follow, narrative report highlights a home’s strengths as well as deficiencies and potential issues, plus maintenance suggestions and improvement ideas. We help you plan for the future and avoid costly surprises.

Increasingly, insurance and lending institutions also require information. Many now set standards which rely on the results of a professional Home Inspection. A SPACE-MAN Home Inspection satisfies everyone involved.

Astute new construction buyers get better building quality

No matter how careful a builder may be, an independent SPACE•MAN PHASE INSPECTION will often reveal quality control shortfalls and mistakes—in materials, installation, workmanship, safety conditions and design plan. These issues can lead to expensive, premature repairs—unless they’re found and corrected early

Homes are constructed in phases—which is why SPACE•MAN recommends PHASE INSPECTIONS for new construction buyers. We check the framing and electrical before the walls are closed up; the plumbing system before the floors are finished; and the appliances and mechanicals long before the final walk-through.

A NEW CONSTRUCTION REPORT—with findings documented by an independent ILLINOIS-LICENSED PROPERTY INSPECTOR —is a buyer’s most effective tool for persuading a builder to make necessary corrections. If a dispute should arise between buyer and builder, a professional Inspection Report is essential.

Savvy renters receive more timely repairs and improvements

A RENTER’S INSPECTION documents the current state of your rental property. Renters use it to persuade landlords to make needed repairs, to give credibility to your case for withholding rent, or to prove responsibility (or no responsibility) for damages.

Educated homesellers realize greater profits

We help sellers to avoid nasty surprises. SPACE•MAN’s PRE-LISTING INSPECTION informs you about your home’s current structural or maintenance issues, including conditions which may become stumbling blocks to negotiations later. It allows you to decide how to handle issues ahead of time.

Knowledgeable homesellers appreciate the opportunity to calmly make decisions about necessary repairs and replacement purchases. An early home inspection gives you time to arrange for reasonably priced improvements before listing your home. That savings alone often exceeds the cost of the inspection.

Smart Homeowners Maximize Return on Property Investments

A SPACE•MAN inspection informs home owners about the current conditions of the home’s systems and components, so that repairs and maintenance can be scheduled in a cost-effective way. You save money—and protect your investment—by finding and fixing small or potential problems before they become large, expensive ones.

A Home Inspection can uncover important fire—safety—health issues that could impact your family as well as your property. Most safety-related conditions can be easily and inexpensively corrected once you know about them.
