Erin D- Vito is extremely thorough and goes over everything with you in detail. You can tell he has been doing this for a very long time and knows everything about home inspection

Linda S- Vito was very thorough, did not rush, brought to my attention things that were concerning, and generated a very detailed report. I had follow up questions after reading the report and he promptly responded. Vito was able to squeeze the inspection into his schedule and did a fast turn around on the report to stay within the approval and review timeline.

Angela M-Vito was amazing from the beginning phone call. He clearly explained everything he would need from us and the sellers, from what he needed access to on the property to COVID-19 protocol. He communicated early and often. He showed up early - but not creepy early - and got right to work on the exterior. He delivered the report earlier than he had promised. He gave us a verbal rundown on site so we knew what to expect in the report. His report was incredibly detailed, so not only will it be useful for our closing, but hopefully also as a homeowner's manual for years to come. We are hoping this is our "forever" home, but if we ever needed a home inspection again, we would not hire anyone but Vito!

Peter K-If you are looking for a home inspection done in Chicago or suburbs, Vito is the person! He did a such an amazing job on our report that I was bit surprised. We flip homes and we have used other home inspectors but no one was as detailed and good as Vito. From now on we will be using him on all of our flips to get the inspection report. Without his report I would have never known that the chimney is in poor condition. Thanks Vito for all your help, you helped me get addition discount on the purchase price!

Caroline D-Vito was amazing. He inspected 2 homes we looked at and with both he was extremely thorough and honest. We decided to not go through with the first house because he found big issues in his inspection, one being a weak foundation which would have cost us thousands in the long run. I would also like to mention we were new home buyers and had LOTS of questions. Vito was so helpful and answered everything in detail with no problem at all. I will call Vito for every inspection I have in the future and recommend him to anyone 100 times over.

Dawn F- Great! Vito was very prompt in returning phone calls and emails, and very accommodating in getting our inspection scheduled quickly. This is our first condo and I was relieved that he had done many condo inspections. He did a very thorough inspection, walked us through what he noticed and explained everything clearly, and sent us the report, with photos, within a day. All at a reasonable price.

Agnes K-I placed a review before and I wanted to correct the information about vents. Vents were noted on the report. Washer was visibly leaking for a long time before and caused a lot of mold and damage behind that washer and I have noticed that as soon as I started walking around day one. Never used that washer once yet. Unfortunately The issue was there all the time.

Patrick W- Vito was great. He was quick and responsive when setting up the inspection, and after the inspection he provided the report within 24 hours. Vito did a thorough inspection of the house and explained any problem areas or concerns and what exactly he was looking at. He also coordinated a radon test service, making our lives easier, and he took every precaution to maintain safe social distancing guidelines, which was very important to us in the pandemic. I would highly recommend.

Cherian J-My reason for getting a home inspector was NOT related either to a home purchase or a home sale. Just like one goes to a physician for a physical to see if there are any issues (High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, etc), I thought that it would be a good idea to give my 9-year old home a “physical” by going to “Dr” Vito LiRosi, the home inspector. Here are the key observations, from my standpoint, about the “HOME INSPECTION” work done by Vito. (1) Took about 2 hours & 45 minutes. So, it was a thorough look at my house! (2) It was interesting to see that Vito used new technology like a drone with a high-powered camera to inspect the roof. The drone was used to get an “up close & personal” view from 7 different roof angles. That was impressive! (3) Because of the current “Coronavirus” situation, Vito wore a mask when inside my house. That was thoughtful of him. So, I wore my mask at home, to protect him. (4) When he was finished, I had to sign a document on his iPad. For my protection, the surface of the iPad was wiped clean before I signed the page with my finger. That was courteous of Vito to do that, for safety reasons. (5) I received a 104-page report which included 78 color photographs (6) Vito added “red arrows” & “red circles” to many photographs to pinpoint areas that he wanted to bring to my attention. That makes it easy for me to understand the message that Vito is trying to get across to me. (7) Vito added special symbols to indicate the different kinds of action that he is recommending (8) The 4 different symbols indicated either “Repair is recommended”, “repair, delayed or upgrade”, “Preventative Maintenance”, and “Monitor the area” (9) The Report had a “Table of Contents” for 29 categories, with appropriate page numbers for each category. This makes it easier for the reader to flip to the relevant page, quickly & easily (10) After reviewing the report, Vito encouraged me to call him with questions, if applicable. I did call Vito with about a dozen questions to clarify my understanding of a few topics. Vito spent as much time as I needed (about 30 minutes, in my case) to conclude that I fully understand his point of view, based on his expertise. There you go! Lots of specific reasons why Vito’s help & expertise in the Home Inspection category was well worth the money I spent!

Chris C-After consulting with several friends and family members, we found that no one really liked their home inspectors. So we decided to check out Angie’s list and saw the great reviews LiRosi Home Inspection. Vito was a complete professional. He was very thorough, gave us an initial summary on-site after the inspection and followed up with a phone call, plus 90+ page inspection report with evaluations, recommendations and pictures of potential issues. As a first time buyer, he even went the extra mile of making sure we felt comfortable and that we understood his report. If/when I ever decide to buy a home again, Vito will be my first phone call for home inspection.

He did a great job inspecting the home I am in contract to purchase. He answered all my questions in a very professional manner and provided a very detailed report with many pictures and details. I will hire and recommend Vito for the rest of my days!

10/23/19

Tanikka S-Vito is very professional and his inspection helped greatly with identifying issues that needed to be resolved prior to my home purchase. I received the report via email, with detailed explanations and images from the home inspection. After reviewing the report, I spoke with Vito over the phone, and any questions I had were answered. He also conducted a re-inspection after the sellers repaired the defective items identified in his initial report - which was helpful, especially since one of the items was still defective after the sellers had it repaired. Would recommend

Denise M-We received a thorough home inspection from Vito on an older home we considered purchasing. He was prompt on meeting us at the house, and very professional as well as courteous. His report on the house included many photos and information on areas which needed repair or attention and whether to replace them or monitor them. We have had several home inspections in the past year on other homes considered, and feel his was the most thorough report we have received. It was also delivered as promised. Good Customer service and quality work is what we expected and what we got. I would recommend this business for anyone looking for a home inspection.

Chris S-Vito is outstanding. Thorough, spent time throughout and at the end briefing my clients on the findings from his inspection. He includes schematics for what quality repairs or installations should look like, as well as color photos with markings so you know what you are looking at. His reports are easy to read, well organized and helpful. He spends the time necessary and does hurry through the inspection. We received the 92-page written report the following morning. I have used him before and will continue to do so! My clients love him!

Vito made sure to explain everything to me which I really appreciate. I love that in the report he shows pictures of how something that isn’t 100% correct should look so I could reference it. Vito is very personable and makes sure you’re satisfied with his job. Thank you Vito for teaching me a few things home owners should know and showing me what a great inspection should look like!

3/18/19

Brennan M-Vito performed the home inspection. He was very thorough and invested the needed time to review my property, explain his findings and suggestions for improvement. This inspection was performed as my new construction home was coming out of its warranty period. Vito found several items that need repair and that will now occur at the cost of the builder and not me. I can recommend Vito with confidence after my positive experience with his company.

Liz M-I reached out to 5 different companies listed on Angie's. 4 of them responded, 1 did not. 1 offered a lower fee, but I needed a Radon test too which they couldn't provide. 2 offered the same. The other was over the top and stunningly ridiculous. I decided to go with LiRosi. Not only was I responded to within minutes of requesting a quote, the entire process from setting up the inspection to receiving the very detailed report was flawless. Vito answered every question completely and honestly and brought things to us that my very experienced spouse missed. I couldn't have asked for anything better. His assessments were spot on. He was prompt and courteous. The total inspection time was a tiny bit over 3 hours I believe - which believe me, if someone is only inspecting for an hour you need to ask why you hired them because that's not thorough. I would gladly recommend LiRosi to anyone needing a home inspection.

Vito was very responsive to my calls, flexible and accommodating with his time. He showed up early for the inspection and did a great and very thorough job inspecting the condo. He was very professional and explained all the details of the inspection to us, answered all of our questions, and summarized his major findings at the end. We were impressed with his professionalism. You can tell that he has your best interests in mind and works hard to do a meticulous and comprehensive inspection. My parents were also at the inspection; they had purchased a condo a few months prior and had hired someone else - they were wishing they had known about Vito, instead! The report he sent following the inspection was very clear and detailed. He's also an extremely nice and polite person, and has a lot of integrity. Highly recommended!

Colleen B- As first time home buyers my husband and I are totally unfamiliar with the entire process. After our offer was accepted, I went onto Angie's list to find a home inspector and came across Vito. Vito was the best decision we could have made in this whole process. I called Vito on a Tuesday and was able to schedule a home inspection on Saturday. Vito was very very knowledge and spend 2.5 inspecting everything in the home. Vito even had a drone take pictures of the roof (which my hubsband thought was so cool). After the inspection Vito went through the pictures and report with us, highlighting the important areas and answering all our questions. Vito sent us the entire report (100 pages with pictures) less than 24 hours after the inspection. Vito also recommended and setup a 3rd party radon testing company who was also very knowledgeable and explained everything to us. If you're looking for a home inspection company, look no further, Vito is your man. Thank you Vito for everything! We will be recommending Vito to all our friends and will use him again If we buy again!

He was very thorough and professional in his inspections, checking all appliances, plumbing, electrical, HVAC and structural items, inside and out. He took photos of every item of interest or concern and reviewed all of them personally with us. Within hours of completing the inspection he provided a detailed 60 plus page report covering the entire house with photos, commentary and recommendations on every item. He was also readily available by phone for any follow up questions we had. Thanks to Vito's thorough inspection we were able to make fully informed decisions on the houses we were considering. I would strongly recommend using LiRosi Home Inspection if you are looking to purchase a house or investigate an issue in your current house.

Dave D- Called to book the home inspection, spoke with Vito. He did some analysis on the subject property and returned with a good quote for the inspection. After we agreed, He sent me a few documents and disclosures to read over and sign before the inspection. On the inspection day, he was at the property when I arrived. He told me the game plan for the day and we began. Our inspection for a 3000ft single family took about 3 hours. Vito was extremely methodical and went through the home from top to bottom, during which he pointed out anything out of the ordinary. After the inspection, he submitted the report to me on the next evening. The report included an executive summary which highlighted any major areas with suggestions, and the primary report with everything. I felt that Vito did a great job highlighting the entire home. I would definitely use LiRosi again!
