Certified Home Inspector John McLaren

A Home Inspector Who Sees It Like It Is From All Sides

When he was still a teenager, John worked as a mechanic on agricultural equipment, a formative experience for his problem-solving skills and his subsequent love for construction. Starting in 1997, John joined the Carpenter’s Union and began partaking in numerous residential and commercial construction projects.

For over 25 years, John has been involved in the building trades, even going on to obtain his Illinois Real Estate Brokers license to become more skilled and knowledgeable on that side of the industry. Now as a professional home inspector, John is able to combine his experience in construction and real estate to help protect the interests of home-buyers—providing an honest assessment of a home that will inform and secure a pending real estate transaction.  

We’re in This to Help You Take the Next Big Step

For your convenience, we’re open to scheduling home inspection appointments on weekends so that you don’t have to stress finding extra time during the work week.

We’ll be ecstatic if you’re able to join us at the home either during or after the inspection so that we can give you the full rundown of our findings in person.

When the inspection is over, we’ll still be here for you, taking your questions over the phone for as long as you need to ask them so that you can invest with confidence.

 

When he’s not inspecting homes, John loves to spend time outdoors with his wonderful family and their pets. Some of John’s hobbies include hunting, sports shooting, drag racing, and flying drones—as well as his RC helicopter!
