Claim This BusinessAbout Summit Ridge Inspection Group
Summit Ridge Inspection Group operates as a residential property evaluation firm serving Manhattan, Joliet, and the broader Chicagoland region. The company holds Illinois home inspector license 450.012085 and has accumulated 199 client reviews averaging a perfect 5.0-star rating. Founded on over three decades of industry experience, the team provides comprehensive evaluations spanning foundation to rooftop components, helping homeowners and prospective buyers understand structural conditions before transactions close.
What distinguishes this inspection practice is the breadth of specialized certifications held by lead inspector Mark. He maintains credentials from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification including Applied Microbial Remediation Technician, Water Damage Restoration Technician, and Applied Structural Drying Technician designations. Additionally, certification through the National Radon Proficiency Program enables the firm to conduct radon exposure assessments. This layered expertise allows simultaneous evaluation of moisture intrusion, air quality concerns, and environmental hazards within a single site visit.
Client feedback consistently highlights Mark's methodical approach. One reviewer described how he examined every corner of the house and property, while another appreciated his willingness to return for a second walkthrough at no extra charge when initial access was limited by the seller. First-time buyers particularly valued his ability to simplify technical findings into understandable recommendations. The written reports proved detailed enough that subsequent contractors could price repairs directly from the documentation.
What Customers Say
Eight clients collectively awarded perfect 5-star ratings, with five specifically naming Mark as the inspector. Reviewers repeatedly used terms like 'thorough' and 'detailed,' with one noting he 'checked areas that never even came to mind.' No negative feedback appeared in the sampled reviews.
