Specialties
Looking out for you: Any inspector can answer questions. Our inspector answers the questions you didn’t know you had. You won’t leave the inspection wondering or worrying… and you can always call for follow-up assistance.
Reporting clearly and thoroughly: An informative walk-through is one thing, but what if your attorney can’t make sense of a hand-written checklist? Speaker of the House reports are neatly presented, with issues detailed in narrative fashion. And, they always include a concise summary of major concerns. Reports are emailed same day or next morning.
Making sense of it all: Are you new to the type of home you’re purchasing? Whether you’re new to home ownership or new to the area, Mike helps put the information into perspective, so you know what’s expected for the type of building you’re buying. He helps you prioritize repairs and offers recommendations for addressing defects.
History
Established in 1996.
Speaker of the House Property Inspections is operated by Principal Inspector Michael Massart. As an inspector for Speaker of the House since 1996, Mike has operated independently in Chicago and nearby Cook County suburbs since 2003. Mike’s experience and knowledge of Chicago buildings — including their quirks and their charms — is extensive.
As a seasoned pro, Mike was among the first 100 inspectors licensed in the state of Illinois and is a charter member of the Illinois Home Inspectors Association. He maintains full American Society of Home Inspectors membership. He remains active, periodically training newer inspectors for the Northern Illinois chapter.
Meet the Business Owner
Mike M.
Business Owner
Over the last ten years, Mike has inspected thousands of properties, ranging from studio condominiums to high-rise penthouses, from Chicago Fire-era frame houses to sprawling estates.
The core of our business, though, is the condominium and single-family homes familiar to all Chicagoans. Accustomed to construction practices as they have evolved over the decades, and how they differ between the city and suburbs, Mike knows Chicago buildings – from brand-new to turn-of-the-century styles.
The inspector’s strategy is to «interrogate» the building. Too many times, cosmetic repairs merely cover up underlying problems. A thorough inspection can reveal bad water pressure, clogged sewers, or overloaded wiring – yes, these things can happen even with granite countertops!
