Family owned and operated, Extra Mile Inspection is a professional and thorough home inspection company serving Lake County, IL and the surrounding areas. Our licensed and insured inspector will provide you comprehensive and detailed information on your potential home; helping you to purchase with confidence.
We are also licensed to perform light commercial inspections. Whether you are buying an investment property, warehouse space, offices, or storefront property, our team of inspectors can get the job done. We do a thorough inspection of all systems and building components, including structure, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, roof, exterior, foundation, etc.
We offer professional radon testing in Lake County, IL, and the surrounding areas. Radon is an odorless, colorless radioactive gas that is present in nearly all soil due to decaying uranium. Large amounts can move from the soil into your home via concrete, floor, or wall gaps. Since it's difficult to detect, homeowners may suffer long term exposure to radon, and research shows this causes lung cancer in thousands of Americans annually.
Extra Mile Home Inspection offers thermal imaging inspection to Lake County, IL, and the surrounding areas. This is to see how efficient your house is at heating and cooling. Using thermal imaging and other useful tools, we can determine potential areas of low insulation, air leaks around window and doors, as well as any other areas that may be inefficient.
Our drone expert Jeff is FAA certified to fly drones and can provide drone imaging for two situations. For a small charge, we can use drone imaging for the roof during an inspection. This would be used if the roof cannot be mounted. These pictures will be provided within the inspection report.
The other situation where a drone may be needed is if you are listing your property and wish to have aerial images as well as a 3D tour of the inside of the house.Jeff will take several photos and video if needed. This feature, in conjunction with our thermal experts, acts as supporting evidence of issues we may have found or suspected earlier in the inspection.

Would recommend this company to anyone looking for a home inspection. Tim went above and beyond to help with any questions or concerns I had. He definitely went the extra mile and saved me lots of money as a result. If you need a home inspection, call this company. They really care about their customers.

We used extra mile because our relatives recommended them. Would not use again! They did not do a good job during the inspection process for buying our house and when they did come to fix some home repairs for us because our Realtor was paying them to fix some extra repairs the seller didn’t wanna fix. They were TOTALLY unprofessional. They did not even let us know they were leaving and had left our garage door up for hours not telling us they were leaving. We live in a neighborhood where you don’t wanna do that for too long.They also left our crawl space wide open in our backyard and the plastic

This company has a great reputation. Every other company I worked with in this home purchase knew them and more than one even mentioned, "Oh, we love extra mile." They were great to work with. They were very prompt scheduling and executing my inspection. They explained everything to me. I was honestly shocked at their repair prices, so reasonable, no gouging. Great Christian people who show their faith through their work. One stop shop, they do everything. Every city should have an Extra Mile.

They were professional and did a wonderful job. Incredibly detailed and informative! I would recommend them to anyone needing a home inspection.
We also had them come and do some repairs and they were excellent! Very thorough and did great work. It was a much more difficult job than expected, but they saw it through to the end. We were so happy to work with them.

First, let me start off by saying I am very picky. We have done two full home renovations. With that, we've had a lot of different people in and out of our home and yard. Everyone from the plumber, to the painters have left some sort of mess I've had to clean up. Extra Mile came out to dig up the yard and install a riser for our septic tank. It has been wet the past week and cold so I expected a muddy mess when I came home. I couldn't even tell anyone had come! No tire tracks from the truck/trailer/tractor! He had to dig up our landscaping and he put all the landscaping rocks and mulch back the

I used this company for a house inspection before buying my first home. They were very thorough and took the time to explain their findings to me. Upon having certain issues fixed that were discovered in the house, they came back out and did a second inspection of the updates for free. I would definitely use them again in the future!

These guys are great! They did our home inspection when we bought our first house and they really will go the extra mile for you! We had a complication with the sump pump not passing inspection and when the sellers refused to fix it they came in and fixed it themselves for us. Then upon offering to pay for the extra work done they would not accept. Great folks! Great company! Wouldn’t go with anybody else!

Amazing, professional, detailed, thorough, extremely knowledgeable, courteous... knowing that Extra Mile is going to bat for me gives me complete confidence and peace in my home purchases. They inspected my first home under contract, and I am SO grateful for the truthful, detailed and complete report, it helped me greatly in the process of terminating the contract. I found a second home in Nixa, and although mold and termites were found on the report, they were able to give me an accurate idea of what the repairs would entail and cost, so that I was comfortable in completing the purchase. I love
