Whether you’re buying a vintage greystone, a rehabbed two-flat, or a brand-new single-family home in Logan Square, a thorough home inspection can protect you from expensive surprises and help you move forward with confidence.
We provide licensed, professional home inspections in Logan Square, Chicago, offering deep insight into the homes that make this neighborhood one of the most dynamic and desirable areas in the city.
🏠 Why Logan Square Homes Need a Careful Look
Logan Square’s real estate is a blend of early 1900s brick homes, frame bungalows, gut rehabs, and new construction—and every one of these housing types presents unique inspection challenges. Some have aging infrastructure beneath updated finishes. Others were renovated quickly for resale, sometimes with cut corners.
Common issues we uncover in Logan Square homes:
- Outdated or pieced-together electrical systems
- Galvanized or mixed plumbing materials
- Poorly executed renovations in flipped homes
- Basement moisture or improper waterproofing
- HVAC systems installed without permits or proper sizing
- Flat roof wear, drainage problems, or improper flashing
- Foundation settling, especially in older homes
We know the difference between cosmetic upgrades and structural red flags—and we call out the issues that matter most.
