Live Videos from my Home Inspections

​Not all home inspectors are created equal.  When selecting a Home Inspector good questions to ask are: Does your inspector walk roof tops?  Does your inspector measure basement walls.  Is your Home Inspector full insured?  Is your home inspector licenced in the State of Wisconsin?  Does your Home Inspector follow State Law for home inspections?   I am fully insured, licenced and I go ABOVE the requirement of WI State Law!

I perform all my home inspections, so you don't have to worry about a random home inspector showing up.  During my average home inspection, I inspect over 150 components.  I walk roof tops regardless if it is snowing or raining, a long as it is safe.  I evaluate and measure basement wall/foundations.  I review furnaces, boilers, geo-thermo systems during the home inspection and commercial inspection.

Inspecting a Wet Roof

Regardless if it’s raining, it is very important to get on a ladder and review a roof whenever possible. A wet/water covered roofs makes a sheen and from the ground will make it look OK. So reviewing a roof from the eaves and/or walking the roof is very important. ​If you’d like more information about how my home inspections are different than others or to schedule an inspection, please click here and  call me at 414-207–9661 or click here to request an inspection on-line.

John Balian did a great job on my inspection. This guy is a first-rate professional. This was an inner city investment, he looked at a house and went through the place like a detective. There was so much junk in the basement, he was still able to find a foundation issues. I later wondered how many inspectors would have even tried move things to measure the walls. This guy not only does a thorough inspection but he has a wealth of knowledge about houses and how things work. You realize your talking to a guy who knows his stuff. I'll be using Amelia’s Home Inspection again.

Thanks John!

- L.W., April 2019

John was great! Went looking for an investment property and actually rejected the first house after he found numerous concerns. A week later I found another prospect and called John after I had an accepted offer. He did another amazing job. Would highly recommend. Detail oriented, thorough, and professional.
- M.L., April 2019

John’s report are detailed and easy to navigate. I use it like a check list every time I’m looking for a to-do. Scheduling and payment was quick and easy. He was also accommodating, especially with the Radon test, when the sellers air conditioner went out. We had plenty of time with our contingency and he came back after the AC was fixed. A radon test requires closing all windows for 2 days, which wasn’t practical on a hot summer day. Within a few hours after the inspection, I had the completed report with pictures of the areas of concern. Overall a great experience. Thanks again.
- S.N., April 2019

I really enjoyed experience with John, I learned so much from the process. He had incredible attention to detail, and explained not only what he found, but how to fix it, and how serious of a problem it could be. He worked around my schedule and did a thorough job on the inspection. We got our inspection report the same evening and it was complete and easy to understand. I feel so much more confident buying the home after having worked with John. Additionally, he was pleasant to work with I would recommended him for your home inspection!
- T.M., April 2019

John was very thorough and made the experience of buying our first home easier and more informed. Recommend.
