The BrickKicker

Len Franckowiak founded The BrickKicker in 1989. Len loved residential architecture along with the challenge of identifying the nature of the component systems that made up 'whole of the house'. Upon years of building and rehab projects being completed and quality inspected, Len gained a unique understanding of excellence vs sub-par craftsmanship. He was also a student of 'cause-effect' deficiency analysis. In short, Len was a natural home inspector. Carrying a basic philosophy of 'Excellence in Service Quality', we captured the spirit of Len's vision providing home inspections and related services to the real estate industry. Every BrickKicker was trained and field tested in technical competence, communication skills and tactical service presence. We became the standard of professionalism. As The BrickKicker reputation developed, our staff expanded and so did the company vision. By 1995, having become the premiere home inspection company in Chicagoland, we entered a growth phase by franchising our brand across other markets of the country. Each new location would embrace the founding principles that Len believed in. Today, with our Headquarters still holding a prominent market share in the Chicagoland market, The BrickKicker is also represented by invested, franchised owner/operators throughout the Midwest, Northeast, Southeast and across the Western edges of the United States.
