About Optimal Home Inspections

Optimal Home Inspections is a family-owned business focused on providing clients with the information they need to make a thoughtful home-buying decision.

Optimal Home Inspections LLC is owned and operated by Marshal Datkowitz. In college, I worked my way through school building swimming pools. I worked in construction and home remodeling until I returned to Graduate school at the Stevens Institute of Technology. I left construction to work on computer systems and software. During that time, I remodeled homes and apartments in my off-hours. Tired of the corporate world, I’ve now come full circle, sharing my knowledge and experience as an NJ Licensed Home Inspector.

I adhere to all NJ Home Inspection consumer protections and the American Society of Home Inspectors Client Bill of Rights.
