Marshal was highly responsive when I reached out on a right schedule to conduct an inspection. On the day of the inspection, he arrived early at the site. He was very detailed and meticulous. Not only that, he took his time explaining all the details to me in person. The day after the inspection, he sent me a report that contained over 100 pages of information, but summarized in an easy and digestible format. I can't recommend his services enough. Highly recommend.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Marshal Datkowitz and Optimal Home Inspections - first class service and well worth the cost! From the initial call of describing the process and scope of the inspection, Marshal was informative and answered all my questions. The paperwork and forms are easy to understand. Once onsite, Marshal spent three hours examining not only our roof - the main purpose of his visit - but also the attic, basement, and upstairs bedroom and laundry to record moisture in walls, vents in laundry room and other items. Within two days of his onsite examination I received a comprehensive 39 page report listing observations with pictures and detailed explanations on how issues can be resolved and solutions of which to do so. All in all, we received great value for a very reasonable price.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I chose Marshal for an inspection of a new construction condo in downtown JC because he's ASHI-certified, has a meticulously-built custom website, and gave me the impression of an amiable, technical-minded nerd (as a professional nerd myself). Marshal explained everything to me as we walked through the apartment together. He went the extra mile to inspect the hallway electrical closet and the HVAC unit in the ceiling. I opted for the infrared scan as well. Marshal was very thorough, professional, and super friendly!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
