Posted on Rob Tirado23/05/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were first time homebuyers and were a bit nervous going into the inspection process as you never know what to expect. We were happy to find Marshal & Optimal Home Inspections as he was responsive, prompt, and extremely knowledgeable. We opted for the standard inspection and Thermography (thermal imaging), but there are various inspection add ons to choose from if desired. Marshal was thorough in his review of our home and answered any questions we had during the inspection. Following the inspection, he provided an easy to digest summary and report that clearly outlined and categorized everything. Since moved in, Marshal's report has served as an excellent guide for us to maintain and upkeep our home. We felt we could trust him the whole way through and the price was more than reasonable. We'd recommend Marshal and Optimal Home Inspections to anyone in this stage of their home buying process!Posted on Ken Rochell24/04/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marshal was fantastic. He was thorough, professional, and easy to work with from start to finish. He took the time to walk me through the inspection in a clear, straightforward way and made sure I understood both the big-picture items and the smaller details. I really appreciated how patient he was with my questions and how he explained what needed attention now versus what could be monitored over time. His report was organized and easy to follow, and he pointed out practical next steps so I could make an informed decision. Overall, I felt confident in my purchase because Marshal made sure I was truly well informed.Posted on Philip Shutovsky20/11/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marshal was fantastic! He explained everything clearly, was very professional, and did all the testing thoroughly. Highly recommend!Posted on charlotte-luella durkee05/08/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I only have positive things to say about Marshal. From the very start, when we had our initial phone call determining what we needed for our home inspection he was thoughtful, considerate and very thorough. During the actual inspection he took his time and made sure to explain each thing he noticed to us in a way that was easy to understand. His report was quickly delivered to us after inspection and he was available for a follow up when we needed an additional termite report. We will recommend Marshal to all our family and friends.Posted on Leah G25/07/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Marshal for a condo inspection, and he was very thorough and helpful. Before inspection, he took the time to explain what to expect from his services. He allowed me to ask any questions before/during/after. During the inspection, he took extra step of giving me insight into how to maintain things in the unit. Unfortunately, I did not proceed with the purchase of the condo, and I truly feel it was for the best. While Marshal didn't convince me to not proceed with the transaction, the inspection provided a sense of things I needed to consider. It was reassuring. As a first-time homebuyer, I felt I could trust him. I would recommend him, especially if you are a first-time homebuyer, but also if you are detail-oriented and like to have some reassurance.Posted on Rohan Harish10/07/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an excellent inspection process with Marshal. He was thorough and went above and beyond inspecting the unit! Everything was documented with images and presented in a comprehensive report.Posted on Mina Beshay03/06/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Marshal to perform a home inspection and radon testing for a home we were closing on in Essex County. During the inspection, Marshal took the time to go over every single detail in the house, while explaining defects, how they happen, and some remediation/prevention steps in simple, easy-to-understand terms. His report was thorough and outlined what defects were major, as well as safety hazards, and recommended repairs. Overall, we highly recommend Marshal for your home inspection needs.Posted on Daniel Marcus12/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Marshall enough. Working with GCs & other inspectors on and off over the years, he is by far the most thorough and caring I've worked with. He identifies any potential issues and has helped save me from making potentially large mistakes. He is always my top referral for anyone I know who may need an inspector.Posted on Jesse Weiman22/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marshall was extremely friendly and professional, and took the time to answer all my questions and guide me through the process before I'd even formally scheduled a job with him. Once I did and we were on site, he was effective, thorough, and explained everything as we moved through the home. The report provided after the job is detailed and easy to understand. I definitely recommend Marshall for any home inspection needs.Posted on Chad Seo18/02/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Marshal because we received a recommendation from the initial inspection to perform another round of detailed attic and mold inspections. Marshal conducted a detailed attic inspection and demonstrated his expertise by identifying additional critical areas to be addressed. I am 100% satisfied and would use Optimal Home Inspections for future home inspections!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
