Ken Marchi saved us from buying an expensive money pit! The home was freshly painted, had new carpet, recessed lighting, new ceiling fans, new kitchen cabinets and the shingles looked great from the ground. He found what they were hiding. Leaking plumbing, the whole roof needed to be replaced, the chimney nor the added on rooms and porch were not built to code and 3 new windows were 3 inches to small for the openings they were placed in so the wall had been taking on water. Mold and mildew were definitely a problem. Thank Mr. Ken Marchi I will hire you again to look at my next dream home!

Ken was the most professional, knowledgeable and conscientious home inspector with whom either my husband and I have ever worked. His response to request on your site was within seconds and he was willng to meet our needs for a Saturday inspection with mold testing. Recommend him without reservation.

Mr. Marchi's attention to detail was very impressive. He spent a great deal of time at the property. I was present for the inspection and he took the time to explain every aspect of the inspection, which really helped me to prioritize the safety issues that were raised. His report was extremely detailed and clear.

From first contact through the inspection Ken was professional, full of knowledge and explained everything. His contact with our project manager was professional but insistent that things be done to code or to reasonable safety standards if a code dod not apply. He was very thorough and I feel we will be protected if any construction issues turn up later.
