Him and his son, who he was teaching at the time, arrived on time for the inspection. The house we purchased was a flip and we had had no idea what we were getting into. He mentioned quite a few issues in the report, however, there were MAJOR issues not mentioned that we found out about later that could have been avoided. The first problem- The son noticed the exterior outlets seemed as though they were not working correctly. Mark told him he used the old tool that does not work. We thought they figured out the issues but all of our exterior outlets did not work after moving in except for 2. -Our fan in the bathroom was not connected to anything so it just blew all of the air into the attic. We found this out because the roof was leaking above the bathroom since they installed the vent incorrectly. -We were having work done in the crawlspace and he never noticed live wires just sitting on the foundation. This has been irritating me ever since we started having problems with the house that could have been avoided. I also understand wanting to teach your son to join the business but I think there could have been a better way to go about it than just letting him go off on his own during such an important inspection.

After arriving at the inspection on time, Mike did the most thorough inspection someone buying a home could ask for! He was extremely knowledgeable and meticulous in his methodology. Mike walked me through his thought process every step of the way; explaining systems he was inspecting, detailing either potential issues or quality construction, and recommending potential fixes you can do as a homeowner or pointing out areas in which it would be a good idea to call in an expert. His inspection report was meticulous in its detail and thoroughness as well as timely - arriving on Monday (inspection was Saturday at 8:30am). Due to corporate relocation, this would be the 6th home inspection I've had in as many years and was hands down the best inspection I've gotten. Matika Home Inspections is who you want to call for a Home Inspection!

Seems like everybody else got the owner Andrew while we got Mike Depko. No big deal and he was…read morepleasant to work with, but missed a few things that we had a contractor come back and inspect, like...holes in the gable walls showing exposed tyvek, and a master bath vent that wasn't hooked up to the outside and was just venting to the attic (potential huge mold problem!). We had to supplement our response to the seller with these findings and luckily they agreed to fix them, but I was upset the they were missed in the first place. Mike also stated that the fireplace vent was non-functioning yet when our contractor took a second look he found it was just off the track and needed to be adjusted. I felt the inspection was rushed, he didn't seem to want me shadowing him and explaining what he saw (just said "it'll be in the report"). My final complaint was how he directed all of his findings at the end to my realtor instead of me as if I wasn't in the room at all. This is the second home I've bought and second time with an inspector, and although I was miffed about the above shortcomings I will say the rest of the inspection was thorough, including the sewer scope which was a big weight off my mind. I hope that this review is constructive criticism...take your time and include the homebuyer more in the process next time Mike!

We are in the process of purchasing our first home. Eric Sunderland did the inspection for us. He…read morewas INCREDIBLY thorough. He was incredibly knowledge about every aspect of the house, from the roof, to the facade, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, masonry, structural aspects... just about everything. At no point did I question his intelligence or qualifications. All of his explanations were detailed and concise. He asked us if we understood after every point he made. He is the real deal. I feel confident that all major issues that could have been observed were done so. We got an excellent report (physical and digital) which included all of the things that Eric told us during the walkthrough (which lasted about 1.5 hours). He took pictures of everything inspected and uploaded them to a custom photo album, available to be viewed online. Eric gave us tons of tips on how to maintain items in the house as well. I can make a confident and educated purchasing decision now. Highly Recommended!

I wasn't familiar with the process and he explained everything. I also found him to be very thorough. There were obvious items that I either missed or hadn't thought of. The best part was that he would explain his findings without making me feel stupid. We aren't all engineers but I consider myself somewhat intelligent. However, when it comes to something such as insulation and faulty brands, it is nice to be able to rely on an expert. I can't say the house I wanted to buy passed with flying colors and interestingly enough, I was ok with that. I was paying for peace of mind and the ability to be aware of potential issues. Eric would state his findings but was careful to not offer an opinion on if I should buy the house or not. That decision was up to me but he made sure I was well informed. I had a follow up question a few days later and he returned my call right away. The report that was sent had a every detail in it and was clearly laid out. I felt armed with enough information to make a good buying decision. While I did not particularly enjoy the entire buying/selling process, I would use this company again with confidence. Ask for Eric.
