Review of TEK Inspections - Inspector Brett Neumark Inspection Date: March 27, 2025 Company Slogan: "Dedicated to your peace of mind" We are deeply disappointed with the level of service provided by TEK Inspections and inspector Brett Neumark. Our experience was far from the peace of mind promised by the company's slogan, and the consequences of the oversights during our inspection have been costly, frustrating, and stressful. 1. Incomplete Attic Inspection Mr. Neumark failed to inspect the attic entirely because the entrance was located above the washer and dryer in the laundry room. Although the current homeowners gave full consent to move the units--an easy task requiring no more than shifting them five inches--Mr. Neumark refused. Our realtor ultimately moved them without issue, but only after we insisted that the attic be inspected. Even then, the inspector was visibly annoyed that we requested he complete the job. 2. Rodent Infestation Overlooked Despite noting droppings in the garage, Mr. Neumark inaccurately concluded they were old and that there was no active infestation. Within 24 hours of moving in, we discovered a live family of mice in the garage. Additionally, there were mouse droppings in the attic--completely omitted from his report--confirming an active and ongoing rodent problem that should not have been missed. 3. Bathtub Leak Ignored The secondary bathroom's bathtub leaked significantly the first time we used it, causing water damage to the floor. The inspector claimed he could not properly assess it for fear of damaging the facade. However, upon closer inspection, we found it was secured by only six easily removable screws. It took us less than a minute to confirm the leak ourselves. This lack of effort was inexcusable. 4. Structural Oversight A large, gaping hole--about the size of a football--was left unnoticed under the eaves near the back patio door. Nesting birds, feathers, and debris made it clear this had been an ongoing issue, yet it was not mentioned in the report. This type of structural vulnerability should have been immediately flagged by any qualified inspector. 5. Incorrect and Costly Radon Advice We were incorrectly advised that installing a vapor barrier in our crawl space would resolve elevated radon levels. Based on this recommendation, we paid $1,200 to a local pest control company--only to find out it did nothing to fix the issue. A professional radon specialist later explained that proper ventilation is required, which cost us nearly $5,000. This misinformation was both costly and dangerous. Conclusion The inspection felt rushed and careless. Critical issues that any competent home inspector should have identified were either ignored or misdiagnosed. The inspector appeared more interested in finishing quickly than in ensuring our home was safe and sound. We strongly caution others against using TEK Inspections. In our opinion, this company is not committed to its slogan or to providing the level of diligence and professionalism that homebuyers deserve. read more

TEK inspected a new Toll Brothers home around the time our official walkthrough. TEK was professional, efficient and thorough from start to finish. Elisa got the site visit scheduled on short notice despite shifting time windows imposed by the developer; she promptly submitted the insurance, bonding and certification documentation required by the developer; she resolved last minute snafus that threatened to cancel the inspection. Ty arrived on site at the appointed time and inspected the home systems thoroughly during the builder-limited 3 hour window. The inspection included IR inspection of appliances, drone inspection of the roof (since developer denied physical access), and physical inspection of crawl and attic spaces. Ty's report was available in less than 24 hours. The report included photos of every nook and cranny inspected, indications of proper and deficient findings, as well recommendations for deficient findings. Recommended. read more

Such a great company to work with...timely, efficient, friendly and our peace of mind restored!!

I have used Tek for two home inspections in the last few months. In one of the inspections, Tek found major issues with the house that were not disclosed to me, likely saving me tens of thousands of dollars in repairs. I met both inspectors and both were professional and took the time to explain their findings to me. Getting a home inspection from Tek is something you won't regret. Thank you Ty, Brett, and the rest of the Tek Inspections staff! read more

Only the best inspections. On time, professional and efficient. Very thorough and detailed report! Thank you!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I was looking to purchase a duplex in Reno. I live in the Bay Area and was able to schedule and handle everything remotely and smoothly. They sent one of the most detailed Home Inspection reports that I'd ever seen and literally saved me $60-100k in potential repairs if I closed in escrow. I'll be using them for the next property. read more

TEK was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They went over every inch of the house inside and out and told me everything I needed to know. Highly recommend. read more

Very professional team, did a great job. I used them on a small apartment complex I am buying and found them very through. Thank You read more

Great service. Accurate and professional. Very thorough! This service tells it like it is. I would use them again without a doubt.

Great inspection experience with TEK. This was a small apartment job, but very professionally done and super quick turnaround time for the final report. Highly recommend! read more

Great customer service! I got a thorough home inspection and detailed report. Ty did a great job and the follow through was very helpful. I would recommend TEK Inspections to any of my family or friends. read more

Wonderful service, great communication, would definitely use again! Received inspection report same day as inspection. Impressed with thorough review and report, much more confident in purchase after service performed. Highly recommend!!!! 5 stars read more

Brett was awesome!!!!. This company is so professional in ever way!! From scheduling, to showing up on time even a little earlier, to answer question while inspecting the house while he was there. So thorough and received our report back within two days. The report had great pictures and great explanations. Definitely the company you want to use!!! read more

They were very cordial and thorough. They took us through all their findings and were very detailed. They wore masks the whole time we were with them. I would highly recommend them. read more

The most incompetent inspection company I've ever ran into. As the home owner I should NOT be finding things wrong after I move in. Oh but the inspector was quick to point out the small cracks in the tile flooring but missed the electrical problems that I'm now fixing. Everyday I'm finding more and more problems that this inspection company should've found! I would NOT EVER use this company for any type of inspection you'll need. read more

TEK performed with a high level of professionalism and made certain that all issues were clear. Follow-up was provided without a special request being made. There's no greater sense of confidence than having a solid home inspection report to base my purchase off of. The great work relationship between TEK and my real estate agent was a godsend. read more

I just had Cole from Tek Inspections out to see a house we are purchasing. He was on time, incredibly helpful, professional and very, very personable. His report was very detailed, he spent a lot of time with me going over my questions this being my first home purchase. The house has a few issues due to its age and it was good to have some detailed explanations regarding as to what order and importance to approach repairs. I just love a great attitude :) read more

TEK Inspections did a thorough job for us, detailing any problems with our house with clear, color photos and a detailed explanation in the report. Cole, our inspector, arrived promptly and was attentive to the many things he needed to check. He was pleasant and open to pointing our personally anything he felt we should see, which we greatly appreciated. We would fully trust TEK Inspections to do any home inspection we need in the future. read more

I have used TEK as my house inspector in purchasing 2 houses. They do the best inspections that I have ever seen. They also do an infrared inspection (additional small charge) to see if there are any leaks within the house. They cover all aspects in an inspection (electrical, structural, appliances, crawl spaces, attic, etc.). I would recommend them to anyone! read more

Timely, professional, thorough, friendly! Got our inspection report the same day! 10 out of 10 would recommend again and again.

Awesome inspection service. Fast and thorough. Detailed report. Job well done. Thanks Tek!

Brett inspected a home that I was considering for purchase.. He was totally professional & I felt also went above & beyond to make sure that I understood the exact details of each area (inside & out) that he inspected. His roof inspection also included overhead drone viewings and was as perfectionist a product in conclusion as could ever be possible! In addition to carefully examining inside areas of this home, his outer areas inspections were just as thorough. He pointed out specific concerns that he felt required further examination (by a contractor) regarding a retaining wall & a possible structures change in a sunroom addition to the house. Both could be very costly to a buyer if the signs he was seeing were indicative of deeper issues! He didn't try to over or understate possible outcomes of a contractor's review but clearly was thorough and had my best interests (as a buyer) in mind when he recommended I have additional analysis completed. A Detailed report was immediately emailed to me (the same day) as the inspection occurred which contained precise & clear photos of each and any area he had regarded as needing attention. I would totally use this company again and highly recommend them! read more

Very clean, informative, honest and respectful. They were on time and answered all of our buyer questions, making the home buying process easier!! read more

We will be moving into a newly contructed home soon and we decided to get the house inspected by a professional from TEK before our walkthrough. Some said we didnt need to do this since it's a new construction, so everything should be okay. Lo and behold, Cole from TEK still found some minor issues with the home. Cole was very detail oriented and keen in doing his work. He sent us a copy of the report right away, so our builder has enough time to work on the issues. We definitely recommend Cole and TEK to do your home inspection. read more

Both people at this business were so rude and defensive over the phone it was shocking. I was unable to even able to explain what it was that I was even asking. When there are many home inspection companies out there, I am actually thankful that I didn't have to waste my time with this kind of unprofessionalism. read more

Great Work! Very thorough process from the appointing booking to the inspection & follow-up, highly recommeded! read more

Tek Inspections are the most outstanding inspectors in town. As a Realtor my trust when I refer them to a client is utmost and they have never let me down. They are always on time and completely professional. read more

The inspection team was very professional, very detail with the inspection of my furniture home. Explaining everything and answered all my questions during the inspection. Emails following up as they promised. Very honest in reporting all their findings. Giving me peace of mind that I'm protected and feel confident in purchasing my new home. Definitely recommend to anyone I know. Thank you Brett and great job! read more

Showed up right on time. Brett was very pleasant and through. He gave me a general review of issues and suggestions right after his inspection. I had the full report by the end of the same day. read more

By far the most comprehensive, thorough and thoughtful home inspection I've seen. I could not be happier with TEK Inspections as they gave me peace of mind that I knew the condition of the home I was purchasing. read more

TEK were very thorough, found a few things, I don't think even the owners knew about. Thankfully nothing catastrophic. They were professional and had an extensive written report to us in less than a day. They came recommended by our excellent agent Andy Wertheim in Alpine Meadows. They come to Truckee and North Tahoe. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!! Unlike a few home inspectors we've used in years past for old home sales. read more

The inspection was very thorough and the report was detailed. Photos were included and information was presented in a clear and easy to understand format. read more

The inspection took place as agreed on a timely basis. The report was delivered by email within hours of the inspection being completed. The inspection seems all inclusive. The explanation of items of concern were clear. read more

Prompt, through, informative and responsive to follow up questions. We got the regular and IR inspections. The IR inspection didn't turn up much, but the regular inspection turned up quite a long list of items in need of attention. The inspection report was helpful in getting the builder to fix things before the close. (From what I've heard, that means the builder was a lot more likely to fix issues and fix them promptly. And getting things fixed involved a lot less hassle on our part.) I would definitely use TEK Inspections again and recommend them. Yes, even on new construction, for to err is human. read more

Having an inspection with them before my 1-yr new home warranty expires. Ty did a good job, they found multiple problems with my house. With the report from Tek, my house builder agrees to fix everything without any issue. The money I paid is totally worth it. CY read more

I've had the opportunity to use TEK Inspections for recent real estate transactions. Their staff and technicians were always pleasant, informative, efficient, and on time for appointments. The radon testing process and instructions were thorough and easy to understand. I will use them for all my future transactions. Thanks TEK read more

TEK was very easy to deal with. From making the appt to getting the report. Highly recommend.

We just purchased a home in NW Reno. As we started to look at the 20+ year old home before making an offer we noticed that there may be some issues with the siding, as well as other concerns that you might expect to find with a home beginning to age. The sale process moved quickly so when we talked toTEK about scheduling our inspection they were very accommodating with getting it scheduled to help meet our deadlines. Ty and Brett showed up right on time. I was impressed with how each of them had their inspection areas and thoroughly looked at each aspect of the structure, and the plumbing, electrical, etc. The pest inspector showed up while they were there and TEK worked very professionally with them to inspect under the home together, which I thought was a bonus for me to have two inspectors looking for things under the home at the same time. I could hear them talking to each other about what they saw and how it affected the home. When they had finished their inspection I figured that I'd get a copy of the report from my Realtor and review it. TEK actually got me, my Realtor, and the Seller's Realtor together and went over the inspection. They had photos of what they saw and were able to answer questions on the spot, That was really helpful when TEK had found some small issues with some shingles on the NEW roof which was installed a couple of months ago. Even though this was new, TEK didn't blow it off, they climbed up there and inspected it, and actually showed us a problem they found. The Seller's agent couldn't dispute it and subsequently, the roofer was back out and corrected the issue! From scheduling to the post-inspection follow up their office kept us informed, and the final report was presented timely. It was very refreshing to have something so important handled so quickly and professionally. I actually felt confident making an offer knowing what I was buying!!! read more

The TEK crew is extremely knowledgeable, personable, thorough, and professional. They went through all their findings and recommendations with us on site, but also emailed us a fool-proof report our records. There's always a few fixes on any house (esp. on an old house like the one we bought) and we are so happy to know what they are up front. The crew was efficient and helped guide us through recommended timelines for small fixes/maintenance over the years. Plus the inspection was affordable, incredible service for the price. We feel so much more confident moving into our new home, thanks TEK! read more

These guys were thorough and gave a complete explanation of all shortcomings in our prospective new house. I would totally recommend tek inspections to my friends. read more
