Review of TEK Inspections - Inspector Brett Neumark…read moreInspection 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.

TEK inspected a new Toll Brothers home around the time our official walkthrough…read more 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.

Glen is an Excellent Technician and Celtic is an Excellent company. I say this because when we…read morefirst interviewed companies last yr for our termite problem, they all wanted a monthly contract and much, much higher prices for the problem. Glen did NOT think a monthly was necessary and felt the traps he installed would suffice for any additional termite activity (after he exterminated our infestation). True-to-form, Glen was exactly right, and the termite activity in the past year was intercepted by the traps he installed with no other activity around and inside the house.. Thank you Glen and Celtic Pest control for your honest and professional service... :) ...

This is the 3rd time I've had G&R pest control out to our home. They are certified killers. The employees are friendly, professional, clean, and knowledgeable. This is a local run Reno company so you won't have some insect advisor show up wearing a neck tie telling you what bug package they are trying to make you sign a contract for. Thanks G&R pest control for maintaining our property.

Kent was excellent! My house is relatively small and he was here for several hours and I could…read moretell he was being incredibly thorough, which is exactly what I wanted in an inspector. After he was done, he took the time to chat with me to discuss what he found, propose solutions, and answer any questions I had. He was very clear in how he described things and would show pictures of what he found and pictures of what it should look like. He clearly takes pride in his work and has years of experience. A couple days later, I received his official written report and I was pleasantly surprised at how long and detailed it was. If you need an inspection, this is the guy to hire! Also, his wife, Lori, handles scheduling/admin duties and she was also very pleasant to work with.

I found Kent on Yelp and gave him a shout. Made an appointment and boom, the inspection began. Kent was at our home almost 5 hours. I was extremely impressed with his knowledge of construction and building code. Needless to say our home is looking pretty good. Kent did find a few items I need to have Toll Brothers fix. A cracked roof tile, an unmarked fire door entering the home from the garage, and a landscaping drainage issue. If you are looking for peace of mind with the investment regarding your home, I highly recommend Kent come take a look. With decades of experience Kent's sharp eye will bring light to the unknown in your home.

I contacted them for squirrel removal. Noel came with a bait box, gruff but whatever. All goes…read morewell, 2 week inspection to see how much of the poison is gone, I speak with Noel again and I mention that I haven't seen squirrels in 2 weeks and that I unscrewed the bait box to see how much was eaten, doesn't look like much is gone. No big deal in my mind. 6pm Noel is at my door, are you home? I need to take the bait box, my supervisor will call you. Very rude! What's going on? He will call you. You admitted to touching the bait box so I have to pull it. No further answers. I am stunned! I get a call about 30 minutes later from a Victor, completely rude and from the tone of his voice he is ready for conflict and confrontation. I have no idea what I have done wrong at this point or why this is happening. Victor proceeds to tell me that I should know better than touch poison and have tampered with their box and bc I have a dog it will be removed immediately. Huh?? Totally stunned and offended that this person is basically calling me stupid. Noel never told me that if I touched it in anyway that I was in some sort of violation or said anything other than it was poison, duh, and keep the dog away. Again, duh. I am not a moron. I did what any regular person would do and one time looked in when I hadn't seen any squirrels in a week or so to see if the bait was being eaten. I didn't lick my fingers like I ate chicken nor did I let my dog, who was so super not interested in the bait box or what I was looking at come near me. The "supervisor " Victor was so rude and acted like he is in charge of something very special and told me "this was for my dog's well being" and that " I should know better" . Appreciated, but, again, I'm not stupid. It's MY dog. Why would I let her near poison? I simply unscrewed the cap, on the very top, and looked inside. Then screwed the cap back on. The end. Didn't disturb a single thing. NO ONE TOLD ME NOT TO LOOK AT IN IT OR I WOULD BE IN SOME KIND OF BREACH IF I DID. Victor was SUPER argumentative and very unprofessional for a "supervisor" . I ended with asking him to refund my portion of the 2 weeks I paid for the bait box and he could have it back. Mmmk mmmmk mmmkk, I will, I will, is what I got. So completely rude and aggressive for no reason. I even told him this was a review and he didn't care. I am unsatisfied and offended. It was $275.00 for one month and no one has come knocking with a refund check, as I requested. Corporate. Review your people and policies. I will tell everyone I know how awful my experience was with this company, Take a management class Victor and work on your customer service skills.

Beware of this company. They give you no information on the pest that you're dealing with (bed…read morebugs)! They do NOT come back and re-treat,even though they know that they come back. They treated my home,only checked the beds,and charged me $2,500.00. They don't offer anything after a treatment and the bed bugs came back into my home and they pretty much told me that they were sympathetic but that I would have to pay another $2,500.00.They gave us no after care nor did they give us any information about how bed bugs cycles are.

Orkin came to my rescue the same day I called and my horrific bug problem was fixed in 1 day…read more I live in a loft with a 18 ft. garage door in my kitchen that lifts from the ground to the ceiling...so the project of keeping bugs out of my house is not a joke. Jose Gomez has been spraying my house monthly for 6 months and he genuinely cares about the concerns I have, he's punctual, responsive and he's very diligent. Jose simply goes above and beyond and because of the quality service he provides for me each month, Orkin Pest Control Services exceeded my expectations and I will be an Orkin customer for life.

We used Yelp's Request A Quote to contact Orkin. We were initially happy to hear from them quickly…read morebut that faded as the call progressed. Orkin has a national reputation and I expected better service than we received. Instead of speaking to someone informed about the services and knowledgable about the local area, I received someone who was pleasant and friendly, but reciting a script with the desired outcome of signing me up for a year's worth of monthly services without ever assessing the actual problem. On top of that, the entire process of this call was extremely lengthy and to complete it and hang up, it required a lot of personal information, including a credit card so they could process payment after the tech did visit to assess! I called in specifically to address rodents in and around my home, something this company was founded upon, but what I was being sold were general pest control services on a recurring basis, and that was necessary to get someone out to my house to actually see what was happening firsthand. This type of sales tactic is doing a disservice to the consumer, the company, and the very technicians hired to service the clients and should be remedied ASAP. I personally felt I was taken advantage of and called right back to cancel the appointment.
