Marco is extremely thorough and professional. He does not rush the inspection at all, answers questions as he goes, and provides a report with pictures and concise notes that is very easy to work with very soon after the inspection. Great service! read more

I used Marco on the recent home I considered buying and he was amazing. He was thorough, professional and detailed. All the proper traits required when you are about to spend big bucks. He is great at his job. read more

Home Check was amazing. The inspection was incredibly thorough and timely. We asked for an extremely quick turnaround and they met the mark and spared no detail. I highly recommend Home Check. read more

Marco proved to be a very calming presence in a stressful inspection and purchase process. We initially were under contract in August, and the initial inspection came back with a gajillion issues. Marco's thorough report helped us make a decision to back away from the deal. His report is fantastic. It includes the images he took, explanations of the issues, diagrams as to how the item(s) should operate, and expected price range for cost to repair. The report was electronic and included organized tabs and links within the document, including a "Main Concerns" section that outlined the non-cosmetic issues that required immediate addressing. It truly allowed us to make an informed decision, in an area that was hardly our forte. In addition, Marco walked us through his findings, allowing us to ask questions and walking us through the answers. We pulled back from the house based off of his report, knowing it would be biting off more than we could chew. Fast forward a few months. House came back on the market. We received assurances that extensive repairs had been done. We called Marco back for a new inspection knowing we would have a thorough list shortly. We did, and based off of that and a conversation with Marco, felt reassured in moving forward. We are now almost a week into our new home, and could not be happier. We certainly owe a lot of that to Marco. Oh, and fun fact - if you have had 2 inspections, he throws in the 3rd for free. :) read more

Awesome service. We had a fantastic experience and Marco was very kind, knowledgeable, and responsive.

You hire Marco K. you are doing so at your own risk. His incompetence or collusion, either way has cost us tens of thousands of dollars. Mold damage that was is clear and plain view for any competent home inspector. In the beginning he seemed concerned and willing to help. However after all work was complete I contacted Marco to figure out a settlement, his words were and I quote "file a lawsuit because I'm ready". Another bit of advice do your research when it comes to a home inspector not just your agents word and always hire a mold inspector. read more

See all

Marco is very dedicated professional. His inspection was thorough and he pointed out strengths and deficits of the house, steps, and adjacent structures. His report was also thorough, 98 pages. It was in-depth, yet understandable. It's a nice touch that he also provides termite inspection certificate with his inspection. He is patient, easy to talk to--overall a very good person, and I felt that the home inspection was top notch. read more

Marco is awesome! This is the 5th property he's infected for us and he's done a thorough job every time. This time he was able to come out on a Saturday after Hurricane Ida and reinspect a property for storm damage after already assessing it in the regular course before. He immediately gave us results and provided the report on the next business day. Really awesome! Thanks Marco! read more

Marco was scheduled to arrive at 10 AM on our inspection day and he arrived early, prepared and ready to go! He conducted a very thorough real estate house inspection for my client (buyer) spending 3 hours in, under and on top of the house! (Not really on top of the house but in the attic!). The inspection report was very thorough and was emailed to me within 3 days. I highly recommend Marco for all of your home inspection needs. read more

The inspection was extremely thorough. The inspector was on time, inspected all aspects of the condo, checked all components, was able to detect new water issues versus older damage. He identified and found quite a few issues saving us possible big headaches and great expense in repairs. Highly recommend! read more

This was an excellent and very thorough of a condo we are interested in purchasing on St. Charles Ave. Marco came highly recommended by our Realtor, and we now know why! The inspection was done within days of the request, and the full report was emailed to us within a few days. After we read through it, we had additional questions, mostly a better understanding of a few things that were pointed out. Marco's email mentioned to call or text him anytime, so I texted him. He got back to me very quickly and asked if we could chat then. We spent 15 minutes or so on the phone, and he expertly explained the areas of the report where we had questions. Not only was he professional in our conversation, but he was also very personable and easy to talk to. The explanations to all of our questions were clear, and we truly appreciated his point of view. Overall, this was a GREAT experience. read more

I've hired Marco for most of my clients' home inspections for the last 20 years. Whenever I've worked with other home inspectors, I find they are not as thorough and don't care as much as Marco. He is thorough and speaks to my clients in a professional manner. For the last 20 years, I think he's the best home inspector out there. read more

Marco's home inspection service was way above my expectations. Home Check was recommended to us by our real estate agent for inspection of a home we were buying in Lakeview. The report was super thorough and very well organized - it even came with an "action list" that made it easier for me to read as a lay person, and, easy for our agent to create the inspection response. He took the time to explain things in person before we received the report, too, so, we had more context when we received the written report. I would definitely recommend him to a friend who needs an inspector! read more

Marco provided excellent service! He is very professional and thorough. He asked me what were my concerns before starting the home inspection and after the inspection gave me a verbal explanation before sending the full report via email. I can't say enough about his workmanship and knowledge!! Marco definitely exceeded my expectations. read more

Wish they had a zero star option . Made problems that were not there and cost me a home sale . Example had chimney renovated by local chimney company and everything worked fine . Marco claimed damper did not work and fireplace was only for show . Just one example . read more

Great, honest, and detailed service. Mr. Marco did an awesome job inspecting my "soon to be home" that I opted out of. He found many hidden information that the sellers were just covering up. I highly recommend this company to anyone who needs an inspection. read more

good luck getting this guy to respond or fulfill his commitment to your buyers - once he has already been paid, mind you. He has lost my business for good. read more

I've used Marco's Home Check Inspections on MANY homes over the past 15 years and Marco has always been very thorough & professional. I admire his expertise & great work ethic! read more

I am purchasing my first home and this business has made that process completely horrible. The only reason this company is getting even one star is because it's required in order to post this review. I think the best way to give a complete rundown of what occurred here is to just share the email I sent to this business: "Afternoon Marco - I received your text message earlier and felt it better to respond via email as opposed to an attempt to respond clearly and completely, via text. To be very frank, while I can understand being ill, I do not feel as though this situation was handled appropriately. Nor do I feel as though I was given the service I would expect from a business owner especially considering the tight deadline which was communicated to you from the beginning. Here are my issues with the way my service was handled: 1. My report was promised to me late the night of the 16th. If this was not to happen, that information should have been communicated. (I see my check had no issue making it's way to the bank therefore a simple text or email should not have been that difficult.) 2. I contacted [Agent] the morning of the 17th and advised I did not receive the report. She then contacted you and, after waiting several hours for a response, was told we would receive it by 1:00 p.m. Again, at that time you could have easily stated you were terribly ill and asked if I could possibly request an extension from my buyer. This is a matter or HONESTY and INTEGRITY. Instead, I am on this emotional roller-coaster wondering if I've just wasted $300 to lose MY VERY FIRST HOME. 3. Once the second deadline passes (which again was set by you) I am frantic and have to put a valued contractor [Contractor who referred this business] in the awkward position of helping me figure out what the heck is going on while still attempting to do my full time job as a supervisor at a multi-million dollar asset who is currently working through rectifying damage caused by a lightening strike. Can you even imagine how utterly stressful and emotionally draining that would be? 4. I am left panic stricken as I watch the hours slip away with my dream of owning my first home. Then my agent gets a text from your wife that you are sick and just can't do it. I have to request an extension from my seller and scramble to not lose out. Thank GOD the agent granted the extension, but what if she had not? 5. If you think for a second your wife telling me the report would be here by 3:00 p.m. today but I got it at 4:00 a.m. strikes me as under promising but over delivering, you are sorely mistaken. That further extends my disbelief you were sick to begin with. 6. [Agent] reminds me that the report is not even complete! I don't have the termite included! Do you mention this in your email? Do you text either of us to say, "Hey guys, the report was sent and the termite will be there by (time)"? Nope. You leave it up to your client to yet again manage the communication. 7. You text me a "sorry" and I'm assuming expect some sort of sympathy for whatever 24 hour bug you had? I can think of no other word beyond "laughable". Allow me to help you figure this out. What you SHOULD have said was something along the lines of, "I am so terribly sorry. I completely and utterly screwed up and for that I sincerely apologize. There is no excuse for the way you were treated and I completely dropped the ball on this one..." At that point, I feel as though perhaps I could have been more understanding; extended a little more grace. But you didn't even take responsibility for your screw up. Which, let me be clear, was not being sick or failing to meet a deadline. It was failing to behave in a professional manner and effectively communicate with your PAYING client. Yeah, the report is nice but in light of all of the above I can tell you I am disappointed, feel utterly disrespected and really just disgusted by the whole situation. I expect my termite report before the end of the business day, which for me is 3:00 p.m." To date I have not received my termite inspection report and Marco Kouzoukas is not returning phone calls, emails, text messages, etc. As I said above, it was a nice report but at what expense? If you have all the time in the world to wait for the company to get its head out of its rear, use them. But I caution you to not take any promises/deadlines seriously as they certainly won't. read more

Hire Home Check if you want a half-assed, sloppy home inspection that will cost you thousands of dollars in home repairs shortly after moving into your new home. Be sure to also check the state board website to see a decade of complaints against him. read more

I'm reading some of these reviews and I must say "that was not my experience". He gave me a thorough and comprehensive report. So much so that I'm going to recommend him to my son. read more

The worst. Absolutely will not return a call, or complete/return report on time. Don't put yourself through the agony of trying to get this company to respond. Avoid at all costs. read more
