We had them do a complete inspection for a home we where buying and they have been nothing but professional from start to finish and I have dealt with quite a few inspectors through the years and Ian was arguably one of the best if not the best I have ever experienced. The communication & professionalism could not have been better. Moving forward, I will make every effort to work with Zsako and especially Ian...Thanks again for a Great Job.....Jay & Gail read more

Very thorough home inspection, they answered a lot of questions for me and were very polite and professional. The reports were thorough and the issues were explained well and prioritized (fix this now, keep an eye on that, etc.). They included photos, instrument readouts, etc. for everything. read more

I really appreciate the one-stop scheduling for house, pest, radon, and sewer inspection but the house inspector didn't turn off one of the ovens which, because the house was unoccupied, wasn't discovered until three days later when the casita smelled of gas. Zsasko apologized, took responsibility, and even tried to remedy. Also be prepared for more inspections, for example, the Zasko sewer inspector could see a blockage but was completely wrong about the direction of the sewer line which was only discovered when we called out an actual sewer inspection/cleaning company. read more

Excellent service. Tech knew what he was doing and took his time to look at everything. Final report was clear and helpful. Definitely recommend read more

I found Istvan Zasko to be non-communicative and difficult to work with. I had a brief conversation with him and he agreed to do a building phase inspection. This is not a typical home inspection where an inspector comes in *after* a home is built to inspect what is in the completed home. Rather it was to inspect the framing, windows, electrical systems, plumbing, duct work etc., during the home-building process and *before* drywall was installed. Istvan said he was the only individual in his business qualified to do a construction phase inspection. I asked him to check to see if the builder had addressed the issues called out in an earlier inspection and to inspect any new items that were added since the previous inspection. He agreed to do this. We were to talk again prior to the inspection so I could provide more specifics about what I wanted, however Istvan failed to contact me even after I left multiple messages over a few days. Consequently, I had no idea if he would even show up. Everything was to be dry-walled the following day and if he failed to show, there would be no 2nd inspection to check on the builder's work. He did show up, but not without causing me a great deal of worry and concern. The 1st inspector was quite thorough. He combed the framework starting at one end of the home while moving carefully from one room to the next, and eventually to the other end of the home, taking notes and observing as he went. He pointed out multiple problems with the framing and other items that had not been installed correctly. After Istvan told me he had done the inspection, I asked if he went through the list and inspected each problem called out by the previous inspector. He said he had only spot checked the work the builder work. How does one know if a builder has made all of the corrections if the inspector only spot checks the work? Istvan said it would take too long and anyway, he "really wasn't qualified to do that kind of inspection". REALLY? This is quite different from what he said in our first conversation. At this point I was quite angry and regretted hiring him. The builders' had neglected to secure the framing appropriately in several places and Istvan's spot checking to see if the corrections were made was completely inadequate and could have compromised the safety of the home. The builder came the following day and covered up all of the framing with drywall, making it impossible to ever know if all the corrections had been made without doing a tear-down. read more

Tim did an amazing job inspecting our home prior to listing. He was thorough and extremely professional. He took the time to explain everything. I was very pleased with this company- including the business office, billing, and scheduling. I would definitely use them again. read more

We are in the process of buying a house in Santa Fe, sight unseen. Our real estate agent recommended Tim at Zsako. In addition to the full house inspection, we also ordered an inspection for radon, pests, and sewer. The inspectors were on time and very thorough. We've seen a couple of other home inspection reports before, but the main report was very thorough, comprehensive, and well organized. Detailed photos helped us get a good idea of where there are problems that need to be addressed. Armed with this information, we were able to get some bids on the high priority items that address the integrity of the home and safety issues. "Above expectations!" read more

Company office assistants are very rude and don't know what they are talking about when providing information on policies. They automatically default to "you're wrong and I'm right" instead of helping the paying customer. Inspector was very nice and thorough. He was very detail oriented when making his report. He even said he would come back to double check minor repairs. Never mentioned an additional price. I found out later he wouldn't go back unless I paid that additional charge. read more

Great inspector! Very thorough and knowledgeable. He pointed out all kinds of things we would have never noticed and was very patient in explaining everything to us. He saved us a lot of heartache! Highly highly recommend this company! read more

We had a great experience with Johnpaul on the inspection of a new construction home we are purchasing. Johnpaul found several small items that required correction, but most importantly gave us peace of mind that we are making a good purchase. Thanks! read more

As a first-time home buyer, I was confused and overwhelmed by the entire process; however, the employees of Zsako were awesome in helping me to schedule an appointment and were courteous and professional before, during, and after the inspection. Our inspector, Ian, was professional, thorough, and personable throughout the inspection and provided us with great feedback. Our inspection report was processed very quickly and contained pictures, comments, and suggestions to highlight every detail that Ian inspected. Overall, I had a great experience with Zsako and will definitely recommend them to all my friends and family in the future. read more

I'm a Realtor and my buyer wanted a one-stop-shop for all the inspections he was wanting, which included a full home, sewer scope, and termite/dry rot. We were able to get all three inspections done at the exact same time. The inspectors were timely, professional, and knowledgeable. We had one hiccup. The house had an aqua therm heating system. The inspector we had was unfamiliar with that system so Zsako immediately dispatched a technician who arrived within 30 minutes and was very informative. Great experience. Highly recommend. read more

Gordon showed up on time and was very thorough and knowledgeable about the inspection. His eye for detail is impeccable! The staff at Zsako were friendly and helpful with any questions we had and giving us referrals. We will definitely return to this company for service again. The peace of mind and value we found knowing that the house had been thoroughly inspected was well worth the cost to know we were making a good purchase. This is an excellent company! read more

Zsako Home Inspections provided timely, high quality service for an inspection on our new home pending sale. We were able to set up an appointment within 2 days, and received a full inspection report on the same day of the inspection. The inspection was richly detailed and extremely informative about the condition of every aspect of the home. In our case, there were (fortunately) no major issues uncovered, but we still learned a great deal about the home from the inspection. I would certainly use their services again, and would recommend to any homebuyers. read more

Istvan has performed two home inspections for us. He is incredibly professional, thorough and friendly. He takes the time to walk buyers through any issues or problems with the house and delivers his inspection report within 24 hours of the inspection. Reports are clear, detailed, well-written and include referential photos. Beyond his professionality, he is fair, honest and very easy to work with. read more

They do a very thorough and excellent work with their inspections with attention to detail. They're very professional and present an excellent report which is easy for buyers and sellers to understand and plan. I highly recommend them and have many experiences working with them over the years. read more

Tim is amazing!! I would recommend hiring this company to do an inspection before investing in any property in Santa Fe. They saved us from buying 2 money pits. read more

I a realtor in Santa Fe. Zsako is my "go to" company for inspections for both buyers and sellers. They are thorough and reasonable. I appreciate their knowledge of building and maintenance issues that are unique to this area. read more

Zsako Home Inspections is incredibly professional. Istvan performed two inspections for me in 2017. In both he uncovered undisclosed issues that saved me a lot of money and headache. Istvan is very thorough and goes above and beyond with his service - when I finally moved into the house, Istvan dropped by to help me resolve a furnace issue and make sure I was Ok. He came to me highly recommended and I concur - he is the best. Don't wast your time looking for another inspector - this is THE GUY in Santa Fe. read more
