Thank you Mark for an amazing home inspection. We feel confident that we know each and everything that needs addressed in our new home.

We will for sure use your name for anyone looking for an inspector. Thank you Michelle & Mike Rench

Mark was outstanding! My realtor suggested using someone else, but their price was at least $100 higher, so I decided to press my luck with Mark (plus someone else recommended him to me). He is very professional, thorough, and outgoing. Its not mentioned anywhere, but he can go to Missouri too! You will not regret his service.
- A.K., February 2017

Mark thank you so much for your time and professionalism it was a pleasure to work with you!
- T.M., February 2016
He is incredibly thorough, knowledgeable and gives a very detailed report. He's professional, courteous, and even encourages his clients to tag along with him if they would like to on the inspection but not on the roof for safety reasons. His turn around time on the report is amazingly fast. We got it later that same day. Mark is indeed the best.
- S.C., Huntsville AL, February 2016
Mark great job on the inspection. I really like the way your report makes everything very plan and easy to spot the areas of concern. Again thanks to you and your team for a job well done.

- A.W., May 2015
You were awesome! My husband is so much more comfortable after talking with you, I so appreciate the time you took answering his questions.
- L.W., May 2015
This was the very best $275.00 I have spent in the last 20 years. I asked many people who the best inspector around was and Mark was mentioned every time! When he showed up at the prospective home I was in a contract to purchase; he explained to me and my wife exactly how the inspection was going to be performed. When he started he immediately notified me and my wife that there was an issue with the foundation. He explained what was wrong. The homeowner had tried to do a cheap fix, but it was not the PERMANENT fix. The home had shifted, The cracks through the foundation and the outside brick were getting worse ans he showed me that the brick walls were actually still moving! I do not think any other inspector would have found it. His expertise saved me from making a $250,000.00 MISTAKE!!! Because of his thoroughness I was able to break the contract. You will not find a better inspector around the Metro East area! Thank you for your outstanding service! J&J O
- J.O., May 2015
How does one rate perfection in an inspector - two words - Mark Oldfield - that is how.
- N.W., April 2015
Friendly, personable, informative and OUTSTANDING! We would most certainly recommend Mark Oldfield for an inspection.
- R.R., March 2015
Now, this is a home inspector. We have now asked Mark to inspect two homes for us in St. Louis. The first one he inspected ended up being a total dud, and Mark was the one that found the problems that had been carefully hidden. He saved us from what could have been a major money pit. After seeing how detailed and thorough his inspection was on the first home, we went with him again as we continued our search, and he did not disappoint. He was exceptionally thorough once again and enabled us to confidently go into the closing of our home. I would highly recommend Mark for any home inspection you have, and we will be using him for all of our future home purchases.
- H.H., March 2015
This was the most thorough inspection I have ever experience obviously someone who has integrity and most of all wants and will do a professional job. His attention to details and knowledge is what the industry should require of all inspectors. He came prepared to get into craw spaces, climb on roof, inspect every outlet, plumbing etc. 2.5 hrs well spent. He is definitely the person to have in your corner when buying a house. I would not buy another house without him. He encouraged questions and allowed shadowing so he provide immediate explanation for anything he observed. His experience of over 10,000 inspections was well represented when you call his company you get him/Mark. the person with the experience not another person. The report is very detailed with picture and explanations. This is what an inspection is suppose to be not be. When he is done you can make a very well educated choice about the house you consider buying. Fare Price & honest thoroughness still exist-MARK
- K.N., February 2015

06/04/2014. Hands Down!!!!!! The best inspector in the business. This being my first time buying a home, wanting to ensure this home met all the safety standards, and worth the purchase price ? I looked for Mark?s expertise. Without any doubt, he educated me and meticulously inspected my future home. Mark has extensive knowledge and walked me through each section of the inspection. Since time is of an essence when purchasing a home, he completed the inspection before the standard turnaround time that the state requires of 48 hrs. His work speaks for itself and if you want an experienced, sophisticated, educated and most importantly an insured inspector?.Mark Oldfield is your man!!!!! I highly recommend him because he has the purchaser in his best interest. Thanks Mark for taking your job extremely serious and easing any doubts a first time home owner may have.
