About Trademark Inspection Services, LLC
Trademark Home Inspection, LLC was founded in February 2009. Starting out as a Single Man Operation (Matt Cottenham, General Manager). Matt realized there was a bigger need for the services we could provide to the community. We started with adding a Client Care Coordinator (Theresa Cottenham) to ensure the calls were being answered, and that began the growth of our Customer Service Mission.
Shortly after, we added a Customer Relation Specialist (Don Stout) to assist with continuing to learn about what our clients needed and wanted. We were truly a small family business at that time with Matt’s wife (Tiffany Cottenham) jumping in to help as she could.
In May of 2017, the need for the services of Trademark Home Inspection, LLC continued to grow, and we decided to move to a Multi Inspector Firm to meet this demand. Adding additional Inspectors, Marketing Staff, and a full time Office Manager, we have a Team of dedicated professionals to meet your needs.
Starting out as a Small Family Company, we take pride that as we continue to grow to keep that Family Atmosphere and look at all our employees as well as our clients as part of the Trademark Family.
Since 2008 we have been known as Trademark Home Inspection, and it has served us well. As we have grown and expanded our services, it just no longer represents everything we do to serve our clients and have almost been forced (in a positive way) to rebrand and change our name. Trademark Home Inspection, LLC is now Trademark Inspection Services, LLC.
You can expect the same great service, with the same people, just under a new name. With us offering Home Inspections, Commercial Inspections, Mold Inspections, Radon Gas Testing, Sewer Camera Inspections, and more, it just makes since. We are proud to now be known as Trademark Inspection Services, LLC.
We hope you give us an opportunity to “Let our family protect your family!”

What Our Clients Are Saying!
Trademark is incredibly thorough! The ONLY inspectors I would trust with my home! From setting the appointment to climbing into the attic and crawling under the house, they are incredibly talented. Please do yourself the best favor, and always use and recommend Trademark!!
Paige CookNovi, MI 
Excellent service! Joe was Very friendly and respectful. He even showed up early and started before we arrived. He Went over results with us on the spot, was easy to talk to and very helpful. Being a first time home buyer, I am so happy I chose this inspection company. Highly recommend.
Casey MoranRiver Rouge Michigan 
Chris and Mitch were extremely helpful and professional. Chris explained the process very clearly and the results thoroughly. Recommend to any of my friends who are in the home buying process
Natalie WardSouthfield Michigan 
If you ask my ex wives, I'm very hard to please. I generally refuse to leave reviews unless I was very impressed or very disappointed; this is one of those times.
I priced multiple companies, and this one was on the higher cost side. However, this is one example of you get what you pay for.
Joe was my inspector. He was extremely detailed, listened to all of my concerns, gave honest solutions, and followed through with every question. I applaud his level of detail and professionalism. Excellent people skills with a lot of shareable knowledge. Working with him placed many of my concerns at ease when considering the purchase of a home.
QuinnEcorse Michigan 
Mitch did my inspection for a 2nd time in my process to find my first house and did a great job going the extra mile once again. Was able to walk me thru things and teach me some things and even giving possible rough estimates on costs.
Charlie B. Taylor Michigan 
Mitch was great and thorough the our inspection. He provided explanations and suggestions throughout the service. Highly recommend!
Jaynie GMonroe, MI 
Very thorough and professional. And Curt was very kind and helped me out with any questions I had even if they didn’t pertain directly to the inspection. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good company.
Devon PettyVan Buren Twp, MI 
Jim was very professional and thourough! Highly reccomend!
Kayla BurtonClarkston MI 
Fantastic job! Easily the most thorough inspection I've ever seen. Mitch was the reason I wanted your company to do my inspection. He inspected the house I just sold. I will definately recommend your company to anyone I know needing an inspection. Thank you for a job well done
Brad DavidsonAugusta Township Michigan 
It was a miracle Joe was able to come out and do the inspection as quickly as he did (we booked 2 days before). He was very thorough and explained everything in words a first time homebuyer could understand, and managed to convince my Father that it was a good house with relatively minor issues (another miracle)!
