About Trademark Inspection Services, LLC

Learn About Our Story and Meet Our Teem

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 As we have grown and expanded our services, it just no longer represents everything we do to serve our clients and have almost been forced (in a positive way) to rebrand and change our name.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!

I recently used Trademark for a pre-purchase inspection, including a Radon gas test and sewer scope. I was able to schedule an appointment just a couple of days in advance, which was very nice. Anthony Reaume was the inspector I worked with; he was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, answering all my questions throughout the inspection process. When all was said and done I walked away with a comprehensive report and recommendations on anything that needs attention. I can't think of anything else I would ask for from an inspection company.

ChrisYpsilanti, Michigan

Very good experience using this company. We had our inspection today and Anthony was great! He was more than on time, professional, and very knowledgeable. I feel comfortable knowing exactly what needs to be repaired going forward into buying our home. I will definitely be using Trademark in the future and recommending this company to my friends, family, and anyone else!

Aimee CooperFlat Rock, Michigan

Chris was absolutely fantastic!! He explained the process, what he was doing and why. He made suggestions, answered all my questions and gave a thorough review of everything when he was done. He even cleaned up the floors when he was done!!! Fantastic service all around!

Stacy WellerBrighton, MI

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

I had a great experience using Trademark Inspection Services for my home inspection and radon test! Kim was very helpful and made it easy to get scheduled and understand the included warranties, cost and paperwork. Chris' inspection of my home was very thorough and I really appreciated his answers to my questions and explanations of his findings throughout the walkthrough and in reviewing the inspection before he left. I feel very confident in the quality of the inspection and empowered with the knowledge of my home.
