This is the 6th consecutive year Mark & Benchmark have been named the Super Service Award winner for this area. In response Mark said, “I’m grateful to Angie’s List and especially my clients, for taking their valuable time to review my services. You know, our homes are our castles no matter their size. This is where we go and shut the door on the world at the end of our day. Our clients need to understand the condition of the homes they are buying. But we all need to how our homes work and feel comfortable being responsible for them and in them. This requires some basic knowledge that isn’t taught in schools. Providing that is not required by the State Home Inspector license law, but I just can’t see myself serving my clients to only that minimum standard, especially when that’s less than what they really need!” Angie’s List Super Service Award 2015 winners have met strict eligibility requirements, which include an “A” rating in overall grade, recent grade, and review period grade; the company must be in good standing with Angie’s List, pass a background check and abide by Angie’s List operational guidelines.Service company ratings are updated daily on Angie’s List. Companies are graded on an A through F scale in areas ranging from price to professionalism to punctuality.
