Please remember that we can only inspect what can be seen at the time of the inspection! If there are extreme cluttered conditions that will prohibit a proper inspection, consult with your agent to arrange the buyer to move the clutter in key areas. If we can’t see it we can’t report on it!

At New Home Inspectors, we know that behind every home or property purchase is a buyer who needs to make an informed decision before investing their hard-earned money. We take pride in every inspection and ensure that our reports are both comprehensive and easy to understand. If there is an attic opening we are in it, access to the crawlspace we are crawling and a safe walk-able roof we are on it! If we can touch it we inspect it, if we can’t we fly our drones over it!!
