From the moment I contacted them, the team was professional, responsive, and thorough. Ryan the inspector, was incredibly detailed in his examination, pointing out potential issues that I wouldn't have noticed on my own. His report was clear, concise, and included helpful recommendations for repairs and maintenance. I added the Radon testing service. The entire process was smooth and stress-free, and I felt confident in my purchase decision thanks to their expertise. I highly recommend Northwoods Home Inspection Group to anyone looking for a reliable and thorough home inspection service. read less

Not sure if it's standard for Northwoods, but I appreciated that two inspectors showed up.  Reassuring that it wasn't just one guys skill set being used and they both shared in the walkthrough on their findings.  Report was crazy thorough too.  They called out everything and organized it in a way based on priority and significance. Out of the ~20 things noted, they highlighted 2 items that were critical.  Awesome job Ryan and James!!! read less

So professional, knowledgable and thorough.  Ryan, my inspector, didn’t miss any details and explained everything thoroughly.  Ryan was easy to work with and was available to come to the property within a day or two.  As the buyer I wasn’t able to attend the inspection in person so Ryan explained everything over the phone and he even explained where everything was located as far as water valves and gas lines.  I will definitely use them in the future.  Their turnaround was very quick in the report. The report was very detailed and organized and had pictures of all their findings. read less
