"Every report is clear, thorough, and packed with photos — so you understand your home's condition and can move forward with confidence."
At A Closer Look Home Inspection, Peter Newman doesn't just check boxes and hand you a stack of paper. Every report opens with a plain-language summary that separates major defects and safety concerns from routine service-and-repair items — then walks through every major system with clear, annotated photos so you know exactly what you're looking at.
Browse the three real sample reports below. They range from a clean, move-in-ready home to a thorough older-home inspection with a major structural finding — showing the same level of detail Peter brings to every property.
From a move-in-ready home to a comprehensive older-home inspection — each is an actual example of the photo-rich, easy-to-read reports you'll receive.
A newer two-story home with no major defects and no safety concerns. Even on a solid property, Peter documents every system in full — roof, HVAC, attic, electrical, and plumbing — flagging only minor maintenance items so you know your home inside and out.
