New Horizons Inspections offers a 90-day warranty to qualified customers.
We offer a warranty to back our thorough house inspections. We spend anywhere from one to four hours or more, as needed, on each residential inspection depending on the structure’s size and complexity. Since we are a husband/wife team, the hours are doubled, meaning trained and licensed house inspectors to examine the property for two to eight hours.
