Fast forward 14 months later and we cannot find his report he gave us which points out where septic is , within mintues he was responding to me and rather then saying hed look and get back to me he actually rememeberd how many steps it was off the back corner of my home , sure enough it was exactly where he said. I also had a few other questions about my well and chicken coops, he had all the answers for the stuff ive been thinking of for months. Really grateful we found matt and would recommend to anyone read less

In the last twenty years I have had over a dozen home inspections done and this was the most comprehensive and detailed to date. The house was over 50 years old so I wanted to make sure it was in good shape before the purchase. Matt knew the issues that might occur with a house that old. He explained everything to me, took lots of pictures and videos and sent me an extensive report. You would do yourself a favor by contacting Matt when purchasing a home. The price was right as well. He is my choice for any future home inspection work. Jackie read less

Working with New Tide is not just a transaction with a Home Inspector. Matt was responsive, helpful, knowledgable throughout the whole process. He helped us understand what we may want to bring up to the builder and helped us navigate the communications. He worked well with our agent and building superintendent to bring up concerns in a respectful way. The report was very detailed and clear. The builder was able to get started on key action items the next morning! Highly recommend! read less

Matt was also very patient and spent 2 hours on the phone with me going over every detail of his findings in this home inspection report. Even my real estate agents with 20+ years experience had never seen such a detailed in depth homeowners inspection report. In the end, we bought the house because of confidence of the report and willingness of the seller to correct these issues. Thank you Matt!! read less

The time he took to inspect my newly constructed home was beyond my expectations . He was here for two days, because he cares about the people that use his service. The detailed report rivaled any home inspection I have EVER received. Photos, Explanations, Recommendations!!! In a time when North Carolina’s building industry has become overwhelmed with the demand for new homes, it is clear they need quality control Experts ! I wish I sought his guidance while I was building my home from out of state as opposed to after it was completed unsatisfactorily !!! If I could I would rate his business with 10 stars. read less

He was very well equipped to deliver a thorough and educational inspection as well. I'm a first time home buyer and have to say that I am blissfully unaware of a lot of things that I should be on the lookout for. Matt had no issue explaining things to me and letting me know very important things to watch for and sharing contact details for companies that could help with more information as well as links to material to further educate myself.
