Northwoods Property Inspections knows that a home inspection is a vital part of a home purchase. We believe that home inspections can continue during the COVID-19 outbreak when prudent safety precautions are practiced, and when performing the inspection does not conflict with government orders and recommendations.
We are still performing home inspections for our clients, however, we are enacting precautions to do our part in the fight against the COVID-19 Coronavirus spread. We want to protect our clients, realtor partners, home owners, tenants, and our inspectors.
Let’s all do our part, protect ourselves and our loved ones. Please call us if you have any questions or concerns. 715-934-9105
