Maxim Home Inspections is a home inspection business whose website lists a service area that includes Newtown, Danbury, Waterbury and Southbury. A recent customer named Justin as the owner of Maxim. A recent customer said Justin Birtwell spent about 3.5 hours inspecting the home and walked sections of the roof in addition to taking drone footage. That customer paid for radon, termite and septic inspections on top of the base inspection, and said a chimney inspection through Spotless Chimney was included at no additional cost. A recent first-time homebuyer said they spent the whole day at the inspection shadowing and added termite, radon and sewer lateral scoping inspections. A recent customer said the report was ready the same day as promised. A 2026 customer who was buying from overseas said he provided a comprehensive report with photos. A 2025 customer said he was there for about 3 hours, the report arrived the next day, and he would be returning to read the radon test. It holds 5 stars from 31 Google ratings and 5.0 stars from 12 Thumbtack ratings, and the Better Business Bureau grades it A-. Connecticut lists its home inspector licence, HOI.0001439, as active, held by Justin Birtwell.
Justin did a very thorough job with his inspection and quickly provided a very comprehensive and detailed report. I would not hesitate recommending him to anyone looking for a home inspection.
highly recommend this home inspector for his professionalism, attention to detail, and thoroughness. He took the time to carefully inspect the property, identify issues, and provide a clear, detailed report. His knowledge and honest assessment gave me confidence in understanding the condition of the work.
As a first time homebuyer Justin the owner of Maxim was truly a breath of fresh air. We had trialed a different inspector on a different property and were simply unimpressed. When I stumbled upon Justin I had a good gut feeling he was the right choice for the next property we needed an inspection on. My gut was right. From the minute we arrived at our new potential home Justin made it a point to include everyone in the inspection and give a warm briefing and introduction as to how things would go. He was thorough and informative through every minute of the hours spent coming through this home. Every question we asked no matter how large or small he was excited and willing to share his thoughts, knowledge and expertise. He even offers follow up insight, guidance and resources to aid in the future ownership and maintenance of your home. We also felt he was very fairly priced and felt our dollars were well spent in this trying economy. Thanks again Justin, we greatly appreciate your help!! - Antonio and Kaitlyn
