We hired Oaktree Home Inspections to be the private inspection company for our new home at Willows 124 in Redmond, WA (new build construction). The inspection took place on Friday, July 18th, 2025, at 2pm; we had actually booked them frantically on that Monday July 14th, 2025, because the original inspection we wanted to book did not meet the minimum liability requirements of the builders ($1M). Thankfully, Oaktree was able to accommodate our same-week request since this was something we really needed to gain peace of mind.

On the day of, Cody was extremely professional, courteous, and helpful in explaining what he was doing, and what he was examining.
When he showed up, he started off by using a drone to check out the roof, and took a long-form video, which he shared with us via an unlisted YouTube link on our final report (which was through Spectora - IYKYK).
Cody checked all of the electrical outlets, noted down discrepancies, and even had a ladder to get into the attic to check the amount of fiberglass / insulation. He was extremely detail-oriented and thorough in his inspection, which I was very happy to see.
The price was also very reasonable - $550 for our new build townhome (zoned as a condominium), and the inspection overall took just under 3 hours. Before he left (we would get the report the day after the inspection), he went through his overall findings via iPad with the missus and I. He also gave us a heads-up on what to expect for next steps, and followed through effectively.
We haven't needed to contact him about anything on the report, and the builders' addressed (almost) everything on the inspection report that was mentioned.
Great work, Cody! read more
