★★★★★
“Highly recommend NITPIK! Tim was thorough and knowledgeable, identifying defects in my home and clearly explaining how they related to the relevant building guidelines. His attention to detail gave me confidence in knowing exactly what needed to be addressed. Excellent service and the next property I'll buy, definitely us this service!”

“Had Nitpik check our new build before handover and it was honestly one of the best decisions we made. They found stuff we never would have spotted in a million years — small paint marks, uneven caulking, a chipped skirting board — and the report came back the same day, fully photographed, which made the whole thing with the builder so easy. Price was upfront, no messing around, and they even came back after to double check everything actually got fixed properly. Such a nice touch! Took so much stress out of the whole handover process. Can't recommend them enough — will absolutely be using them again!”

“Tim was fantastic. I’d been over the house multiple times and was sure I’d covered everything, but he picked up issues I’d completely missed. He was thorough, explained each finding clearly, and gave me real confidence going forward. If you’re building a family home that’s meant to last, get Tim in. Highly recommend!”
