About Maxim Home Inspections
Hi, I’m Justin Birtwell, owner and sole inspector at Maxim Home Inspections in Connecticut.
My background is a little different: I grew up managing commercial properties with my dad, earned a civil engineering degree, designed subdivisions and commercial sites, then spent years renovating and managing investment properties myself. I’ve replaced rotted floors at 2 a.m. and learned every expensive shortcut the hard way.
That rare mix—engineering training, hands-on rehab experience, and property-owner perspective—now drives every inspection I perform.
Credentials:
-
CT-licensed Home Inspector
-
InterNACHI & CAHI member
-
FAA-licensed drone pilot
-
Certified thermographer
-
Spark-certified solar PV inspector (one of only a handful in the state who can properly evaluate residential solar systems)
What you actually get:
-
Drone roof inspections (no ladders, no excuses)
-
Thermal imaging to find hidden leaks and insulation issues
-
Detailed, same-day or 24-hour reports that agents say lead to the fastest, toughest negotiations they’ve ever seen
I still answer my own phone, work evenings and weekends, and treat every home like it’s my own money on the line.
My promise: I’ll find what others miss, explain it clearly, and give you the facts you need to negotiate hard—or walk away with zero regrets.
An ounce of inspection is worth a pound of negotiation. That’s my Maxim.
Ready to make your next house the best investment you’ve ever made (not the most expensive lesson)? Let’s talk.
