DBC Home Inspections

Dickie Inspections is a full-service home inspection company, locally owned and operated by Richard "Dickie" Garnett. Dickie is a long-time New Hampshire seacoast resident who is familiar with the area and is involved in the community through his past work with town government and historic districts. With over twenty-five years in the building industry and ten years of inspecting homes, Dickie knows the nuts and bolts of home building and renovation. DBC Home Inspections is pleased to service coastal New Hampshire and Maine. We travel to central and southern New Hampshire, the lakes region of New Hampshire, and most of York County, Maine.

We offer general inspection services and can provide radon-in-air testing (NH) and collect water samples for state-certified testing. In addition, we can arrange comprehensive septic inspections, sewer line scoping, or Level II Chimney Inspections upon request. Dickie's journey began at age 8 when he watched home improvement shows on PBS, sparking his passion for construction. He started working in the industry at 16, learning the ropes from framing crews. While at Boston University, he assisted friends in real estate with small projects. After earning his Contractor's License and graduating Cum Laude, he established his contracting company in Massachusetts. Over a decade as a general contractor, Dickie became an EPA Certified Lead Safe Renovator and engaged with local government and historic districts. However, the demands of both building and parenting led him to explore new avenues. In 2013, he transitioned to becoming a State Licensed Home Inspector in NH (#293) and joined the American Society for Home Inspectors (ASHI). Dickie's commitment to education and the industry led him to serve on the board of the Northern New England Chapter of ASHI, where he currently holds the position of Treasurer.

Through this role, he stays informed about home science and building standards, contributing to the growth and excellence of the organization. Dickie's extensive experience and knowledge make him the ideal professional to provide comprehensive home inspections. His passion for educating homebuyers and homeowners about their properties is unmatched. At Dickie Inspections, we pride ourselves on providing detailed, unbiased inspections that empower our clients with the information they need to make informed decisions about their homes. Whether you're buying or selling a property, we're here to help you navigate the process with confidence.
