New Doesn't Mean Flawless

Even brand-new homes can have defects. Construction happens fast, subcontractors change, and municipal inspections only cover code compliance, not quality. A new construction inspection provides an independent evaluation to ensure your new home meets the standards you're paying for.

Why Inspect a New Home?

Independent Eyes

Municipal inspectors focus on code compliance. We focus on quality, workmanship and safety.

Builder Accountability

Document issues while the builder is still responsible for warranty repairs.

Catch Hidden Defects

Find problems that may be covered up by drywall, paint, and finishes.

Protect Your Investment

Ensure you get the quality construction you're paying for.

Common Issues We Find

With experience in construction and contractor work, we know what to look for:

  • Improper grading and drainage around foundation
  • Missing or inadequate insulation
  • HVAC installation and ductwork issues
  • Plumbing leaks and improper connections
  • Electrical deficiencies and safety concerns
  • Roofing installation problems
  • Window and door sealing issues
  • Cosmetic defects and finish quality
  • Garage door safety and operation
  • Appliance installation and operation

Inspection Options

Pre-Drywall Inspection

Performed before drywall is installed, allowing us to see framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work that will soon be hidden. This is the best time to catch structural and mechanical issues.

Final Walk-Through Inspection

Performed before closing, this comprehensive inspection evaluates the finished home and creates a punch list of items for the builder to address before you take ownership.

11-Month Warranty Inspection

Performed before your builder's warranty expires (typically at 12 months), identifying issues that developed after move-in while repairs are still covered.

The Process

  1. Schedule: Coordinate timing with your builder's construction schedule.
  2. Thorough Inspection: We examine all accessible components appropriate to the construction phase.
  3. Detailed Report: Receive a comprehensive report with photos documenting all findings.
  4. Builder Communication: Use the report to request corrections from your builder.
