New Construction Home Inspections
Ensure Your New Home is Built to Last
Congratulations on your new home! A newly constructed house is an exciting milestone, but even brand-new builds can have hidden issues. Our New Construction Home Inspection service ensures that your dream home meets the highest standards of safety, quality, and craftsmanship before you move in.
-
Why Inspect a New Home?
While builders strive for excellence, construction is a complex process involving multiple contractors, materials, and timelines. Mistakes and oversights can happen. Common issues include:
Structural flaws: Misaligned framing, uneven floors, or foundation cracks.
Electrical concerns: Improperly wired outlets or missing ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs).
Plumbing problems: Leaks, low water pressure, or improperly installed fixtures.
HVAC inefficiencies: Incorrect installation or poor system performance.
Roofing and insulation: Missing shingles, inadequate sealing, or insufficient insulation.
Our detailed inspections help identify these problems early, ensuring that they’re addressed before they become costly repairs.

Even newly built homes can have defects, oversights, or shortcuts. From poor framing to electrical issues or plumbing problems, mistakes can happen at any stage of construction. A professional inspection ensures your home is built safely, up to code, and to the standard you deserve—before you move in.

We offer three types of new construction inspections:
Pre-Drywall Inspection – Performed before insulation and drywall are installed to inspect framing, plumbing, wiring, and HVAC rough-ins.
Final Walkthrough Inspection – Completed before closing to evaluate every system and structure, from roof to foundation.
11-Month Warranty Inspection – For homes under a builder’s 1-year warranty. We identify issues while they're still the builder’s responsibility to fix.

Pre-Drywall: Before drywall installation—usually after framing, rough plumbing, and electrical are complete.
Final Inspection: Ideally a few days before your final walkthrough or closing day.
11-Month Warranty: At 10–11 months after move-in, giving you time to submit repair requests to your builder.
-
Some builders may require specific scheduling or paperwork, but you have the right to hire your own home inspector. We’re experienced in working with builders and can coordinate directly with site supervisors if needed.
-
No. Inspections are typically completed and reported within 24 hours, giving you time to address any issues with your builder before closing.
-
If defects are found, you can request repairs from the builder before closing or before your warranty expires. Our clear, professional report gives you the documentation you need to advocate for proper corrections.
