Buying a brand-new home is exciting, but don't make the mistake of assuming "new" means "perfect." Even the best builders can make mistakes, and with today's fast-paced construction schedules, defects can easily be overlooked.
That's why independent new construction inspections are one of the smartest investments you can make.
Phase Inspections
The best time to catch problems is before they're hidden behind drywall. Phase inspections are performed throughout the construction process and may include:
Finding issues early gives your builder the opportunity to correct them before they become expensive or difficult to repair.
Pre-Closing Inspection
Never assume the city's code inspection or the builder's quality control process is enough. Municipal inspectors are primarily checking for minimum code compliance, not the overall quality of your home. Likewise, the builder's inspector ultimately works for the builder—not for you.
Hiring your own independent home inspector means you have someone whose only responsibility is protecting your investment and identifying concerns that deserve attention before you sign the closing documents.
11-Month Warranty Inspection
Most builders provide a one-year warranty. Around the 11-month mark is the perfect time to have your home inspected again.
During this inspection, we look for issues that may have developed after months of living in the home, including:
This inspection gives you a detailed list of items to submit to your builder before your warranty expires, helping ensure they're addressed while they're still covered.
Your home is likely the largest purchase you'll ever make. Spending a small amount on an independent inspection can save you thousands of dollars in future repairs and provide peace of mind.
Don't rely solely on inspections performed for the builder. Choose an independent inspector who works for you—someone who has no interest other than making sure your new home is safe, properly built, and ready for your family.
A new home deserves a fresh start—and that starts with a thorough, independent inspection.
