New Construction Inspection

Ensuring the quality and safety of your new construction home is paramount, which is why scheduling a new construction home inspection is essential. These inspections are conducted at three critical junctures: pre-drywall, pre-closing, and during the 11th month before your builder's warranty expires.

Pre-Drywall Inspection:

Before insulation and drywall installation, a pre-drywall inspection is conducted to detect any hidden issues that could become problematic later on. This inspection covers:

  • Structural integrity

  • Roofing components

  • Rough-in installations for heating, cooling, electrical, and plumbing systems

  • Ventilation systems

  • Exterior and interior elements such as framing and openings

Pre-Closing Inspection:

Prior to closing on your new home, a comprehensive inspection is carried out to assess various aspects including:

  • Roof condition

  • Structural soundness

  • Exterior features like walls, windows, and doors

  • Interior elements such as flooring, walls, and fixtures

  • Electrical, plumbing, heating, and cooling systems

  • Insulation and appliances provided by the builder

11th Month Warranty Inspection:

Around the 11th month of occupancy, it's crucial to schedule a warranty inspection to identify any issues covered under the builder's warranty. This inspection may uncover items such as:

  • Roof leaks or damaged tiles

  • Improperly installed garage doors

  • Lack of GFCI protection on outlets

  • Missing attic insulation

  • Issues with flues or chimneys

  • Hot water supply problems

Scheduling this inspection early in the 11th month allows time to address any identified issues with the builder before the warranty expires, saving you potential out-of-pocket expenses.
