New Home Inspections From the Inside to Out
Building a new home is a tremendously complex endeavor. It involves many people, many trades, and many skill sets. Each work on different parts and systems of the house, often at different times. Even for the best builders, it is nearly impossible to complete this process without missing something. Sometimes it's a plumbing fixture that didn't get tested for leaks, maybe it is a light switch that isn't working, or any one of dozens of minor problems that can easily be overlooked in such a major project.
A New Construction Home Inspection will find the issues and the things missed by the builders. We will review them with you and document them in a report you can use with your punch list for the builder, to help you have everything corrected before you sign off and take delivery.
For the small cost, a New Construction Home Inspection of your new dream home can pay big dividends in peace of mind and getting any issues identified and corrected before they can become an unpleasant surprise.
