Residential inspection

New Construction Inspections

A new construction inspection is an independent evaluation of a newly built home at key stages — before drywall, before closing, and before the builder’s one-year warranty ends — so defects are documented while the builder is still responsible for them.

Who it’s for

  • Buyers of a home under construction who want framing and rough-ins reviewed before drywall
  • Buyers approaching closing on a newly built home
  • Owners about 11 months into a builder warranty

What we check

Pre-drywall

  • Framing connections, hurricane straps, and connectors
  • Plumbing supply and drain layout
  • Electrical wiring and junction boxes
  • Ductwork routing, wall insulation, and window/door flashing

Final pre-closing & 11-month warranty

  • Same scope as a full home inspection
  • Roof, exterior, grading, and drainage
  • Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC
  • Interior finishes, windows, and doors

What’s not included

  • Visual inspection — it is not a code-compliance inspection and does not replace the building department’s permit inspections
  • It is not a warranty; warranty repairs are between you and the builder

How it works

  1. Schedule each phase online or by call/text — share the builder’s timeline
  2. On-site inspection with photos at the stage you choose
  3. Report typically delivered within 24 hours so you can send items to the builder

What you receive

  • A report with photos for each inspection phase
  • A clear list of items to send to the builder

Pricing

Pricing depends on the property’s size, age, foundation type, and the services you combine. Call, text, or use the online scheduler for a fast, no-obligation instant quote.

Questions about New Construction

Do I need an inspection on a brand-new home?

Yes. Builder warranties only help with defects that are found and reported in time, and the building department’s permit inspections are not an independent inspection for you as the buyer.

When should the pre-drywall inspection happen?

After framing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-ins are in, and before drywall goes up. It is the only time those systems are visible.

When should I schedule the 11-month inspection?

About 30 days before the builder’s one-year warranty ends, so there is time to report findings to the builder.

He was thorough, knowledgeable, and took the time to carefully inspect the home and explain his findings that was easy to understand. What stood out was the personal service he provided.
