New homes look perfect — but that doesn’t mean they’re problem‑free. Construction moves fast, multiple crews work on different parts of the home, and small mistakes can turn into big issues later. My New Construction Inspection gives you peace of mind by identifying concerns early, explaining everything clearly, and helping you protect your investment from day one.

Why Inspect a Brand‑New Home?
Builders do great work — but no home is perfect. A new construction inspection helps catch issues before they become expensive repairs. It also gives you documentation you can share with your builder to ensure everything is corrected properly.
-
Catch issues before move‑in
-
Identify workmanship defects
-
Verify proper installation of major systems
-
Protect your builder warranty
-
Avoid future repair costs
-
Gain peace of mind before closing
Once you’re settled in, my 11‑Month Warranty Inspection helps you find problems before your builder warranty expires.

Final Walkthrough Inspection:
Right before closing, I inspect the entire home — inside, outside, and underneath — to ensure everything is safe, functional, and built correctly.
11-Month Warranty Inspection:
Before your builder’s warranty expires, I check for settling issues, leaks, HVAC performance, roof concerns, and anything that may have developed since move‑in
