Everything You Need to Know About New Construction Home Inspections

If you’re in the market for a new home, it’s essential to have it inspected by a professional. At Step By Step Inspections, we provide comprehensive inspections of all homes, including new construction home inspections. Our highly experienced inspectors take the time to inspect every inch of your new home. New construction home inspections uncover any potential problems with the property and help you avoid costly repairs down the road.

Who Performs New Construction Home Inspections?

Many people think their new construction home requires a third-party inspection. In other words, you may believe that a county inspector or builder inspection is sufficient. However, we recommend third-party new construction home inspections for several reasons.  

Why Is a Third-Party Inspection Important?

First, professional third-party inspectors look for things the builder may not have caught, such as code violations or faulty installation. These inspections typically uncover damaged roof shingles, missing flashings, deck issues, electrical problems, HVAC problems, plumbing issues, and more. A good inspector also inspects less visible home elements, such as the roof and attic.

Another reason to get a third party involved is to protect your investment. Inspecting your new home before you buy it may help you save thousands of dollars in repairs later. If any problems exist, your inspector provides you documentation to use in follow-up discussions with the builder.  These inspections can discover issues and code infractions that would otherwise go undetected. If these problems are not addressed immediately, they might grow into a much larger issue down the road, especially when it comes to selling your property.

Enjoy Peace of Mind With Step By Step Inspections

Finally, an inspection can give you peace of mind. It feels good knowing your new home is sound and ready for you to claim it.
