Few accomplishments are more exciting than building a new home for your family. The day you take possession of your home is a culmination of many months of waiting and yearning to make memories in your new space. Unfortunately, even in a brand-new house, nothing is ever perfect and completely free of flaws. At Burgess Inspections, Inc., we see firsthand the issues uncovered in new homes, so we’ll explore the necessity of a new construction inspection to protect your investment.
Some homeowners erroneously believe that a newly built home will be perfect and free from problems. In fact, it’s a common misconception that a brand-new home does not require an inspection. However, even brand-new homes can have defects in functionality and craftsmanship, resulting in costly repairs or potential future risks.
The first inspection we offer is a pre-drywall inspection to evaluate your newly constructed home before the drywall is installed. We will assess all electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-ins to ensure they comply with industry standards. At this point, we may discover cracked roof shingles, missing flashings, deck and patio problems, damage to the HVAC system, or electrical and plumbing issues.
The second inspection we offer is a pre-closing inspection once everything is complete and you are ready to move in. We will test all of your systems and appliances and inspect the home’s roof, foundation, and other components. You will receive a detailed report with photos identifying all defects that need to be addressed by the builder before closing. You don’t want to get stuck paying for repairs later on!
A new construction inspection by the experts at Burgess Inspections will help you protect your investment. By catching problems early and addressing them within the builder’s warranty, you can ensure your home is in top condition and remains that way.
