New Home Construction Inspections

If you’re in the process of building a new home, you should avoid waiting until the home is finished to have it inspected, otherwise it could lead to very costly and time-consuming repairs. With homes being built in as little as six weeks, the quality of construction is often not what it used to be. It is important for “new build” buyers to have the construction of your home inspected at critical phases, including slab, frame, and final inspection. This relatively inexpensive inspection protects your purchase, prevents unpleasant surprises, and ensures the quality home that you’ve dreamed about.
