Why you should get an inspection on a new home
New construction home inspections can provide assurance that the home has no hidden issues.
11 month home inspections insure issues are fixed prior to warranty expiration.
Pre – purchase inspections allow issues to be identified prior to the close of the sale.
Any causes for concern can be addressed before they result in costly repairs.
Peace of mind.
Buyer’s Inspections
Before purchasing your home this inspection will allow you to find any issues, needed repairs, or causes for concern with the current state of the home. This is the most common inspection and our reports have saved our clients money by bringing issues to light and giving them the information to renegotiate a better price on the property.
11 Month Warranty Inspections
Most New Construction homes will come with a 12 month builders warranty. With our 11 Month Warranty Inspection, we will inspect the homes components that are covered under your warranty to make sure you are able to get any areas of concern addressed before the expiration of that warranty.
New Construction Inspections
Having a complete and comprehensive walkthrough with a home inspector before the completion of a new home is a valuable decision. It is highly advised to invest in this type of inspection while you have the chance. A contractor may not always have your best interest at heart and its best to lean on the guidance and advice of an unbiased professional concerning your new home. This choice provides you with peace of mind and the potential to save you large sums in your future investment.
Termite (WDI/WDO) Inspections
Many buyers are surprised to learn that there is always a risk of termite infestation or damage regardless of the type of structure. This is because every building will have some wooden components that could always potentially be at risk. Even new homes are at risk for this type of damage so make sure to ask if the home has received any type of termite prevention pretreatment or preventative. New homes can be built with termite resistant wood or treated to prevent future infestation and damage.
We are certified by the State of Texas to inspect for WDI (wood destroying insects) and WDI (wood destroying Insects). We inspect for the following:
Termite mud tunnels
Swarming termites (Winged termites)
Carpenter Ants
Powder post beetle
Carpenter Bee activity
