Many things can go wrong during new construction that could go undetected for years. This home inspection takes place before your final walk-through with your builder so that any problem areas can be addressed before you move in. A certified licensed home inspector is the best option for identifying areas of concern.

Typically, a homebuilder will provide a one-year warranty that covers certain work and material defects. A warranty home inspection is usually conducted in the 11th month in order to make sure that your builder or third party home warranty company takes responsibility for addressing the problems before the warranty runs out.

If you are buying a home, a home inspection by a licensed and certified home inspector allows you to learn and address problem areas before making the purchase. If you recently purchased a new home and your one year warranty is about to expire, a professional home inspection lets you know whether there are areas to address before the expiration date. If you are selling a home, our home inspection services help you save time and money by identifying and fixing items before they’re identified by a potential buyer.
There will be potential problems that come up during the home inspection. No home is perfect. Most areas of concern can be corrected with little effort. Some items will be recommendations by the home inspector only and not necessary to correct. The seller of the home is not automatically required to repair any problems that the home inspector finds. As the buyer, you can negotiate for the repairs to be made before you buy the home. If the seller is not willing to do the repairs for you, you will need to make other arrangements or terminate the contract. If you still want to purchase the house but are unable to get the financial lender to approve the loan until the repairs are made, you may have to make the repairs at your own expense.
The home inspection is designed to explain what needs to be repaired on the home. There may be some requirements that the home needs to meet in order for your financial lender to lend you the money for the home. This does not mean that the house has “failed” the home inspection and will not be able to be sold.
A typical home inspection will last from 3-5 hours. Knowing the length of time for an home inspection is important because you usually have to arrange a time with the realtor and the current owner for the home inspector to examine the house. Since a home inspection usually involves looking at plumbing pipes, wiring, roofing, and areas that may be hard to reach, it may require hours to complete. Please contact us for a time estimate for your particular home inspection.
