Many of the components from a home's system's and structure may be newly assembled, but they may also have been sitting in a lumber yard or warehouse for months. Even the best contractors make mistakes that could compromise the integrity of the job they do. New construction inspections are specifically designed for homes that have never been occupied.

- Roof Inspection -The roof is your home's first line of defense against mother nature. Rain, wind, and heat will inevitable cause a roof system to fail thereby allowing the elements to penetrate a home's interior spaces. When moisture breaches a roof's protection, then mold can eventually take hold. Mold spreads, and it does so with amazing speed. As it grows, it releases spores into the air which can cause respiratory issues and allergy like symptoms. Mold also causes physical damage to a home that can can cost thousands of dollars to repair. We have expertise on all roof types and material. Please note that inclement weather may affect the scheduling of your roof inspection.
- Prelisting (seller) Inspection - Initated by the property owner prior to listing the property. It helps the seller to determine what systems and structures of the property need repair. More importantly, it helps the seller and the seller's agent to accurately represent the home by disclosing damage to prospective buyers. Damage discovered as a result of a seller's inspection can either be repaired by the seller (to maintain market value) or used as a negotiating tool by both seller and buyer. Being used more and more, a seller's inspection is helping to expediate the sales process. When sellers can show what damage an inspector found, and how that damage was fixed, the buyer's confidence may increases enough to move the transaction forward. It is recommended that the buyer always hire their own inspector to perform a new inspection.
- Warranty Inspection - Home builders often initiate a "warranty" on a house for a period of one year or longer which is designed to cover the costs to repair systems and structural-related problems during the warranty period. A warranty inspection should be performed prior to the expiration of the home warranty contract so that you can address repairable issues with the builder while the warranty is in-force. Otherwise, you may be fully liable for the repair costs on your own should you allow the warranty to expire prior to discovering defects. Warranty inspections allow you to take full-advantage of the warranty's benefits which can save you from paying out-of-pocket for repairs that may otherwise have been the fault of the builder or OEM manufacturer. You've heard it before: "It broke just as soon as the warranty expired!" If anything, a Warranty Inspection holds builders, installers, suppliers, and manufacturers liable for their work and products. The few-hundred dollars you pay for a warranty inspection could very-well save you from having to hand-over thousands (or tens-of-thousands) of dollars for future repairs and new systems that were damaged before the warranty expiration.
