No, a home inspection is not a pass-or-fail process. Instead, it’s a detailed evaluation of the property’s condition. Your report will list deficiencies and recommendations to help you make informed decisions. Every home has its share of issues, but the inspection empowers you with the information needed to negotiate repairs or proceed confidently with your purchase.

Building a home is an exciting journey, but you may be surprised to learn that there are three key inspections you should consider along the way. Each serves an important purpose in ensuring your new home is built to the highest standards.

1. Pre-Drywall Inspection

Before the drywall goes up, it's crucial to have a pre-drywall inspection. At this stage, many structural and mechanical components—such as framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC—are still exposed, making it easier to identify and address potential issues before they’re hidden behind walls. Catching problems early can prevent costly repairs down the road.

2. Final Inspection (Post-Construction)

Once construction is complete and you’ve had your final walkthrough (often called a ‘blue tape’ walkthrough), it’s time for a comprehensive home inspection. Even in brand-new homes, defects can range from minor cosmetic flaws to significant structural or mechanical issues. A professional home inspector can provide a detailed assessment, giving you peace of mind before finalizing your purchase.

3. 11th-Month Builder’s Warranty Inspection

Most builders offer a one-year warranty on new homes, which is why an 11th-month inspection is highly recommended. Before your warranty expires, an inspector can evaluate your home for any developing issues—many of which may not have been noticeable when you first moved in. This inspection gives you a documented report to present to your builder, ensuring any necessary repairs are addressed while still under warranty.

Each of these inspections plays a critical role in protecting your investment and ensuring your new home meets expectations.

Although you are not required to attend the home inspection, it is strongly recommended that you do. This is your opportunity to see the home through the eyes of a trained professional. 

The post-inspection briefing we provide you and your agent is a great opportunity to learn more about the property you are interested in and to ask any questions you may have. Plus, the inspector will be able to point out any potential problems that you may not have noticed.

If you are unable to attend, your inspector is available to discuss their findings with you over the phone prior to or after receiving your report.
