New Build Home Inspections/Pre drywall/1 year Warranty Inspections
Inspection
Pre Drywall
It’s very important to have the home looked over before the walls are insulated and drywalled. There are times when multiple issues can be addressed at this time. This is what is referred to as the "blacked in stage." Typically all framing, electrical, plumbing and HVAC is roughed in.
Inspection
Pre Walk through
The home is just about completed at this stage. The appliances should be installed and pretested at this stage. Only Minor touch ups should be addressed at this point. It is very important to have a thorough inspection at this point before you move into your new home. One important part of this area should be to test for radon and check the sewer line.
1 Year Builder Warranty
Warranty
Typically, at this stage of the home buying process you may have a laundry list of repairs documented. It is very important to have these issues documented by a third party inspector which can help expedited the repair issues sometimes.
