When buying a new home the construction company normally has a warranty. The warranty on new homes normally expires one year after you purchase your new home.
With our New Home Construction Inspections and the New Home Warranty inspections, we conduct your initial Home Inspection before you move in and then re-inspect your home for issues that might have arisen in the last 11 months and before your warranty expires.
Our experienced home inspectors will do a visual inspection of the components and the critical areas in your new home and email you with a comprehensive, easy to read, 50 page report. This report will be given to you at the completion of the inspection.

Testimonials
Lynn
Bob,
I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the time you took to explain everything to me, the helpful hints, and suggestions you gave me, as well as the wealth of resources you supplied! I learned a ton about houses in general but of course most importantly about the home I purchased. It’s obvious you know your stuff so clearly you are well qualified to perform home inspections but you personalized and customized the information in such a fashion that even a rookie like me could understand it! I appreciate the time and patience you shared with me, and the level of detail you went into.
I am so glad you were available to work with me given that I was doing this on my own. If I hear of anyone seeking a home inspection, I will tell them YOU are the BEST!!! You are very good at what you do and I got the feeling you enjoy your work. (When that is the case, you know you are getting that person’s best effort!)
Thanks again for all your help! You did a wonderful job and it was a pleasure to meet you!

Bob,
Thanks much for inspecting my new condo. Knowing you have inspected it puts my mind to rest. I just would NOT have trusted anyone else!
Gayle G.
Bob,
Thank you, thank you for a great house inspection experience! You gave me information about the house's background, prior experiences, and future needs. Your down-to-earth presentation style made me feel very comfortable and because of your very specific and easy to understand advice, I feel up to the challenge of carrying out your preventative maintenance suggestions. I would welcome the opportunity to work with you again and won't hesitate to recommend your service to my friends.
Don and Carol S.

Thanks so much for all you did... Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Bob,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for performing the inspection on our building. Both the Board of Directors of the Association and the homeowners themselves were very impressed with the detailed report, pictures, and CD that you provided to us for review upon completion. They were an excellent resource for us to utilize in creating a timeline in maintaining/repairing our building.
We were also impressed with your professionalism, expertise, and willingness to answer any questions before, during and after the inspection. I would definitely recommend your services to anyone who is purchasing a home, or, like our association, is interested in establishing a timeline for maintenance and/or. repairs. Again, thank you for your time and services.

Thanks for doing a great job...she was soooo nervous about buying a house! She came into the office to give me the report and said, "Now I'm excited." You alleviated her fears.

Laurie H.
Bob,
I truly appreciate your professional opinion, and the thoroughness of your inspection at my "new" house. Should anyone ever ask about who to recommend for a home inspection, know that you are #1. I also mentioned to Jenny L. that she couldn't be working with a better home inspector. My first plan of attack once I sign on the dotted line will be to contact someone to address the chimney flashing. Take care.
Erin H.
Bob,
I was quite pleased with the thoroughness and zeal you display in your work.
