New Construction Inspections

Brand-new doesn't mean defect-free. An independent inspection catches problems while the builder is still responsible.

An Independent Set of Eyes on Your New Home

A new construction inspection is a full home inspection of a newly built home before you close. It's completely independent of the builder, so its only job is to protect you.

Tampa Bay is full of new communities, from Wesley Chapel and Riverview to Apollo Beach and Plant City. Homes are built fast, by many trades, and even good builders miss things. Finding them before closing means they go on the builder's punch list — not your repair list.

Builder Walkthroughs Aren't Independent

A builder's final walkthrough is led by the builder's own team. An independent inspection looks at the home with no stake in the outcome, including the attic, roof, and systems buyers rarely see.

Clients are often surprised by what turns up in a brand-new home. As one put it, you'd think everything would be built to code, but the reality can be different.

A Full Inspection of Your New Home

Every new construction inspection covers the full home.

  • Roof covering, flashing & drainage
  • Exterior, grading & driveways
  • Structure & foundation
  • Attic, insulation & ventilation
  • Electrical panel, wiring & outlets
  • Plumbing, fixtures & water heater
  • Heating & air conditioning
  • Windows, doors & interior
  • Built-in appliances
  • Report with photos the same day

New Construction Inspections FAQ

Do I need an inspection on a brand-new home?

Yes. New homes regularly have defects, and the builder's walkthrough isn't independent.

When should it happen?

Before closing or your final walkthrough.

What about inspections during construction?

We offer phase inspections at the foundation, pre-drywall, and final stages.

What about after I move in?

An 11-month warranty inspection documents problems before your first-year coverage ends.
