You might assume that a home inspection isn’t needed if you had the house built from scratch and to your exact needs. A home inspection can provide key insights into the home’s construction, as well as a chance to prevent costly repairs later on. Even new houses have flaws. In some cases, contractors work fast — too fast. Sometimes they’re building to the bare minimum of code. And frequently, they’re subcontracting out projects to a wide array of vendors, whose competence and diligence might range significantly. On top of all that, sometimes mistakes just plain happen. Some common problems found during New Construction home inspections include structural defects like foundation cracks, faulty grading, improper roof installation, and poor framing. Once the flooring, drywall, exterior wall covering, and roof systems are in place, these hidden components will be very difficult, if not impossible to inspect with out major work to uncover. For these reasons, we highly recommend having Infinity Home Inspections do your construction inspection.
