  • Construction Inspections – for New Home Buyers

    Think you don’t need your new home inspected during and after construction because the city inspector will catch any flaws?

    Think again…New homes need to be inspected too!

    Many defects can affect your family’s health and safety, not to mention your pocketbook and the long term condition of your home.  By hiring Homewerx to inspect your new home during its construction, you are sending a message to your builder that you expect quality workmanship and intend to hold them to the highest standards possible.  Having an inspection during the construction of your new home also allows us to inspect inside the walls and other areas that can’t be seen in a finished house.  Therefore, the Inspector can make sure important items, like the stem wall, are constructed properly.

    City inspectors look mainly for code violations.  And most people would be AMAZED at some of the defects our inspectors have found that apparently slipped by the city inspector!

    Depending on how far along construction is when you call us, we will perform 3 separate inspections while your house is being built.  Of course, Clients are always welcome to call their Inspector at any phase of the construction to discuss whatever concerns they may have.

    Stem Wall Inspection – takes place upon completion of the stem wall, preferably before the underground plumbing is buried

    Frame Inspection – takes place just before the drywall and insulation are installed

    Final Inspection – takes place when construction is complete and utilities are turned on (just prior to the final walk-through)

  • Pre-Purchase Inspection – for the Buyer

    In most cases, buying a home is the biggest financial transaction one ever makes.  Therefore, it only makes sense to know as much as possible about a property before closing.

    For the buyer, a home inspection is an opportunity to discover the true condition of the property, before you own it!  A good inspector can save you from making a costly mistake, or can help give you confidence in the decision to invest.  With an idea of what problems may arise and when they may present themselves, the buyer can plan for the future.  In addition to the general condition of the property, safety concerns will also be addressed. Safety is of the utmost importance to many families and a home inspection can reveal potentially dangerous situations. 

    Even if a home looks like it’s in good shape, there are often hidden problems – possibly expensive ones.  Even most new homes have several defects, and sometimes important components such as the roof or air conditioner are installed improperly or incompletely.

    Knowledge is power!  Schedule a Pre-Purchase Inspection today!
