New Build Home Inspections in East Texas

A brand-new home can still have problems. Busy crews, tight schedules and dozens of subcontractors mean things get missed: insulation left out of a corner, a loose plumbing fitting, flashing installed backwards. Today I’m proud to offer new build home inspections across East Texas, so you can catch those issues before you close.

City inspections check that the home meets minimum code. My job is to look at the quality of the work and give you a punch list with photos to hand your builder while they still have crews on site.

New Build Home Inspections FAQs

Why do I need an inspection on a brand-new home?

New homes pass city inspections, but those check minimum code, not workmanship. An independent inspection catches the details that get missed.

When should I schedule it?

Before your final walkthrough with the builder, so you can bring the report with you.

What happens after I move in?

Schedule an 11-month warranty inspection before your builder’s one-year warranty ends. You can also learn about your rights as a new home buyer from the Texas Attorney General.
