Why New Homes Need a Thorough Inspection Before Closing
Do you think your new home is flawless just because it’s brand new? Many homebuyers overlook the importance of a professional home inspection, especially when purchasing a newly built property. This photo showcases an issue with the roof of a brand-new home, one that could have easily gone unnoticed. While a new home might seem perfect, it’s crucial to recognize that even newly constructed homes can have hidden problems.
The builder was relieved that we identified this issue early, before the builder's warranty expired. Why is this important? If the roofing contractor is unavailable after the warranty period, the builder would have to cover the repair costs out of pocket. It’s clear: a new home inspection is essential to avoid potential problems and costly repairs.
Why New Homes Still Need Inspections
It’s a common misconception that new homes don’t require inspections. A certified home inspector examines all aspects of your home, from the roof to the foundation, plumbing, and electrical systems. By getting a thorough inspection before closing, you gain valuable negotiating power and can avoid unpleasant surprises down the road.
Home inspectors are trained to spot issues that builders may overlook, and even small problems can escalate quickly if not addressed early on. Identifying issues like roofing flaws or drainage problems at the inspection stage could save you significant repair costs in the future.
