New home inspection

By
Home Inspector with Coastal Home Inspections

Today I will be discussing the importance of having a new home inspected.  Most people feel that since they are buying a new home that they do not have to have an inspection performed.  Let me be the first to tell you that this is false.  I cannot tell you how many defects that I have found while inspecting new homes.  There have been A/C systems improperly installed, main service panels not installed properly or grounded as well as improperly installed new roofs.  Not only will an inspection make for a very detailed punch list for the builder, it will give you the peace of mind that should come with the largest purchase of your life.

Cody...

I remember once advising a customer to have that New Construction inspected. They didn't listen to me and actually called me thinking I could resolve the plumbing issue they encountered after they moved in. I did help them the best I could but it wasn't until after I said "I told you so" :)
