The importance of inspecting new construction homes can’t be overstated. While new builds often appear flawless, some defects may not be visible or accessible during a typical walk-through. As a Certified Master Inspector, I help dispel the myth that new homes are problem-free. My inspections follow the Texas Real Estate Commission’s Standards of Practice and are designed to evaluate the home’s major systems and components. This process helps you make informed decisions, protect your investment, and ensure your home aligns with today’s safety and quality expectations. By timing inspections strategically—before closing or before your builder’s warranty expires—you gain an extra layer of protection and reduce the risk of costly surprises down the road.

🔍 New Home Inspection (Pre-Closing)

Purchasing a new home is exciting, but it’s also one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. Whether you're preparing to close on new construction or nearing the end of your builder’s warranty, a professional home inspection is essential to protect your interests. As a Certified Master Inspector serving Austin, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, and surrounding Central Texas communities, I provide detailed documentation based on observable conditions and current building practices—giving you the clarity needed to communicate with your builder.

Before finalizing your purchase of a newly built home, a meticulous inspection is crucial. Here’s why:

  • Identify construction concerns early: Even new homes can have issues that aren’t addressed during standard walk-throughs. My inspection process may reveal conditions that warrant further evaluation or correction.

  • Buyer leverage: A clear inspection report gives you the documentation needed to request repairs or negotiate credits before closi

  • TREC Standards of Practice: Every inspection follows the Texas Real Estate Commission’s guidelines for consistency, reliability, and scope.

  • Client participation encouraged: You’re welcome to attend the inspection, ask questions, and learn about your home’s systems and maintenance needs.

  • A pre-closing inspection helps ensure your new home meets expectations and complies with Texas building standards—without assuming visibility into areas that are concealed or inaccessible.

🧾 Builder Warranty Inspection (Pre-Expiration)

Your builder’s warranty offers valuable protection—but it doesn’t last forever. Around 10–11 months after closing, a comprehensive warranty inspection is highly recommended.

  • Document conditions before coverage ends: I identify observable issues or missed repairs so you can address them while your warranty is still active.

  • Hold builders accountable: My report provides the evidence needed to request corrections and ensure your builder honors their commitments.

  • Peace of mind for the future: Proactive inspections help reduce the risk of out-of-pocket expenses for repairs that should be covered under warranty.

This inspection is based on what’s visible and accessible at the time of service. It’s not invasive or predictive—but it’s a powerful tool for protecting yough, standards-based, and designed to give you confidence in your new home—without overstating what can be seen or guaranteed.

Don’t delay—schedule your home inspection today and take the first step toward peace of mind and long-term confidence.
