FAQ

What kind of inspection do I need?

There are different types of inspections for different services needed.

• If you are buying a new home, you will need a buyers inspection.
• If you are selling your home and would like to have an inspection performed before listing, you will need a sellers inspection.
• If you are buying a new construction home, one that is currently being built or has never been occupied, you will need a new construction inspection. A phase II inspection is completed prior to the installation of drywall. A phase III inspection is completed prior to closing.
• If you have had a new construction home built in the last 11 months and want to maximize your builder warranty option, you will need a warranty inspection.
• If you have already had your home inspected and work was reported as completed to address raised deficiencies, a reinspection confirms the highlighted issues have been satisfactorily addressed and now meet standards/code.

Under New Home Inspections, I see a phase II and phase III inspection. What about phase I?

Phase I inspections, pre-foundation pour inspections, are generally not recommended due to limited visibility into key structural elements like reinforcement placement and soil compaction once the concrete pour has begun. Critical issues, such as improper soil preparation or reinforcement misplacement, are typically addressed during earlier engineering assessments and geotechnical testing. Adherence to building codes and oversight by licensed engineers often ensures quality without the need for an additional inspection. It’s strongly advised to select a builder who transparently provides documentation of these evaluations and tests, ensuring confidence in the foundational integrity.
