Three visits that protect a new house

Municipal inspections confirm minimum code at specific stages. They are not a substitute for an independent review of workmanship. Our pre-drywall visit looks at framing, flashing details, window installation, and mechanical rough-ins while they are still visible. The pre-closing visit checks finishes, grading, appliance operation, and whether punch-list items were actually completed. The 11-month visit looks for settlement cracks, drainage that failed its first winter, and equipment that never performed as specified.

Builders vary in how they receive third-party comments. We write factual, photo-supported notes. You decide what to place on the official punch list. We do not stop a closing and we do not represent the builder.
