No, a home inspection is not a pass-or-fail process. Instead, it’s a detailed evaluation of the property’s condition.

Building a home is an exciting journey, but you may be surprised to learn that there are three key inspections you should consider along the way. Each serves an important purpose in ensuring your new home is built to the highest standards.

1. Pre-Drywall Inspection

Before the drywall goes up, it's crucial to have a pre-drywall inspection. At this stage, many structural and mechanical components—such as framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC—are still exposed, making it easier to identify and address potential issues before they’re hidden behind walls. Catching problems early can prevent costly repairs down the road.

2. Final Inspection (Post-Construction)

Even in brand-new homes, defects can range from minor cosmetic flaws to significant structural or mechanical issues. A professional home inspector can provide a detailed assessment, giving you peace of mind before finalizing your purchase.
