Because new homes are different than existing homes, they require a different type of inspection. If you're having a home built, All About U Home Inspections can provide inspections at various stages through the construction process. This will ensure that we have an opportunity to evaluate individual systems when they are visible. Please contact [link to "contact us"] our office for more details on the staged inspections available during the construction of a new home.

If you're buying a new home that has already been completed, we can provide a detailed inspection of the finished product. Because the new home has not been through the test of time, the inspection is more of a predictive than a performance-based evaluation. We rely on current codes and building standards to determine whether things have been done properly.

For new homes, All Abou U Home Inspections can provide an inspection prior to closing and we also recommend an inspection when the home is roughly 11 months old - just before the expiration of the one-year warranty.

This second inspection allows us to evaluate the condition of the home once it has been lived in and has had a chance to perform. There are many issues that arise after a home is occupied and has been through a full year's weather cycle. The first year also provides an opportunity for backfilled ground around the home to settle and for the home to establish equilibrium with respect to moisture.
