New Construction

Inspecting new homes is a large and growing segment of the home inspection industry, and for good reason. In spite of County Code Enforcement inspections, deficiencies in new construction are surprisingly frequent. The average Code Enforcement Inspector has far less time to devote to an individual house as a professional Home Inspector does: they do not go on the roof to insure that the shingles and flashing were properly installed, nor do they go into the crawlspace or attic during their final inspection after the house is completed. It's important to note that a home inspection is not a code inspection. Home Inspectors look for construction concerns that do not conform to standard building practices, but will not cite specific code references when problems are found. Here are some pictures of problems that I found on new construction inspections.
