Question 1

Can the builder stop me from hiring my own inspector?

Accepted Answer

No. You have every right to hire an independent inspector for a home you're buying. A reputable builder welcomes it; pushback is a reason to be more thorough, not less.

Question 2

When should each inspection be scheduled?

Accepted Answer

The pre-drywall inspection happens after rough-ins but before drywall — your builder can tell you the date, and it moves fast, so book early. The final inspection is right before closing. The warranty inspection should be done around month 11, before your one-year builder warranty expires.

Question 3

Why inspect a home that already passed the county inspection?

Accepted Answer

County inspectors verify minimum code, often in 15 to 30 minutes, and they don't work for you. An independent Certified Master Inspector does a far more thorough review with your interests as the only priority.

Question 4

Do you inspect homes built by Lennar, Pulte, David Weekley, and other Central Florida builders?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we inspect new construction from every builder active in Central Florida, including Lennar, Pulte, David Weekley Homes, LandSea, and Realen Homes.

Question 5

How much does a new construction inspection cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is determined by the square footage of the home  Pricing is transparent and quoted up front, and scales with the size of the home and the phase. Contact us for a fast quote on your specific home.

Question 6

Do I really need an inspection on a brand-new home?

Accepted Answer

Yes. New doesn't mean flawless — homes are built quickly by many different hands, and we find real defects in new builds regularly. An independent inspection is your check that the work was actually done right.

Question 7

What is a pre-drywall inspection?

Accepted Answer

It's an inspection done after the rough-in stage but before insulation and drywall go up, so the framing, wiring, and plumbing can be examined while they're still visible. It's your only chance to see what's about to be sealed inside your walls.

Question 8

When should I get an 11-month inspection?

Accepted Answer

About one month before your builder's one-year warranty expires — usually around month eleven — so any issues can be submitted to the builder while repairs are still covered.

Question 9

What happens if the inspector finds issues?

Accepted Answer

You'll get a detailed report the same day, with photos and a clear description of each item. We'll walk you through what matters most so you can decide what to bring back to the builder before closing, and we're happy to answer questions after you've had time to review it.

Question 10

Is there a discount for booking multiple inspections?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer bundled pricing when you book multiple inspections together (for example, pre-drywall plus final and 11-month), which saves you money compared to booking each one separately. We also offer a pay-at-close option on eligible inspections. You can start scheduling as soon as you're under contract with the builder — the earlier we're on your calendar, the easier it is to line up each inspection with the right stage of construction.
