Pre-drywall Inspections

The best time to find out what's behind your walls!

Why inspect a new home before drywall goes up?

R

Ensure structure is solid

Structural issues could take years to become evident.  Ensure your home starts out on solid footing (pun intended) from day one.
R

Inspect components while visible

Most of the electrical, plumbing, heating, air, and ventilation systems will be hidden by insulation and drywall soon.  Issues that are easy to find now may not be detected until after they cause major damage down the road.
R

Find issues while they are still easy to address

Once the home is complete, addressing a small item can be a large undertaking. Especially if it isn’t found until you’re already living in the home. Save time and money by finding issues up front that the builder fixes at no cost to you.
