Professional Home Inspections in Edmonton & St. Albert
- Why Have a Brand-New Home Inspected?
- New Doesn't Always Mean Perfect.
- With so many components and trades involved, deficiencies can occur.
The answer is simple:
New homes are built by people, and people can make mistakes.
A new home goes through numerous stages of construction involving many different trades. Roofing contractors, framers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC contractors, drywall installers, insulators, siding contractors and finish trades all contribute to the finished product.
With so many components and trades involved, deficiencies can occur.
An independent new construction home inspection in Edmonton, St. Albert or Sherwood Park can help identify visible concerns before they become bigger and more expensive problems.
Protect Your New Home Investment
Your new home is a major investment. A professional inspection can provide valuable information about the condition of the property before you take possession.
Our inspection looks at accessible and observable components of the home.
A Builder Walkthrough vs. Independent Inspections
Your builder has its own quality-control and inspection processes. Municipal inspections also address specific requirements under applicable codes and regulations.
An independent home inspection gives you, the homeowner, another perspective.
Our job is not to replace the builder, municipal inspectors or the new-home warranty program. Instead, we provide an independent assessment of the home's visible and accessible components and document conditions that may deserve further attention.
Having another professional look at your new home can provide valuable peace of mind.
Pre-Possession New Home Inspections
One of the best times to have your new home inspected is before possession.
A pre-possession inspection can help identify visible deficiencies or incomplete work before you officially take ownership.
Issues may include things such as:
- Damaged finishes
- Doors or windows that don't operate properly
- Missing or damaged exterior components
- Drainage or grading concerns
- Incomplete workmanship
- Mechanical components that aren't functioning properly
- Missing or incomplete insulation
- Ventilation concerns
- Plumbing deficiencies
- Electrical concerns
- Problems with stairs, guards or railings
- Other visible construction deficiencies
Having these items identified early gives you an opportunity to discuss them with your builder.
