Inspection Types
Some people mistakenly think that they don't need an inspection on a newly constructed home. Nothing could be further from the truth. Builders may hire many subcontractors to do various parts of the construction. They follow one another on the job, and often there is a failure to follow up on the part of a sub-contractor and some things may be "forgotten" or not finished.
Of course, your new home is guaranteed, but only for things you notice! You may not know about many of these types of defects for many years. Be sure to have your "New" Home inspected before you close on it. You'll be glad you did.
