New Home/Builder's Warranty Inspections:
As a result of the tremendous growth in new construction the Southwest Washington area has been experiencing, builders have grown to rely on subcontractors who are constantly looking for qualified labor. Most of these subcontractors are very good and well trained. Sometimes, however, it is possible to have workers who are tired, overworked or not as qualified as they should be. As a result, some new homeowners have found that these subcontractors have forgotten items or failed to complete an area of work. If these items are not documented or caught before the end of their warranty, the homeowner, not the builder is responsible for repairing these items either for their own sake or down the road when they sell the home and the new buyers have it inspected. A warranty inspection Protects the consumer from a major malfunction in their home occurring just after their warranty expires. Also allows the home owner to be aware of what to ask from their home warranty company prior to the expiration date of their policy. Having a New Home Warranty Inspection done can save the homeowner hundreds of not thousands of dollars in costs.

Pre-Listing Home Inspections:
When selling a home there is so much that needs to be done. The last thing most people think about is having their home inspected before it's sold. However to get the top price you want for your home you'll want your home to be in top condition. When you have a pre-listing inspection done, you can show any prospective buyers proof of your home's condition inside and out. It also gives you peace of mind knowing you've decreased the chances of unknown problems that cause a delay in closing or worse, the sale to fall through.
Pre-Sheetrock Inspection
Most builders invite the homeowner to do a walk through after framing, HVAC, and plumbing rough-in, and electrical wiring is complete. This is a good time to look at your outlet locations and window and door placements. Make sure that any changes in the plans have been picked up and made by the sub contractors.
While you check for layout items, your home inspector can look closely at the construction. His report might include: broken plumbing lines, improper flashing, cut or bowed studs, inadequate bracing, beams that over-span their strength, AC ducts that are crushed, etc. These items are easy to correct at this point, before sheetrock and finish materials are installed.
It is not realistic to expect the construction to check out perfectly. Every builder in every price range will have some items to correct, both from the city and the third party inspector. Let your builder know that you will provide him with the report immediately, so that he can address the items before the walls are closed up.
Maintenance Inspections:
It's often been heard, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." By having a maintenance inspection done on your home you can find those small problems before they become big ones. By doing minor repairs now it will save you from the big repair down the road, saving you money. After having an inspection done you'll receive a detailed report giving you a complete "honey to-do" list to keep your house in top condition.
Re-Inspection:
Additional inspection often performed after action, safety, or maintenance issues have been resolved. Also performed just prior to signing the final paperwork of a purchase. Can be added as a part of the final walk-through. Usually done at a highly discounted cost.
