A Knouff Home Inspections Service
New Construction Inspection
Just because a home is new doesn't mean it's perfect. Crews work fast, subcontractors miss things, and details get covered up before anyone catches them. A New Construction Inspection gives you an independent set of eyes on your home before you sign for it.
I walk the home as your advocate, not the builder's. As a former union carpenter who has worked from rough framing to finish carpentry, I know exactly where corners get cut, and every accessible system is reviewed and translated into a clear, photo-documented report your builder can act on.
What's Included?
Your inspection includes a visible and accessible evaluation of:
• Roof and gutters • Driveways, sidewalks, and site drainage • Foundation and structural components • Attic, insulation, and ventilation • Electrical panel and visible wiring • Plumbing systems and venting • Heating and cooling systems (weather permitting) • Windows, doors, and interior • Built-in appliances (basic functionality check) • Exterior walls, decks, and patios • Fireplace(s) and chimney (visual inspection)
What's Not Included?
New construction inspections do not include:
• Underground utilities • Septic systems or drain fields • Water wells or springs • Solar systems or generators • Security systems • Central vacuum or water softeners • Cosmetic defects or personal property evaluation
You receive a detailed report you can hand to the builder for corrections before closing, so the punch list is theirs to fix, not yours to live with.
