General Home Inspection Questions
What does a home inspection include?
A home inspection is a visual evaluation of accessible components, including the roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and interior and exterior systems. The inspection helps identify visible issues and overall condition.
How long does a home inspection take?
Most inspections take between two and four hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the property.
Will I receive a report after the inspection?
Yes. A detailed inspection report with photos and explanations is provided, typically the same day as the inspection.
Do I need to attend the inspection?
Attendance is optional, but many buyers find it helpful to attend near the end of the inspection to review findings and ask questions.
New Construction Inspection Questions
Do new construction homes need inspections?
Yes. New homes are built by multiple subcontractors and inspections help identify installation issues, omissions, or workmanship concerns during construction and before closing.
What is a new construction inspection?
A new construction inspection is a series of inspections performed at key stages of the build, from the foundation through final completion.
How many inspections are recommended for new construction?
Most buyers choose:
Phase 1: Foundation Inspection
Phase 2: Pre-Drywall / Framing Inspection
Phase 3: Final Inspection Before Closing
1-Year Builder’s Warranty Inspection
Phase-Specific Questions
What is a pre-drywall inspection?
A pre-drywall inspection occurs after framing and rough-in systems are installed but before insulation and drywall. This allows critical components to be reviewed while still visible.
What is the final inspection on a new construction home?
The final inspection is performed when construction is complete and utilities are active, typically just before closing. It evaluates the home as a finished structure.
Does the final inspection replace the builder walkthrough?
No. The builder walkthrough focuses on cosmetic items, while the final inspection provides an independent evaluation of the home’s condition.
Scheduling & Service Area
When should I schedule my inspection?
For resale homes, inspections are scheduled during the inspection contingency period. For new construction, inspections should be scheduled based on the construction phase.
Do you serve areas outside of Nashville?
Yes. Services are provided throughout Nashville, Gallatin, Mt. Juliet, Lebanon, Hendersonville, Clarksville, and surrounding Middle Tennessee communities.
