You’ve just walked into your brand-new home—fresh paint, shiny countertops, and the scent of “new” in the air. It’s easy to assume everything is flawless, right? Not so fast. Even new construction homes can have hidden issues, from rushed framing jobs to miswired electrical outlets. At Valley Building Inspections, we believe a new beginning should start with peace of mind, not surprise repairs. Here’s why you shouldn’t skip the new build inspections.
Why New Homes Still Need Inspections
It might seem counterintuitive to inspect something that’s just been built, but that’s exactly the reason to do it. New construction homes go up fast, often with multiple subcontractors involved. Sometimes, corners are unintentionally cut, or simple human errors are overlooked. A thorough inspection catches problems before they become costly. Whether it’s an HVAC system that isn’t calibrated properly or a foundation crack that needs sealing, catching these early means quicker, less expensive fixes, usually covered under builder warranties.
What We Look For in New Construction Inspections
At Valley Building Inspections, our trained experts perform comprehensive evaluations that go beyond the basics. We assess major systems like electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, insulation, and structural elements. We’re not just checking for compliance—we’re checking for quality. Even the most reputable builders appreciate a second set of eyes. Our inspection reports give you the leverage to request repairs and ensure your home is move-in ready, without the stress.
Inspections at Every Stage
For those building a home from the ground up, we offer phase inspections at key construction milestones. These include:
- Pre-Pour/Foundation Inspection

- Final Walkthrough Inspection
Each phase gives you a detailed understanding of how your home is being built—and a chance to correct issues before they’re hidden behind walls or concrete.
