New construction Inspection:
When
buying a new house everything may not be as it seems. Although the house is
new, it can still have defects and other issues. The combination of a busy
builder and multiple groups of unsupervised sub contractors can often lead
to problems.
It is much easier to fix these issues before you move in. It is always in
your best
interest to have an independent third party perform a final inspection.
