Brand New Doesn't Always Mean Perfect

Lock In New Construction Home Inspection in Lafayette

You're preparing to close on a brand-new home in Lafayette, and you assume everything is flawless because it's never been lived in. But even the best builders miss details—misaligned windows, incomplete caulking, loose electrical connections, or unfinished grading that pools water near your foundation. Turn Key Home Inspection offers new build inspection services that catch construction oversights before your builder's warranty clock starts ticking.

Our new construction final walkthrough inspection includes evaluation of framing, insulation installation, drywall finish, window and door operation, HVAC startup and airflow, plumbing fixtures and water pressure, electrical panel labeling, grading and drainage around the foundation, and roof flashing. We also provide phase inspection for new homes, allowing you to verify quality at rough-in, insulation, and pre-drywall stages. You'll receive a detailed report with photos and a punch list of items your builder should address before closing day in Lafayette.

Book your home inspection before closing and ensure your builder delivers what you paid for.

How Does New Construction Inspection Work in Lafayette?

Our phase inspection for new homes allows us to evaluate critical components—foundation, framing, plumbing rough-in, electrical wiring, insulation—before they're covered by drywall and finishes. This proactive approach catches problems when they're easiest and least expensive to correct.

The new construction final walkthrough inspection examines completed work, testing all systems, checking finishes, and verifying that punch-list items have been properly addressed. Turn Key Home Inspection reviews everything from roof installation and window flashing to HVAC performance and grading around the foundation.

We document every finding with photographs and detailed descriptions, giving you the evidence you need to request corrections from your builder before closing on your new Lafayette home.

Protect your investment—schedule your pre-closing home inspection in Lafayette now.

A builder warranty inspection is your last chance to document defects while the builder is still financially motivated to fix them, especially in Lafayette's fast-paced construction market where builders juggle multiple projects at once.

What's Included in This Service

When should I schedule a new construction inspection?
Ideally, book your inspection one to two weeks before your scheduled closing date. This gives your builder time to correct any issues without delaying your move-in.
What are the most common issues found in new homes?
You'll often see incomplete caulking around windows, loose handrails, unfinished paint touch-ups, HVAC registers not sealed, and grading that directs water toward the foundation instead of away.
Do new homes really need an inspection if they passed code inspections?
Yes, municipal inspectors verify code compliance at specific stages but don't evaluate finish quality, appliance function, or long-term durability the way a private inspector does.
Can you inspect during construction, not just at the end?
Absolutely. Phase inspections in Lafayette let us check foundation, framing, plumbing rough-in, and electrical before drywall goes up, when repairs are easier and less expensive.
What happens if you find problems?
You'll receive a detailed report to share with your builder. Most builders will correct items on the punch list before closing, and you'll have written documentation if issues arise later.

New construction offers a fresh start, but only when every detail is finished correctly. An independent inspection gives you leverage, documentation, and peace of mind before you sign. Whether you're buying your first home or your fifth in Lafayette, a certified pre-closing review protects your investment and holds your builder accountable. Secure your new build inspection services appointment now and close with confidence.
