New Construction Final Inspections: Why You Still Need One Before Moving In
Even in brand-new South Florida homes, hidden issues can crop up during the final stages of construction. If you’re a first-time buyer, relocating from another state, or investing in new construction, scheduling a final inspection just before move-in is a smart move.
A final inspection focuses on the completed home—everything from the roofing, siding, and windows to plumbing fixtures, electrical outlets, and HVAC performance. Here’s what we cover:
Structural & Exterior Checks: Ensure doors and windows operate smoothly, siding is properly sealed, and roofing looks solid against hurricane-force winds.
Interior Finishes: Verify that flooring, cabinetry, countertops, and trim are installed correctly and free of defects.
Systems Testing: Run your plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems under real-world conditions to catch leaks, faulty wiring, or airflow issues.
Safety Features: Confirm that smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and GFCI outlets near water sources are up to code.
Even though builders perform their own walk-throughs, an independent final inspection provides peace of mind—and documentation you can share with your insurance company. For sellers in new developments, having a clean report boosts buyer confidence. For condo downsizers, it ensures your unit meets association standards. And if you’re a homeowner reviewing insurance requirements, this report can help satisfy your provider’s criteria.
