Just because a home is brand new doesn’t mean it’s perfect. In fact, we’ve found more problems in certain new builds than in 30-year-old houses. Our new construction home inspections in Boulder catch shortcuts, oversights, and safety concerns—before closing, or while your builder is still on the hook to fix them.
From pre-drywall framing checks in Gunbarrel to final walkthroughs in Wonderland Lake, we make sure every outlet, joint, and system is built the way it’s supposed to be—not just how it looks on the surface.
Types of New Construction Inspections We Offer
- Pre-Drywall: Done after framing, before insulation and drywall. Great for verifying structure, wiring, and HVAC layout.
- Final Walkthrough: Completed just before closing. We act as your punch list partner and flag both cosmetic and code issues.
- 11-Month Warranty: Right before your builder warranty expires. Helps identify settling cracks, grout problems, and HVAC inefficiencies.
Why Builders Miss Things (and Why We Don’t)
Even the best builders rely on dozens of subcontractors and quick municipal inspections. That means things slip through. Here’s how we bridge the gap:
| Builder Oversight | Our Inspection Focus |
|---|---|
| Rushed subcontractors | Proper installation of plumbing, electrical, and insulation |
| Multiple crews working over months | Continuity and quality across phases |
| Assuming city inspection is enough | We check code and craftsmanship details |
