This new construction home looked finished—but the inspection uncovered HVAC problems, damaged siding, roof defects, improper flashing, poor condenser placement, dirty air filters, and other incomplete work.

Join Matt with Texas Edge Home Inspections as he performs a detailed new construction home inspection and explains why a brand-new house should never be assumed to be defect-free. Many of these problems could affect the home’s performance, durability, energy efficiency, and resistance to water intrusion if they aren’t corrected.

If you’re buying a new construction home, having it independently inspected before closing gives you an opportunity to identify defects and incomplete work while the builder can still address them.

Texas Edge Home Inspections serves Greater Houston, including Spring, The Woodlands, Conroe, Tomball, Magnolia, Houston, and surrounding communities.
