A brand-new home is not automatically a flawless home. An independent final walk-through catches the defects and unfinished work before you sign — while every item is still the builder's responsibility to fix.
A new construction final inspection is a thorough, independent evaluation of your newly built home before you take ownership — a fresh, experienced set of eyes on the finished work before the builder hands over the keys. Rick documents every finding with photos.
The belief is simple: even brand-new homes have defects and unfinished work, and the builder's own walk-through isn't the same as an independent one. Understanding the true condition of the home before closing means issues get corrected while they're still the builder's job — not yours.
As a TREC-licensed Professional Inspector (#25917), Rick gives new-build buyers an honest, plain-language read on their home across Colleyville and North Texas.
A final inspection evaluates the whole home — the same rigor as any buyer's inspection, tuned to new construction.
Roof, attic, structure, and framing visible in the completed home.
All major systems tested for correct, safe, and complete operation.
Walls, floors, trim, doors, windows, and the fit and finish of the build.
Grading, drainage, exterior surfaces, and site work around the home.
As closing approaches, everyone is moving fast — the builder to hand over the keys, you to move in. That pressure is exactly when overlooked defects and unfinished items slip through.
An independent final inspection produces a documented punch list of everything that needs attention, so you can require the builder to correct it before closing — while you still have the leverage of an unsigned contract.
Once you close, those same repairs become your problem to chase. Catching them now is the difference between the builder fixing it and you paying for it.
You receive a detailed, photo-rich report in plain language — a ready-to-hand-over punch list of items for your builder to correct before closing.

Questions after the report? Rick walks you through the findings so you feel confident in your next steps.
Because new construction still has defects and unfinished work — missed items, workmanship issues, and systems that aren't quite right. An independent inspection catches them before closing, while the builder is still responsible for correcting them at no cost to you.
The builder's walk-through is valuable, but it isn't independent. A separate TREC-licensed inspection gives you an unbiased evaluation and a documented punch list, so nothing is glossed over in the rush to close.
Yes — we encourage it. Being on-site lets you see any findings firsthand, ask questions in real time, and understand the home as we go. Combined with the plain-language report, it's one of the best ways to truly understand the property.
You'll receive a detailed, photo-rich report written in plain language — typically within 24 hours. It documents the property's condition clearly so you know what matters, what can wait, and what to prioritize.
