Why New Homes Need Home Inspections

Why New Homes Need Home Inspections

Many homebuyers assume that a newly constructed home doesn’t need an inspection. After all, it’s brand new, right? Unfortunately, that assumption can be costly. Even new builds can have defects due to rushed timelines, subcontractor mistakes, or overlooked details. A professional inspection ensures that your builder has adhered to proper standards and that your dream home is safe and sound.

At AMO Home Inspections, we specialize in New Construction and Phase Inspections, providing a critical review at every stage—foundation, framing, and final walkthrough. Our inspections help identify issues early, allowing builders to address them before they become expensive repairs after closing.

We’ve seen everything from incorrectly wired outlets to improperly installed roofing—even in homes that were just weeks old. When buyers invest in a new construction inspection, they gain peace of mind and leverage to ensure all problems are corrected before move-in.

Municipal inspections do not cover the same depth as a private inspector. City inspectors often focus on code compliance, while our inspections look holistically at the structure, systems, and safety of your entire home.

Don’t rely on appearances or builder promises alone. With over 17 years of experience and a background in electrical work, we know how to spot what others miss. A new home should be perfect—let us help you make sure it is.
