Let's face it not all Houston home builders are created equally, some are great Houston builders, others are not. We one
year builder's inspection that is comprehensive, detailed, impartial and is similar to the Phase Three – Final Home
Inspection. The advantage of this inspection allows the home owner to have all issues that have occurred during the first
builder before your one-year Houston builder's warranty expires. This will allow you to ensure that the builder has addressed
the home issues in a complete and timely manner.
How to get the most from your home inspection?
Tips to help us perform the most through inspection to allow you the most benefit from your inspection.
1. If the home is occupied, please inform your Realtor and the seller as to what time we will be at the home. Please plan on
spending a minimum of 3 hours (depending on size of the property) at the home for the inspection.
2. If you do not have access to the home, please arrange for the home owner, seller or Realtor to meet us to provide access.
3. All utilities should be turned on. This includes gas, water, and electric. If one of these systems is off, we cannot check the
system and all related equipment. The inspector does not turn on or off main breakers, water or gas shut off values.
4. Pets should be restricted to a kennel or one small area. It is often good to give them a “Pets day out” during the
inspection. Leashed animals can sometimes prevent us from inspecting certain areas. Loose animals can escape through
access doors or windows.
5. On homes with zero lot lines, a signed permission slip from the neighbor will be needed so we gain access and inspect
you adjoining property.
6. If the Houston area home has an attic access door, it should be able to be opened. Stored items in the attic should not be
in a manner that they hinder or limit access to all areas of the attic, especially around the mechanical equipment and roof
edges.
7. Main electrical service panels should be unobstructed.
8. Any decorative items on the hearth of the fireplace should be removed.
9. We will be unable to inspect any areas blocked or covered by storage items, decorations, or personal items.
10. All doors should be unlocked or keys for those doors made available to us during the inspection, we will be unable to
inspect areas behind locked doors.
11. On preexisting homes, please bring a copy of the disclosure statement. It is helpful to know how long sellers have lived
at the home. If they had an inspection within the last 4 years, it is often disclosed on line 6 of the disclosure statement. Ask
for a copy of the report.
12. Please ask for all invoices, warranties and related paperwork on repairs that have been performed on the home. Please
provide this information during the inspection.
