Ensuring Your New Home Meets the Highest Standards

Buying a newly constructed home should give you peace of mind, knowing that everything is brand new and built to last. But even in new homes, mistakes can happen during the construction process, leaving hidden defects that could cost you down the road. At ReliHI, our New Construction Inspections help ensure that your new home not only meets the Standards of Practice of the North Carolina Home Inspector Licensure Board, but is also free from defects, guaranteeing the quality and safety you expect.

    Exterior: Wall cladding, doors, windows, decks, porches, balconies, walkways, driveways, grading, and drainage.

Benefits and Key Considerations

Just because a home is new doesn’t mean it’s perfect. Construction projects involve multiple contractors, vendors, and phases—making it easy for things to slip through the cracks. Our New Construction Inspection provides a detailed, objective evaluation of your new home, helping to:

Identify Construction Defects: Catch issues like poor workmanship, improper installations, or code violations that may not be immediately visible.

Ensure Safety and Compliance: Confirm that your new home adheres to the NC Standards of Practice, ensuring it’s built with safety and quality in mind.

Avoid Costly Future Repairs: Address potential problems before they escalate, saving you from expensive repairs after you’ve moved in.

Confidence in Your Investment: Know that your new home has been thoroughly inspected by certified professionals, so you can move in with peace of mind.

Don’t wait until after you’ve moved in to discover construction defects. A New Construction Inspection from ReliHI gives you the confidence that your home was built right from the ground up. Whether it’s during the final walkthrough or before your builder’s warranty expires, we’re here to ensure your home is everything it should be.
