In a new home, the quality of construction is seldom what it used to be years ago. Therefore, many buyers have independent reviews of their properties during various stages of the construction process, including slab, frame, and final inspection.

An inspection of your new home before the builder’s final walk-through or your acceptance best serves you - the buyer, by identifying and correcting deficiencies while the builder is still present and is motivated to transfer ownership of the property.

A professional home inspection is very important, because the purchase of a home or condominium is often the single largest investment you’ll make.

To help you protect your investment, Safe & Sound will provide a comprehensive, visual inspection of your home and its’ major systems. Special attention is given to identifying deficiencies in systems and components that require immediate repair or that need further evaluation.

The report clearly and objectively points out the existing conditions of the property. The expected life of the systems are considered, and you will be counseled by the inspector so funds can be set aside for future upgrades as your property ages.

Whether you are selling your home on your own or listing it with a realtor, it would behoove you to to have a professional home inspection.  Having your home inspected on the front end minimizes last minute surprises and keeps you in the driver's seat. 

The more you know about your home, the more prepared you will be for negotiation. Having "hard" estimates for major repairs prior to accepting a contract allows you to hold on to your equity and not be pressured into a hurried, low-ball price.

When newer homes are resold, an inspection will often reveal deficiencies that existed from the original construction. Unfortunately, many homebuilders are reluctant to correct deficiencies after a 1-year period.

The 11 month warranty inspection is typically one of the last opportunites to present any known deficiencies with your property to your builder before your new construction warranty expires. 

Arming yourself with a comprehensive inspection report will provide you the evidence needed to substantiate your requests.

An inspection is advisable within the first year of ownership, if a private inspection was never conducted when the builder sold the home. An inspection at the 11th month of ownership may find deficiencies that would otherwise go undetected for several years or until the property is resold.

It is best to identify and correct construction deficiencies as early as possible. Construction deficiencies left uncorrected could have adverse consequences that financially impacts ownership, particularly at the time of resale.

Investing in real estate can yield great profits when the right property is chosen. Many multi unit complexes have been rented for years and require extensive repairs.

It would not be wise to make such a large investment without prior knowledge of the age and condition of the systems of the property. Buying the wrong property could be disastrous.

Have Safe & Sound help you make an educated decision with a complete inspection of all the units and their shared roofing, structure, plumbing and electrical.

We will create a detailed report of the defects, enabling you to know what is required to create a safe and habitable living space for your tenants and avoid litigation and liability.
