New Construction Inspections
Catch Problems Before You Move In
Affordable New Construction Home Inspection Tampa Bay & Central Florida
Think a brand-new home doesn’t need an inspection? Think again. Even newly built homes can have hidden defects, code violations, or rushed workmanship. A new construction inspection ensures your home is completed properly before you sign off and move in. At VALUESHIELD Inspections, we work for you—not the builder—providing a thorough, unbiased evaluation of your home’s quality and compliance.
What’s Included in a New Construction Inspection
- Foundation and grading – proper drainage, cracking, settlement
- Roof and attic – installation quality, ventilation, visible leaks or defects
- Exterior – siding, stucco, windows, doors, flashings, trim
- Interior – drywall, ceilings, floors, trim, cabinets, and finish quality
- Electrical system – panels, wiring, GFCIs, AFCIs, breakers, outlets
- Plumbing – visible leaks, water heater, shut-offs, fixtures, drainage
- HVAC system – cooling and heating performance, ductwork, air handler
- Appliances and built-ins – proper operation and installation
- Windows and doors – alignment, functionality, weather sealing
- Code compliance and safety hazards
This inspection can be performed at various stages (pre-drywall, final walkthrough, or both) and is especially valuable before your final payment or warranty period begins.
Why It Matters
City and county code inspections only verify minimum compliance, and builders often rely on subcontractors with varying quality standards. Our inspection helps catch:
- Poor workmanship or missing components
- Electrical or plumbing issues overlooked during rushed work
- Cosmetic or structural defects
- Problems that could void your builder’s warranty if not caught early
