A lot of people in Houston are out looking to purchase a home, and many will buy a brand-new home this year. When you're buying a brand-new home, the builder isn't necessarily going to be involved to the point where they make sure everything is done properly. Sure, they make sure the crew is instructed correctly, but I would say that about 95% of the time you will get a brand new home that has thousands of dollars worth of deficiencies before you even move in.
These deficiencies tend to show up in the same places. Sometimes there are places where eaves meet that aren't sealed, window lintels are not always installed properly, and appliance codes are always changing.
If you're buying a brand-new home and the appliances aren't installed correctly, you are going to have to make those repairs. If you have an inspection done beforehand, you may be able to avoid paying for the repairs. Having things fixed before you move in ensures you won't have to worry about something going wrong as soon as you move in. In fact, builders often appreciate home inspections so they understand where their crews are messing up.
If you have any questions for us, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to speaking with you!
