TREC Homeowners one-year warranty inspection
When you buy a new home in Texas, your builder offers you a one year warranty on all defects. Evey new home should undergo a one-year warranty inspection at the eleven month from closing on your home. This gives the builder time to warranty repair discovered defects and punch items before your warranty expires. After that, you are on your own. This service follows the same protocol as the new constuction description above and can be schedule through this website by clicking on the red "Schedule inspection" button above.

Construction Frame-Group inspection
When building a home, the frame-group inspection is an opporunity to verify proper construction before insulation, siding and drywall are installed. Once this happens, everything is covered up. This service is primarily a performance evaluation of the project at this stage and inculdes the structual, electrical rough-in, plumbing rough-in and mechanical rough-in aspects. This report will give your builder an opportunity to correct these deficiencies and make right the building before proceeding to the next stage. Yes, your builder will often have their own third-party inspector once--over the property and if you are within a city jurisdiction, the city building inspectors, under the permit process, will enforce building code issues. However, our reports consistently identify defects missed by both.
