New Construction Inspections

Catch Problems Before You Move In

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?

Our new home inspections follow a comprehensive checklist that meets and exceeds Florida’s residential building standards. We inspect:

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/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 rush work

Cosmetic or structural defects

Problems that could void your builder’s warranty if not caught early
