"I had the pleasure of working with Fred Cotton for a home inspection, and I can't recommend him highly enough! I called Fred on a weekend with an urgent request for an inspection on Sunday, even though I knew it was short notice. Despite having family plans, Fred was incredibly accommodating and rearranged his schedule to make it happen. During the inspection, Fred was thorough and meticulous, checking every single detail of the property. He walked on the roof, crawled through the crawl space, and didn’t miss a single item. His dedication to providing a comprehensive and reliable inspection was truly impressive. At the end of the inspection, Fred provided me with an incredibly detailed report, which was invaluable as a first-time homebuyer. What stood out the most was Fred's professionalism and his genuine kindness. It’s rare to find someone who combines such expertise with a personal, white-glove service.

Home inspections FAQs

The ideal timing for a pre-drywall inspection is after your builder has completed the framing, rough electrical, plumbing, and HVAC installation, but before insulation and drywall installation begins. This critical window allows the inspector to see all the systems that will soon be concealed. Most builders allocate a specific timeframe for this inspection, often just a few days, so communication with your construction team is essential to ensure you don't miss this opportunity.

When an inspection uncovers issues, the inspector will document these concerns in a comprehensive report with specific recommendations. You should promptly share this report with your builder or contractor, who will address the identified problems. Most quality builders welcome this feedback, as correcting issues at this stage is far simpler and more cost-effective than making repairs after walls are finished.

A pre-drywall inspection requires between one and three hours to complete, with the exact duration depending on your home's size and complexity. Smaller properties may only need an hour of inspection time, while larger homes with multiple systems could require several hours for thorough assessment. The inspector will systematically examine all accessible areas, focusing on structural elements and mechanical systems that will soon be hidden from view.

Pre-drywall inspections aren't mandated by building codes or regulations, unlike certain municipal inspections that are legally required during construction. However, many mortgage lenders and warranty providers strongly recommend them for new construction. Even when not required, this inspection represents a valuable investment in your home's long-term quality and can prevent significant expenses down the road by catching issues early.

Using the same inspector for both your pre-drywall and final home inspections offers several advantages. The inspector will already be familiar with your property's construction details and any previously identified concerns. This continuity allows for more efficient follow-up on earlier issues and provides a consistent assessment approach throughout the building process. Many inspection companies offer discounted packages when you book both services together.
