3 Things Buyer's of
Newly Constructed Homes Need to Know BEFORE their Builder's Warranty Expires!
Over the last several years I've heard Buyers of New Home Construction repeat the same
three reasons over and over again as to why they didn't get a Home Inspection and the
truth of the matter is they were mistaken. Here's what they think:
Reason #1: I Trust My Builder!
The reality today is that most home builders don't even have tools and equipment. The fact
is most new home builders are financiers and occasionally job site managers. Who actually
builds your new home are the sub-contractors that the builder hires to do the work. So
whether your new home is built correctly and complies with the current building code
strictly depends on the knowledge and skill of the sub-contractors. And speaking candidly,
the quality of the sub-contractors varies greatly. And most sub-contractors are unlicensed
and unregulated, so who's looking over their shoulder?
Reason #2: The House Is New What Could Be Wrong?
Even though all of the parts of the house you come in contact with each and every day
appear fine, there's a lot more to your house than meets the layman's eye.
Here's the real issue; were the mechanical and structural components of the house put
together properly. And truthfully, most homeowners don't have the knowledge or skill to
judge that aspect of a new home. So here's what happens in many cases. You go to sell your
new home sometime in the future. The buyer hires a home inspector to evaluate the property
for them. And low and behold the buyer's home inspector finds lots of things that were
done improperly by the sub-contractors and now the buyer wants you to make the necessary
repairs. So I'll ask you again, why should you pay for someone else's mistakes?
Reason # 3: The Municipal Building Inspector Inspected The Home!
Here is a True Consumer Safeguard that has sadly gone bad! Because of the housing boom
over the last few years many Municipal Building Inspectors are forced to conduct 20 to 30
inspections a day. These inspections have been reduced from quality checks to "drive
by" glances.
One of the other things many Municipalities have done to keep their costs down is to let
the new home builders opt out of the Municipal Inspection Program and hire private home
inspectors for their building code compliance exams. Now, do you think there is a built in
conflict of interest when the person building the house pays "his own inspector"
to pass his work?
So here's the long and short of the matter: You Need An Independent Evaluation Of The
Property By Your Professional Home Inspector To Protect Your Interests!
So give ARCO Home Inspection Services a call today and we will evaluate your home from the
foundation to the roof and all visible areas in between and if warranted produce a list of
issues that you can give to your Builder so that he can make the repairs and you won't get
stuck holding the bag for future repairs.
More and more home buyers and sellers are choosing ARCO Home Inspection Services because
the quality of our inspection gave them Peace of Mind.
