New doesn't always mean perfect. Catch potential major issues early.
A brand-new home doesn't necessarily mean well built. New doesn't even guarantee good. Houses are built by people, and not all houses are built to the same standards. When you buy a new construction home without an inspection, you're placing yourself at the mercy of the people who built it. A new construction inspection allows you to catch construction issues early, before they become major problems down the road.
While there are countless opportunities for mistakes to occur during construction, there are a number of issues that pop up more frequently than others. Here are just a few examples:
More often than not, problems with a new construction occur through circumstance or human error, rather than malicious intent. Not all builders are equal, with varying levels of experience and professionalism. In addition, problems may occur from rushed work in order to meet a tight deadline.
It is not uncommon to find minor issues with a newly constructed home. However, occasionally a brand-new home can turn out to be an absolute nightmare, despite looking perfectly fine on the surface. Some issues, such as leaks or improper grading, may not become apparent until well after the warranty has expired.

(414) 651-1613I'm a first time home buyer & my realtor recommended Kelly. Kelly was fantastic. He communicated time expectations prior to our appointment. When we met he showed me a sample report & how to navigate the various sections. He explained what he would be doing during the inspection. After he completed the inspection, he walked me through the space to point out what he found and why it was an issue. He gave some tips for good maintenance & showed me where to find shut off valves, etc. I received the report later the same day. Kelly was kind, respectful and spoke in layman's terms. I found the inspection to be first rate. I recommend him to anyone and everyone!
I've had two home inspections prior to Kelly, so I can confidently say he's much more thorough, patient, and helpful than the average inspector. 100% would recommend to anyone purchasing a home, even if you're lucky enough to have no major problems and just want to schedule out your to-do list after the purchase. Thank you again!
Andy was very knowledgeable and friendly. He paid a lot of attention to all the details and wanted to make sure everything was checked and reviewed. Very pleased and will recommend to friends.
We had an excellent experience with Extensive Home Inspection. Kelly was punctual and was already inspecting the roof when we arrived. Throughout our inspection, Kelly to breaks to discuss his findings in complete detail. The end report was very thorough and the important items that needed immediate attention were clearly summarized. Thanks to Extensive home inspections, we are not stuck with over 5k in repairs needed. Definitely recommend you call them for your inspection.
Kelly was amazing!! Very responsive and made sure we understood everything! I would highly recommend him!
As a real estate agent, I work with a lot of different inspectors. Kelly is one of my favorites.

Kelly was professional, friendly and made sure that I understood every step of the inspection process. He answered all questions thoroughly and made this component of purchasing a home as painless as possible. He truly went above and beyond. I would never use any other home inspector.
Absolutely phenomenal inspection. Literally saved my life with carbon monoxide testing that a second inspector hadn't even tried. Incredibly thorough and knowledgeable, I won't use another inspector for as long as he is doing business.
Very knowledgeable, let you know exactly what he was looking for and explained things as he went along with inspection.
Kelly was hands down one of the most knowledgeable, thorough and helpful professionals I ever had the pleasure of working with. Not only did we walk through the inspection side by side where he began to educate me on not only issues and potential fixes but, also maintenance and home upkeep. Kelly even took it a step further by giving me the tools and resources to find professionals or DIY. Kelly even offered himself as a lifetime resource. For a first time buyer like myself this was all critical. If your looking for an inspection done properly Kelly is the professional to call.
As first time home buyers, it was crucial that we hired somebody who could explain things at a level that we could easily understand. Kelly was exceptional throughout the entire inspection and took the time to go over details that mattered to the home and to our safety. As a realtor, I will be sure to recommend Kelly to everyone I work with.

Kelly was extremely thorough with his inspection of our new home. As first time home buyers we were nervous about stumbling upon issues after we moved in, but he was able to put our minds at ease. He walked us through each room and the exterior of the house pointing out issues that needed to be fixed right away and issues that we can repair as we have time. He provided us with a well documented final report including pictures of what needs to be repaired so that we have checklist to work off of as we begin projects around the house.
