New Construction Home Inspection in Las Vegas – Why You Still Need One

I recently inspected a brand-new home here in Las Vegas, and you might be surprised at what I found. Even in new construction, issues pop up that are easy to overlook—but could cause headaches down the road.

Here are just a few deficiencies from this inspection:

  • Efflorescence at block fence

  • HVAC Condenser damage

  • Door and window locks not working

  • Cracked window frame

There were also cosmetic concerns and several repairs already flagged by the builder. These issues are typical in new builds and should be easy to address—especially while all the subcontractors are still on-site.

Why hire a home inspector for a new build?
Even with a great builder and attentive superintendent (as my clients had here), it’s smart to have a third-party inspector on your side. I’m here to catch anything that might get missed so you can move in with confidence.

After you’ve settled into your home for a few months, keep an eye out for:

  • Stucco cracks

  • Grout separation

  • Flooring concerns

  • Cabinet alignment issues

  • Windows and doors sticking

I recommend keeping a list of any concerns (Use your phone’s notes app) over the first 6–9 months. When you’re ready for your builder’s warranty inspection, I’d be happy to help! Click Below to schedule your home inspection:
