Buying a brand-new home is exciting—but many buyers are surprised to learn that new construction homes still need a professional home inspection. Even newly built homes can have defects, code issues, or incomplete work that may not be obvious during a walkthrough.
At Sonic Home Inspections, we regularly perform new construction home inspections throughout Westchester County NY, Putnam County NY, and Fairfield County CT to help buyers protect their investment before closing.
A new construction home inspection is a detailed, independent evaluation of a newly built home—typically performed before final walkthrough or closing.
Even though the home is new, issues can arise due to:
Tight construction timelines
Multiple subcontractors
Missed details during installation
Building code oversights
Incomplete or rushed work
Builders work hard—but they’re human. A neutral, third-party inspection co. like Sonic Home Inspections ensures nothing is overlooked.
Many buyers assume “new” means “perfect.” In reality, some of the most common defects we find occur in brand-new homes, including:
Improper electrical panel wiring
Missing or loose GFCI/AFCI protection
Plumbing leaks behind walls
Incomplete insulation in attics and walls
Poor grading or drainage around foundation
HVAC systems not properly balanced
Roof flashing or ventilation issues
Cosmetic items hiding deeper problems
