***Think you don't need a home inspection on Brand New Construction? You're WRONG***
So this was the least stressful part of buying my first home. I contacted 912 Inspections on Monday afternoon, told Aaron that I needed the house inspected ASAP and Aaron was out there at 9:30 Tuesday morning!! This was amazing especially since my realtor told me later she had reached out to her "normal guy" and he wouldn't be able to fit me in for over a week.
Aaron had checked with me if the time would work for me to come be present, but since I wouldn't be free at all that day, and wanted to get it done ASAP, I asked if he could FaceTime with me; to which he said "Absolutely!"
After he was finished, Aaron FaceTimed me & walked me through the handful of issues he would want to see fixed before I closed on the home so he could point them out for me to see - couldn't believe I didn't notice how poorly the back patio light was attached LOL.
Most of the things he found were smaller items, but being that this is my first home I was so glad that he even pointed these out to me because I am NOT a "handy" person so would've wound up paying someone more than what I paid 912 Inspections to come fix them once I noticed them....
But there were two things I would've been PISSED about had I found out later... they skimped on the insulation in the attic!! by a few inches! Also the shingle overhang was too long which I probably never would've known unless it was pointed out to me/caused an issue. Aaron says it seems like a small thing, but can cause issues if not fixed... And I don't even wanna think about how much it would've cost to have those two things remedied...
Aaron didn't rush to get me off the call and answered all my questions (and didn't make me feel stupid.)
Report was sent to me quickly, and he even asked if he should cc my realtor on it since they had been in contact. When she received it and read through it she called to tell me how impressed she was with how thorough it was...(maybe she's found herself another go to guy...)
Anyways... YES I would absolutely recommend 912 Inspections to anyone buying a home!! read more
