New Construction

The inspectors at NextDay Inspect® are State Certified New Residential Structure (NRS) for performing inspections on new construction properties. Home Inspectors at NextDay Inspect® are licensed by the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR) and the Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation (DLLR).

Our philosophy with residential property inspections is to leave no stone left unturned, which means that all rooms and facilities will be thoroughly inspected. The general interior inspection will include checking the basement and crawl space to ensure that there is no problem with rainwater or excess moisture in these hard to reach areas.

There are four phases to the new home construction process.

• Foundation & Footing Inspection
• Pre-Drywall Inspection

•11th Month Warranty Inspection

Deck Inspection

Our InterNACHI certified inspectors are trained to inspect your deck for critical safety features and structural durability.

Aspects the inspector will evaluate are a proper attachment to the home, adequate spacing for the deck boards, sufficient bracing underneath including infill spacing between balusters, secure posts and soil integrity, safe stair treads and graspable handrails, safe clearances from power lines electrical, and lighting features and more. Don’t let your outdoor gathering run the risk of being a potential disaster; schedule your stand-alone deck inspection today!

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging helps the inspector to uncover problems that aren’t always visible to the human eye. The thermal camera employs a process that translates the heat signature in your home on a gradient scale, ranging from bright red to dark blue. Higher temperatures will translate as red, while darker colors are triggered by lower temperatures in wet areas. 

In analyzing these images, the inspector can detect sources of energy loss, pinpoint dangerous electrical hot spots, flue leaks in the chimney that can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, locate wood-destroying insects and detect moisture intrusion (which can be a catalyst for mold). In short, thermal imaging can be an important preventative measure in protecting your home from potential hazards.

Commercial Inspection

At NextDay Inspect, our inspectors have the training, experience, and knowledge to perfectly inspect the commercial site. The commercial property can be of any kind such as an office building, warehouse, industrial facility, retail store, and shop. From top to bottom, our inspectors will thoroughly go over every aspect of the property to give you the most detailed and accurate report. These include:

• Roofing
• Foundation

Pre-Listing Inspection

If you plan on selling your home, you might want to consider getting a pre-listing inspection. NextDay Inspect® offers pre-listing inspection will allow the seller to uncover any potential problems that can compromise the sale of the home. It’s not very different from the usual home inspections, but there are significant benefits to getting a pre-listing inspection done.

• Pricing
  • By getting a pre-listing inspection done, the seller will be able to accurately priced their home as they will know the potential defects and can take care of them to improve the appeal of the house.
• Knowledge of Defects
  • Generally, with a home inspection, the seller is not aware of the issues that are in their home. By getting a pre-listing inspection done, the seller will have full knowledge of their home’s defect.
• Make Repairs Ahead of Time
  • The inspection report will indicate any defects or potential defects found during the inspection. The seller will be able to see which items need significant repair.
• Saves A lot of Time
  • By getting a pre-listing inspection done, the seller will have more control over marketing their home. There are fewer inspection-related issues to negotiate, which in turn allows for a faster transaction.

Roof Inspection

The aspects the Inspector will evaluate the attic and roof structure of the home.

The Inspector will look for adequate fasteners in the attic and proper installation of roof sheathing within the attic. The Inspector will also look for any improper flashing around roof penetrations within the attic. The rafters and truss members within the attic will be evaluated for any deficiencies or alterations.

The roof covering materials will be evaluated, including the shingles, drip edge, and attachment to the sheathing. The roof will be evaluated for any bumps, buckling or otherwise uneven shingle placement.

Please understand there are some limitations, and we will not inspect every roof. Please contact the office for more details.
