Some people may tell you a new home does not need an inspection but that is simply not true. I have inspected many new homes and found many deficiencies on every inspection. This is because many trades these days have unqualified personnel, especially in the Houston area where the demand for new homes has stretched the labor force. You may minimize any surprises you have after you move in by having your home inspected before closing. This can save you a lot of headaches and money.
