Before you sign the closing papers, know exactly what you're accepting. We inspect the finished home top to bottom to catch builder defects and unfinished items first.
The days before closing are your strongest moment of leverage on a new home. A final, pre-closing walk-through inspection from Highland Property Services gives your finished home a complete, top-to-bottom review — so builder defects and unfinished items are documented while the builder is still on the hook to address them.
Danny and Thomas inspect together, so two experienced sets of eyes cover the finishes, systems, and every room before you accept the keys. Danny's decades as a licensed contractor mean he knows how a home should come together and where a rushed final push leaves loose ends.
You get a concise, same-day digital report with color photos and plain-language explanations — a clear punch list you can bring to your builder before you sign, not after.
Here's what inspecting before closing does for you.
A documented list of defects and unfinished items you can hand your builder before you sign.
Before closing, the builder is still responsible — findings now carry weight they lose after.
Danny and Thomas both on site means more gets caught in your finished home.
Photo-documented findings you can act on before the closing table.
A final walk-through inspection is about timing your leverage. Before you close, the builder is still motivated to make things right; afterward, the same list of items can turn into a slow, frustrating chase. We inspect the finished home while your position is strongest.
Danny's background as a licensed contractor means he knows the difference between normal settling and real defects, and where a fast final push tends to leave things half-done. We document everything so nothing gets waved off at the closing table.
Whether your new home is nearly flawless or has a list of items to finish, you'll walk in with photos and a written record — and the confidence that comes from knowing exactly what you're accepting.
Every final walk-through reviews the finished home, top to bottom.
In the days just before closing, once the home is finished. That timing matters because the builder is still responsible for defects and unfinished work right up until you sign.
The builder's walk-through shows you their view of the home. An independent inspection from us gives you a second, unbiased look and a documented list you can stand behind before you accept the keys.
No — we inspect and document only. We find and photograph defects and unfinished items and recommend they be corrected, then your builder handles the work before or after closing.
That's exactly why you inspect now. A documented punch list before you sign gives you real leverage to have items completed while the builder is still on the hook.
Typically the same day. Your digital report includes color photos and clear explanations, so you can bring a clear list to your builder before the closing table.
