A brand-new home still needs an inspection. Tao Home Inspection provides new construction and 11-month builder warranty inspections across the Eastside, in English and 中文.
New does not mean flawless
Production builders move fast, and we routinely find missed flashing, drainage and grading issues, incomplete framing or insulation, plumbing and electrical defects, and cosmetic problems behind fresh paint. Catching these before you close — or before your builder warranty ends — saves you real money.
The 11-month warranty inspection (do not skip it)
Most builders provide a one-year warranty. An inspection at around 11 months documents every defect while the builder is still on the hook to fix it — one of the highest-value inspections you can book. We give you a clear, photo-documented report you can hand straight to your builder.
