Catalina Foothills Newly Built Homes
We often think we don’t have to worry about maintenance issues with newly built homes. With so many different people involved in the construction of home, it is inevitable that mistakes will be made. Some are minor, some are major.
Check the doors, windows and locks that they are opening and closing properly. Check all the switches and outlets that they are working properly. Make sure that flooring is free of chips, scratches or cracks. You’ll want the instruction manuals for all of the appliances. Look at the exterior is it finished properly, whether stucco or paint. Make sure that there are no cracks in the garage or driveway. The yard needs to be graded properly away from the house for those Arizona monsoons. Your inspector will check that all of the plumbing is functioning correctly.
Your home inspection will empower you to get things fixed by the owner or negotiate a better deal.
