Why You Need a New Construction Home Inspection in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough

If you're buying a newly built home in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough—whether in Wasilla, Palmer, or Big Lake—you might assume that everything is perfect. After all, it's brand new, right? However, even new homes can have construction defects, unfinished work, or issues that could cost you down the road. That’s why scheduling a new construction home inspection is a crucial step in protecting your investment.

Not All Inspectors Are Qualified for New Construction Inspections 

When hiring an inspector for a newly built home, it’s important to know that only inspectors with a new construction designation on their license are authorized to perform these inspections. This designation requires additional certification and specialized knowledge of new home construction standards. Without it, an inspector may miss key issues that could impact the long-term quality and safety of your home.

What a New Construction Home Inspection Covers 

A professional new construction inspection goes beyond the basics to ensure that every major system and component of the home has been properly installed and meets industry standards. Our inspections typically include:

Foundation & Structural Integrity – Identifying potential settlement issues, framing defects, or improper materials.

Roofing & Exterior – Ensuring proper installation of roofing, siding, doors, and windows.

Plumbing & Electrical Systems – Checking for leaks, improper wiring, and adherence to industry standards.

HVAC – Conducting a basic function check of the heating and ventilation systems and evaluating general installation practices for visual defects.  

Insulation – Identifying if proper insulation levels have been met where visible.

Interior Finishes – Examining drywall, flooring, and cabinetry for defects or incomplete work.
