I’m building a new house, why would I need a licensed home inspector?
The builder's representatives work for the builder. We work for you.
Why you need one:
Because building a home shouldn’t mean compromising on quality.
Building a home is exciting—but it’s also undeniably stressful. With countless decisions to make, tight deadlines to meet, and a steady rotation of subcontractors on-site, it’s not uncommon for corners to be cut or details to be overlooked. While your builder may take a year or more to complete your home, you’ll be living in it for many years to come.
In today’s fast-paced construction environment, changes and modifications often occur without thorough oversight. While builders employ their own representatives, those professionals work for them—not you. That’s where we come in.
The Charlotte area is experiencing rapid growth, with new homes being built at record speed. Unfortunately, this boom brings challenges. Municipal building inspectors, stretched thin, are forced to move quickly from one site to the next, often spending minimal time on each home.
Quality builders recognize the value of a third-party inspection. An independent, licensed inspector can identify issues early—while crews are still on site—so corrections can be made promptly, avoiding costly delays later in the process.
At Accolades Inspection Services LLC, we work with your builder, not against them, to help ensure you receive the home you were promised. Our new construction inspections typically take 2½ to 4 hours, depending on the size of the home. We carefully observe, describe, and document all visible systems and components, noting any construction defects or deviations from expected standards.
Our inspectors are fully licensed by the State of North Carolina and carry both General Liability and Professional Liability insurance. We are committed to ongoing education and stay up-to-date on the latest building practices and technologies, ensuring you receive the highest standard of service.
We tailor our pricing based on the size, age, and specific features of your home—so you only pay for what you need. Most pre-drywall inspections range between $300 and $600.
