Cranor Home Inspections

It’s a no-brainer to hire a professional home inspector before you buy a house.  It’s key for your peace of mind and your decision-making ability to have an experienced inspector on your side before purchasing!  But should you hire a home inspector for a newly constructed house?  The answer is YES!  I literally could write a book about countless egregious defects I have discovered in new construction over my 22-year career as an inspector.  Even if there are no serious deficiencies, it is rare that I don’t find issues that should be corrected before they turn into more serious problems.  As one of the few Virginia approved training providers I teach a continuing education class on inspecting New Residential Structures that is mandated for VA Home Inspectors to maintain their license.   I often hear comments from the less experienced inspectors that inspecting New Homes is easier.
