Great Job- found so many items un-noticeable to the average person. Inspection was critical and saved me a lot of time & money. Joe was quite professional, knowledgeable and thorough, and was able to respond on short notice. Highly Recommend

Buying a home and Joe did my inspection. He is professional, meticulous and knows his stuff. He answered all of my questions and I had a lot! I would recommend him to everyone without hesitation!!!

My wife and I are relocating and purchasing a new construction from another state. We were not able to be present for the inspection and were very nervous, as we are nit-picky people. Joe went above and beyond our expectations. His nit-picking put us to shame, as he was more thorough than we could have imagined. He checked every aspect of our prospective house and carefully compiled all of the findings into a 33-page report, with pictures. We are so thankful for his attention to detail and are confident in our purchase after reviewing his report. We would use him again and recommend him to others without hesitation.

Joe is professional and knowledgable. Home inspections can be time sensitive, Joe was able to fit us into his busy schedule quickly. We arrived to the home early, Joe was already waiting to meet us . Joe performed the inspection, was able to answer our questions and provided a detailed inspection report . Very responsive, great experience. Highly recommend.

Joe is professional and very thorough. He is responsive and knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Reports are easy to read and very detailed. Would definitely recommend his services.

We have bought multiple properties and he has by far been the best home inspector we have used. I would highly recommend his services and we will definitely be calling him again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We hired Joe to do the inspection for a home we are purchasing. He was through and professional. His report was detailed and easy to understand. We had a few question about the report and he was quick to respond and go over it with us. I would use his services again and recommend him to friends and family.

I received a 36 page inspection report with in-depth detail of the home I am purchasing soon. He is great communicating by answering calls and text messages. He wanted to make sure he answered all of my questions. I inquired having a termite inspection and septic tank inspection and Joe set those inspections up as well!

Joe Cardo was great!!!! I needed services within 48 hours and he did what he could and was available the within 24hrs. Joe was knowledgeable and thorough.

Worst inspector i ever hired. Did a inspection on a house i bought and fail to tell me palce had cast iron drains . He will have his turn in court.

Win Home Inspection did a great job. They found a few things that needed to be corrected and went back the next day to make sure they were fixed.. I highly recommend them.

Joe was knowledgeable and prompt. We needed our inspection completed within a few days and Joe made it happen. Thank you!

Joe was GREAT. Due to scheduling conflicts and builder restrictions he was more then accommodating. He filled out all the forms the the builder required. He was on time, professional, very knowledgeable. Any issues he advised so we could tell the builder. I would highly recommend Joe.

Awesome job and great customer service. We were pressed for time and needed an inspection to push the deal forward. Joe went above and beyond to accommodate us. He even let me shadow him through whole inspection and explained it. I really learned alot and for a first time home buyer like me that experience was invaluable. I would definitely recommend Joe.

Very thorough in going through the home. Joe was a pleasure.

He is professional, on time, accurate, patient, knowledgeable and takes time to review details with buyers which makes all the difference. Highly recommend.

He was very professional and very thorough. He took the time to explain each issue he found with the home. His expertise kept me from making a wrong choice on a home purchase. Thank you Joe!

Joe Cardo was exceptional in his response time, knowledge, professionalism and thoroughness! I highly recommend him and his service! We are going to keep his thorough report for reference in taking care of our new home!

As difficult of a decision as it is to hire someone these days, I am so thankful for my decision to contact Joe at WIN Home Inspection. My very first impressions were great based on his promptness in returning all calls and eagerness to tackle the job (4-point inspection) as soon as possible. He also maintained great communication with me regarding the appointment time down to 10 minutes! Once arriving, I was further impressed and thankful for his thorough inspection and also willingness to explain the concerns he found. I am so thankful to have met Joe and will be sure to call on him in the future as well as refer him to my family and friends. THANKS SO MUCH JOE!!!

Very professional and went above and beyond helping me with the inspection for the insurance company. Also, very affordable. Highly recommend .

Very thorough inspection. It was especially difficult because we couldn't be there since we were moving there from out of state. The inspector spent a good amount of time explaining the findings to me over the phone and answering any questions we had.

We had a tight schedule to close. Joe was responsive and did a very thorough job. He provided a detailed report and walked us around the property to understand both the good and bad. His help allowed us to make the best decisions possible. I strongly recommend Joe and his team!

Joe was on top of it from my first phone call. He was even able to accommodate our tight schedule and came out super fast! Very professional and informative. Joe was able to answer all questions objectively and honestly-and that is appreciated!! Thank you for making my first home inspection in Florida a positive experience. Highly recommended!!

While purchasing any property can be a challenging process, Joe Cardo’s professionalism and thoroughness of inspecting properties will leave you with a more clear picture on your decision. I have had mediocre experiences with other inspectors due to skimming and not fully inspecting properties. He puts on his gloves and means business. I invest in properties and Win Home Inspection is my first and only choice. Joe is ready to answer any questions or concerns you may have and is always happy to recommend any repairs that you may need in the future which will end up saving you money. Keep up the stellar work Win Home Inspection.

I am new to Florida and was referred to Joe at WIN home inspectors through my realtor. Joe’s customer service was fantastic from our first phone call. We set up the initial inspection, he called to confirm and also asked for the realtors number in case he could not get a hold of me. He let me know when he was finished with the inspection and because I could not be there, we set up a time to go over his findings. I could not ask for better customer service. His report was clear and precise. I would recommend Joe to anyone purchasing a home!

Always on time and always great with answering the clients concerns. Highly recommend them!!!

Joe recently did a home inspection for us. He was great!! The inspection was done quickly. It was very thorough. He had the final report back the same day. I highly recommend WIN inspection Terry

Great Experience with WIN Home Inspection... Joe really took his time performing the inspection and noticed every little detail... was knowledgeable, thorough, polite and professional. You can feel very confident about his report... I would definitely recommend him!!! Thanks Joe... Liberty and Joe!

Excellent service! Very thorough and reasonably priced. 5 stars!

Friendly service , Dependable Service, Very reliable , That take their time and check out everything.Prices are great.K will tell everyone people I know and don't know.love this company.

Joe was personable and seemed knowledgeable, but when we found the bathroom exhaust fan vent did not exhaust, we found that it did not exit the roof as it should. He totally missed the fact there was a duct line in the attic but no vent for it to exit the house. He promised several times to come back for a review but never did. He gets 3 stars because he did a great job on a previous house, but glossed over many details in the one we eventually bought.

Horrible company that is not responsive or professional. I scheduled an appointment for a rental property I own in order to renew my home insurance. I scheduled the inspection for Friday, April 30th, 2021. I came from Palm Beach and let the managing partner, Joe Cardo, know that I was at the property all day and was flexible as to the appointment time. An inspector showed up at approximately 3:45 PM. I cannot tell you the name of this inspector because he did not tell me, nor did he give me a card or any paperwork supporting that the inspection has been completed. After the inspection he inquired about payment, offering that I can make the payment either online or in person with him. I told him I preferred to make the payment on site immediately. He then referred me to make the payment online. As soon as he left I went online and saw that there was no option to make a payment. I then contacted the managing partner, informing him that I needed to render payment so that I could receive my home inspection report. I was told he would call me to arrange payment, but never did. I reached out to him again by telephone and e-mail, with no response and then reached out the corporate office by telephone and e-mail and was told “no one is available to take my call and to leave a message.” It is now a week later and I have lost my insurance on my property because I have not received the inspection report. Never in my time as a homeowner have I had such difficulty arranging payment for services rendered! It is quite ironic to see 5-star reviews for this company when they cannot even arrange for a customer to make a simple payment. Update: Finally, after multiple attempts, I was sent the inspection agreement and invoice and asked to make my payment via Venmo and received my inspection report on 04/09/2021.

Highly recommended, very impeccable service and reliable. The inspector's professionalism and knowledge are amazing! The report was available by the end of the day. It was very detailed, concise and clear.

Joe was very professional and readily available. The inspection and reports were quite thorough. Great job, well done!

WIN Home Inspection is very thorough when it comes to presenting what a homes needs are. Joe Cardo finds everything big or little that could be a concern when purchasing a home. I would recommend them to anyone.

Joe’s inspection of a home we had pending prevented us from making a mistake buying this home with hidden defects . Money well spent . We were buying from a distance and if it wasn’t for his very comprehensive inspection we would not have been made aware of these issues . Huge thank you !

Knowledgeable inspector with great customer service.

Joe was a pleasure to work with. He answered all of my questions leading up to the inspection and made the experience easy. His report was so thorough and really made me feel confident about the house I was purchasing. I would HIGHLY recommend Joe for your home inspection needs!

I highly recommend this company. Joe was prompt, efficient, and reasonably priced. I received my 36 page report online within hours of the job being finished.

Joe was professional and very thorough. He took the time to review even the smallest issues with me, as well as to provide guidance on future maintenance and updates that I may want to consider. I would definitely use WIN Home Inspection again.

Joe was awesome!! Super professional, knowledgeable, and detailed plus a great price!! I had a bad experience with a home inspector previously to hiring Joe who made my new experience like Night & Day. Would definitely recommend WIN inspections ??

Joe was knowledgeable, thorough, polite and professional. I would definitely recommend him. This is my 2nd inspection with him and I feel confident in the accuracy of his report. On the 1st inspection for a different property he found several issues that could have cost me a bundle down the road. Total thumbs up from me!!

I was incredibly impressed with Joe and Dakota. We have purchased 3 homes in the last 10 years and this inspector has surpassed the others. The inspection went very smoothly. The customer service was great from start to finish. I was shocked our pool inspection was included in the price and Joe even assisted me with getting a homeowners insurance quote from one of his affiliates. I highly recommend! We will be using their services only for future investment properties.

Joe was prompt to the inspection, spent the time needed to do a thorough search, explained his findings, and was available post-inspection for questions. I told my realtor all of this and he committed to use WIN going forward. Couldn't be better!

Flipping houses is a popular way for people to invest in real estate. For some, the idea of buying a property, renovating it, and turning a profit sounds like a dream. Sometimes, it is. But there’s a long process to get through before you can turn your investment property into a beautiful home that attracts buyers willing to pay for quality.

## Understanding the House Flipping Process
There are some crucial factors to consider before trying to flip a house. From market conditions and financing to home inspections and renovation pitfalls, here’s your guide to flipping smart. 

### Is Flipping Right for You? 

![AdobeStock_624118327.jpeg](https://d2nnm6ppct4rc3.cloudfront.net/Adobe_Stock_624118327_894aa6879f.jpeg)

House flipping isn’t just about making a home look pretty — it’s a serious investment that takes a lot of time and money. 

It’s important to ask yourself whether: 

- You have time to oversee renovation projects?
- You can handle stress and make decisions quickly?
- You have access to funding and a financial cushion that covers unexpected costs?

Flipping isn’t a get-rich-quick strategy. It takes effort, patience, and preparation. If you’re not prepared for a commitment, it isn’t right for you.

## Key Financial and Economic Considerations 
Flipping a house usually requires a significant financial commitment. Take financial and economic considerations seriously to protect yourself from lost opportunities.

### The Impact of Market Fluctuations 
Real estate markets can shift quickly. What’s a great deal today might not be profitable in a few months. Study the market you're buying in to look at pricing trends, local job growth, and housing demand over the last year. Nothing can guarantee that you’ll make a profit, but taking a deep dive into the data means you can make an informed decision. 

**Tip:** The best time to buy is often when prices have cooled slightly but demand is still steady. Avoid buying in a peak market unless you have a solid exit plan. 

The best times to buy and sell real estate can <a href="https://www.zillow.com/learn/best-time-to-sell/" target="_blank">vary by location</a>. Know your area’s trends to make the right choices.

### Navigating Interest Rates and Financing 
Fluctuating interest rates can affect your costs and profit margins. Even a small increase in interest could force you to spend thousands more as you repay your loan.

Unfortunately, you probably won’t qualify for a mortgage when buying an investment property. Lenders typically only give mortgage loans to people who plan to live in the homes.

You do have some investment property financing options, though, including:

- **Conventional loans –** Lower interest rates, but you have to meet stricter qualifications.
**- Hard money loans –** Easier to qualify for, but they have higher interest rates and shorter terms.
- **Private lenders –** Flexible rates and terms are possible, but you’ll have to negotiate for a good deal.
- **Home equity loans (HELOCs) –** Relatively low interest rates, but you risk losing your home to foreclosure if you miss payments.

Make sure to understand your loan terms and plan for interest rate changes during the flip. 

### Hidden Costs You Should Know 
No matter how great a deal seems upfront, flipping almost always comes with surprise costs. You never know when you’ll have to shell out more cash for electrical rewiring, mold removal, code violations, and permit fees. 

**Pro Tip:** Set aside 10–20% of your [renovation budget](https://wini.com/articles/sustainable-renovation-ideas-to-transform-your-home/) for unexpected expenses. And remember to factor in realtor fees, insurance, and utilities during the time you hold the property. 

## How Home Inspections Help in the Flipping Process 

![home inspection process](https://d2nnm6ppct4rc3.cloudfront.net/HHC_4de57958bd.jpg)

Before you buy, [book a professional home inspection](https://wini.com/services/home-inspection/). A thorough inspection can reveal issues that aren’t visible on the surface — like foundation cracks, faulty electrical wiring, and water damage. 

Getting a home inspection means you can: 
- Prioritize repairs and plan your renovation budget realistically
- Avoid money pits by walking away from problem properties
- Take advantage of infrared (IR) scanning to detect moisture or insulation issues behind walls
- Boost buyer confidence and validate your asking price

Inspections are more than just an item to check off your list of things to do. They're your blueprint to making smart decisions before, during, and after the flip. 

## Renovation Tips and Best Practices
If you decide to move forward with your project, you’ll need to follow some best practices to get positive results that attract buyers. 

### Smart Renovations That Add Value 
Not all upgrades are created equal. 

Focus your efforts on: 
- Kitchens and bathrooms
- Flooring
- Curb appeal
- Lighting upgrades

These are the areas buyers care about most. Just don’t overdo it — know your neighborhood’s price ceiling. There’s no sense in installing marble countertops in a community full of starter homes. If a feature won’t appeal to buyers, don’t spend money on it. 

### Managing the Renovation Timeline 
Delays cost money. Period. When you build extra time into your schedule for setbacks, supply issues, or weather-related delays, you’ll find it much easier to: 

- Stick to a project plan
- Monitor progress weekly
- Be ready to pivot when needed

### Choosing the Right Contractors 
Choosing trustworthy contractors is critical. If you don’t already have people you trust, find the right professional by:

- Checking reviews and referrals
- Verifying licensing and insurance
- Choosing the person who communicates well and has a proven track record — not the one with the cheapest bid

Also, make sure all work is permitted and up to code. Skipping this step could delay your sale or lead to fines. 

## The Risk of DIY Flipping: Why “Doing It Yourself” Isn’t Always the Best Move 

![First-Time-Homeowner (1).jpeg](https://d2nnm6ppct4rc3.cloudfront.net/First_Time_Homeowner_1_11e8f1864a.jpeg)

Let’s talk DIY. Rolling up your sleeves and painting a room or installing a backsplash sounds cost-effective and fun, right? Many flippers love to save on labor costs by doing cosmetic work themselves. For some people, it’s the right approach to saving money and boosting profits.

_But here’s the truth:_ DIY often shows, and not in a good way. 

Crooked tiles, poorly painted cabinets, and improperly installed light fixtures might not seem like a big deal at first, but it screams “unprofessional” to potential buyers. When they notice a small cosmetic problem, smart buyers will wonder what problems lay under the surface.

And that can lead to: 
- Longer time on the market
- Lower bids
- Lost buyer confidence

If you’re handy and experienced, great — just know your limits. For everything else, hire a pro. The upfront cost is worth the peace of mind and higher resale value. 

What if you decide to move forward with [DIY projects](https://wini.com/articles/should-you-attempt-that-diy-project/)? It’s almost always best to: 
- Stick to light painting or cleaning
- Avoid plumbing, electrical, or tiling unless you’re trained
- Practice on non-critical areas (like a laundry room) first so you really know you have the required skills for the job 

_Remember:_ Your end goal is profit, not just personal satisfaction. 

## Legal and Regulatory Considerations 

### The Importance of Permits and Licensing 

Cutting corners on permits might save time and money upfront, but it’s a risky move. If the city finds out, you could face: 
- Fines
- Forced removal of work
- Delayed closing with buyers

Make sure: 
- Contractors are licensed
- All necessary permits are pulled
- Renovations meet local building codes

Skimping on this step can lead to big legal trouble and cost you your hard-earned profit. 

## Treat House Flipping as a Business
Flipping houses can be incredibly rewarding, but it's not without challenges. Success requires a sharp eye, sound financial planning, solid inspections, and a smart renovation strategy. 

Here’s what to keep in mind: 
- Know the local real estate climate
- Choose the right financing option for your needs
- Budget for more than you think you'll need
- Invest in professional inspections before and after renovations
- Avoid DIY unless you’re truly skilled
- Follow the law — permits and codes matter!

House flipping isn't a shortcut to instant wealth — it’s a business. Like any business, it demands effort, knowledge, and the right team around you. 


What You Need to Know Before Flipping a House

As a homeowner, you know how crucial your roof is in safeguarding your house. It protects your family from the weather and maintains the home's structural soundness. But, like most homeowners, you might find that roof upkeep is something you think about, but never quite get around to doing. If it's not broken, don't fix it, right? Wrong! 

Ignoring roof care now can lead to costly issues later—whether it's a small leak that grows into widespread [water damage](https://wini.com/articles/how-to-spot-signs-of-water-damage-in-your-home/) or shingles that break down over time. Regular roof inspections can help catch minor problems before they become major headaches - helping you save money, time, and cut down on stress in the future. 

Let's dive into why checking your roof is so important, how people do it, and how it can keep your house safe and your roof in great shape. 

## What Is a Roof Inspection? 

![Roof Inspection_Lee Blackstone_1.jpg](https://d2nnm6ppct4rc3.cloudfront.net/Roof_Inspection_Lee_Blackstone_1_014319c09a.jpg)

A [roof inspection](https://wini.com/articles/everything-you-need-to-know-about-drone-roof-inspections/) is a thorough evaluation of your roof’s current condition. It's not just someone looking up from the ground - it's about taking a closer look and spotting problems that could give you big headaches later. 

When inspecting a roof, a qualified expert takes a close look at key areas. These include the shingles or tiles, metal bits around vents and chimneys, rain gutters, water drainage, the layer under the shingles, and how well the attic breathes. Inspectors look for common signs of damage or wear, such as missing or curled shingles, rusted flashing, leaks, mold growth, or poor ventilation. 

Roof inspections typically fall into a few categories: 

- **Visual Inspections:** The expert climbs up and walks on the roof to see things up close. 
- **Drone Inspections:** [Drone technology](https://wini.com/drone-inspection/) allows inspectors (approved by the FAA) to easily access steep roofs or difficult-to-reach places, taking high-resolution photos and videos for further examination. 
- **Infrared (IR) Roof Inspections:** Inspectors examine the attic with infrared cameras to spot moisture trapped under your roof's surface or insulation problems you can't see with your eyes. 

## Why Are Roof Inspections Important? 

Regular Roof Inspections are important because they: 

- Catch small issues (like tiny leaks or algae growth) saving you from expensive fixes down the road. 
- Keep your home healthy by spotting possible dangers (like mold growth). 
- Guard your home's structure by making sure the roof stays in good shape. 
- Keep your home valuable, making it more appealing to future buyers (an old or unkept roof can worry potential buyers!). 
- Give you peace of mind by making sure your roof can handle the seasons to come. 

## Signs You Need a Roof Inspection 

![WIN Home Inspector conducting a roof inspection from a ladder.](https://d2nnm6ppct4rc3.cloudfront.net/win_home_inspection_customer_service_2423f970a0.png)

You should know when your roof needs help. Here are common signs that you need to get a pro to check your roof: 

- **Clear Damage:** Shingles that are missing, broken, or curling up. 
- **Leaks or Water Damage:** Stains from water on your ceilings or walls. 
- **Moss or Algae Growing:** Green spots or lines that show trapped water. 
- **Roof Sinking:** Weak structure that needs fixing right away. 
- **Losing Granules:** Bits from shingles found in gutters or around your house. 
- **Expensive Energy Bills:** Bad insulation and poor airflow can make heating and cooling cost more. 
- **After Bad Weather:** Following storms, hail strong winds, or other harsh conditions. 

## Preventive Roof Maintenance vs. Roof Replacement 

Can I do repairs or do I need to replace my roof? [Homeowners](https://wini.com/home-owner/) often ask this, so understanding the difference between roof upkeep and replacement can save you money and help you avoid stress. 

### Preventive Roof Maintenance 

Regular check-ups and quick fixes for minor roof problems help prevent bigger issues from popping up. This approach can help your roof last longer and keep you from having to shell out thousands of dollars for major repairs. Roof maintenance works best for roofs that are new or in good shape. By taking care of small problems early on - like loose shingles clogged gutters, or small leaks - homeowners can avoid pricey repairs or the need to replace the whole roof later. 

### Roof Replacement 

When a roof has serious damage or is too old for repairs, it's time to replace it. This typically happens when roofs are over 20 years old, show signs of widespread decay or experience a major weather event that caused significant damage. Though it costs more, putting on a new roof is often the only choice when fixes can't keep the old one in good shape anymore. A roofing expert will check things out before they tell you if they can patch things up or if you need to start fresh with a whole new roof. 

### How a Home Inspector Adds Value 

The main benefit of working with a home inspector for your roof assessment is their professional, yet unbiased perspective. Roofing companies often handle both the inspection and the subsequent fixes or replacements. This creates a conflict of interest for you, as they might want to sell you those repairs. A home inspector can provide a report on your roof's state, which you can then use to get estimates for any necessary work from a roofing company. 

## How to Get Ready for a Roof Inspection 

Preparing for your roof inspection beforehand can make it run smoother and help the inspector get everything they need to look at your roof. Remember, rain, sleet, or snow might make it hard for the inspector to check your roof. 

Before your inspection: 

- **Ensure easy access:** Be sure the inspector can get to your attic or crawl spaces. They might need to look for signs of leaks or water damage inside. 
- **Clear debris around the home:** Get rid of any trash, branches, or things blocking your house and roof. This could get in the way of the inspection or put the inspector at risk. 
- **Gather relevant documentation:** Gather any useful documents like old inspection reports, warranty info, or insurance stuff to give the inspector a full picture of your roof's past. 
- **Make a list of concerns:** Make a list of specific issues or areas you want the inspector to check out such as water getting in, parts that are sinking, or damage from big storms. 

## What to Expect During and After a Roof Inspection 

### During the Inspection 

When the inspector shows up, they'll start by looking at both the inside and outside parts of your roof. Here's what's likely to happen: 

- **Exterior Roof Condition:** The inspector will check the roof up close for any visible damage. They'll look for missing shingles, cracked tiles, damaged flashing, or other signs of wear. If the roof is too high or hard to reach, they might use ladders, binoculars, or even drones to still see all areas. 
- **Gutters and Downspouts:** The inspector will also look at your gutters to make sure they're clean and working well. Gutters full of debris can cause water damage and make the roof rot if no one cleans them. 
- **Attic and Interior Check:** Inside your house, the inspector examines your attic to spot signs of leaks, poor airflow, or insulation problems that might point to roof issues. They look for water marks, mold, or damp smells that suggest moisture troubles. 
- **Tech Tools:** To make a more in-depth check, some roof inspectors use high-tech gear like IR cameras. These tools help find hidden moisture under the roof's surface or assess the state of insulation. 

Plan on the inspection lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, based on how big and complex your roof is. You should try to be at home while it happens, so you can ask questions and get a clearer picture of what the inspector finds. 

### After the Inspection 

When the inspection ends, you'll get a detailed report from the inspector. This report includes: 

- **Condition Summary:** A breakdown of how your roof looks overall pointing out any problems that need fixing right away. 
- **Recommendations:** A list of repairs or upkeep to keep your roof in good shape. This could range from cleaning out gutters to swapping out damaged shingles. 
- **Pictures:** A lot of inspectors add photos to point out problem areas. This helps you and the roofer see what they noticed. 

You can expect the inspector to talk to you about what they found. They'll explain how serious any problems are. Sometimes, they might suggest fixes or point you to a good roofer if the job's too big for you to handle on your own. 

### Next Steps 

Once you get the inspection report, it's key to act on what it says. If it shows small issues, book repairs soon to stop them from turning into bigger, pricier problems. If it reveals big issues, you might need to choose between replacing the whole roof or doing more complex repairs. 

## Choosing the Right Roof Inspector 

Finding the right roof inspector plays a key role in getting an honest and thorough check of your roof. Here's what you should think about when you're looking for an inspector: 

- **Qualifications and Know-how:** Try to [find an inspector](https://wini.com/) who has the right certificates and training. They need to have worked on roof inspections before and know about different roof materials and ways to build them. 
- **In-depth Reports:** A good inspector gives you clear and extensive reports. Look for a complete report with pictures, explanations, and ideas on what to do next. 
- **Reputation and Reviews:** Look up online feedback and get tips from friends, family neighbors, or realtors. A reliable inspector will have a track record of good reviews from past clients. 
- **Independence:** Pick an independent third-party inspector. Stay away from inspectors who have ties to roofing contractors, as their findings might lean towards pushing repairs or replacements. 
- **Insurance and Liability:** Make sure the inspector has liability coverage in case of accidents during the inspection.

Guide to Roof Inspections: What Every Homeowner Needs to Know

Building your dream house? Congratulations! It’s exciting to think about designing your space just the way you want it. But it’s also easy to get caught up and make some mistakes. 

Whether it’s rushing the build, skipping out on important inspections, or making poor design choices, these simple mistakes can affect the quality, safety, and resale value of your home. Fortunately, with careful planning and expert guidance, these mistakes can be avoided! 

In this blog, we’ll cover the most common mistakes people make when building a house and how you can avoid them to ensure a smooth and stress-free construction process. 

## Mistake: Assuming a New Home Doesn’t Need an Inspection

![WIN Home Inspector Inspecting Electrical Board with IR Scanner](https://d2nnm6ppct4rc3.cloudfront.net/Understanding_Winter_Home_Inspections_93c458fa90.png)

Many [homeowners](https://wini.com/home-owner/) believe that a new house is automatically free of defects. However, new does not always mean perfect. Builders juggle multiple projects at once, and mistakes can happen due to human error, miscommunication, or rushed work. In fact, over 50% of new build home buyers find defects after moving in that could’ve been resolved prior to closing. 

### Why It’s a Mistake:

- Hidden issues such as poor framing, improper plumbing, electrical faults, or HVAC inefficiencies can go unnoticed. 
- Minor construction errors can lead to expensive repairs later. 
- Builder’s inspections typically only check for code compliance and meeting minimum standards not overall construction quality. 

### How to Avoid It: 

- Schedule two key inspections:
1. [Pre-drywall inspection](https://wini.com/services/pre-drywall-inspection/) (before walls are covered up) to check structural, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC installations. 
2. Final walkthrough inspection before closing to catch any remaining issues. 
- Hire a third-party inspector for an objective assessment of the home’s quality and functionality. Don’t just trust your builder to inspect their own work! 

## Mistake: Rushing the Design Process Without Thinking Long-Term 

The layout and design of your home should not just be based on what looks good today but what will work for you years down the road. Many homeowners fail to plan for future lifestyle changes, storage needs, and timeless finishes. 

### Why It’s a Mistake: 

- Poor room layouts may result in awkward furniture placement and limited functionality. 
- Not considering family growth, aging-in-place needs, or resale value may cause regrets later as you look to sell your once dream home. 

### How to Avoid It: 

- Prioritize open floor plans, natural lighting, and smart storage solutions. 
- Think ahead—design with resale value and adaptability in mind. 

## Mistake: Not Investing in Energy-Saving Features 

A home that lacks [energy-efficient](https://wini.com/articles/home-energy-score-everything-you-need-to-know/) elements will cost more to operate and maintain in the long run. With many builders offering energy-efficient appliances, systems and windows, it’s a great idea to take advantage of these features now. 

### Why It’s a Mistake: 

- Poor insulation and inefficient windows lead to higher utility bills. 
- Failing to include smart energy solutions reduces the home’s long-term sustainability and resale value. 

### How to Avoid It: 

- Use high-quality insulation, double-pane windows, and energy-efficient [HVAC systems](https://wini.com/articles/hvac-inspection-what-to-know-win-home-inspection/). 
- Consider installing solar panels, smart thermostats, and LED lighting. 
- Opt for energy-efficient appliances to cut down on monthly utility costs. 

## Mistake: Hiring a Builder Without Proper Research 

![a-trustworthy-builder-is-one-of-the-most-important-things-to-consider-when-buying-a-new-construction-home_1137_40115570_0_14124926_500.jpg](https://d2nnm6ppct4rc3.cloudfront.net/a_trustworthy_builder_is_one_of_the_most_important_things_to_consider_when_buying_a_new_construction_home_1137_40115570_0_14124926_500_604eb01d40.jpg)

Not all builders and contractors have the same level of skill, experience, and commitment to quality. Thoroughly research builders and communities in your area to make sure you are going with someone who has a reputation for building high quality homes that exceed their clients' expectations.  

### Why It’s a Mistake: 

- Unreliable builders may cut corners, use subpar materials, or delay the project, which can be more costly for you in the long run. 
- Lack of a clear contract can result in misunderstandings, additional costs, or legal issues. 

### How to Avoid It: 

- Check references, online reviews, and previous projects before hiring a builder. 
- Ensure contracts are detailed and include project timelines, materials, and warranty coverage. 
- Communicate regularly with the builder to stay updated on progress. 

## Mistake: Rushing the Contractors 

We know you’re excited about moving into your new home and you may be in a time crunch to move if you’re currently renting or selling your house, but good construction takes time, and rushing the process can lead to poor craftsmanship and an increase in construction defects. Let the builders do their jobs and don’t skip out on any of the steps, like inspections, to try and save time. It’ll end up costing you later!  

### Why It’s a Problem: 

- Rushed labor increases the chances of mistakes and overlooked defects. 
- Unfinished details can require expensive fixes later. 

### How to Avoid It: 

- Set realistic timelines and be patient. 
- Conduct a final walkthrough inspection before signing off on the build. 

## Conclusion 

Building a home is a significant investment, and avoiding these five common mistakes can save you time, money, and frustration. So, remember... 
- [Schedule inspections](https://wini.com/) to catch issues early. 
- Plan ahead for future needs. 
- Trust in the right professionals. 



Don't Make These Same Mistakes When Building a House

Building or buying a brand-new home is an exciting endeavor for any buyer. The idea of moving into a freshly built house untouched by previous owners and fully designed with modern touches is exhilarating. Many homeowners assume that because the home is new, it’s free from defects—but that’s not always the case. Even in new construction, mistakes can happen, and issues can arise due to rushed work, overlooked details, or miscommunication between contractors. In fact, over 50% of new build homeowners find defects after moving in and deal with the headaches of having the builder make repairs and disrupting their new life in their new home. 

This is where a [new construction inspection](https://wini.com/services/new-construction-inspection/) comes in. Unlike inspections conducted by your builder, which focus on minimum standards and code compliance, an independent third-party inspection ensures that your new home meets the highest standards for quality and safety. In this article, we’ll share the importance of new construction inspections, when they should be scheduled, and how they help homeowners protect their dream home investment.  

## What Is a New Construction Inspection? 

![Why Home Inspections are Essential After Renovations](https://d2nnm6ppct4rc3.cloudfront.net/Why_Home_Inspections_are_Essential_After_Renovations_1641b44994.png)

A new construction inspection is a home inspection of a newly built home before the buyer takes ownership. It is conducted by a [professional home inspector](https://wini.com/) who assesses the home's major systems, structure, and construction. 

A new construction inspection from an outside inspector provides the buyer with an unbiased perspective and helps buyers identify and address construction flaws with the builder before closing, ensuring they move into a well-built, headache-free home.  

## When Should You Schedule a New Construction Inspection? 

To get the most value from a home inspection on a new build, it's best to schedule inspections at key stages of construction: before the drywall goes up and during the final walkthrough. 

### 1. Pre-Drywall Inspection

![WIN Home inspectors doing a pre drywall inspection](https://d2nnm6ppct4rc3.cloudfront.net/What_Is_a_New_Construction_Inspection_5bcb9aa322.png)

A [pre-drywall inspection](https://wini.com/services/pre-drywall-inspection/) is exactly that, an inspection before the drywall goes up. At this stage of construction, the foundation, framing, electrical and plumbing are all installed. Getting an inspection at this stage of the building process is crucial for catching any issues with the studs or trusses (mold growth and cracks are common) and ensuring the electrical and plumbing systems are installed correctly. Once the drywall goes up, these issues are immediately hidden and become much more difficult to detect and timely and costly to repair. This is why a pre-drywall inspection is crucial: 

- Inspectors can check structural components, including framing, foundation, and load-bearing walls. 
- Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems are visible, allowing inspectors to spot installation errors before they are concealed. 
- Any issues identified at this stage can be fixed before they become major concerns down the road, threatening your construction timeline. 

### 2. Final Walkthrough Inspection 

A final walkthrough inspection is the final check before you close on the home and get the keys. By this time, construction is complete and your home is ready to move in – or is it? Builders and contractors will do a final pass through of your home and sign off that it’s complete, but they could be missing some things that may seem like no big deal now, but degrade the quality of your new home and could turn into costly repairs later.  

## Why do you need a new consruction inspection? 

- This inspection provides a comprehensive review of all major systems, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roof, attic, windows, and doors. 
- It helps verify that everything is working as intended and that the home is safe and functional. 
- It allows buyers to request repairs or adjustments from the builder before taking ownership. 
- It can identify construction flaws that got overlooked by the builder. 

By scheduling inspections at these two critical points, homeowners can address potential issues early and ensure their new home exceeds their expectations.  

## Common Issues Found in New Construction Homes 

Even the most reputable builders can make mistakes or miss details. Here are some of the most common issues found during new construction inspections: 

### 1. Structural and Installation Concerns 

- Uneven or improperly installed framing that can lead to long-term stability issues. 
- [Foundation cracks](https://wini.com/articles/foundation-cracks/) or poor grading, which can lead to drainage problems, flooding and mold growth. 
- Misaligned doors and windows, causing them to not open or close properly and affecting the home’s energy inefficiency. 

### 2. Plumbing and Electrical Deficiencies 

- Leaking pipes or improper drainage due to rushed plumbing work. 
- Electrical outlets that don’t work or are incorrectly wired. 
- Missing or improperly installed GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms. 

### 3. HVAC and Ventilation Problems 

- Ductwork issues that restrict airflow or are clogged with construction debris, reducing efficiency. 
- Improper thermostat installation, leading to inconsistent heating and cooling. 
- Blocked or misaligned vents, affecting indoor air quality. 

### 4. Cosmetic and Finish Defects 

- Poor paintwork, trim, or cabinetry installation. 
- Scratches, dents, or incomplete finishes on appliances, floors, doors, windows and walls. 
- Misaligned or missing fixtures such as lights, light switches, door handles, outlets and countertops.  

## Why a New Construction Inspection Is Worth Every Penny 

###Identifies Hidden Issues Before Closing 

Many issues in a new home are not visible to the untrained eye. Plus, with multiple contractors and project managers, it’s inevitable that issues could be overlooked. A professional inspector has the expertise to spot defects that builders should address prior to closing. 

### Provides Peace of Mind 

Knowing that an expert has thoroughly evaluated virtually every inch of your home allows you to move in with confidence, without worrying about potential surprises. 

### Enhances Builder Accountability 

If issues are found, the builder is responsible for fixing them before closing, saving homeowners time and money on future repairs. 

### Protects Your Investment 

A home is one of the biggest investments you’ll make. A new construction inspection helps ensure that your home is built to last and free from preventable defects.  

## Choosing the Right Home Inspector 

Not all inspectors are the same. When choosing a professional for your new construction inspection, consider the following: 

### 1. Experience in New Construction Inspections 

Choose an inspector with a track record of evaluating newly built homes. While the inspection is technically the same as on an existing home, there are issues that are more commonly found in new build homes that they should be aware of and keep an eye out for. 

### 2. Use of Advanced Tools & Technology 

Inspectors who utilize tools like [drones](https://wini.com/drone-inspection/), infrared imaging and moisture meters can detect hidden issues that others may not be able to see. Plus, technology-enhanced inspections provide a more thorough and accurate assessment for the buyers. 

### 3. Detailed & Actionable Reports 

A clear and concise inspection report should include photos, descriptions, and recommendations. It should be delivered in a timely manner to not disrupt the construction timeline. This report helps communicate necessary repairs to the builder.  

## Conclusion 

A new construction home may look perfect on the surface, but hidden issues can exist. Scheduling a professional new construction inspection ensures that your home is safe, functional, and free from major defects before you move in. 

By having inspections at key stages—pre-drywall and final walkthrough—homeowners can address concerns early and protect their investment. 

If you’re buying a newly built home, don’t skip the inspections! A professional evaluation provides peace of mind and helps ensure that your dream home is truly built to last.
