New Construction, Phase, Foundation & Warranty Inspections
Footprints Property Inspections helps new construction buyers throughout Northeast Ohio know their home was done right while the builder is still on the hook to fix it.
Your builder has an inspector. That inspector works for the builder.
Footprints works for you, not the builder. Every new construction inspection, phase walkthrough, 11-month warranty review, and pre-listing evaluation is done independently, with no stake in the outcome except finding what's actually there.
Catching defects while the builder is still on the hook for repairs saves you real money. Waiting until the walls are closed up and the warranty expires costs you the rest.
New build buyers across Northeast Ohio have been getting an independent second opinion from Footprints for over 13 years.
New Construction Inspection
Even brand-new homes come with construction defects. 86% of home inspections turn up something that needs to be fixed, and builder punch lists don't catch everything. An independent inspection before closing surfaces issues the builder should fix while it's still their responsibility.

Pre-Drywall Inspection
Once the drywall goes up, everything behind the walls is hidden for good. A pre-drywall inspection catches framing, electrical, plumbing, and insulation issues while they're still accessible. It's the only realistic window to verify the work behind the finished surfaces you'll never see again.

Phase Construction Inspection
A phase construction inspection covers your build at multiple stages instead of just one final walkthrough. We inspect at foundation, framing, pre-drywall, and final, catching issues at each phase before the next one covers them up. This option makes the most sense for custom builds where the stakes of hidden defects are high.

Foundation Inspection
The foundation carries everything above it. A foundation inspection evaluates the footings, walls, drainage, and waterproofing for cracks, movement, and water intrusion that would turn into major structural repairs later. Catching foundation issues early is almost always cheaper than waiting for them to show up in the framing above.

Pre-Listing Inspection
Selling a home is easier when you know what a buyer's inspector will find. A pre-listing inspection lets you fix issues on your timeline, price accurately, and avoid last-minute renegotiations. Fewer deals fall through when buyers see a clean report up front.
11-Month Builder's Warranty Inspection
Most new home builder warranties follow a 1-2-10 structure: one year on workmanship, two on mechanical systems, ten on structural. An 11-month inspection catches defects before that first-year window closes. You walk away with a documented list and photos you can submit to the builder while repairs are still on their dime.
