Protect your new home at every stage of the build
A new construction inspection in Atlanta, GA is an independent check of your newly built home at the stages that matter most: before the drywall goes up, before you close, and before your builder’s warranty runs out. Serenity’s InterNACHI-certified inspectors find construction defects while they’re still your builder’s responsibility to fix.
New doesn’t mean perfect. Builders work on tight schedules with many subcontractors, and the county or city inspector only checks minimum code. Since 2012, our family-owned team has completed more than 12,000 inspections across metro Atlanta. We’re on your side, not the builder’s.
Take a deeper look before the walls go up
A pre-drywall inspection checks your home’s framing, wiring, plumbing, ductwork, and windows after the rough-ins are done but before drywall covers them. It’s the only time you can see what’s inside your walls. Fixing a problem now costs your builder a few hours. Fixing it after drywall can mean tearing walls open.
Schedule your pre-drywall inspection once the framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-ins are finished and the municipal framing inspection has passed. Ideally, this is before insulation goes in.
Ask your builder’s site manager for the “pre-drywall” or “frame walk” date as soon as framing starts. That way, you can book us before the window closes. Book by noon, and we can often get out the same or next day.
Atlanta’s fast building pace means crews move quickly from one home to the next. As a result, we often find missing nail plates over pipes and wires, cut or notched framing, gaps in window flashing, and disconnected or crushed ductwork. Georgia’s humid climate also makes flashing and house wrap details important. Small gaps here can lead to hidden moisture problems later.
A final new construction inspection is a full top-to-bottom check of your finished home before you close. It confirms the builder completed the work and gives you a written repair list while you still have leverage. Once you sign, getting a builder to come back can take much longer.
The builder’s walkthrough (often called the “blue tape” walk) is led by the builder and focuses on cosmetic items. A final inspection is done by an independent inspector who works for you. We check the systems you can’t judge on a quick walk, like the roof, attic, electrical panel, and HVAC. Then, you can bring our report to your walkthrough and add those items to the builder’s punch list.

An 11-month warranty inspection checks your new home for defects that showed up after move-in, while your builder’s warranty still covers them. Most new homes carry a one-year builder warranty on workmanship and materials. Our report gives you a clear, photo-backed list to submit before that coverage ends.
Scheduling at about 11 months leaves you time to send the report to your builder before the one-year warranty ends. After a year of heating, cooling, and Georgia humidity, the home has gone through a full seasonal cycle. That’s when settling, leaks, and system issues tend to show up. Check your warranty paperwork for your exact end date.
You’ll receive a detailed electronic report filled with photos/videos and descriptions of your inspector’s findings in plain language.

Yes. County and city inspectors check that a home meets minimum building code, and they work for the jurisdiction. An independent new construction inspector works for you and looks at workmanship, installation quality, and defects that can pass code but still cause problems.
Schedule it after the framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-ins are done, and before insulation and drywall go in. Ask your builder for the pre-drywall date early, since this window can close in just a few days.
Most builders allow independent inspections, but some set rules on timing, site access, or inspector insurance. Check your purchase agreement and tell your builder’s site manager you’ve hired an inspector. We’re happy to coordinate with them.
Schedule it around 10 to 11 months after closing. This gives you time to send the report to your builder before a typical one-year warranty ends. Check your warranty paperwork for your exact date.
The cost of a new construction inspection depends on which phase you need and the size of your home. Each phase (pre-drywall, final, and 11-month warranty) is priced separately. Homes outside our 60-mile service area may have a small fuel charge. For an exact price, contact us for a free quote.
You’ll get a same-day report with photos and plain-language notes. Send it to your builder so they can make repairs, either before closing or under your warranty. If you’d like, we can come back later to confirm the repairs were done.
