August 19, 2025

Here’s why the home inspection matters so much!

Building an affordable new home in central Maryland is possible. With Ameri-Star Homes, it is possible to build a high-quality new construction home in a new home community or on an individual lot. While we are known for high-quality home construction, we do want you to be satisfied and have the assurance that you are getting the best deal possible. Many ask, “Do I need a home inspection on new construction?” It’s a great question, and we’re here to answer it.

Yes, You Do Need a Home Inspection on New Construction

Check Your Work

A home inspection is crucial to verifying the quality of your new home construction before you move in. One great time to get a home inspection is pre-drywall, when you can still see the bare bones of the house and its inner workings. Another excellent time for a home inspection is pre-settlement, before you move in. It helps to have an extra set of eyes to check the builder’s work before moving on.

Fix Mistakes Before They Become Problems

You never know if a builder made a mistake, even if it’s a minor one. Even small mistakes can cause big problems down the line, ruining a part of your home and risking your safety. Don’t wait until mistakes become hazards. A home inspection can prevent the preventable.

Have Peace of Mind

Even if you trust the integrity and skill of your new home builder, a home inspection is still reassuring. This professional checkover is like a last assurance that your home is ready for you and won’t require any necessary repairs later on.

What If Your Builder Offers a Pre-Settlement Home Inspection?

Talk with your new home builder about whether or not they offer home inspections before you move in. With Ameri-Star Homes, your home will come with a pre-settlement home inspection. Even then, it is also okay if you want another home inspection to make doubly sure of the work.

Ameri-Star Homes offers more than just one pre-settlement home inspection, though. We also provide multiple warranties, including a quality 10-year limited home warranty, and a one-year walkthrough to fix any builder issues. Ameri-Star Homes offers peace of mind with every build.
