Peace Of Mind Home Inspections

🏠 Buying a Brand-New Home?

A new home can pass required code inspections and still have items that need attention.

During one of my recent new-construction inspections, I documented several issues—including garage-to-home door gaps, missing fasteners, a steep exterior grade, exposed wood at the garage separation wall, and other construction details.

New doesn’t mean perfect.

See the actual inspection photos and read why an independent inspection before closing can be valuable:

🔧 Before you make the final payment for home repairs, make sure the work was actually completed.

Whether you’re buying a home or you already own one, Peace of Mind Home Inspections can perform a repair verification inspection after contractors complete repairs or improvement work.

A repair verification can help document whether visible repairs were completed, whether previously reported concerns were corrected, and whether additional issues remain. This can be useful for roof repairs, crawlspace work, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, moisture repairs, exterior work, and other home improvement projects.

Don’t rely only on a receipt or a contractor saying the job is finished. Have the completed work independently checked before you release final payment.

🏠 Buying a brand-new manufactured home? Don’t skip the inspection.

New doesn’t always mean defect-free. Manufactured homes are transported, set in place, connected to utilities, and finished on-site — and problems can happen during any of those steps.

During a recent inspection of a 2025 manufactured home, I found several items that still needed attention before the buyer moved in.

Reporting Upon the Roof Covering Materials - a closer look at how we document roof details. 🏠🔍📄🛠️

Per InterNACHI® Standards of Practice, I inspect and report on the roof-covering materials I can see from the ground or eaves - shingles, tiles, metal panels, or built-up coverings. I don’t report on underlayment, fasteners, decking, or other parts that aren’t readily visible during a visual inspection. Knowing what’s in scope helps buyers read reports with realistic expectations before closing.

With 20+ years in construction, I focus on clear, standards-based digital reports that educate you and help you make confident decisions. Have a roof question or a home you’re looking at in South Carolina? Ask below - I’ll help walk you through it.
