PRE DRYWALL Inspection

Pre drywall inspection


Please check out these pictures below  taken from a Pre Drywall inspection Jeff completed not to long ago. This is one of the highest rated builders in the area. This is why you must insist that builders do NOT put up insulation prior to the inspection and give the inspector notice prior to your Pre Drywall walkthrough. Notice the Broken Cross truss support in the attic. Also there most likely will be many open gaps that may be covered up if not fixed prior to insulation.  See full pre drywall report 

The framing inspection, also referred to as the pre-drywall home inspection, is performed prior to the builder installing insulation and drywall.  Jeff typically has 60 pictures to forward on to the builder for attention. Jeff will examine the plumbing, electrical wiring, heating and cooling ducts, the roof structure and roof surface and inspect the installation of the windows and windows pillows. He will observe the structural frame, inspecting each member for a variety of framing errors such as:

  • Unbolted sill plates
  • Over-spanned structural members
  • Inadequate purlins (roof supports)
  • Improper notching and boring
  • Severed plates and interrupted joists
  • Improper fire stops

After your pre drywall Inspection, please do not close on your completed new construction home without an independent home inspector. Jeff has all the credentials and licenses needed that the builders will require.
