Ensures quality workmanship and protects your investment
Catch shortcuts: Even experienced builders can make mistakes or cut corners, especially with subcontractors. An inspector can identify issues such as improperly installed materials, shoddy insulation, or substandard plumbing and electrical work before they are covered up by walls and finishes.
Prevent long-term damage: An independent review can spot hidden problems that might lead to expensive repairs down the road, like poor drainage, water intrusion, or improperly sealed windows
Independent evaluation: Since the private inspector has no financial stake in the renovation's completion, their assessment is completely objective. This is a critical check and balance against potential conflicts of interest between your builder and municipal inspectors.
Serves your interests: The private inspector is hired by and accountable to you, ensuring that the work is completed to a high standard, not just the minimum required by code.
Supplements code inspections: The municipal code inspector only ensures the work meets minimum safety and building standards, and they are typically not liable for oversights. A private inspector provides a more thorough review for quality assurance.
