Austin, TX Right Now — What Buyers & Homeowners Should Know
Austin continues to grow fast—new construction on the edges, remodels in established neighborhoods, and older homes competing with fresh builds. That mix matters during inspections because the risks are different: older properties can hide “legacy” issues, while brand-new homes can still have missed steps that get covered up quickly.
The goal of an inspection isn’t to nitpick—it’s to identify the items that change safety, performance, and cost. We focus on conditions that tend to impact negotiations and repair planning in the Austin market.
Common Inspection Issues We See Around Austin
- Drainage & grading problems that can drive moisture at foundations.
- Roof wear & flashing details (especially around penetrations, valleys, and repair patches).
- HVAC performance gaps—airflow, temperature split, and install defects that show up in Texas heat.
- Electrical safety items (panel concerns, improper modifications, missing GFCI/AFCI where required).
- Plumbing leaks & amateur repairs under sinks, at water heaters, and in remodel transitions.
- New construction “misses” before drywall/finish—improper penetrations, incomplete sealing, and drainage shortcuts.

Most inspections take 2–4 hours depending on property size/condition. Larger or older homes can take longer.

Yes. We pay close attention to safety items and “mixed-era” systems common in renovated homes (electrical, plumbing, attic/roof work, and prior repairs).

Best checkpoints: pre-pour (before concrete), pre-drywall (before insulation/sheetrock), and final (before closing).
When should I book an 11-month builder warranty inspection?
Most homeowners schedule around month 10 so there’s time to document issues and submit warranty claims before the deadline.

Yes—pool & spa, septic (non-invasive), and lawn irrigation can be bundled with your inspection.
