Pre-Drywall Inspections
Trace Inspections is one of the few inspection firms in the Middle Tennessee area that conducts "Pre-Drywall" inspections. If you are having a new home built, you should consider having a pre-drywall inspection performed. This type of inspection is done once the framing, electrical, and plumbing rough-ins are complete and before the insulation is installed. With this type of inspection, many defects that would normally be covered with insulation and drywall can be discovered.
The most common issues that are found are framing and plumbing problems. Both can cause costly problems in just a few years or typically right after the builder's 1-year warranty is up!
This inspection should be ordered as soon as the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-ins are complete. Be sure to let your builder know that you will have Trace Inspections perform a pre-drywall inspection. Usually, this type of inspection will take an hour or two on-site to complete, but that also depends on the size of the home and the issues that are discovered. Once the inspection is complete, you will receive a letter-type report with the inspection findings, photos, and a recommendation for your next step.
The fee for a Pre-drywall inspection is based on the size and location of the home. Please call or complete our inquiry form on our Contact page for a customized quote. A Pre-drywall inspection typically ranges between $400 and $475 for average size homes in Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, Spring Hill, Columbia, Hendersonville, Murfreesboro, and other locations in the Greater Nashville area of Middle Tennessee. The fee for a larger home over 4,000sf will be quoted based on your specific needs and the complexity of the house. If you have a Pre-Drywall inspection performed by our company we will offer a $25 credit towards the final when performed by Trace Inspections once the home is completed by the builder.
