New does not always mean complete. Lindsay Lake Inspections provides independent new-construction inspections in Aroostook County to help homeowners document visible concerns before final acceptance or the end of a builder-warranty period.
An independent set of eyes
Construction involves many trades working on tight schedules. An independent inspection can identify visible installation defects, incomplete items, damage, or systems that deserve further evaluation. Our role is to document observed conditions clearly; the inspection is not a municipal code inspection and does not replace required permits or approvals.
When to schedule
- Before final walkthrough: document visible conditions while the builder can still address punch-list items.
- Before closing: better understand the home and its installed systems before taking ownership.
- Before the warranty expires: identify visible concerns that may qualify for builder review while warranty coverage remains.
What we review
The inspection covers visible and accessible roofing, exterior, structure, foundation, attic, insulation, electrical, plumbing, heating, interiors, windows, doors, installed appliances, drainage, and related components. You receive a clear digital report with photos, normally within 24 hours, so you can organize questions and repair requests.
Testing options for a new home
A newly built house can still benefit from radon testing. Properties with private wells may also need water testing. If applicable, we can discuss sewer-scope inspections and other inspection services.
