Why Construction Inspections Are Essential

Protecting your long-term investment value
Sentinel acts as your extra layer of protection — unbiased, thorough, and focused solely on your interests.
Phase-Based Construction Inspection Services
We follow the natural rhythm of the construction process, inspecting critical milestones where issues are easiest to correct.
New Construction Phase Inspection
Don't wait until closing to discover construction problems. Our phase inspections provide independent oversight at critical stages of your new build—foundation, framing, pre-drywall, and final. Catch defects while they're easy to fix and still the builder's responsibility.
Pre-Pour Foundation Inspection
Once concrete is poured, foundation problems are expensive to fix. Our pre-pour inspections verify rebar placement, form alignment, grade preparation, and plumbing rough-in before the pour. This is your last opportunity to ensure your foundation is built correctly from the start.
Framing/Pre-Drywall Inspection
Before walls close up, inspect what you'll never see again. Our framing and pre-drywall inspections evaluate structural framing, electrical rough-in, plumbing lines, HVAC ductwork, insulation, and fire blocking. Find problems while they're still accessible and fixable.
Draw Verification Inspection
Construction lenders need independent verification that work matches payment requests. Our draw inspections confirm completion percentages, document progress with photos, and protect lenders from paying for incomplete work. Professional reports support your lending decisions.
Final Walkthrough Inspection
Before you sign off on your new construction home, get a professional punch list. Our final walkthrough inspections identify cosmetic issues, incomplete items, and defects that need correction before closing. Don't accept your new home until everything meets standards.
Builder Warranty (11-Month) Inspection
Your builder's one-year warranty expires before you know it. At 11 months, issues have had time to develop—foundation settling, drywall cracks, HVAC problems. Our warranty inspection identifies defects to submit for repair while you're still covered. Don't pay for what the builder should fix.
Local Knowledge That Matters
