Why Final Walkthrough Inspections Are Essential

Even new homes can have last-minute issues — from cosmetic flaws to incomplete repairs.


A professional walkthrough inspection protects your investment by confirming your builder delivered what was contracted.

We verify:

  • Completion of all construction and warranty repairs

  • Functionality of major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical)

  • Cosmetic and finish quality (paint, trim, tile, cabinetry)

  • Proper installation of doors, windows, and fixtures

  • Drainage, grading, and landscaping compliance

  • Appliance operation and safety systems

With Sentinel, you don’t just take possession — you take control.

 Local Expertise That Makes a Difference

Sentinel’s inspectors know the DFW market inside and out — from the slab foundations of Fort Worth to the attic ventilation systems in Frisco. Our deep local knowledge helps identify region-specific issues like:

  • Foundation shifting due to expansive clay soils

  • Attic heat buildup and roof deterioration

  • Drainage and grading problems from heavy storms

  • Aging HVAC systems common in older Dallas suburbs

We tailor every inspection to the area’s unique housing styles, from historic properties in Arlington Heights to new builds in Prosper.

The Sentinel Shield 360™ Final Walkthrough Process

Our Sentinel Shield 360™ methodology turns a rushed closing step into a documented quality-control process.

1. Builder Repair Validation

We cross-check every prior inspection or punch-list item for proper completion.

2. Functional System Testing

All utilities are live-tested for pressure, power, and performance.


3. Finishing & Craftsmanship Audit

We inspect trim, caulking, flooring, and paint consistency.


4. Moisture & Leak Detection

Infrared scanning confirms no hidden plumbing or HVAC condensation issues.


5. Digital Report & Builder Coordination

We deliver a same-day summary with annotated photos and correction recommendations — ready for builder handoff.


Sentinel Shield 360™ means confidence at every level — from soil to structure.
