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.
Comprehensive Final Walkthrough Inspection Services
Pre-Closing Verification
We confirm all agreed-upon repairs and punch-list items are complete before your closing date.
System Performance Testing
Every system — HVAC, plumbing, electrical — is tested for safe, reliable operation.
Cosmetic & Finish Review
We document any visible imperfections in paint, flooring, or fixtures for builder correction.
Appliance & Fixture Testing
We run every built-in appliance and fixture to confirm installation and operation.
Exterior & Drainage Confirmation
We check slope, grading, and exterior components for long-term protection and warranty compliance.
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.

3. Finishing & Craftsmanship Audit
