Why a Pre-Closing Inspection Matters
Even when a home has already passed a general inspection or appraisal, repairs or final walkthrough items can still be incomplete.
A pre-closing inspection verifies that the property’s condition matches your contract and expectations.
Our inspectors confirm:
All negotiated repairs have been completed properly
Major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) function safely
No new issues have emerged since the initial inspection
Appliances and fixtures operate correctly
The home is move-in ready with no safety hazards
This final step can prevent delays, disputes, or post-closing expenses.
Comprehensive Pre-Closing Inspection Services
Repair Verification
We revisit the property after seller repairs to confirm all items were addressed correctly and safely.
Final Walkthrough Support
Our inspectors accompany you or your Realtor for final verification before signing.
System Function Testing
We test plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and appliances to ensure full functionality before occupancy.
Cosmetic & Finish Review
We note paint, flooring, and trim details that may have been overlooked during renovation or touch-ups.
Documentation & Builder Coordination
When applicable, we provide a clear report you can share with the seller or builder to confirm completion.
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™ Pre-Closing Process
Our Sentinel Shield 360™ process ensures no detail is missed — giving you verifiable documentation before closing day.

2. System Verification
Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems are tested again under operational conditions.
3. Thermal & Moisture Scan

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