Though you\u2019re excited about moving into your new home, there is one more item you need to do with your general contractor before the closing. That is, conduct a final walk through inspection of the home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If you, or your bank, wait to the very last minute you may either not be closing on the date you planned on, or accepting the keys to a home that is not completely finished.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">And if you do accept the keys before the home is complete to your level of satisfaction you may be a long time waiting for it to do so. In fact, you may never see your general contractor again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So make sure you talk with your general contractor well in advance of your closing date to schedule a final walk through inspection, and that you\u2019ve communicated to him that you will not go to closing until the walk through is done and the home is complete to your satisfaction. This way there will be no surprises for anyone just days before the closing.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Summarized below is a checklist for conducting a final walk through inspection of a home.\u00a0Be sure to have a paper and pencil with you when conducting your final walk through inspection so that you can write down any issues you find.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Final Walk Through Checklist \u2013 Outside the Home<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Start by walking around the exterior of the home.

In addition, check that all outdoor lights turn on and off properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Next, check the yard to see if the finished area around the home is seeded with grass and meets what was described to be done for lawn in the original Purchase and Sales agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Also make sure any shrubs that were supposed to be installed were indeed done.

The last thing you wanted is a flooded out basement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Lastly, relative to the outside of the home, make sure the driveway was installed properly and to your satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Final Walk Through Checklist \u2013 Inside the Home<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Now it is time to move on to the interior of the home.

Again, look for any foundation cracks and make sure there is no water in the basement. Also, make sure the basement has been thoroughly cleaned out and broom swept. In addition, make sure all of the electrical wiring and plumbing is neat and properly secured. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Moreover, make sure any major beams are sitting squarely and flatly in foundation sockets. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"50%\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<div style=\"background: url('http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/images\/Home_Addition_form_Ad_Small_rev1.jpg') no-repeat top; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; height: 190px; width: 275px;\">\n<form action=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/UHI-info\/Additions.htm#form\" method=\"get\"><input style=\"float: left; width: 80px; margin: 110px -255px 50px 165px;\" name=\"PC\" size=\"20\" type=\"text\" \/><br \/>\n<input style=\"float: right; background: url('http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/images\/homeadditionplus-btn-next.gif'); height: 34px; width: 91px; border: 0px solid #000000; ; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 25px; margin-top: 130px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" type=\"submit\" value=\"\" \/><\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I have personally seen beams literally floating in foundation sockets due to the fact that the Lally columns were either placed too high or the foundation socket not put in the right location. Also check for cross bracing between basement ceiling joists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Make sure the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/heating\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\">HVAC system<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span> is fully operational and that you understand how to use it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Moving up to the main living areas of the home, check to see if the floors squeak by bouncing up and down on them. If they do, additional cross bracing in the basement may be required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Inspect all of the finished living area walls to make sure the paint is the color you wanted and that there are no marks on them. Also check for any cracks or nail pops in the drywall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Similarly, check the floors to see that the flooring has been installed to your requirements. If there are any ceramic tile floors make sure there are no cracks in the tiles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Next, check all electrical outlets and switches to make sure they work correctly. This is where you circuit tester or small appliance may come in handy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Check the kitchen to make sure all the kitchen appliances are what you expected and that they all operate. Also open and close all kitchen drawers and cabinets to make sure they work properly and that there are no loose hinges or other mechanical hardware. Test the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/electrical\/what-is-ground-fault-circuit-breaker\/\"><strong>GFCI outlets<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span> as well, if there are any in the kitchen. If there are none visible in the kitchen, make sure to look at the main circuit panel to see that the kitchen outlets are on a Ground Fault circuit breaker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When inspecting the bathrooms make sure all of the plumbing fixtures operate by turning on the faucet handles and flushing the toilet. Moreover, check the shower\/tub and sink bowl for any cracks or damage. Also make sure the ceiling light\/fan works. Test the GFCI outlets as well, if there are any in the bathroom. If there are none visible in the bathroom, make sure to look at the main circuit panel to see that the bathroom outlets are on a Ground Fault circuit breaker.\u00a0Lastly, check all of the smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors and make sure you test their alarms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Once you\u2019ve completed your walk through inspection go over your list of issues with your general contractor. After the contractor has resolved all of the issues, go back and do another walk through inspection to see that he has indeed made the fixes to your satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">To conclude, it is vital that you do a thorough walk through inspection a few days before the closing. This will allow the contractor time to resolve any issues you uncover so that the closing does not have to be delayed. Also, even though the contractor may provide a warrantee on his work, you will have much more leverage getting him to complete the work to your satisfaction prior to giving him his final payment than afterwards.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: large;\"><b>For more help on building a home addition<\/b><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">, see HomeAdditionPlus.com&#8217;s<b> <a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Home Addition Bid Sheets<\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN\">. <\/span><\/b>Our\u00a0<b><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Home Addition Bid Sheets<\/span><\/a> <\/b>provide you with the knowledge and information on how to plan a home building project, and what to look for when hiring contractors.
