Why Every New Home Needs a Professional Inspection

Many homebuyers assume that a brand‑new home — built under the supervision of contractors and city inspectors — is automatically problem‑free. It’s a comforting idea, but it’s not the reality.

New construction homes often hide defects that only surface after you’ve moved in, or worse, after your Tarion Warranty deadlines have passed. A professional inspection protects you from costly surprises.

The Truth About New Homes in Ontario

City building inspectors do visit new construction sites, but their inspections are representative, not comprehensive. They may only check a sample of homes in a development — not necessarily yours.
Meanwhile, builders face tight deadlines, labour shortages, and budget pressures. This can lead to:
• Missed installations
• Poor workmanship
• Hidden safety issues
• Code violations
• Defects concealed once drywall goes up

These issues often remain invisible until a trained inspector examines the home thoroughly.

What Is a Tarion Warranty Inspection?

Ontario’s Tarion New Home Warranty Program protects homeowners from construction defects during specific coverage periods:
• Pre‑Delivery Inspection (PDI)
• 30‑Day Warranty Period
• 1‑Year, 2‑Year, and 7‑Year Warranty Coverage

A Tarion Warranty Inspection is a detailed, third‑party assessment performed by a certified home inspector. Its purpose is simple:
Identify issues while they’re still covered — so you can file a claim before deadlines expire.
This inspection ensures you don’t miss hidden defects that could cost thousands to repair later.
