This inspection conforms to the Standards of Practice of the State of Oregon and is a visual inspection of the readily accessible areas and components of the home at the time of the inspection.

This home is new construction. Please review this report closely to determine if any item or component was not inspected due to incomplete work or no utilities. It is common that a new home can need painting or caulking again within the first 5 years due to normal shrinkage and new material. Settlement cracks found in homes usually occur within the first three years. Most builders give a one year warranty on materials and labor. For this reason, please consider another inspection within one year to get the most out of your warranty with your builder.
