Can you trust that your brand-new home is truly flawless? Think again. Join us on the Standing Out in Ohio podcast as Laura and I, Jim Troth, unravel the myth of the perfect new construction home. This episode promises to challenge your assumptions, revealing the hidden pitfalls often overlooked in new builds. From unreliable subcontractors to shocking inspection findings, we share our firsthand experiences that underscore the necessity of thorough home inspections, regardless of a home's age.

We recount a recent pre-drywall inspection where our inspector discovered standing water in the basement and dangerous electrical setups, highlighting the unpredictable nature of subcontractor work. Imagine finding beer cans hidden in the attic by workers or a hazardous extension cord in a waterlogged basement. These stories serve as cautionary tales and a wake-up call: never skip a home inspection, even on new properties. Tune in for a compelling discussion on ensuring the safety and quality of your new home, and learn why even new houses can harbor significant issues.
