🏡 New Home Turnover? Don’t Miss These 10 Crucial Checks!

Before you accept the keys, inspect with confidence.

Getting the keys to your brand-new home is exciting — but before you celebrate, make sure everything is in top shape. Here's your quick turnover checklist to avoid future headaches:

✅ 10 Things to Check During New Home Turnover

1. Structural IntegrityInspect walls, ceilings, beams, and columns for cracks, leaks, or uneven surfaces.

2. Doors and WindowsOpen and close all doors and windows. They should align properly, lock securely, and be free of drafts.

3. Flooring and TilesCheck for loose tiles, uneven surfaces, or grout gaps. Listen for hollow sounds — a sign of poor bonding.

4. Plumbing SystemTurn on all faucets and showers. Look for leaks, test drainage, and inspect toilet flush systems.

5. Electrical Outlets & LightsTest every switch, socket, and outlet. Make sure lights work and breakers are labeled correctly.

6. Paint FinishScan for uneven paint, bubbles, or peeling. Walls should be clean, smooth, and fully coated.

7. Cabinets & FixturesCheck hinges, handles, and alignment on all cabinets, drawers, and built-in storage.

8. Roof and CeilingLook for water stains, sagging, or poor sealing, especially near roof joints and corners.

9. Ventilation & Exhaust FansEnsure all fans and vents are functioning, especially in bathrooms and kitchens.

10. Water Pressure & HeaterTest both cold and hot water pressure in all faucets. Check if water heaters are installed and working properly.

🔍 Bonus Tip:Document everything with photos or videos. If something seems off, request immediate corrections before signing off.

🛠️ A careful inspection today can save you thousands tomorrow.
