One Trusted Inspector, Every Critical Stage
New construction isn't a single inspection — it's a series of milestones, each of which hides the previous one. The foundation covers the soil, the drywall covers the framing, the finishes cover the systems. Inspecting at each stage is the only way to verify the whole home was built right.
Closer Look's concierge phase service coordinates the full sequence for you: pre-pour, pre-drywall, pre-close (final), and the 11-month builder's warranty inspection. You get the same trusted Certified Master Inspector following your build from start through your first year of ownership.
It's the most complete protection available for a new home. Instead of hoping each phase was done right, you have documented, professional verification at every stage that matters — and one point of contact who knows your home's entire history.
What the Concierge Phase Service Includes
A coordinated sequence of inspections spanning your entire build and first year of ownership.
Phase 1 — Foundation / Pre-Pour
Before the concrete is poured, we verify footings, reinforcement, and the vapor barrier — the permanent base of your home that can never be redone once cured.
Phase 2 — Pre-Drywall
After rough-ins and before drywall, we evaluate framing, wiring, plumbing, and mechanical systems while they're still visible — the last look inside your walls.
Phase 3 — Pre-Close / Final
Before you sign at closing, we perform a complete evaluation of the finished home and build a punch list of items for your builder to correct while it's still their responsibility.
Phase 4 — 11-Month Warranty
Just before your one-year warranty expires, we re-inspect the lived-in home and document defects that emerged during the first year — so the builder repairs them on their dime.

Three Reasons Buyers Choose Concierge Phase Service
Building a home is a huge investment. Verifying every stage is how you protect it.
Nothing Gets Sealed In
Each construction phase hides the one before it. Inspecting at every milestone means no defect gets permanently covered up without an expert catching it first.
One Inspector Who Knows Your Home
The same Certified Master Inspector follows your build from foundation to warranty. That continuity means your inspector knows your home's full history — not just a single snapshot.
Maximum Leverage, Every Stage
At each phase, issues are the builder's responsibility to correct. Documented findings at every milestone keep the pressure — and the accountability — where it belongs.
Why Central Florida New-Home Buyers Trust Closer Look
Following an entire build takes a credentialed inspector you can rely on from start to finish. Here's what sets Closer Look apart:
- Certified Master InspectorKeith Wilson holds the Certified Master Inspector designation — the highest credential in the home inspection industry, requiring thousands of completed inspections, continuing education, and a verified track record. Most inspectors never reach this level.
- Licensed Florida Mold AssessorFlorida's humidity makes mold a real risk. Keith is a Florida Licensed Mold Assessor, so any suspected moisture or mold issue found during your service can be properly evaluated without bringing in a separate vendor.
- FAA-Licensed Drone Roof Inspection — IncludedSteep, multi-story, or tile roofs that can't be safely walked still get full aerial documentation as part of every full inspection. No additional charge, no skipped roof areas, no guesswork.
- Insurance Reports Included at No ChargeWind mitigation and 4-point insurance reports are included with every full home inspection — saving you the $150 to $300 other inspectors charge for these reports separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Central Florida property owners want to know before scheduling.
What's included in the concierge phase service?
A coordinated sequence of inspections across your build: pre-pour (foundation), pre-drywall, pre-close (final), and the 11-month builder's warranty inspection. Each stage is documented, and the same inspector follows your project throughout.
Can I customize which phases I want?
Yes. While the full sequence gives the most complete protection, we can tailor the service to the phases that matter most for your build. Call us and we'll put together the right plan.
How does scheduling work across a year-long build?
We coordinate each visit around your builder's timeline. You let us know as each milestone approaches, and we handle the scheduling so no critical stage is missed.
Is this better than a single final inspection?
For a new build, yes — a single final inspection can't see the foundation, framing, or rough-ins that are already covered up. Phase inspections verify the parts of your home that become permanently hidden.
Do I get a report after each phase?
Yes. Each phase produces its own documented report with photos, so you and your builder can act on findings at every stage of construction.
Do you serve my city in Central Florida?
Yes — we serve the entire greater Orlando metro, including Orlando, Winter Garden, Horizon West, Lake Nona, Windermere, Clermont, Winter Park, Saint Cloud, Ocoee, Davenport, and all communities across Orange, Osceola, Lake, Polk, Seminole, Volusia, and Sumter counties.
