At Freeman Home Inspections, we provide thorough pre-drywall inspections designed to help buyers, builders, and homeowners ensure quality construction before it’s hidden behind walls. With thousands of inspections under our belt and a deep understanding of building systems, we know what to look for — and what shouldn't be overlooked.

This phase of construction is a critical opportunity to catch mistakes or oversights that could become expensive problems down the road. Our pre-drywall inspections offer confidence and clarity before insulation and drywall go up — when repairs are easiest and most cost-effective.

What We Inspect:

We perform a detailed visual inspection of all visible and accessible areas prior to drywall installation, including:

Framing:
We check for proper alignment, support, fire-blocking, notching, and load-bearing integrity — ensuring the skeleton of the home is built to last.

Plumbing Rough-In:
We examine water lines, drain pipes, venting, and fixture placements for proper installation, slope, support, and code compliance.

Electrical Rough-In:
We inspect wiring, boxes, and panel connections for safe routing, secure fastening, proper spacing, and grounding — catching any potential fire or shock hazards early.

HVAC Rough-In:
We verify duct placement, sealing, airflow pathways, and returns to help ensure efficient and balanced climate control throughout the home.

Fire Safety & Egress:
Inspection of firestopping, draft protection, and egress windows to ensure life-safety standards are met.

Windows & Doors:
We check for proper installation, alignment, flashing, and sealants to prevent future water intrusion or air leakage.

Structural Connections:
Review of truss tie-downs, anchor bolts, strapping, and shear walls for compliance with local building codes and manufacturer specs.

Why Our Pre-Drywall Inspections Stand Out

Many inspectors can walk through a finished home — but fewer have the trained eye to evaluate the quality of what's behind the walls. With our hands-on experience in the field and attention to detail, we don’t just glance over rough-ins — we dig deep to make sure your builder is doing things right the first time.

You’ll receive a detailed, digital report with annotated photos and clear explanations, so you can have informed conversations with your builder or contractor and address concerns before they’re hidden behind drywall.

Schedule your pre-drywall inspection today with Freeman Home Inspections — and make sure what’s behind your walls is built to stand the test of time.
