Final Inspection Tips

Often times a client will already have their own painter or paint a room themselves . This can cause a minor delay for the final inspections.
Here are some tips for the final inspection. The smallest details are important.

1. All switch plate and outlet covers for the home should be installed. Many times the homeowners or painters will remove these for painting and fail the inspection.
2. Bathroom ceiling fan cover needs to be in place.
3. The permit card needs to be available.
4. The permit drawings need to be available.
5. All new outlets need to be accessible and not covered by furniture.
6. All light fixtures need to be completely installed.
7. And most importantly: All bedrooms need to have (correctly placed – not above a doorway) smoke detectors. In addition every floor needs to have a smoke detector installed. All detectors need to be 10 year rated.
