Newer homes still deserve a closer look.
McDonough is one of the newest housing markets on the south side. About a third of its homes were built in 2010 or later, so many buyers here are closing on new construction or a home that is only a few years old. Steadfast Inspectors brings the same thorough, InterNACHI standards inspection to every McDonough home, whether it was finished last month or decades ago.

Henry County is in EPA Radon Zone 2, and about 15% of Henry County homes tested were at or above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. Testing is the only way to know a specific home's level. About radon testing

New doesn't always mean finished right. We look for incomplete work, missing or loose components, and installation details that are easy to miss during a builder walkthrough.
New lots settle. We check how water moves away from the foundation, from downspouts and splash blocks to the slope of the yard, so drainage problems get addressed before closing.
Insulation coverage, attic ventilation, and condensate drainage from the cooling system affect comfort and energy use from day one, so they get a careful look in every newer home.
Steadfast Inspectors serves McDonough from our Fayette County base. Our lead inspector, Ryan Williams, is an InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector and a former homeowners insurance claims adjuster with renovation and construction experience, so your report speaks to repairs, safety, and insurance, not only to what is visible.

Yes. We inspect new builds across McDonough and Henry County before closing, and many owners come back for an 11-month warranty inspection before the builder's one-year warranty ends.
Radon can show up in any home, new or old. UGA Extension reports that about 15% of Henry County homes tested had elevated radon levels. A test during your due diligence period is the only way to know where the home stands.
Book online anytime and the scheduler gives you an exact quote for the property. You can also call or text (404) 341-2151.
You're welcome to. We suggest arriving about two hours after the start time so we can walk you through the key findings with clarity and focus.
That is normal, even for newer homes. No home is perfect, and many findings are routine maintenance. Your report sorts everything by priority, and most buyers use it to negotiate repairs or credits rather than walk away.
By system, with photos and plain explanations. Every finding is marked Immediate Action, Repair Needed, or Maintenance, so you can see at a glance what matters most.
We also inspect homes in Ellenwood and the unincorporated parts of Henry County.
