BLUE-TAPE INSPECTION
Blue tape walk-throughs can be stressful if you go in blind. So you’ll want to have an expert on your side to ensure you get everything you need from the builder of your new home by the time you’re ready to move in.
​
-
A blue tape walk-through (aka a blue tape inspection) allows home buyers to identify any incomplete work, defects or other issues on a newly constructed home before closing. A typical blue tape walk-through can take 1 to several hours to complete and is mainly dependent on the size of the home.
​
What Gets Inspected During a Blue Tape Walk-through?
Every surface is inspected for quality and completeness during a blue tape walk-through. The walk-through might begin outside the house, where you’ll inspect the home’s exterior, landscaping, lighting, fences, and more. Then, you’ll go inside the home, where you’ll want to inspect everything from floors and ceilings to windows and doors.
​
The Blue Tape Is Your Green Light!
Blue tape walk-throughs ensure buyers and home builders are on the same page – and that the home is move-in ready. The tape might be blue, but you can think of the blue tape walk-through as your green light to close.
​
*Blue Tape Inspection is a cosmetic inspection, which is not included in a standard TREC inspection.
