🧾 Nova Inspections – Home Inspection FAQs
Q: How long does a home inspection take?
Most Tucson home inspections take between 2–4 hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the home. Larger or more complex properties may take a bit longer to ensure every system and component is thoroughly reviewed.
Q: Do I need to be present during the inspection?
It’s not required, but we highly recommend it! Being present during your home inspection in Tucson allows you to walk through the property, ask questions, and see our findings first-hand. We’ll explain everything clearly so you understand your home’s true condition before receiving your report.
Q: How soon will I get my report?
All Nova Inspections reports are delivered within 24 hours — and often the same day. You’ll receive a clear, organized report outlining our findings, recommendations, and maintenance notes to help you make informed decisions.
Q: What if the inspection finds problems?
Almost every home has issues — even new ones. Our job is to identify and document them clearly so you can negotiate repairs, request builder corrections, or plan future maintenance with confidence. A professional home inspection isn’t about perfection — it’s about knowledge, transparency, and peace of mind.
Q: What areas do you serve?
Nova Inspections proudly serves Tucson, Marana, Vail, Sahuarita, Green Valley, Casa Grande, Rio Rico, Benson and surrounding Southern Arizona communities. Whether you need a home inspection, new construction inspection, or commercial property Inspection or property condition / evaluation, we’ve got you covered.
Q: How far in advance should I schedule?
We recommend booking early — Nova Inspections is currently scheduling new construction inspections into 2026–2028. Early scheduling guarantees your preferred date and ensures your inspection is completed before key builder deadlines or closing dates.
Q: What if my builder or realtor already had an inspection done?
That’s great — but we still recommend hiring an independent Tucson home inspector to protect your interests. A neutral third-party inspection ensures unbiased reporting and identifies any overlooked issues or warranty concerns.
Q: Can I schedule multiple inspections at once?
Yes — and we encourage it! You can combine your home inspection with sewer scope, pool and spa, dryer vent, or air quality testing in one appointment for convenience and value. Nova Inspections makes it easy to handle all your inspection needs in one visit.
Q: What’s included in a blue-tape inspection?
A blue-tape inspection is a detailed new construction walkthrough performed before closing. Nova Inspections carefully marks cosmetic defects, incomplete finishes, or workmanship issues so your builder can correct them before you move in — ensuring your new home is truly ready.
