Wellness Way corridor

Where you’re building

Wellness Way sits just off SR-429 and US-27, minutes from Clermont, Minneola, and Winter Garden.

Fast-growing streets of new builds mean a lot of homes finishing at once. Booking early lines each inspection up with the right stage of your build — and you can start scheduling as soon as you’re under contract with the builder.

Inspections for Wellness Way

Three inspections, timed to your build

Pre-drywall, blue tape walk and 11-month: book the phase you’re at, or bundle all three and save.

1 Phase 1

Pre-Drywall Inspection

When: After framing, roofing, and the rough-ins (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are in — but before insulation and drywall seal everything behind the walls.

This is the only window to verify the home’s structural bones and connections. Once drywall covers it, the entire load path is hidden for good — and a framing fix that costs nothing today can cost real money later.

  • Hurricane straps, clips and fasteners
  • Framing, undercut studs that leave gaps, fire blocking
  • Rough plumbing: venting, drain slope, cleanouts
  • Electrical rough-in: grounding, nail plates
  • Roof and truss issues
from $500

2 Phase 2

Blue Tape Walk / Final (Pre-Closing)

When: When the builder says the home is “complete” — right before your final walkthrough and closing.

A complete, top-to-bottom inspection of the finished home, the same thorough inspection we’d do on any home, on a brand-new one. You get a detailed report to hand the builder for a punch list before you sign — and your leverage is never higher than it is right now.

  • Roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC
  • Appliances, windows and doors
  • Grading and drainage
  • Finishes, cracked tile, outlets that don’t work
from $400

3 Phase 3

11-Month Builder Warranty Inspection

When: About one month before your builder’s one-year warranty expires — usually around month eleven.

Most builders include a one-year warranty. An inspection at the 11-month mark documents everything that has surfaced in the home’s first year, so you can submit the list and get it fixed while the builder is still on the hook. Miss the window and those repairs become yours.

  • Settlement cracks and nail pops
  • Drainage issues after a rainy season
  • HVAC and moisture problems
  • Sticking doors and exterior wear
from $400

We offer pay at close on these 3 bundles — see how it works

Flexible payment

Pay at close: a $50 third-party setup fee

Defer your inspection payment until you close on your home. A $50 third-party setup fee is charged when you sign up for Pay at Close; your inspection fee is then paid by your title company at closing.

Cut down upfront expenses

One less out-of-pocket expense during the buying process, so you can focus on the excitement of your new home.

Eliminate scheduling stress

Add a thorough inspection and any extra services you need without worrying about paying it all upfront — roll the cost into closing.

The $50 setup fee

A $50 third-party setup fee is charged when you sign up for Pay at Close. It sets up your title company to direct the inspection fee to the closing agent, and the invoice is handled directly with your closing company or attorney.

How pay at close works

  1. Book your inspectionSchedule with Four Corners and let us know you’d like to Pay at Close.
  2. Sign a simple agreementYou’ll complete a short Pay at Close agreement, and pay the $50 third-party setup fee at sign-up — we walk you through it at booking.
  3. Pay when you closeYour inspection fee is paid through your title company at closing. We coordinate the details so you don’t have to.

Pay at Close is administered through our inspection software partner, Spectora. Full terms are provided in the agreement at booking.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to what new-home buyers ask us most.

Can the builder stop me from hiring my own inspector?
No. You have every right to hire an independent inspector for a home you’re buying. A reputable builder welcomes it; pushback is a reason to be more thorough, not less.
When should each inspection be scheduled?
The pre-drywall inspection happens after rough-ins but before drywall — your builder can tell you the date, and it moves fast, so book early. The final inspection is right before closing. The warranty inspection should be done around month 11, before your one-year builder warranty expires.
Why inspect a home that already passed the county inspection?
County inspectors verify minimum code, often in 15 to 30 minutes, and they don’t work for you. An independent, InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector does a far more thorough review with your interests as the only priority.
How much does a new construction inspection cost?
Pricing is determined by the square footage of the home. It’s transparent, quoted up front, and scales with the size of the home and the phase. Pre-drywall inspections start at $500, final/pre-closing and 11-month inspections start at $400, and our bundles save you 10%. Get a fast quote on your specific home.
What is a pre-drywall inspection?
It’s an inspection done after the rough-in stage but before insulation and drywall go up, so the framing, wiring, and plumbing can be examined while they’re still visible. It’s your only chance to see what’s about to be sealed inside your walls.
When should I get an 11-month inspection?
About one month before your builder’s one-year warranty expires — usually around month eleven — so any issues can be submitted to the builder while repairs are still covered.
Is there a discount for booking multiple inspections?
Yes. We offer bundled pricing when you book multiple inspections together (for example, pre-drywall plus final and 11-month), which saves you money compared to booking each one separately. We also offer a pay-at-close option on eligible inspections. You can start scheduling as soon as you’re under contract with the builder — the earlier we’re on your calendar, the easier it is to line up each inspection with the right stage of construction.
