DR Horton Home Inspection Charlotte

D.R. Horton is the largest homebuilder in the United States, and Charlotte, NC is one of their most active markets. With DR Horton Express, Emerald, and Freedom communities spread throughout Mecklenburg and surrounding counties, thousands of Charlotte buyers purchase DR Horton homes each year. New Charlotte Home Inspections recommends an independent inspection for every DR Horton purchase.

DR Horton's Charlotte Communities

D.R. Horton builds homes in communities throughout the Charlotte metro area, including communities in Concord, Kannapolis, Gastonia, Monroe, Waxhaw, Indian Trail, Mooresville, and Statesville. Their product lines range from entry-level Express homes to premium Emerald series properties. Regardless of the price point, our Charlotte home inspectors find defects that need attention.

What Our Inspectors Find in DR Horton Homes

• Foundation cracks and settlement issues, particularly in Express series homes

• HVAC issues — undersized equipment, disconnected ducts, improper refrigerant charging

• Roof installation deficiencies including improper fastener patterns

• Grading problems that direct water toward the home

• Missing exterior caulking and improper window flashing

• Electrical deficiencies including missing AFCI breakers

• Crawl space moisture and vapor barrier issues

• Improperly installed interior doors that don't latch

Independent Inspection vs. Builder Walk-Through

DR Horton offers a builder orientation walk-through before closing. While this is a good opportunity to learn about your new home, it is not a substitute for a professional home inspection. A builder's representative has a conflict of interest — a professional home inspector working for you has none. Our Charlotte inspectors are InterNACHI certified and work exclusively for the buyer, not the builder.
