In North and West Harris County’s explosive 2025 market, new-construction homes in master-planned communities like Bridgeland, Towne Lake, Miramesa, Dunham Pointe, and Amira are selling before the slab is even poured. Builders in Cypress and Tomball are closing homes in 30–45 days, and many buyers are being told “the builder already inspects it” or “it’s still under warranty.” That warranty won’t cover the $8,000–$35,000 surprises we’re finding every week. At Gold Medal Inspections, we perform completely independent new-construction inspections for buyers in North and West Harris County — and 9 out of 10 reports this year have uncovered issues the builder’s punch-list missed.
The Most Common 2025 Cypress/Tomball New-Construction Defects We’re Seeing Right Now
Foundation elevation problems and cracked beams (especially in Bridgeland Sections 30+)
Missing or improperly flashed windows causing hidden water intrusion (Towne Lake & Miramesa)
HVAC ductwork crushed or disconnected in attics (Dunham Pointe & Amira)
Plumbing pressure failures and leaking PEX fittings under slabs
Electrical panels with open knockouts and improper grounding
Missing fire-blocking and insulation gaps that kill energy efficiency
What Our North & West Harris County New-Construction Inspections Include
Full 400+ point TREC inspection of the house
Thermal imaging scan for hidden moisture and insulation voids
Pressure testing of plumbing lines
Elevation survey of the foundation (when accessible)
Detailed builder repair request letter formatted for your sales agreement

Real 2025 Examples from Cypress & Tomball
$18,000 foundation and drainage correction credit secured in Bridgeland

Tips for Cypress & Tomball New-Home Buyers
Schedule your independent inspection — even if the builder says it’s not needed.
Book both a pre-drywall and a final walk-through inspection for maximum leverage.
Use our report before your final walk-through; builders fix far more when the house isn’t already in your name.
