From fast-growing Collin County suburbs to established Dallas and Fort Worth neighborhoods — NovaScope understands North Texas homes. One visit, same-day report, every time.
NovaScope serves Collin, Denton, Dallas, Tarrant, Rockwall, and Kaufman counties — covering the full DFW metro, from the urban core to the outer growth corridors of North Texas.
Don't see your city? Call — if it's in the DFW metro, we likely cover it.
Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the largest and fastest-growing metro areas in the country. The volume of new construction here — particularly in Collin and Denton counties — is unlike anywhere else in Texas. Entire cities have been built from scratch in the last decade, and they're still going.
That growth comes with a specific inspection profile. New-build quality varies by builder and subdivision, and homeowners across Collin and Denton counties are regularly approaching the one-year mark from their close date — the deadline for the only inspection they're entitled to at the builder's expense.
There's also the soil. North Texas sits on some of the most reactive expansive clay in the country. Slab foundations move here — sometimes significantly. Foundation movement isn't always visible from the surface, which is why the Zip Level survey is a standard recommendation on any DFW home where there's a question.
Frisco, McKinney, Celina, Prosper, Melissa, Anna, and Little Elm are among the highest-volume new-construction submarkets in the country. 11-month warranty inspections are a core service in these areas — book between months 8–11 before builder coverage expires.
Older neighborhoods in East Dallas, Garland, Mesquite, Oak Cliff, and Richardson carry a different inspection profile — 1950s through 1980s construction, aging systems, and foundation movement that has built up over decades. The Older Home / Foundation Bundle is built for this profile.
Fort Worth has its own distinct housing mix — established inner-city neighborhoods alongside fast-growing suburbs like Keller, Southlake, Mansfield, and North Richland Hills. New-build warranty inspections are active throughout Tarrant County, and the clay soil foundation concern applies here just as much as in North Dallas.
The Collin County growth corridor has produced more new homes per year than almost any metro in the country over the past decade — which means thousands of homeowners across Frisco, McKinney, Celina, Prosper, and surrounding suburbs are now approaching or past the 12-month mark from their close date.
The 11-Month Warranty Inspection documents what's still the builder's responsibility — foundation, roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and interior finishes — in a written format you can submit directly to your builder's warranty department before coverage closes.
Book between months 8–11. That leaves time for the builder to respond and schedule repairs before the 12-month deadline.
See the Warranty InspectionThe soil across much of the DFW metroplex is high in expansive clay — it reacts to moisture, and over time that means slab foundations shift in ways that range from cosmetic to structural. It's not a defect specific to any builder or neighborhood. It's the ground.
A standard home inspection documents what's visible at the surface — cracking, sticking doors, sloped floors. What it doesn't do is measure how much the slab has moved or map where the highest elevation differentials are. That requires a Zip Level foundation survey.
Precise elevation readings taken at multiple points across the slab — provides a quantified picture of slab movement that a visual inspection alone cannot give. Available as an add-on to any buyer bundle, or included in the Older Home / Foundation Bundle.
For buyers purchasing in areas with known soil movement concerns — or for any home where the inspector identifies visible foundation indicators — this adds meaningful data to the negotiation and the decision.
