Your personal Site Builder and Sales Counselor will schedule a meeting for you to review your personal selections and walk your homesite, which is a great opportunity to ensure everyone is on the same page!

Mechanical rough-ins are installed and inspected: plumbing, HVAC, and electrical
FRAMING TOUR
This is your opportunity to walk through your home with your Site Builder before the drywall is installed. They will point out to you exactly what is in the “skeleton” of your home!
INTERIORS
Your home is coming alive with your personal selections: we install interior trim and doors, insulation, wallboards, paint, fireplace, cabinets, ceramic tile, flooring, final interior finishes, appliances, and all final municipal mechanical inspections take place.
EXTERIOR
Your yard needs to look great, too! We complete your landscaping package and sod.
MEASUREMENTS MEETING
Schedule an appointment with your Sales Counselor for measuring windows for blinds, space for appliances, furniture pieces, and more. Make sure everything will fit in your new home!
PREPARE FOR CLOSING
We’re almost there – just some final cleaning and building inspections (QCI) by your builder. It’s time to have the utilities transferred into your name!
ORIENTATION
The final walkthrough takes place the day you close on your Napolitano Home. Your Site Builder will take you on a tour and explain the many features of your new home.
CLOSING!
You did it! You visited the closing attorney after the Orientation Meeting and you received the keys to your brand new Napolitano Home!
12 WEEK POST-CLOSING INSPECTION
Your first warranty review should be held around 12 weeks after closing. This is considered an adequate amount of time for you to become thoroughly familiar with your new home. Should you have any warranted issues to report at this time, you may list them on the 12 Week Review Form, at our website or email your list to our warranty department.
11 MONTH POST-CLOSING INSPECTION
Your second warranty review can be held after you have lived in your home for 11 months. This review follows the same process as your 12 Week Warranty Review. This is another opportunity for us to address any issues you may have with your home.
A LOT TO DIGEST?
We know all these steps may seem a bit overwhelming. But don’t worry! Your Site Agent and everyone at Napolitano Homes is here to help answer your questions and make this process as easy for you as possible. You will also receive this schedule in your Orientation Package to refer to as we move with you through the steps towards your completed home.
