Buying a new construction home in Arizona? Learn how a blue tape walk can help you spot imperfections and ensure your home is truly move-in ready.

Buying a brand-new home in Arizona is exciting but even newly built homes can have minor imperfections. From tiny scratches to unfinished details, small issues can easily be overlooked. That’s why every smart buyer schedules a blue tape walk before closing on their new home.
What is a Blue Tape Walk?
A blue tape walk is a final walkthrough with your builder’s representative before you officially move in. During this process, you’ll mark any imperfections, repairs, or touch-ups with blue painter’s tape. This ensures that nothing is missed and gives the builder a clear checklist to address before you take ownership.
Why It Matters
Even a brand-new home can have minor flaws and catching them early protects your investment. A blue tape walk allows you to:
- Walk through your home with the builder’s representative 
- Mark anything that needs fixing with blue tape 
- Ensure your home is truly move-in ready 
This is your last chance to catch small issues before they become your responsibility.
