Don’t Miss Your Warranty Window
Most new homes come with a one-year builder warranty covering defects in materials, workmanship, and certain systems. An 11-month warranty inspection helps identify issues while your coverage is still active giving you time to request repairs before the deadline.
Why Schedule an 11-Month Inspection?
As your home moves through all seasons, hidden problems can begin to appear. Minor deficiencies often go unnoticed until they become costly. An inspection near the end of your warranty period allows you to:
✔ Catch defects before coverage ends
✔ Address issues early — not after repairs become your expense
✔ Gain a clear, unbiased assessment of your home’s condition
✔ Document concerns for your builder
What We Commonly Evaluate
Your inspection is a comprehensive visual assessment of accessible areas and major systems, including:
Roof & Exterior
• Roofing materials and flashing
• Drainage and grading
• Exterior finishes and penetrations
Structure & Interior
• Settlement indicators and cracking patterns
• Doors, windows, and finishes
• Stairs, railings, and visible framing concerns
Attic & Insulation
• Insulation levels and distribution
• Ventilation conditions
• Moisture indicators
Electrical & Safety
• Representative outlets, switches, fixtures
• GFCI / AFCI protection where present
• Visible safety concerns
Plumbing & Moisture
• Fixtures and visible piping
• Drainage performance
• Leakage or moisture indicators
Why Issues Often Appear After Move-In
New homes naturally experience movement as materials dry, temperatures fluctuate, and the structure adjusts. This can reveal:
• Nail pops and drywall cracks
• Minor settlement or trim gaps
• Ventilation or insulation irregularities
• Moisture-related conditions
• Incomplete or overlooked finishes
Not all findings indicate major problems but distinguishing normal conditions from defects requires trained evaluation.
Clear Reports. Practical Information.
You receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report outlining:
• Observations and concerns
• Supporting photos
• Maintenance notes where helpful
• Items to discuss with your builder
Book Before Your Warranty Expires
Timing matters. Scheduling your inspection before the warranty deadline ensures you have adequate time to review findings and coordinate with your builder.
