Building envelope
Accessible roofing, exterior surfaces, windows, and doors are observed for visible concerns and indications of moisture intrusion.
INSPECTION SERVICES
11-Month Warranty Inspections
A fresh look before the first year ends.
A CLEARER VIEW OF YOUR PROPERTY
Make the most of your first-year review.
Newer homes can develop visible issues as materials settle and systems move through everyday use. An inspection near the end of the first year helps you document observable concerns before your builder’s one-year warranty period expires.
What the inspection considers
Systems & finishes
Accessible plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and interior components are reviewed for observable deficiencies and operation where appropriate.
Useful documentation
Inspection findings can help organize a written warranty request and guide conversations with your builder.
Work backward from your written deadline
The service name refers to a useful inspection window, not a promise that every builder offers the same coverage. Review your warranty documents and allow time to submit concerns before the applicable deadline.
Before your inspection
Check the actual warranty expiration date and the builder’s written notice requirements. Schedule with enough time to receive the report and submit your request before the deadline. Warranty coverage is determined by the warranty terms, not by the inspection.
Your preparation checklist
- Confirm your actual warranty expiration date and written notice deadline.
- Keep a list of recurring performance concerns and relevant photographs.
- Schedule enough time for report review and a written request to your builder.
- Retain the builder’s reply and arrange follow-up evaluation where needed.
Questions, answered.
Does the report decide warranty coverage?
No. It records inspection observations. Your builder and warranty documents determine which items are covered.
Should I wait until exactly month eleven?
The timing should allow for report review and your builder’s submission deadlines. Confirm those dates before scheduling.
