11-Month Builder Warranty InspectionYour builder's warranty has a deadline. Beat it.

Most new construction homes come with a one-year builder warranty, and the clock started at closing. An 11-month inspection documents the defects that showed up in your first year of living in the home, so you can submit them to the builder before the warranty expires instead of paying for them yourself in year two.

What We Find

A full visual inspection, timed to your warranty window.

We inspect the home to the same InterNACHI standards as a buyer's inspection, now with eleven months of settling, seasons, and daily use revealing what the pre-closing walkthrough never could. You receive a clear written report formatted so findings are easy to submit to your builder.

01 Common First-Year Issues

  • Settling cracks in drywall and foundations
  • Doors and windows out of alignment
  • HVAC performance and airflow problems
  • Roof, flashing, and gutter defects
  • Plumbing drips and slow leaks
  • Grading and drainage changes

02 What You Receive

  • Full visual inspection, InterNACHI SOP
  • Written report with photos
  • Findings organized for builder submission
  • Plain-language explanations
  • Priorities you can act on quickly
  • Documentation before the deadline
Why Month 11

The last mile of your warranty is the most valuable.

By month eleven the home has been through every season. Issues that were invisible at closing have surfaced, and there's still time to put them on the builder's tab, where they belong.

A Year of Evidence

Eleven months of real living exposes what a pre-drywall or final walkthrough can't: settling, seasonal movement, and systems under real use.

Your Money, Protected

Items documented before the warranty expires are the builder's responsibility to review. Miss the window and those repairs move to your budget.

You Stay in Control

You submit the findings to your builder directly. Our report makes that submission organized, photographed, and hard to dismiss.

Common Questions

Answers before you book.

When exactly should I schedule?

Around the eleventh month after closing, leaving a few weeks to review the report and submit findings before the one-year mark. Booking at month ten is even safer.

Will the builder fix everything you find?

The builder decides what their warranty covers, and acceptance isn't guaranteed. What the inspection guarantees is that you submit a documented, professional list before the deadline.

Is this the same as my final walkthrough?

No. The walkthrough happened before you lived here. This is a full inspection of an occupied home after a year of real use, which is when construction issues actually reveal themselves.
