Your Builder's 1-Year Warranty Is Running Out
An 11th-month warranty inspection finds the defects while your builder still has to fix them — not you.
Why the 11th month?
Scheduling your inspection in month 10 or 11 gives you time to receive the report, submit your warranty claims, and get repairs scheduled before the deadline passes. Wait too long and you lose the leverage; the builder's obligation ends whether the defects were found or not.
What you get
-
A complete home inspection — the same scope as a full buyer's inspection
-
Thermal imaging to catch hidden moisture and insulation defects
-
Drone roof imagery documenting flashing, shingles, and penetrations
-
A detailed, photo-documented report formatted for submission directly to your builder
What it costs
Priced the same as a standard home inspection — from $325 based on square footage. One covered warranty repair typically pays for the inspection many times over.
FAQ
When should I schedule? Ideally 10–11 months after your closing date — early enough to file claims before the warranty expires.
Do you help with the builder claim? Your report is written and formatted so you can submit it directly; the photo documentation does the arguing for you.
What if my warranty is longer than one year? Some builders offer 2-year systems or 10-year structural coverage. The 1-year workmanship warranty is the one with the deadline that matters most — that's what this inspection targets.
