Your builder's first-year warranty clock is running. Find the defects now, while the builder is still responsible for fixing them.
Many new homes come with a builder's warranty that covers workmanship and materials for the first year. That first year is also when a new home shows its true colors: the house settles, the materials dry, and the systems run through a full season of use.
An 11-month warranty inspection is Brian's full general home inspection, timed just before your first-year coverage ends. It documents any defects while the builder is still responsible, and you receive a detailed, same-day report with photos you can submit with your warranty request.
Brian's reports clearly organize each finding, making it easy for your builder to see exactly what needs attention.
One inspection can save you from paying for repairs the warranty should cover.
Document defects before first-year coverage expires.
A professional report gives your warranty request credibility.
Find issues in attics, crawl spaces, and roofs you'd never check yourself.
Items fixed under warranty are items you don't pay for.
A brand-new home hasn't been lived in or through a full year of Tennessee seasons. During the first year, drywall cracks appear as framing dries, doors start to stick, grading problems show up after heavy rain, and plumbing connections can begin to seep.
Once the warranty period ends, most workmanship repairs become your responsibility. An 11-month inspection makes sure you use the coverage you already paid for.
Check your warranty documents for your exact dates, and schedule your inspection around month 10 or 11 so there's time to submit your request.
Every 11-month inspection covers the full home with attention to first-year issues.
Around months 10 to 11 of ownership, leaving time to submit your request before coverage ends.
Submit it to your builder with your warranty request. The photos and organized findings make the request clear.
