11-Month Warranty Inspection

A full-inspection-equivalent visit timed just before your builder's one-year warranty expires.

What This Inspection Covers

An 11-Month Warranty Inspection is timed just before your builder's one-year warranty expires, so you can file a claim while it's still covered. It pays extra attention to settling-related issues, using the same scope as a Full Residential Inspection.

What's Checked

  • •The same categories covered in a Full Residential Inspection
  • •Drywall cracks consistent with normal settling
  • •Drainage and grading changes since move-in
  • •Seal and alignment issues around doors, windows, and fixtures
  • •Items worth flagging to the builder before the warranty window closes

Who It's For

This inspection is for new-construction homeowners approaching the end of their builder's one-year warranty period, so any settling-related issues can be documented and addressed while still covered.

Important to Know

This is a visual inspection only, not a municipal or code inspection, engineering certification, or guarantee. It does not replace your local building department's own inspections.
