New Construction Final & 11-Month Warranty Inspections
One Call, One Appointment, Complete Peace of Mind.
Buying a brand-new home doesn’t mean it’s perfect. Even new construction can hide costly defects behind fresh paint and drywall. Whether your home is days from closing or approaching the end of your builder’s warranty, a professional inspection protects your investment—and gives you leverage to get repairs handled before it’s too late.
Final Inspection (Pre-Closing)
Your last chance to make the builder make it right.
​
Before you close, the builder is still 100% responsible for the property. This is your best window to find issues that will cost you later—while they’re still obligated to fix them.
Common problems found during final inspections:
​
-
Roof flashing not properly sealed
-
Missing insulation in attic or walls
-
Damaged trusses or framing defects
-
Electrical safety concerns or reversed polarity
-
HVAC or plumbing systems not operating correctly
-
Drainage or grading issues causing standing water
-
Cosmetic “touch-ups” hiding functional problems
​
Once you sign, it’s on you to deal with anything missed.
​
👉 Bottom line: The final inspection is more important than the 11-month warranty inspection because the builder has no reason to argue with your findings—they still own the responsibility.
At the 11-month mark, the builder can (and often does) claim that damage or wear is due to occupancy, not workmanship. That means no repair, no warranty claim, no recourse.
11-Month Warranty Inspection
Your final safety net before your warranty expires.
​
Even if you had a final inspection, homes settle and systems get used daily. The 11-month inspection catches defects that showed up after move-in—while the builder is still responsible for them under your one-year warranty.
​
Typical findings:
-
Foundation settlement or drywall cracking
-
Door and window alignment issues
-
Leaks around plumbing fixtures
-
HVAC performance issues
-
Roof flashing or sealant failure
​
This is your last chance to file a warranty claim before it’s on your dime.
