Contractor Warranty Inspections

What Is a Contractor Warranty Inspection?

Also known as an 11-month inspection, a contractor warranty inspection is a full home inspection performed during the final month of your builder’s 12-month warranty period. It identifies defects or workmanship issues that may have developed since you moved in, including:

• Cracks in drywall or foundation
• HVAC system malfunctions
• Plumbing leaks or poor drainage
• Roofing issues or improper flashing
• Electrical concerns or faulty outlets
• Settling or grading issues
• Improper insulation or ventilation
• Window and door alignment problems

We document any deficiencies in a detailed report you can present to your builder while your warranty is still active.

Why It’s Worth It

Many homeowners assume that if something were wrong, they’d already know—but not all issues are visible until they worsen. A contractor warranty inspection:

• Helps you get the most out of your builder’s warranty
• Catches hidden problems before they escalate into expensive repairs
• Provides a professional, unbiased report to give your builder
• Gives you peace of mind that your new home was built to standard
