Why an 11-Month Inspection?

Buying a brand-new home is exciting. Everything is fresh, shiny, and built just for you. But even the best-built homes aren’t perfect. That’s why most builders offer a one-year warranty — to cover defects or issues that might pop up after you move in.

The problem? Many homeowners don’t realize they should take full advantage of that warranty before it’s too late. That’s where the 11-month warranty inspection comes in.

What is an 11-Month Warranty Inspection?

An 11-month warranty inspection is a professional home inspection done during the eleventh month of your builder’s one-year warranty. It’s your last chance to have a licensed inspector go through your home with a fine-tooth comb, spotting issues that your builder is responsible for fixing before your warranty expires.

Why It’s Important

1. Catch Problems Early
   Even brand-new homes can have defects — sometimes hidden ones you won’t notice until it’s too late. Issues like small foundation cracks, roof defects, faulty wiring, or plumbing leaks can be identified before they turn into costly repairs.

2. Maximize Your Warranty Coverage
   Once your one-year builder warranty ends, repairs come out of your pocket. If a defect is found during the inspection, your builder is typically responsible for correcting it — saving you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

3. Get an Unbiased Assessment
   A professional inspector works for you, not the builder. They provide an honest evaluation so you know exactly what needs attention before your warranty period runs out.

4. Peace of Mind
   Even if no major issues are found, you’ll feel confident knowing your home is in good shape and any concerns have been addressed.

What’s Checked During the Inspection?

A thorough 11-month warranty inspection typically covers:

• Foundation and structural components

• Roofing and attic

• HVAC systems

• Electrical systems

• Plumbing systems

• Windows and doors

• Interior and exterior finishes

Your inspector will provide a detailed report you can give to your builder for repairs.
