⏳ Before Your Warranty Ends

11-Month Warranty Inspections

Your builder's first-year warranty clock is running. Find the defects now, while the builder is still responsible.

Use Your Warranty Before It Runs Out

Many new homes come with a builder's warranty for the first year. That first year is also when a home shows its true colors, after a full Florida summer of heat, humidity, and storms.

An 11-month warranty inspection is a full inspection timed just before your first-year coverage ends. It documents defects while the builder is still responsible, with a photo report you can submit with your warranty claims.

Let the Builder Fix the Builder's Mistakes

One inspection can save you from paying for covered repairs.

Hidden Defects

Save on Repairs

Items fixed under warranty cost you nothing.

A Year Reveals What the Walkthrough Didn't

During the first year, framing dries, the house settles, and systems run hard through a Florida summer. Drywall cracks, roof and window leaks, drainage problems, and AC issues often appear in that first year.

One client filed six warranty claims from a single 11-month report. Schedule yours around month 10 or 11, so there's time to submit claims before coverage ends.

A Full Inspection of Your Year-Old Home

Every warranty inspection covers the full home.

  • Roof, flashing & attic
  • Insulation & ventilation
  • Foundation & signs of settling
  • Grading & drainage
  • Plumbing & water heater
  • Electrical panel & outlets
  • Air conditioning performance
  • Drywall, doors, windows & trim
  • Photo report for your warranty claims

“First, it's very important for homeowners under warranty to have an inspection not only before you take possession of your new home but again at least a month before your warranty expires.”
