Before Your Builder Warranty Ends, Know What Needs Attention.
Your new home has had nearly a year of everyday use. An independent 11-month warranty inspection helps document visible defects, performance concerns, and unfinished items before your builder's first-year warranty period expires.
A Smart Checkup Before the Deadline.
Some concerns only become apparent after a home has been occupied through changing weather and regular use. Doors may begin to bind, finishes may crack, drainage issues may appear, or equipment may not operate as intended.
Our inspection provides an independent visual assessment of accessible components, helping you prepare a documented list of observations to discuss with your builder.
When Should You Schedule?
Ideally, allow enough time before the applicable warranty deadline to receive your report, review the findings, and submit any concerns in accordance with your builder's procedures.
What We Look At
We visually assess accessible systems and components within the agreed scope of the inspection.
Roofing & Attic
Visible roof conditions, accessible attic areas, insulation observations, and signs of moisture intrusion.
Exterior & Drainage
Exterior finishes, accessible openings, grading and drainage observations, and visible sealant concerns.
Electrical
Accessible electrical components, representative receptacle testing, and visible installation or operation concerns.
Plumbing
Accessible supply and drain components, fixtures, water heating equipment, and signs of leakage.
Heating & Cooling
Visible HVAC equipment, normal operating functions where conditions permit, and observable condensate concerns.
Interior & Finishes
Doors, windows, walls, ceilings, floors, cabinets, and other accessible components for visible defects.
A Year of Florida Weather Can Reveal a Lot.
Intense rain, high humidity, strong sunlight, and continuous air-conditioning demands can expose issues that were not apparent during the final walkthrough.
We pay attention to observable signs of moisture intrusion, HVAC condensate issues, exterior sealing concerns, and other conditions relevant to Florida homes.
What You'll Receive
Report timing varies by inspection type and any additional services ordered.

11-Month Warranty Inspection FAQs
Is this the same as a new-construction inspection?
No. A pre-closing new-construction inspection assesses observable conditions before you take ownership. An 11-month inspection looks at accessible conditions after the home has been occupied and used.
Does the inspection guarantee my builder will fix everything?
No. We document observations and recommendations. Coverage, claim deadlines, and repairs are governed by your builder's warranty terms.
Should I wait until exactly 11 months?
Not necessarily. Schedule with enough lead time to complete the inspection, review your report, and submit concerns before your applicable deadline.
Can I be present during the inspection?
Yes. We welcome questions and can help explain our observations and report findings.
