Builders’ 1-Year Warranty Inspections

Most new construction homes come with a one-year builder’s warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship. As this warranty nears its expiration—typically within 60 to 30 days—homeowners have a final opportunity to request repairs from their builder at no additional cost. A One-Year Builder’s Warranty Inspection provides a detailed assessment of the home’s condition, identifying issues that may have developed over the first year, such as settling cracks, HVAC inefficiencies, plumbing leaks, or electrical concerns. Many of these issues can go unnoticed by homeowners until they become costly out-of-pocket repairs.

By having a professional inspection before the warranty expires, homeowners gain a comprehensive report they can present to the builder, ensuring that any necessary fixes are addressed while still under warranty. This proactive step not only protects the home’s long-term integrity but also provides peace of mind, knowing that the property remains in top condition.
