Organize your questions before your deadline

Use the findings when contacting the builder or arranging specialist evaluation. Check the submission date and instructions in your own warranty; the inspection does not determine coverage or guarantee repairs.

We do not determine warranty coverage or guarantee repairs. Warranty terms, builder decisions, and any dispute process are separate from the inspection. Read the inspection scope and standards.

YOUR INSPECTION, EXPLAINED

Questions about your inspection

How long will the inspection take?

Typically about 2½–3 hours. The home’s size, age and accessibility to major systems can make the visit shorter or longer.

Is this always an 11-month inspection?

No. The 11th month is a common planning point for a one-year builder warranty, but you can arrange an inspection earlier. Your builder’s written coverage and submission deadlines determine the date to work toward.

Can you confirm the builder fixed an item?

A follow-up inspection can document the visible, accessible condition of specific items after a repair. It cannot verify work hidden behind finished surfaces or guarantee the repair will never fail. Share the original findings and repair details so we can agree on what to recheck.

Is this a home warranty policy?

No. A Builder’s Warranty Inspection documents visible, accessible conditions to discuss with your builder. It does not provide warranty coverage or decide which repairs are covered. Check your actual warranty terms and submission instructions.

How much does a Builder’s Warranty Inspection cost?

Our published price guide starts at $550 for homes up to 1,999 sq ft. Property details and requested services affect the total; review your property-specific quote before booking. Both 4 Point and Wind Mitigation reports are included at no additional inspection charge with a full inspection under 4,000 sq ft. At 4,000 sq ft or more, standalone insurance rates apply.

Should I wait until the last month of my warranty?

No. Book while there is still time to inspect, review the report and submit concerns through your builder’s required process. Booking an inspection does not extend the warranty or its submission deadline.

What should I tell the inspector about changes since move-in?

Share recurring leaks, cooling concerns, cracks or doors that have changed, including where and when you notice them. Photos and relevant builder correspondence add context to the review of accessible conditions.

Optional: property records and local guidance for Boca Raton

Looking into earlier renovations or gathering documents? These resources can help. You do not need to complete this research to book your inspection. Share what you have and ask us about the rest.

An early repair can explain a later question

Builder repair notes, earlier inspection findings and recurring observations can help tell the story of your first year in the home. Boca eHub supplies city permit context where relevant; the builder’s warranty terms govern submission and coverage. Keep those records distinct so your concern is easy to follow.

Research the correct Boca property

  1. Check whether the parcel is within Boca Raton city limits before using city records.
  2. For a city property, open Boca eHub’s support page and its public permit-status lookup guide.
  3. If the address is outside the city, use the responsible county’s records route instead.
Boca eHub’s public-lookup guide Boca Raton city-limits guidance

Use the record to prepare questions. It does not establish the home’s current condition.

Bring these details to your inspection

  • Find the deadline and submission instructions in your own warranty documents.
  • Describe recurring concerns and the outcome of earlier builder visits.
  • If repair history matters, confirm city or county jurisdiction before searching for supporting permit records.

Local property questions

Does a final city permit mean my warranty concern is settled?

No. A permit’s recorded status and a builder’s warranty decision serve different purposes. Keep the available city or county record with the repair notes, your observations and the independent inspection findings. Submit the concern through your builder’s stated process.
