WHAT THIS HELPS YOU DO

Bring a clear record to your builder.

Pair what you have noticed since move-in with documented inspection findings.

Capture everyday concerns

A sticking door, recurring stain or uneven cooling is easier to explain when its location and pattern are recorded.

Look beyond one symptom

The inspection also reviews accessible roofing, foundation and home systems within its scope.

Organize your submission

Use the findings with your warranty instructions to prepare questions and supporting information for the builder.

YOUR INSPECTION, STEP BY STEP

Your observations. An independent review.

The visit adds documented building conditions to your experience of living in the home.

Put the concerns you have noticed into a clear conversation with your builder.

Hear what has changed

We review the concerns and relevant builder correspondence you share.

Inspect the home

We examine accessible components and document observed conditions and limitations.

Explain the record

We help you understand the findings. Your warranty terms determine deadlines, coverage and the builder’s obligations.

KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT

What the inspection covers

Bring the changes you have noticed since move-in. We review accessible conditions and document concerns for your builder conversation.

Roofing, foundation & home systems

We inspect visible, accessible roofing, foundation, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components and document observed concerns within the agreed scope.

Changes you have noticed

Point out recurring leaks, cooling concerns, cracks, or doors that have changed since move-in. Your observations help focus the conversation.

A report for follow-up

Use the documented findings when contacting the builder or arranging specialist evaluation.

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.

MAKE THE NEXT STEP USEFUL

Work from your actual warranty date.

The right appointment leaves time for your report, questions and submission—not just the visit itself.

Check the submission instructions

Your warranty documents set the deadline and submission process. Leave time for the inspection, report and your questions.

Note the everyday details

Record where and when a concern occurs. Photos and builder correspondence help explain changes since move-in.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Builder’s Warranty Inspection questions, answered.

Warranty deadlines, follow-up visits and changes since move-in.

Ask a question about this service

Is this always an 11-month inspection?

Many owners plan around that time, but your actual warranty and deadlines control. Read your documents and schedule with enough time for follow-up.

Can you confirm the builder fixed an item?

Ask about a follow-up inspection for specific items. We will confirm the scope and access needed before arranging another visit.

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 $500 for homes up to 1,999 sq ft. Property details and requested services affect the total; review your property-specific quote before booking.Get your property quote View the price guide

How far ahead of my warranty deadline should I book?

Work backward from the deadline and submission instructions in your actual warranty documents. Confirm appointment and report timing, leaving time to ask questions and submit concerns to the builder; no single lead time fits every warranty.

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.
