Led by Fred Rodrigues, Certified Master Inspector®A closer look at the scopeTHE RIGHT INSPECTION FOR THIS HOME
You know how it feels to live here. Let’s look closer.
For owners of recently built homes preparing a list of observed concerns to discuss with their builder, often near the end of the first year.
Compare inspection purposesConnect daily observations to findings
A recurring stain, uneven cooling or a door that sticks deserves more than a vague description. Share what you have noticed so the inspection can document accessible conditions and explain recommended further evaluation.
Give your builder specific information
A report with photographs and descriptions helps identify the location and nature of the concern. Submit it through the builder’s required process and retain written responses; inspection findings do not determine warranty coverage.
Use the deadline in your own documents
Month eleven is a common planning point, not a universal rule. Your warranty terms and submission instructions set the deadline. Leave time for the inspection, report, your questions and the actual submission.

What matters for this inspection in Clermont
Work backward from the warranty documents
“11-month inspection” describes a useful planning point, not a universal deadline. Find your builder’s written submission instructions and coverage dates. Allow time for the visit, report, questions and your own submission rather than waiting for the last available day.
Turn daily observations into a useful record
Note the room, location and timing of recurring concerns: a stain after rain, uneven cooling or a door that sticks. Add photos and prior repair correspondence where you have them. These details give the inspector context without assuming what caused the condition.
Keep Clermont property records separate from warranty decisions
For permitted work or an addition, first confirm the parcel’s jurisdiction using the route described by Clermont Building Services. Permit status can provide project context, but it does not decide whether the builder covers an item. Your contract and the builder’s response remain separate from our condition report.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Clermont questions, answered.
Must I wait until month eleven?
No. Your documents and submission process determine the timing to plan around. Contact us with the actual deadline and your concerns so we can discuss a suitable appointment and confirmed report timing.
Will the report make my builder repair everything?
The report documents observed conditions within the inspection scope. It does not establish warranty coverage or compel repairs. Submit concerns through your builder’s required process and keep its written responses.
Should I bring records of earlier warranty repairs?
Yes. Share the original concern, available repair notes and anything you have observed since. Keep permit records, builder correspondence and the inspection findings together, while distinguishing what each document establishes.
