A 1 year warranty inspection (also known as a 10 month warranty) happens 10-11 months after closing. This inspection takes place right before your builders warranty is expired.
The purpose:
The purpose of a 1 year builder warranty inspection is to document the concerns and deficiencies that are present BEFORE your builder warranty expires. This inspection is crucial for your future protection against defective workmanship or materials.
The benefit:
Scheduling a 1 year warranty can save you thousands in the long run- plumbing, electrical, and roofing issues can be a lot to tackle on your own. Especially when the home is less than a year old. By getting a 1 year warranty inspection, the responsibility of repairing those issues is on the builders.
The services:
Getting a 1 year warranty inspection can be stressful! Here are a couple additional services we recommend during the 1 year warranty inspection:

The services listed above can provide you with extremely thorough information for you and your builder representative.
