MAKE SURE ISSUES ARE CAUGHT AND CORRECTED
BEFORE ​YOUR BUILDER’S WARRANTY EXPIRES
OR 
​YOU MAY END 
UP PAYING FOR THEM!

Because you’ve been living in your new home you may already know
of several ​things in need of repair…
But when was the last time you were on the roof or in the attic?

Something as small as a cracked roof tile may lead to much larger issues in a few months. However, that will be AFTER your builder’s warranty has expired.

10 common issues found during our warranty inspections that most home owners are not aware exist.

1. Torn or crushed ductwork in attic.
2. Missing insulation in portions of attic and other areas.
3. Incorrectly wired electrical outlets.
4. Missing or incorrectly installed straps for roof to wall attachments.
5. Slipped or cracked roof tiles.
6. Improper venting of home.
7. Dryer vent improperly terminated or improper dryer vent material.
8. Broken window locks and springs.
9. Slab lipage, where the slab extends beyond the exterior wall leading to moisture intrusion into the home.
10. Garage door safety function not working properly.
