11th Month Warranty Inspection 

When purchasing a new home, it’s common to receive a builder’s warranty that covers any defects or issues with the construction for a period of one year. As this warranty comes to an end, it’s crucial to schedule an 11-month warranty inspection to ensure that any necessary repairs or replacements are addressed before the warranty expires.

Here are some reasons why an 11-month warranty inspection is important:

1. Identify Defects: An experienced inspector can identify defects or issues that may have gone unnoticed during the initial walkthrough or previous inspections.
2. Cost Savings: Many builders offer a one-year warranty that covers the cost of repairs for any defects or issues, so scheduling an inspection before the warranty expires can save you money on any repairs that need to be made.
3. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your home is in good condition and that any defects have been identified and addressed can provide peace of mind for homeowners.
4. Timely Repairs: An 11-month warranty inspection allows homeowners to identify any necessary repairs or replacements while the builder’s warranty is still in effect, giving the builder adequate time to make the necessary repairs.
5. Increase Resale Value: A well-maintained home with all necessary repairs and replacements completed can increase the resale value of a property.

During an 11-month warranty inspection, an inspector will thoroughly examine the home’s exterior and interior components, including the roof, siding, windows, doors, electrical system, plumbing, HVAC system, and foundation. The inspector will provide a detailed report that outlines any defects or issues that need to be addressed and may recommend repairs or replacements.

It’s important to note that an 11-month warranty inspection is not a substitute for annual home maintenance inspections, which should be conducted every  year or as needed. However, it is a critical step in ensuring that your new home is in good condition and that any defects are addressed before the warranty expires.
