11th Month Warranty Inspections

If you’ve purchased a new construction house within the last year, a one-year builder’s warranty was probably included in your home purchase.  These warranties help protect the homeowner’s investment and usually cover various problems that may be discovered during the first year of ownership.  (See your home’s warranty information for specific details.)

Did your builder neglect making the repairs you requested after you moved in?  Has anything broken in your home during the first year?  Would you like to have a comprehensive list of items that need to be repaired so that you can file a claim with your warranty company before your warranty expires?

A Builder’s Warranty Inspection is a cost-effective way to ensure that you are aware of needed repairs and can make the most of your warranty.  The Builder’s Warranty Inspection is performed by a professionally licensed inspector and is a full home inspection, just like an inspection that is conducted before a house is purchased.  Your inspector will discuss all the findings with you and will provide a thorough, written report with photographs that you can provide your builder or warranty service company to begin the repairs.

Warranty inspections should be performed about one month prior to the one-year anniversary of the purchase of your house to make sure you have time to act on the warranty if needed.  The inspection is designed to assess all accessible areas of your home and its major systems.  Your inspection will be performed in accordance with Texas law and the standards of practice set forth by the Texas Real Estate Commission.
