Before your builder warranty expires, Mecca Home Inspections can perform a detailed warranty inspection to help document defects, incomplete repairs, safety concerns, and workmanship issues that may have developed during your first year in the home.
A new construction home settles, systems are used daily, and hidden workmanship issues can become visible after months of living in the home. An 11-month inspection gives you time to submit a clear punch list to your builder before the one-year warranty period ends.
We document visible defects in a clear report that homeowners can share with the builder for review and repair requests.
Reports include pictures, locations, and plain-language explanations so concerns are easier to understand and communicate.
As a home inspector with firefighter and fire inspector experience, safety-related concerns are carefully reviewed and explained.
Scheduling around month 10 or 11 gives you time to receive the report and submit items before the warranty deadline.
Warranty inspections are designed to identify visible concerns with the home’s structure, exterior, roof, attic, interior, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and drainage conditions. The goal is to give the homeowner a professional list of items to address before warranty coverage expires.
Recommended: around 10–11 months after closing.
This gives you time to receive your report, organize your builder request, and avoid missing the warranty deadline.
