New Construction & 11-Month Warranty Inspections
Even brand new homes aren't free of defects. A+ Home Inspections helps you catch construction issues while your builder's warranty is still in effect, so repairs are handled at their expense, not yours.
Most builders offer a one-year workmanship warranty on new construction homes, covering defects in materials and craftsmanship. An 11-month warranty inspection is a full home inspection performed shortly before that warranty expires, giving you one last opportunity to document issues while the builder is still obligated to fix them.
Many construction defects don't show up until a home has gone through a full year of seasonal changes and everyday use. Settling, minor leaks, and installation errors that weren't visible at closing often become apparent well after move-in, which is exactly why this inspection is timed the way it is.
Once your builder's warranty expires, any repairs become your responsibility, even for issues that were present from the start.
Scheduling your inspection in month 10 or 11 gives you enough time to document defects, submit a report to your builder, and get repairs scheduled before the warranty window closes for good.
New Construction, Not Defect-Free
New homes commonly have overlooked issues from the building process, from minor punch-list items to more significant installation errors that a trained inspector is more likely to catch than a homeowner.
Roof & Exterior
Roofing, flashing, siding, and grading issues can develop or become apparent over the first year, and are far cheaper to fix while still covered under warranty.
Systems & Mechanicals
Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems get their first full year of real-world use, which is often when installation errors and early failures start to surface.
Foundation & Settling
A full year gives the home's first cycle of natural settling time to occur, making this the right window to check for new cracks or movement.
