11-Month Builder Warranty Inspection
Your new home's first year is a shakedown cruise: settling, seasonal movement, and systems getting their first full workout. An 11-month inspection catches what's emerged so you can submit a documented claim while your builder warranty still covers it.
What is an 11-month builder warranty inspection?
Your builder's warranty runs out at one year, and most people don't think about it until month thirteen. I inspect the whole house around month ten or eleven and document everything that's shown up during that first year — settling, seasonal movement, things that only appear once a house has been lived in. You submit it while the builder is still on the hook. That timing is the entire value.

Jeff did our first move in new home inspection and did our other 1 year inspection before our warranty period. Jeff is super thorough and provides a detail review of what he did. Well worth the money. Please reach out. You will not be disappointed.
Jeff's knowledge of home construction assured us that we had chosen the right company and inspector for our 11 month inspection of our newly built home.

One of the two sample reports on this site is a house nobody had ever lived in. Missing drain pan. Boot flashing with improper shingle coverage. A service disconnect that wasn’t there. Wood in contact with concrete. Read it before you decide a new home doesn’t need inspecting.
90-Day Inspection Warranty
For 90 days after your inspection you're covered on electrical systems, mechanical systems, structural elements, appliances, and HVAC systems. That's the window when you're still learning the house — when a surprise hurts most and you can least afford it.
