Service Overview

What Is a Builder's Warranty Inspection?

Most new home builder warranties expire within the first year of ownership. A builder's warranty inspection performed before the warranty period ends gives homeowners a documented record of items that may qualify for correction under the original warranty.

Jason systematically evaluates all accessible systems and components, looking specifically for settlement, workmanship defects, and installation issues that commonly develop during the first months of occupancy. Many homeowners are surprised by what is found before the deadline passes.

Who Benefits Most

Right for Your Situation?

Property Buyers

Homeowners within the builder warranty period benefit from this inspection by identifying items that qualify for warranty correction before the deadline passes — often before the homeowner is even aware the issues exist.

Buyer Inspection →

Property Sellers

Homeowners preparing to sell a recently built property use warranty inspections to address any remaining builder-responsible items, improving the property's condition and defensible asking price.

Pre-Listing Inspection →

Current Homeowners

Current owners gain the most from scheduling this inspection before the one-year warranty expires. Settlement, workmanship defects, and installation issues that commonly surface in the first year can be corrected at the builder's cost.

The Day Of

The Inspection Day

On inspection day, Jason arrives on schedule and spends two to three hours conducting a thorough, systematic evaluation of the property. You are welcome — and encouraged — to be present for the walkthrough.

As he moves through each area he will explain his findings in plain language, flag items of concern, and answer your questions on the spot. He photographs every significant issue so your report is fully documented.

Your written report — complete with photographs, repair-priority rankings, and a summary of major findings — is delivered digitally within 24–48 hours.

Inspection Day Checklist

  • ✓ Utilities on — gas, electric, and water active
  • ✓ Pilot lights lit on furnaces and water heaters
  • ✓ Clear access to attic hatch, electrical panel, and crawlspace
  • ✓ Pets secured or temporarily removed
  • ✓ Keys or codes for outbuildings and garages provided
  • ✓ Any known repair history disclosed to the inspector
Before We Arrive

Getting Ready

A few simple preparations on the seller's or homeowner's part help Jason complete the most thorough evaluation possible — and protect everyone's time.

Provide Access

Unlock all areas — basement, attic, detached structures, and outbuildings. Inspectors cannot assess what they cannot enter.

Share Known History

Any receipts, warranties, or permit records for past repairs help Jason put current conditions in context and saves time onsite.

Plan for 2–3 Hours

Most inspections take two to three hours depending on property size. Buyers are encouraged to attend the final 30 minutes for a live summary.
