Most new homes come with a one-year builder warranty. As that first year passes, the house settles, systems get used, and defects that were invisible at closing start to show, drainage problems, nail pops, cracks, roofing and flashing issues, plumbing and HVAC concerns. An inspection around the 11-month mark gives you a documented list to submit before the warranty deadline, so the builder fixes it instead of you.
What we check
Foundation movement and settling since closing
Roof, flashing, and attic
Electrical, HVAC, and plumbing performance after a year of use
Grading, drainage, and exterior
Interior finishes, doors, windows, and cosmetic defects
Timing is everything
Because the warranty is a hard deadline, we recommend scheduling around month 10 or 11 so you have time to submit the report and get repairs on the calendar before your coverage ends. You get a same-day digital report with photos you can hand straight to your builder.
Serving Frisco and all of Dallas-Fort Worth
We perform warranty inspections throughout Frisco, McKinney, Prosper, Little Elm, and the wider DFW metroplex and surrounding counties. Anywhere in North Texas, we can inspect it.
Watch: problems that show up on new builds
The kind of defects an 11-month inspection catches before the warranty ends.
Around month 10 or 11 of your first year, so you have time to submit the report and get repairs scheduled before the one-year builder warranty expires.
Settling cracks, nail pops, drainage and grading issues, roofing and flashing problems, and plumbing or HVAC concerns that appear after a year of living in the home, many of which the builder is obligated to fix.
