11 Month Warranty Inspection in Northern Virginia

Your builder’s 1-year warranty expires at month 12. I inspect the home at month 11 and hand you a punch list of everything the builder is still obligated to fix – at their cost, not yours. The inspection routinely saves new homeowners $3,000-$15,000 in warranty repairs they would otherwise pay out of pocket after the window closes.

What I look for

• Settling cracks in drywall, trim separation, door misalignment
• Grading and drainage issues around the foundation
• HVAC performance after a full season of use
• Roof, flashing, and gutter issues that only show up after a year of weather
• Exterior sealants, caulking, and paint failures
