Builder's Warranty Inspection
New homes are not without issues which is why most builders offer a warranty, usually with a one year term.  These issues should be noted and presented to your builder before your warranty expires. If you don't report these defects to your builder before the warranty expires, you could be liable for the repair costs — and the expenses could be significant.
Even in a new home, there could be problems virtually anywhere — many that only a trained professional would recognize. Some of the most common defects are found in the following areas:
  • Paint and caulking
  • Doors and windows
  • Heating and air conditioning
  • Exterior walls
  • Plumbing
  • Floors, walls and ceilings
  • Electrical
  • Roofing
  • Appliances
  • Driveway
  • Septic field
  • Foundation
  • Sewer system
  • Landscaping​
