New construction
New construction and 11-month warranty inspections
Brand-new homes can still have missed details, from roof and attic issues to grading that sends water toward the house. We inspect before you close on a new build, or before your builder’s one-year warranty ends, so problems get on the builder’s list while they still have to fix them.
What we check
- Roof, flashing, gutters and drainage
- Attic, insulation and ventilation
- Foundation and visible structure
- Electrical panel, wiring, outlets and GFCIs
- Plumbing, fixtures and water heater
- Heating and air conditioning
- Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and floors
- Exterior, stucco, grading and drainage
- Built-in kitchen appliances
- Garage and garage door safety
- Builder punch-list items: missing, loose or unfinished work
Good to know
- We don’t replace the city’s code inspections
- Builder warranty terms vary, so check your paperwork for deadlines
- Anything hidden inside finished walls or under flooring
Give your builder our report well before your warranty deadline.
Why inspect a new home
New doesn’t mean perfect.
Busy job sites miss things
Many trades work on a new home in a short time. Small misses are common and easy to fix early.
Use your warranty
An 11-month inspection documents issues while the builder’s one-year warranty still covers them.
Peace of mind
Know your new home was checked by someone who works for you, not the builder.
Good to know
New build questions.
When should I schedule an 11-month inspection?
Around month 10 or 11 of ownership, so there is time to send the report to your builder before the one-year warranty ends.
Isn’t the city inspection enough?
City inspections check minimum code at stages of construction. Our inspection looks at the finished home’s condition and workmanship on your behalf.
Do you inspect homes in new communities like Riverstone or Tesoro Viejo?
Yes. We inspect new construction across our Fresno, Clovis and Madera service area.
