Protect Your Investment with a 1-Year Warranty Home Inspection

A New Construction Inspection Gives You Peace of Mind

You don’t expect problems with a newly constructed home as it doesn’t seem old enough to have any issues. However, as the building begins to settle in the first year, imperfections in the construction process may start to show. Most construction companies guarantee their work for an initial period. An 11-month warranty inspection from Hunter Home Inspections can ensure that you catch problems while the contractor is still responsible for fixing them.

Is your home warranty about to expire? Take the first step today to set up a builder warranty inspection.

Don’t Let Your Home Warranty Expire without an 11-Month Inspection

After a year of living in your home, you are probably still finishing your to-do list for the property. You may feel like you don’t have time or money to schedule an 11-month inspection. After all, the structure is only a year old. How many problems could there be?

Issues with your new home may not be obvious right now. At Hunter Home Inspections, we specialize in looking for the small signs of trouble that point to major issues down the line. When you schedule a new construction home inspection, Jeff Hunter will come to your location and check every part of the structure for defects. By catching problems while the construction is still under warranty, you will hold contractors accountable for their work.

Do I Really Need an 11-Month Warranty Inspection?

Some common issues that show up in a 1-year warranty home inspection include:

Improper grading and drainage - The construction crew should have graded the ground so that water flows away from the foundation. Water pooling and intrusion may point to defective work.
Electrical system defects - You may have already gotten used to that light that keeps burning out, but this issue could point to faulty installation.
Concrete cracks - Cracks in your concrete surfaces may be due to an improper mixture at the time of installation.
Warping or gaps in flooring - With proper technique, wood flooring should adapt to changes in humidity and temperature. Gaps between boards may point to a rushed installation.
Window drafts - If installed well, your windows should still be tight after a year. Drafts, gaps, and rattling are all signs of poor construction techniques.
Cosmetic defects - Crews often install cosmetic elements at the end of the project. The signs of a rushed installation process may become evident after a year.

A 1-year warranty home inspection spots these issues and others before they can get worse. Is it almost a year since you moved in? Reach out to us to schedule your new construction final inspection.

Below Are Some Common Questions For New Build Inspections

Q. Why should you get a new home inspection before closing?

There are several stages along the real estate journey. At each step, more responsibility for repairs transfers to you as the homebuyer. Since homes are sold “as is” in Arizona, a defect discovered after closing becomes your problem to repair. A home inspection before closing or before the end of a builder warranty allows you to address problems while they are still the responsibility of the construction company.

Q. What does a one-year builder warranty cover?

A builder warranty covers most of the materials and workmanship that goes into building a home. The covered areas typically include:

Drywall and paint
Stucco or siding
Windows, doors, and trim
HVAC equipment
Electrical components
Plumbing system

Q. What does a home inspector examine?

Home inspectors examine every area in and around the building. They will look for damage or signs of improper installation. The inspection includes an outdoor examination to check for grading and drainage issues. Jeff uses a drone to fully assess the roof and gutters.

Q. How much does a home inspection on a new home cost?

The size of the home is the primary factor in determining your inspection costs. Larger homes take more time and effort to examine. Additional services like inspecting a pool or spa will also increase the price. Please see our pricing table here for more information.
