"It's brand new, what could be wrong?" This is the most expensive question a homebuyer can ask. In the rush to meet closing deadlines, even the best builders can miss details.
Common New Build Defects
- Roofing Issues: Missing shingles or improper flashing are surprisingly common.
- Unconnected Vents: Bathroom fans venting into the attic instead of outside (hello, mold!).
- Incomplete Insulation: Missing patches in the attic or crawlspace.
- Plumbing Leaks: Slow leaks often go unnoticed until drywall is up.
The 11-Month Warranty Inspection
Most builders offer a 1-year warranty. The 11-Month Inspection is your "last call" to get repairs done on their dime. We inspect the home just before your warranty expires to give you a punch list for the builder.
Protecting Your Investment
Don't rely on the municipal inspector. They spend 15 minutes checking code, not quality. A private home inspection works for you, not the builder or the city.
