Your builder’s one‑year warranty is valuable — but it only helps if you know what needs attention. An 11‑Month Warranty Inspection identifies issues that may have developed since move‑in, giving you clear documentation to submit to your builder before your coverage ends. I inspect every major system, explain everything in friendly, easy‑to‑understand language, and deliver a digital report you can use for warranty claims.
