What's an 11-month warranty inspection and should I get one?

If you bought new construction in Glencoe, your builder's warranty typically lasts one year, and an 11-month warranty inspection is your chance to catch problems before that window closes. We do a full inspection near the end of the warranty period and produce a documented list of defects and workmanship issues that have surfaced over your first year of living in the home, things like settling cracks in clay soils, ice dam staining from that first hard winter, HVAC imbalances, grading and drainage problems, or electrical and plumbing items. You then submit that list to the builder for repair while it's still their responsibility. Without this inspection, defects that show up in year two come out of your pocket. It's a small investment that can save thousands and is one of the smartest moves a new-home owner can make. To schedule your 11-month inspection before your warranty expires, call us, or build a free instant quote online and note that it's a warranty inspection.
