11-Month Warranty Inspections • Central Texas
Document builder repair items before your warranty expires.
Most new homes include a builder warranty period. An 11-month warranty inspection gives you an independent punch list before that first-year coverage closes, with clear photos and plain-language findings you can send to the builder.

Why the 11-month inspection matters
Many builder defects show up only after the home has been lived in through normal weather, seasonal movement, and daily use. The warranty inspection gives you a documented list while the builder may still be responsible for corrections.
The goal is simple: find visible defects, separate cosmetic annoyances from functional concerns, and give you a clean report before your warranty deadline.
Common warranty items we look for
- Roof, attic, and moisture: roof penetrations, attic ventilation, insulation gaps, and signs of leaks.
- Exterior and drainage: grading, flatwork, sealants, siding, doors, windows, and water management.
- Mechanical systems: HVAC, plumbing, water heater, electrical panel, outlets, GFCI/AFCI devices, and fixtures.
- Interior finishes: doors, windows, drywall cracks, trim, cabinets, flooring, appliances, and safety concerns.
11-month warranty inspection FAQs
Quick answers before you book
When should I schedule an 11-month warranty inspection?
The best timing is usually around month 10 or early month 11, before the builder warranty deadline. This gives you time to receive the report, submit items, and follow up before coverage expires.
What does the inspection cover?
We review visible and accessible major systems, exterior conditions, drainage, roof and attic areas, interior finishes, appliances, safety concerns, and other defects that may belong on a builder warranty list.
Is this different from the original new construction inspection?
Yes. A final new construction inspection happens before closing. An 11-month inspection happens after you have lived in the home and defects have had time to show up.
Will the report be useful for my builder?
Yes. The report includes photos, locations, and clear language designed to help you submit a focused warranty request to the builder.
Do you decide what the builder must repair?
No. The builder and warranty agreement determine coverage. We document visible conditions, explain concerns, and help you understand what to ask about.
How quickly do I get the report?
Reports are typically delivered within 24 hours, with timing confirmed when you schedule. That helps you keep the warranty process moving.
