11-Month Builder Warranty Inspections in Colorado
Don’t Miss Issues Before Your Builder Warranty Expires
An 11-month warranty inspection gives homeowners an independent, third-party look at their home before the builder’s one-year warranty period ends. This inspection is designed to identify workmanship issues, material defects, and performance concerns that may not be obvious during everyday living—but can become costly after the warranty expires.
I perform these inspections with the goal of helping you document legitimate concerns clearly and early, so you can approach your builder informed and prepared.
Who This Inspection Is For
This service is ideal if:
You purchased a new construction home within the last year
Your builder warranty is approaching expiration
You want an unbiased assessment, not a builder walkthrough
You’d like issues identified while they’re still the builder’s responsibility
Many homeowners only realize problems after the warranty window closes. This inspection helps prevent that.
What I Inspect
An 11-month warranty inspection is a full residential inspection, focused on areas where new homes commonly develop issues during the first year, including:
Roofing, flashing, and exterior drainage
Foundations, slabs, and visible structural components
Siding, trim, and exterior penetrations
Windows, doors, and weather sealing
Attics and insulation
HVAC performance and installation details
Plumbing fixtures, supply lines, and drainage
Electrical systems and panel components
Interior finishes, floors, walls, and ceilings
I follow InterNACHI Standards of Practice and evaluate components as they exist at the time of inspection. This is not a code inspection, but issues are documented clearly and consistently.
What Makes My Warranty Inspections Different
I don’t rush these inspections or treat them like a checklist exercise.
You can expect:
A thorough, hands-on inspection
Clear photos and explanations
Issues organized by system and priority
Straightforward language your builder can understand
A focus on function, performance, and durability
I look at the home as a system—and how components are actually behaving after a year of real use.
What You’ll Receive
After the inspection, you’ll receive:
A detailed digital report with photos
Clear descriptions of observed issues
Practical context—not alarmist language
Same-day or next-day report delivery in most cases
You can share this report directly with your builder as part of your warranty request process.
