Peace of Mind for New Homeowners: The Importance of a Builder’s Warranty Inspection
Owning a brand-new home is an exciting time! But amidst the unpacking and decorating frenzy, it’s important not to forget about your builder’s warranty. This one-year shield protects you from the burden of repairs due to defects or malfunctions in your new home’s major systems and components.
What is a Builder’s Warranty Inspection?
Most builders offer a one-year warranty on major systems and components of your new home. A builder’s warranty inspection, typically conducted near the end of this warranty period (around the 11th month mark), is a comprehensive evaluation to identify any defects or deficiencies that might be covered under the warranty.
Why is it important?
Think of it as a final checkup before the warranty doctor closes shop. Here’s why a builder’s warranty inspection is so important:
Catch issues before they become expensive problems: Minor cracks or leaks might seem insignificant now, but left unaddressed, they can develop into major (and expensive) repairs down the road. A trained inspector knows where to look for these potential problems and can identify them before the warranty expires.
Protect your investment: Your new home is likely your biggest investment. A warranty inspection ensures you get the most out of your builder’s warranty by having any covered repairs done at no cost to you.
Peace of mind: Knowing your home has been thoroughly inspected by a professional provides peace of mind. You can move forward confident that your new home is in tip-top shape.
