11-Month Builder Warranty Inspections in The Villages

Your builder’s warranty is almost up. Find out what needs fixing while it’s still their responsibility.

11-Month Builder Warranty

Don’t Let Your Warranty Expire Unused

Most new homes come with a one-year builder warranty. After that, many repairs become your cost.

A lot happens in a home’s first year. The house settles. Systems run through every season. Small problems show up that weren’t there at closing.

An 11-month inspection finds them while you can still ask the builder to fix them.

Common Questions

When should I schedule?

Around month 10 or 11. That leaves time to get the report to your builder before the warranty ends.

I had a new construction inspection. Do I still need this?

Yes. Many issues don’t appear until the home has settled and the systems have run through a full year.

What does my builder warranty cover?

It depends on your builder. Check your warranty documents. Most builders cover workmanship for one year, with longer coverage on some systems and structure.
