#1 Florida Home Inspector!
An 11-month warranty inspection is a specific type of home inspection that takes place approximately 11 months after the completion of a new home build. This inspection is critically important for homeowners because it occurs near the end of the typical one-year warranty period that many home builders offer.
I hired Alan to inspect my home before I purchased my property and again before my one-year builder warranty expired. I was astounded at how thorough he was. He provided me the inspection report the day of, and was able to fully answer my questions during the inspection. Alan really went above and beyond, remaining in communication with me about major issues that came up in the inspection. He answered some of my pesky questions by text, and told me what to legitimately worry about and what was standard for all homes. He offered his many years of expertise as a home builder so that I could understand the issues and how to fix them. I cannot recommend Alan highly enough. If he's booked/busy, he's worth the wait!

Our 11-Month Home Warranty Inspection service is designed to give homeowners peace of mind by identifying any defects or issues that need to be addressed under the builder’s warranty, ensuring that the home is in top condition as the warranty period concludes.
The main aim of this inspection is to identify any issues, defects, or problems that have arisen in the home since its completion. This can include structural issues, mechanical problems, or any other defects that may have surfaced during the first year of occupancy.
Conducting the inspection at the 11-month mark gives homeowners enough time to report any issues to the builder while still under warranty. This ensures that the builder is still responsible for most repairs at no additional cost to the homeowner.
The inspection covers a comprehensive check of the house, including the foundation, structure, roofing, exterior, interior, electrical systems, plumbing, heating and cooling systems, and appliances that were included in the build. It’s meant to be thorough to catch any issues that can be addressed under warranty.
It helps homeowners identify and address problems that they might not have noticed or that have developed over time. Catching these issues before the warranty expires can save a significant amount of money in repairs and ensure the home is in good condition.

This aspect of the inspection assesses the home’s overall strength and durability, focusing on the foundation’s condition to ensure it is free from cracks, shifts, and water intrusion. Framing inspection includes checking the structural woodwork for proper installation, signs of stress, or damage, ensuring the home’s skeleton supports its weight and withstands environmental pressures.
Inspectors evaluate the condition of the home’s siding, looking for any damage, improper installation, or areas that may allow water infiltration. Doors and windows are checked for proper sealing, operation, and insulation, ensuring they contribute to the home’s energy efficiency and security.
The roofing inspection focuses on identifying leaks, wear, or damage to shingles, ensuring flashing is properly installed around roof penetrations, and verifying that gutters and downspouts are securely attached and free from blockages. This ensures the roofing system effectively protects the home from water damage.
HVAC inspection includes assessing the condition and operation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units to ensure they are functioning efficiently. Electrical system checks involve verifying the safety and adequacy of wiring, circuit breakers, and outlets. Plumbing inspection focuses on identifying leaks, ensuring proper water pressure, and verifying the functionality of fixtures and water heaters.
This inspection covers the aesthetic and functional aspects of the home’s interior, including the condition of walls (looking for cracks or signs of moisture), the stability and levelness of floors, and the quality and installation of cabinetry and built-ins. It ensures the interior is not only visually appealing but also structurally sound.
Inspectors test all appliances included in the home, such as stoves, ovens, dishwashers, and refrigerators, to ensure they are in working order. This may also extend to built-in systems like security alarms, smoke detectors, and any smart home technology components, verifying that everything is operational and meets current Florida standards.
