11-Month Builder Warranty Inspection

Catch the defects your builder should fix — before the warranty expires.

Your new home came with a 1-year builder warranty. Around month 11, that window starts closing. Don Kincaid performs a thorough warranty inspection to document every defect, settling crack, and mechanical issue so the builder pays for repairs — not you.

Why the 11-Month Inspection Matters

New homes in Texas go through significant settling in their first year. Soil movement, seasonal temperature swings, and the natural curing of concrete and framing can all produce cracks, gaps, and mechanical issues that weren't visible at closing. Most builders offer a 1-year warranty that covers these defects — but only if you report them before the warranty expires.

Schedule your warranty inspection around month 10 or 11. Don documents every issue with photos and thermal imagery, giving you a professional repair list to submit to your builder while the warranty is still in effect. Without this inspection, you could be stuck paying for repairs that were the builder's responsibility.
