11-Month Builder Warranty Inspection

A newly constructed home may look perfect, but many defects don't become apparent until you've lived in the home through changing seasons and everyday use. An 11-Month Builder Warranty Inspection is designed to identify issues before your builder's one-year warranty expires, giving you the opportunity to request repairs while they are still covered.

At Albino Rhino Home Inspections, we perform a thorough inspection of your home's major systems and components, following the New Jersey Standards of Practice. We evaluate the roof, exterior, structure, plumbing, electrical system, HVAC equipment, insulation, interior finishes, windows, doors, and more, looking for defects, installation concerns, and signs of moisture intrusion or settlement that may have developed since construction.

Common issues found during 11-month inspections include:

• Drywall cracks from normal settlement
• Roof and flashing defects
• Improper grading or drainage issues
• Plumbing leaks
• HVAC performance concerns
• Electrical deficiencies
• Missing insulation
• Window and door operation problems
• Exterior siding and trim defects

After the inspection, you'll receive a detailed digital report with photos and recommendations that can be provided directly to your builder for warranty claims. This inspection helps protect your investment and provides peace of mind before your builder's warranty period ends.

Note: Base cost of $400 is based on overall square footage of the house, and will go up incrementally.  

Don't let your warranty expire before uncovering potential defects. Schedule your 11-Month Builder Warranty Inspection today and make sure your new home is performing as intended. 🦏
