What is a
Builder’s Warranty Inspection?

A Builder’s Warranty Inspection is performed near the end of your one-year builder warranty period. Its purpose is to identify any defects, deficiencies, or unfinished items that should be addressed by the builder before your warranty expires.

As an InterNACHI Certified Master Inspector®, I’ll provide a detailed, thorough evaluation of your structure, ensuring you’re fully informed of any concerns that should be brought to the builder’s attention.
