A warranty inspection is essential after purchasing a new home or remodeling an older one. Many builders and contractors offer a one-year home warranty that covers the repair or replacement of certain systems or appliances. To fully benefit from this warranty, it’s wise to have a professional inspection before it expires. A trained inspector can identify defects or issues that may not be obvious to homeowners, helping you avoid larger problems in the future. By scheduling an inspection prior to the warranty’s expiration, you'll have time to file a claim with your builder or contractor if any deficiencies are found. All warranty inspections include a comprehensive written report.
