addressed and which can wait. The more you know about your home, the more prepared you will be for negotiation. See our Inspection Overview for more details.
WARRANTY INSPECTION
Most builders provide a one-year
warranty for new construction. Generally during this period of time the buyer develops a "punch list" of corrections
for the contractor to repair under the warranty coverage. Some defects will not be obvious to the untrained eye. It is prudent
to obtain our home inspectors list of items that will most likely be repaired by your builder at no cost to you. You will
be reassured knowing that potential problems were addressed before they grew into something that could cost you a great deal
down the road.
