What Is an 11-Month Warranty Inspection?
An 11-month inspection, also called a builder warranty inspection or one-year home inspection, evaluates the condition of your home near the end of its first year. It helps you document visible concerns and observed system issues so you can submit them to your builder before applicable deadlines.
You may notice a sticking door or a leak under a sink yourself. Other concerns can be harder to spot in the attic, at the roof, or around accessible equipment. A written report brings the findings together with photos and descriptions.
Why schedule during month 10 or 11?
Leave time to receive the report, review the findings, and follow your builder’s claim procedure. Check the warranty’s start date rather than assuming it matches your move-in date.
The inspection documents conditions; it does not determine warranty coverage or guarantee repairs. Different components may have different coverage periods, exclusions, and reporting requirements.
What Does the Inspection Include?
The inspection focuses on accessible home components and observed conditions. Confirm the exact scope with your assigned inspector before booking.
Structure, Foundation & Drainage
- Visible foundation conditions and cracking
- Accessible framing and roof structure
- Grading and drainage around the home
- Doors and windows showing signs of movement
Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical
- Heating and cooling operation, where conditions permit
- Accessible ductwork and equipment
- Visible plumbing leaks and fixture operation
- Accessible electrical components and safety concerns
- Water heater condition and installation observations
Roof & Exterior
- Accessible roof covering and flashing
- Exterior openings and visible sealing concerns
- Windows and exterior doors
- Visible signs of moisture entry
Interior & Accessible Spaces
- Interior doors and windows
- Visible wall, ceiling, and floor conditions
- Accessible attic insulation and ventilation
- Other observations within the agreed inspection scope
A home inspection is a visual assessment of accessible components, not an invasive investigation or structural engineering evaluation. Concealed conditions may not be visible. Ask about separate services for pools, irrigation, sewer scopes, or other specialty needs.

Concerns Worth Documenting Before Your Deadline
These are examples of conditions a homeowner or inspector may observe. Their presence, cause, and warranty eligibility need to be assessed individually.
- Moisture: Leaks beneath sinks, staining, or visible water entry around openings.
- Drainage: Standing water or ground sloping toward the home.
- Heating and cooling: Operating problems or visible issues with accessible ductwork.
- Electrical: Safety concerns at accessible outlets or electrical equipment.
- Movement: Visible cracking or doors and windows that stick.
- Exterior protection: Accessible flashing or sealant concerns.
Keep your own dated photos and notes about when an issue occurs. For intermittent leaks or comfort concerns, that context can be useful during the inspection.
How to Prepare for Your Warranty Inspection
1. Check Your Dates
Find your warranty start date, relevant coverage periods, and submission instructions. Schedule with enough time to report concerns before the applicable deadline.
2. Make a Concern List
List leaks, uneven temperatures, sticking doors, cracks, and other changes you have noticed. Gather dated photos and any earlier inspection report.
3. Provide Access
Clear access to the attic entry, electrical panel, water heater, and other equipment. Secure pets and ask your inspector about any other preparation requirements.
4. Submit & Keep Records
Review the report and submit relevant findings using your builder’s required process. Keep copies of the submission and responses. Ask whether a separate follow-up inspection is available if repairs need checking.

11-Month Warranty Inspection FAQs
When should I schedule an 11-month warranty inspection?
Plan for month 10 or 11, leaving time to receive the report and submit concerns before applicable deadlines. Check your warranty documents for the exact start date and reporting requirements.
How much does an 11-month inspection cost?
Our published typical range is $450–$650. Final pricing depends on the property and requested services and is confirmed with your inspector before booking.
Does the inspection guarantee that my builder will pay for repairs?
No. The report documents observed conditions. Coverage depends on your warranty terms, exclusions, deadlines, and the builder’s review of the claim.
Can I get an inspection after the first year?
Yes. An inspection can still document your home’s condition. Some coverage may have ended while other coverage may remain; review the applicable warranty documents.
Do I need one if I had a pre-closing inspection?
A pre-closing inspection records the home’s condition at that time. A later inspection can document concerns that developed or became visible after move-in. Bring your earlier report so you can discuss prior findings with the inspector.
What will I receive after the inspection?
You receive a digital report describing observed findings, with photos and explanations you can share with your builder. Confirm report delivery timing with your inspector when scheduling.
Is an 11-month inspection a structural engineering assessment?
No. It is a home inspection of accessible components. If findings suggest a need for specialist evaluation, discuss the appropriate next step with your inspector.
