Your new home's first-year warranty is a one-time opportunity. We document every defect before it expires — while the builder is still on the hook to make it right.
Most new homes come with a one-year builder's warranty, and once it lapses, the cost of any defect lands on you. An 11-month builder warranty inspection from Highland Property Services catches problems while there's still time to have the builder address them.
Danny and Thomas inspect the home together near the end of that first year, walking the roof and using infrared thermal imaging to surface settling cracks, moisture intrusion, electrical issues, and workmanship defects that a quick look would miss.
You get a concise, same-day digital report documenting each finding with color photos — a clear, organized punch list you can hand straight to your builder before the warranty window closes.
Here's what a warranty inspection protects before your first year is up.
Every defect captured with photos, ready to hand to your builder.
Findings caught in time are the builder's responsibility, not yours.
A first year of settling exposes issues that weren't visible at closing.
We inspect with time to spare, so nothing slips past the expiration date.
A brand-new home isn't a perfect one. After a full year of settling, seasonal changes, and daily use, defects that were invisible at closing start to show — and the 11-month inspection is your chance to document them while the builder is still obligated to respond.
Danny's decades as a licensed contractor mean he knows the difference between normal settling and genuine workmanship problems, so your punch list reflects what truly warrants attention.
We inspect, document, and recommend — then hand you an organized report to take to your builder. The repairs are theirs to make; making sure nothing gets overlooked is where we come in.
Your warranty inspection covers the full home with settling and workmanship in focus.
Because most builder warranties run for one year. Inspecting around the eleven-month mark gives you time to document defects and submit them to your builder before coverage expires and the cost shifts to you.
A full year of settling, weather, and daily use tends to reveal drywall and foundation cracks, sticking doors, grading and drainage issues, moisture intrusion, and small workmanship defects that weren't visible when the home was brand new.
No — we inspect and document. HPS provides a clear, photo-supported report of what needs attention so your builder can make the repairs under the warranty. Verifying and reporting is our role.
Typically the same day. You'll receive a concise digital report with color photos and plain-language explanations, organized so it's easy to submit to your builder.
We do, whenever it's safe. Walking a new roof lets us spot flashing, sealant, and installation issues that a ground-level look would never catch.
