Warranty Home Inspection

Take maximum advantage of the warranty offered by your builder with our warranty home inspection.  The warranty home inspection will save you money. At just the cost of a trip charge or two, how can you afford not to have your home inspected before the warranty expires? Any issues found during the home inspection will be addressed by your builder – typically at no charge to you!

The three most common warranty home inspection issues in a new home are energy efficiency concerns, systems installation concerns, and maintenance concerns. Each of these is addressed by the warranty home inspection.

Common mistakes during construction can rob your new home of its energy efficiency. Missing or inadequately installed insulation, exterior doors that don't seal appropriately, and windows that are not aligned all present MAJOR efficiency problems. If these concerns are not addressed, the resulting energy loss will cost you thousands of dollars during the life of your home. Your warranty home inspection will uncover these defects.  These repairs could costs you $1500 or more if your warranty expires and this list represents just three of hundreds of potential concerns. Why risk it? The warranty home inspection covers all aspects of energy efficiency and modern building best practices.

Other errors made during construction can cause the systems in your home to deteriorate prematurely. An out of level condenser unit has half the expected life of a properly installed unit. This one mistake could cost you more than $1,000!

Nearly 95% of the settlement that will occur in your new home will occur in the first year. In addition to construction concerns, the warranty home inspection will point out common maintenance topics in your home. Bathroom caulking, water heaters, furnaces, and granite counter tops all have special maintenance considerations during the first year. Do you know how to maintain your biggest investment? The warranty home inspection will ensure that a small maintenance concern does not become a big problem.

Construction techniques and best practices have changed tremendously in the last decade. Do not rely on someone whose construction experience is from the 1970's. Having managed the construction of over 100 single family homes, town homes, and condos in the Northern Virginia area since 2005, I am able to evaluate your home within the framework of current practices and techniques.

Your warranty home inspection report will detail each and every concern observed during the inspection, complete with digital pictures and detailed description of the problem and recommended solution. Back to Home Inspections Virginia
