Certified Home Inspectors in Bristol VA

Most builders will give you a one-year warranty after you close on your new home so don’t miss your last chance to get deficiencies corrected. Like a new automobile, you should get a thorough inspection before your valuable warranty runs out. With the inflated cost of materials and labor these days, repair cost should be on the builder and not you!

Approximately 11 months after closing, you should schedule a warranty inspection. This inspection will be based on a normal home inspection which will include all the major components of your new home. You would be surprised how often I find safety hazards and defects that developed during the first months of occupancy.

Once you receive the report, you can use this document to request repairs, as well as address any safety concerns. Often times, these observations might be small now, but they can lead to a more serious and costly problem later.

Remember to mark a reminder on your calendar so you don’t’ get stuck with paying the repair bills on your new home. Since one defect under warranty could easily pay for this inspection, I highly recommend getting your warranty inspection scheduled today.
