Do NOT Wait Until The11th Month
Schedule a builder’s warranty inspection to identify any hidden issues before your home’s warranty expires, we recommend at the 7-8 month mark unless damage has already been observed. A timely inspection can save you money by addressing repairs that would otherwise be your responsibility. Our warranty not only offers peace of mind but also provides documented evidence of your property’s condition at the end of the warranty period. Rely on our top-notch Texas-Licensed home inspectors to help you make informed and profitable decisions.
