What is an 11-month warranty inspection and do I need one in Savage?

An 11-month warranty inspection is one of the smartest moves a Savage owner of a newly built subdivision home can make. Most builder warranties last one year, so scheduling a professional inspection around month 11 lets you document defects while the builder is still obligated to fix them for free. New homes settle and reveal problems during their first year, and in Savage we commonly find issues that did not exist at closing: grading that has settled toward the foundation, drywall cracks from framing movement, nail pops, sticking doors, missing or failed flashing, attic insulation gaps that invite ice dams, incomplete air sealing, HVAC balancing problems, and exterior caulking that has shrunk. Builders rarely volunteer to fix these; you have to identify and report them in writing before the warranty expires. We provide a detailed, photo-documented report you can hand directly to the builder, turning a vague complaint into an actionable punch list. The inspection cost is trivial compared to paying for these repairs yourself later. To schedule an 11-month warranty inspection before your window closes, call us or build a free instant quote online.
