Why You Need an Inspection Before the 1-Year Mark
Most Atlanta builders offer a standard 1-year warranty. Once that clock runs out, you are financially responsible for everything. Scheduling an inspection in your 11th month is the smartest financial decision you can make as a new homeowner.
Catch Hidden Defects
"New" doesn't mean perfect. In the rush to build, subcontractors often miss critical details like proper flashing or insulation. We find these issues before they cause rot or mold.
Hold Builders Accountable
You can't just say "the floor feels uneven." Our certified reports serve as a punch list for your builder. It’s the professional leverage you need to get repairs approved.
Long-Term Peace of Mind
From foundation settling to roof shingles, we ensure your investment is sound before you take full ownership of the maintenance costs.

Common Questions
Do I really need an inspection if my home is new?
Absolutely. "New" does not mean defect-free. Municipal building inspectors often spend less than 15 minutes at a job site. We spend hours. We frequently find missing insulation, disconnected ducts, and roof leaks on homes less than a year old.
Can I use this report to force the builder to fix things?
Yes. Your builder is contractually obligated to fix defects found within the warranty period. Our independent, third-party report provides the evidence you need to enforce that contract.
When should I schedule this inspection?
We recommend scheduling it during your **10th or 11th month**. This gives you enough time to receive our report, submit it to the builder, and have them complete repairs before the 12-month deadline.
Who pays for the repairs?
As long as the issues are documented and submitted before your warranty expires, **the builder** pays for the repairs.
