The deadline
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. I find these issues before they cause rot or mold.
Hold Builders Accountable
You can't just say "the floor feels uneven." My 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, I ensure your investment is sound before you take full ownership of the maintenance costs.
