Don't End Your Builder's Warranty Without a Home Inspection

Just because a home is relatively new doesn't mean that it's perfect. Homes are built by humans, and we tend to make mistakes. Even homes built to the highest standards can have problems due to material defects or simply human error. Some problems are immediately obvious, while others require a trained eye. Some hidden or minor issues can develop into major expenses down the road.

A home warranty inspection is a full home inspection performed shortly before your builder's warranty ends. Not only will you get a clear view of your home's current status, but you'll also be able to submit many of the issues to your builder to be covered under warranty.

Common Issues for New Homes

There can be any number of issues in a relatively new home. Some of these are obvious, while others are hidden or may lead to major problems later on. Some mistakes are more frequent than others, but here are a few examples:

  • Structural issues, including accidental cutting of structural support components.
  • Roofing issues, particularly missing or improperly installed flashing resulting in leaks.
  • Improper grading, which could lead to foundation issues if left unchecked.
  • Plumbing leaks, which could cause rotting or mold issues.
  • Unsealed windows and doors, costing a lot of money over time and lowering the comfort level in your home.
  • " Alex Mescia was SOOO amazing! We are first time homebuyers so you can understand the stress of this entire process; but I can genuinely say that the inspection part was the easiest of it all. Everything went seamlessly, Alex Mescia came on very short notice and took care of the whole thing while we were out of town. Then he provided us with a very comprehensive report with pictures which made it so so easy for us. I highly HIGHLY recommend little creek home inspections! "

  • " Alex Mesciahas made purchasing our new home incredibly easier. Not only did he identify ever major issue that needed to be repaired he showed me everything that he was talking about and took pictures with detailed explanations for our seller to understand what repairs need to be made. Without his willingness to inspect every inch of our potential home in the rain we would have purchased this home not knowing all of the major fixes needed. He spent 6 hours making sure that there were literally no stone left untouched. Grateful to have Little Creek on our team to help protect my future investment and make sure my family lives in a safe and fully functioning home.

    You need them to inspect your next home. "

  • " Alex Mescia has been great to work with from start to finish. His inspection was easy to read and very detailed. He was available to come on short notice and spent an ample amount of time examining the property we are purchasing. His recommendations were solid and he has been available to reach to answer and explain any lingering questions. "
