At Red Shield Inspections, we provide specialized 11th-Month Warranty Inspections designed to help California homeowners protect their investment and maximize the benefits of their builder’s one-year warranty. Even after moving into a newly constructed home, latent construction issues can appear, and addressing them before the warranty expires is critical. Our inspections ensure that you have a comprehensive, documented record of potential defects to submit to your builder for timely repairs.
Why Schedule an 11th-Month Warranty Inspection?
In California, most new homes come with a one-year limited warranty provided by builders and subcontractors. This warranty typically covers structural elements, mechanical systems, and other key components of the home. However, homeowners often discover minor or major defects too late, missing the opportunity to have these issues addressed under warranty.
An 11th-Month Warranty Inspection is designed to:
-
Identify defects before the warranty expires
-
Document issues clearly and professionally
-
Provide homeowners with a detailed report to submit to builders for repair
-
Reduce the risk of costly out-of-pocket repairs after the warranty period ends
Scheduling this inspection in the 11th month of occupancy ensures that no repair opportunity is missed, giving homeowners peace of mind and financial protection.
Comprehensive Evaluation Scope
Our 11th-Month Warranty Inspections follow the same thorough approach as a full home inspection, assessing all major systems and components of the home, including:
-
Structural Systems: Foundation, framing, load-bearing walls, and roof integrity
-
Electrical Systems: Panels, outlets, lighting, and wiring
-
Plumbing Systems: Pipes, fixtures, water heaters, drainage, and water pressure
-
HVAC Systems: Heating, cooling, and ventilation for proper functionality and efficiency
-
Interior & Exterior Components: Windows, doors, flooring, cabinets, siding, roofing, and finishes
By examining both the visible and functional aspects of the property, we help homeowners catch small issues before they escalate into costly repairs.
Detailed Reporting and Documentation
Red Shield Inspections provides homeowners with clear, detailed, and professional reports. Each inspection includes:
-
Narrative explanations of identified defects in plain language
-
High-resolution photos and video documentation of areas of concern
-
Prioritized recommendations for repairs based on safety, functionality, and urgency
-
Actionable guidance to communicate effectively with builders and subcontractors
This documentation is often critical for warranty claims, ensuring that builders cannot deny responsibility due to lack of evidence or improper reporting.
