11-Month Warranty Home Inspections in Amarillo, TX & the Panhandle

What is an 11 Month Warranty Inspection?

When you buy a newly built home, it often comes with a builder’s warranty—typically good for one year. But here’s the catch: once that warranty expires, any repairs are on your dime. That’s where an 11-Month Warranty Inspection steps in. It’s like taking your car in for a checkup before the bumper-to-bumper warranty runs out—except this checkup could save you thousands in future repairs.

Why Schedule a Warranty Inspection Before Your Builder’s Coverage Expires

Your new home may still have that “fresh paint smell,” but even brand-new builds can hide issues. Sometimes, it’s small things like nail pops, cracked grout, or doors that don’t shut right. Other times, it’s bigger-ticket items—think roof defects, foundation settling, or HVAC problems.

​

By scheduling an inspection in month 11, you’re giving your builder a clear, documented list of problems to fix while they’re still responsible. It’s not about pointing fingers—it’s about making sure the home you invested in is functioning the way it should.

​

Here's other reasons not to skip this crucial time window for a standard inspection:

  1. Catch hidden problems early – Small leaks or faulty wiring can become expensive nightmares if ignored.
     

  2. Save money long-term – Repairs completed under warranty cost you nothing. Waiting means paying out-of-pocket.
     

  3. Peace of mind – Know that your new home is safe, sound, and built to last.
     

  4. Leverage with the builder – A professional report gives you written proof to back up your warranty claims.
     

Think of it like a season finale episode—you want to tie up all the loose ends before the story moves on.

What Our 11-Month Warranty Inspections Include:

During your 11-Month Warranty Inspection, we take a top-to-bottom approach, just like we do for buyers and sellers.  We follow Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) standards, so you're getting your money's worth!  Here's everything we look at:

  • Foundation & Structure – Signs of settling, cracks, or structural concerns.
     

  • Roof & Attic – Shingles, flashing, insulation, and ventilation.
     

  • Plumbing Systems – Leaks, clogs, water pressure, and drainage.
     

  • Electrical Systems – Outlets, panels, breakers, and safety compliance.
     

  • HVAC – Heating, cooling, and airflow performance.
     

  • Windows & Doors – Proper seals, alignment, and insulation.
     

  • Interior & Exterior – Floors, walls, siding, and paint conditions.
     

We’ll also check appliances installed by the builder and test major systems to make sure everything is running smoothly.

What Is Not Included?

Our Add-On Services

A standard warranty inspection covers the visible and accessible parts of your home, but some issues like to stay hidden until it’s too late (and the builder’s warranty has expired). That’s why many homeowners choose optional specialty services during their 11-month checkup:

​

Radon Testing – This invisible, odorless gas can be a serious health hazard. Testing now ensures your family isn’t at risk.

​

Sewer Scope – A camera inspection of underground pipes can reveal clogs, cracks, or damage that might not show up until the warranty is over.

​

Septic System Evaluation – If your home isn’t on city sewer, making sure the septic system is functioning properly is critical before your coverage ends.

​

Well Water Quality (Coliform Test) – For homes on a private well, testing confirms your water is safe to drink and use daily.

​

Outbuilding Checks – Detached garages, workshops, or storage buildings can also be inspected to ensure they meet standards and won’t surprise you later.

​

Pipe Camera Inspections – By looking inside plumbing lines, we can uncover leaks or blockages that surface-level checks may miss.
