Your builder's one-year warranty is one of the most valuable protections you have as a new homeowner — and one of the most overlooked. At month 11, Troy performs a comprehensive inspection to document every deficiency that's still the builder's responsibility to fix.
Most new homeowners don't think about their builder warranty until it's too late. The 11th month is your window — before the warranty closes and repair costs become yours alone.
Builder warranties typically expire at 12 months. An inspection at month 11 gives you the documentation and time to submit warranty claims before the deadline hits.
Troy's Spectora report provides photos, descriptions, and clear documentation of every deficiency — giving you a professional record to submit directly to your builder's warranty department.
After 12 months of SETX weather, heat cycles, and soil movement, settlement issues become visible. Troy documents cracking, door frame shifts, and foundation movement indicators.
The first year of rain often reveals roofing, flashing, and drainage deficiencies that weren't apparent at final walk. Year-one moisture issues are still warranty-covered.
A full year of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical operation surfaces performance issues that weren't detectable at closing. These are warranty-eligible defects.
A professional inspection report carries more weight with a builder's warranty department than a homeowner's complaint list. Troy's documentation is designed to hold up under pushback.
Troy performs a full inspection at month 11 and delivers your Spectora report within 24 hours — photo-documented and organized by system for easy builder review.
You submit Troy's report directly to your builder's warranty department as documentation of deficiencies. The professional format and photos make claims harder to dismiss.
Warranty-covered deficiencies get scheduled for repair at the builder's expense. Items documented before warranty expiration cannot be easily denied after the fact.
If your warranty has expired, you may still have options depending on the nature of the defect. Structural defects often carry 10-year warranties in Texas. Call us and we can discuss what your specific situation may allow.
Troy has inspected new construction from D.R. Horton, LGI, Stylecraft, and numerous custom and semi-custom builders throughout Jefferson, Hardin, and Orange Counties. Builder familiarity helps identify common deficiencies faster.
Yes — and that's ideal. You want enough time after the inspection to submit your warranty claim and have repairs scheduled before month 12. Booking at month 10.5 is perfectly reasonable.
Most builders' warranty departments accept professionally documented inspection reports. Some will push back on certain items — Troy's report includes enough detail and photographic evidence to support your position.
Yes. Re-inspections of warranty repair work are available. Call to discuss scheduling based on your builder's repair timeline.
