Builder’s Warranty Inspections
Protect Your New Home Before the Warranty Expires
Would you pay $898.00 for someone else’s mistake?
That’s the average cost of repairing builder defects reported by homeowners after their warranty expires — and it’s 7% higher than just a few years ago. At Quality Home Inspections, we help Wilmington, DE homeowners catch those issues early with a Builder’s Warranty Inspection, also known as an 11-Month Home Inspection.
Buying or building a new home is exciting, but even new construction isn’t perfect. Minor defects can easily go unnoticed until after your builder’s warranty has expired, leaving you to pay for repairs that should have been covered. Our certified inspectors specialize in identifying those hidden issues while there’s still time to act, saving you frustration and unnecessary expense.
Why Schedule a Builder’s Warranty Inspection?
Builders often provide a one-year warranty to cover structural and workmanship defects. Unfortunately, most homeowners don’t discover problems until the warranty period has passed. Issues like drainage errors, foundation movement, poor insulation, or wiring faults can take months to become visible.
Our Builder’s Warranty Inspection ensures your home meets building standards and that any construction issues are properly documented. You’ll receive a detailed report with photos, recommendations, and repair priorities you can send directly to your builder for warranty coverage.

What Our Clients Say:
Josh arrived early, and he moved so fast I couldn't keep up with him! He was in every square inch of the house, including the basement, crawlspaces, attic, and the roof. Okay, he used a drone for the roof, but he got some amazing shots of the house from an angle I would never have seen 🙂 He was courteous and kept me fully informed of everything he was doing and his findings. The report was very professional, with lots of pictures and explanations, and was emailed in a very timely fashion. I can highly recommend Josh, his dad, and Quality Home Inspections! — Review by A John
