New Construction Inspections Before Closing Or Warranty Deadlines
New homes can still have defects. Even with a quality builder, construction involves many trades, schedules, materials, inspections, and moving parts. Mistakes, missed items, incomplete work, and installation defects can happen before the home is turned over to the buyer.
Why New Homes Need Independent Inspections
An independent new construction inspection gives buyers a second set of experienced eyes before final acceptance. Contractor mistakes, missed details, incomplete work, safety concerns, and quality issues may not be obvious during a walkthrough. AIM Home Solutions helps clients understand visible concerns before closing or before warranty deadlines pass.

11-Month Warranty Inspections
An 11-month warranty inspection is designed to identify visible issues before the builder warranty expires. Many homeowners wait until small concerns become larger problems. A warranty inspection helps document visible defects, installation concerns, or incomplete items while there may still be time to discuss them with the builder.
Common Issues Found In New Homes

- Roof deficiencies
- Plumbing leaks
- Electrical defects
- HVAC installation concerns
- Grading and drainage issues
- Incomplete work
- Window, door, trim, or finish concerns
