New Construction · Hernando County, FL
Don't let your builder's warranty expire without a professional evaluation. Identify defects before your one-year window closes — at the builder's expense, not yours.
What Is It
Purchasing a new home in Hernando County is one of the largest investments you will make — but the first year can mask underlying issues that only surface after the home has settled through a full cycle of Florida seasons. Most builders offer a comprehensive one-year limited warranty covering workmanship and materials, but this protection expires on your move-in anniversary.
An 11-month warranty inspection is your final opportunity to identify defects — structural settling cracks, hidden plumbing leaks, HVAC inefficiencies — and have them repaired at the builder's expense rather than your own. Our professional third-party report gives you the documentation and leverage to hold your builder accountable before the clock runs out.
As wood framing in a new home dries and the foundation settles, drywall cracks and trim separation are frequent findings. These are more than cosmetic — they can indicate areas where the home is moving more than expected, and the builder is responsible for correction under warranty.
Florida heat causes stucco to expand and contract significantly through the seasons. While small hairline cracks are common, larger cracks can lead to water intrusion and should be professionally sealed by the builder under warranty — before you are responsible for the repair cost.
Disconnected ducts or poor airflow in specific rooms are common findings during warranty inspections in Hernando County's newer developments. Identifying these issues before the warranty expires ensures your system runs efficiently for years to come — at no cost to you.
What We Find
Builders are responsible for these repairs during the first 12 months. Our report gives you the documentation and leverage to ensure they fulfill that obligation before your window closes.

Why It Matters
Once your one-year builder warranty expires, every repair becomes your financial responsibility. A professional 11-month inspection gives you the documentation to hold your builder accountable during the only window where they are legally obligated to fix it.
