A full inspection timed to land just before your one-year builder's warranty expires — so covered defects get documented and fixed on the builder's dime, not yours.
An 11-month warranty inspection is a complete inspection of your new home near the end of its first year — deliberately timed to land before the standard one-year builder's warranty expires. It's the same thorough evaluation as a full home inspection, aimed at documenting anything the builder should still make right.
A full year of actually living in a home reveals what a closing-day walkthrough never could: settling cracks, HVAC quirks, sticking doors, workmanship issues, and small defects that only show themselves over time. Most of these are covered by your builder's warranty — but only if you report them before it lapses.
Jamie Meeks is a State of South Carolina Certified Real Estate Inspector (#RBI.49506) serving new homeowners across Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand. Every inspection includes standard thermal imaging and a same-day report — a warranty-ready punch list you can submit to your builder with confidence.
A Same Team warranty inspection re-evaluates the whole home after a year of living in it — catching what's emerged since closing.
Roof, framing, and foundation — checked for settling, cracks, and any movement over the first year.
The core systems — re-evaluated for performance, leaks, and issues that surface with real-world use.
Doors, windows, trim, and interior finishes — checked for sticking, gaps, and workmanship problems.
Drywall cracks, nail pops, grading, and the settling-related issues a first year tends to reveal.
Most new homes come with a one-year builder's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. It's a valuable protection — but it comes with a hard deadline. Once that first year passes, repairs that would have been the builder's responsibility become yours to pay for.
The catch is that many of these issues don't show up right away. Settling cracks, HVAC balance problems, and workmanship defects tend to emerge gradually over months of living in the home — often quietly, until you're looking for them.
An 11-month inspection surfaces those items while there's still time to act. Jamie gives you a clear, documented punch list to submit to your builder — turning your warranty into real repairs before the window closes.
Your inspection delivers a photo- and video-rich, plain-language report the same day — organized and ready to hand to your builder.
From your first phone call to same-day report delivery, here's exactly what to expect.

It's a full inspection of your new home performed near the end of its first year, before the standard one-year builder's warranty expires. The goal is to document any covered defects — so they get fixed on the builder's dime while the warranty is still in effect.
Most builder warranties last one year from closing. Scheduling the inspection at around 11 months gives you time to receive the report and submit your list to the builder before the warranty lapses — without leaving any covered items on the table.
The issues that a year of living in a home reveals — settling and drywall cracks, nail pops, sticking doors and windows, HVAC balance problems, plumbing and workmanship defects, and grading or drainage concerns that weren't visible at closing.
Yes — thermal imaging comes standard on every Same Team inspection at no extra charge, helping surface hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and electrical hot spots that may have developed over the first year.
