Your first-year review
The warranty window is still open.
Your new-build warranty runs about a year — and many defects don't show up until you've lived through a full cycle of Oklahoma seasons. Around the 11-month mark, there's a window to have the home inspected and your concerns documented in writing while the warranty is still in effect.

What this inspection covers
A full-scope review of the home’s major structures, systems, and safely accessible components.
A thorough examination of the home's major structures, systems, and safely accessible components — the same scope as our full home inspection. That includes the roof, attic, structure, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, along with the interior, exterior, walls, windows, doors, basement or crawlspace, fireplace, and drainage. We document defects, safety issues, and health concerns with photos and clear written findings.
Why the 11-month mark matters
Why the 11-month mark matters
A builder's warranty typically runs about one year from closing. Settling, seasonal weather swings, and a year of everyday use can reveal issues that were not visible at your walkthrough or final inspection. Waiting until the warranty has lapsed can mean paying for repairs yourself. Inspecting around month 11 leaves time to gather your findings, put them in writing, and submit them to the builder before the warranty period ends.

Common findings
What we find in new builds.
A new home is not automatically a perfect home. These are real conditions Edward has documented on new-build inspections. Not every home has every item, and this is not a complete list.
- 01Mismatched breakers for air conditioners
- 02Mis-nailed roofing shingles
- 03Missing trim, or rough and poorly cut trim
- 04Missing soffit vents
- 05Brick walls overextended from the stem wall
- 06Missing hardware on doors
- 07Incomplete caulking
- 08Rafters in framing cut too short
- 09Missing insulation in places
The inspection documents what is visible and safely accessible, in plain language, so the items can be discussed with the builder while there is still time.
