Builder’s Warranty Inspections

Protect Your Home Investment With A Builder’s Warranty Inspection

When you buy a newly built home in New Jersey, state law requires your builder to provide a 10-year new home warranty. This warranty protects you against defects in workmanship, systems, and major structural components — but only if issues are documented before coverage expires. That’s where a Builder’s Warranty Inspection comes in.

What Is A Builder’s Warranty Inspection?

A Builder’s Warranty Inspection is a professional evaluation of your home before your builder’s warranty expires. Our licensed NJ home inspectors carefully examine your property to identify defects you can submit for repair while still under warranty. This type of inspection is especially important because once coverage ends, all repair costs fall on the homeowner.

Coverage Phases You Should Know:

1-Year Warranty (Materials & Workmanship):

Covers cosmetic and finish items such as drywall cracks, paint, siding, flooring, and trim. An 11-month inspection ensures these issues are reported in time.

2-Year Warranty (Systems):

Covers your home’s plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. A 2-year systems inspection helps catch hidden issues before you’re responsible for expensive repairs.

10-Year Warranty (Structure):

Covers major structural defects including foundation, roof framing, and load-bearing walls. A 10-year structural inspection can protect you from tens of thousands of dollars in repairs if problems are found before coverage ends.

Don’t Miss Your Coverage Window

Whether your home is 11 months old or approaching 10 years, a Builder’s Warranty Inspection gives you peace of mind and helps you take full advantage of your legal protections.
