11-month warranty inspection services in Los Angeles, CA
Catch builder defects before your warranty deadline
Your new home has had months of real-world use. An 11-month warranty inspection is a detailed, independent evaluation designed to identify visible defects, installation concerns, and items that may need attention before an applicable builder warranty period expires.
Many homeowners schedule during month 10 or early month 11 so there is time to review the report and submit documented concerns to the builder. Warranty terms and deadlines vary, so always confirm the requirements in your builder documents.

What’s included in an 11-month warranty inspection
After nearly a year of occupancy, settling, weather exposure, and normal operation can reveal issues that were not obvious at move-in. We inspect accessible systems and components for visible defects, safety concerns, improper installation, and performance issues that may warrant further evaluation or builder follow-up.
Every inspection includes thermal imaging at no extra charge where useful, along with a photo-rich digital report. The goal is simple: give you organized documentation you can review against your builder’s warranty terms before the applicable submission deadline.

Exterior & Drainage
Cladding, trim, sealants, doors, windows, grading, drainage, walkways and visible exterior defects.

Common warranty-period concerns we help document
A home can be brand new and still have defects. The 11-month inspection focuses on visible conditions that may have developed, become noticeable, or remained unresolved since construction—giving you a professional record to compare with your builder’s warranty coverage.
Roofing & Exterior Installation
We document visible flashing concerns, sealant gaps, damaged materials, drainage issues, cladding defects, and other exterior conditions that may need correction or further evaluation.
Plumbing & Drainage
Leaks, slow or improper drainage, fixture problems, water-heater concerns, loose components, and signs of moisture can become more apparent after months of normal use.
Electrical & HVAC
We check accessible electrical and HVAC components for visible installation defects, operational concerns, missing protection, condensate issues, and other conditions worth documenting.
Interior & Finish Defects
Cracks, sticking doors or windows, flooring concerns, loose fixtures, appliance issues, and other workmanship items can emerge as the home settles and is occupied.
Builder-ready documentation in one organized report
A clear record of what we observed before your deadline
Your digital Spectora report organizes observed conditions with high-quality photos, video when helpful, and plain-language explanations. Findings are easy to review, share, and reference when you communicate with your builder or another qualified contractor.
Because builder warranty programs differ, the report does not determine warranty coverage. It gives you independent documentation so you can submit concerns according to your builder’s procedures and deadlines.

11-month warranty inspection questions
Plan the inspection before your builder’s deadline
When should I schedule?
Many homeowners choose month 10 or early month 11. That leaves time to receive the report and follow the builder’s required submission process before the applicable deadline.
Is this only for visible defects?
The inspection is a non-invasive evaluation of accessible systems and components. We document visible conditions and use tools such as thermal imaging where appropriate.
Will the builder fix everything?
Coverage depends on your contract and warranty terms. Our report documents what we observe; your builder determines what is covered under its warranty program.
What do I do with the report?
Review the findings, compare them with your warranty documents, and submit applicable concerns using the builder’s required method before the deadline.
