1 Year Warranty Inspection Service
1-Year Warranty (11-Month) Home Inspection in Arizona
Your new home’s 1-year builder warranty is coming to an end—don’t let it expire without a thorough inspection! At Protect Property Inspections, we specialize in New Construction Inspections and can help you hold your builder accountable for any defects before your warranty runs out.
Why is a 1-Year Warranty Inspection So Important?
In Arizona, the Registrar of Contractors (ROC) mandates that builders are responsible for repairing defects in your home within the first year. However, after the 1-year mark, many important repairs become your responsibility—even if they should have been fixed by the builder.
🚨 What’s No Longer Covered After 1 Year?
Once your 1-year builder warranty expires, the following repairs will no longer be covered:
❌ Doors & Windows Adjustments – Sticking, misalignment, or weather-stripping issues.
❌ Caulking Maintenance – Gaps in caulking around sinks, tubs, and windows (excluding roof sealants).
❌ Minor Plumbing Leaks – Dripping faucets, hose bibs, and plumbing fixture leaks caused by worn-out washers or O-rings.
❌ Surface Wear & Tear – Fading paint, scratches on flooring, and wear on appliances or fixtures.
Once these become your responsibility, they can turn into costly repairs. That’s why we strongly recommend scheduling your 1-year warranty inspection during the 11th month of homeownership—before the warranty expires.
How We Protect You During Your 1-Year Warranty Inspection
Our Inspectors are Arizona’s ONLY new construction specialists, meaning we inspect to higher standards than any other inspection company in the state.
✔ We Don’t Just Inspect—We Reinspect
If we performed your Final Walk Inspection, we will verify that all previous defects were repaired correctly. Builders often claim they have fixed issues—but did they really? We will check to ensure that repairs, such as attic insulation levels, improper installations, and HVAC defects, were actually corrected.
✔ We Catch What Other Inspectors Missed
If another company performed your final walk inspection, they likely missed significant defects—because we are the only home inspectors in Arizona who specialize in new construction. Our team will find everything necessary to hold your builder accountable.
✔ We Inspect to Builder Standards & Arizona ROC Guidelines
We don’t just look for cosmetic issues—we inspect your home to meet Arizona’s strict ROC minimum standards. If a builder hasn’t followed these guidelines, they are required to fix the defects.
✔ Comprehensive Thermal Imaging Scan – FREE
Unlike most home inspectors, we include thermal imaging in every inspection at no extra charge. This allows us to detect hidden issues like missing insulation, moisture leaks, or electrical problems that could be costly down the road.
What We Inspect During Your 1-Year Warranty Inspection
Our detailed inspection covers everything covered under your builder’s warranty, including:
🏡 Structural & Exterior – Foundation, stucco, grading, drainage, and roofing.
🔌 Electrical Systems – Panel, wiring, outlets, and AFCI/GFCI safety devices.
🚰 Plumbing Systems – Water heater, fixtures, leaks, and supply lines.
❄️ HVAC Systems – Cooling, heating, ductwork, and airflow.
🚪 Windows & Doors – Alignment, seals, and weather-stripping.
🛁 Cabinetry & Counters – Cosmetic defects, proper installation, and alignment.
🛠️ Attic & Insulation – Proper levels and builder corrections from previous reports.
🔥 Thermal Imaging Scan – Detects hidden issues like moisture, missing insulation, and electrical faults.
