New Construction and Eleven-month Warrany Inspections

New construction and 11-month warranty inspections give prospective home buyers crucial protection, leverage, and peace of mind, especially when the inspections are performed by an experienced, full-service company like Certified Home Inspections of Valparaiso.​

Why Inspect A Brand-New Home

Even in new subdivisions, builders work under tight timelines and multiple subcontractors, which can lead to missed details or workmanship issues that are not obvious during a quick final walkthrough. A new construction inspection before closing provides an independent evaluation of the structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and safety systems so buyers are not relying solely on code or municipal checks, which only verify minimum standards.​

Certified Home Inspections of Valparaiso performs thorough 300-point property inspections with photos and detailed digital reports, giving buyers clear documentation to discuss repairs with the builder before they move in. This same-day reporting helps keep tight new-construction closing timelines on track while still protecting the buyer’s interests.

​

Benefits Of The 11-Month Warranty Inspection

Most builders provide at least a one-year warranty on materials and workmanship, and some cover major structural components for even longer, but they typically require homeowners to identify and report issues before the initial warranty expires. An 11-month warranty inspection is timed so problems like settling cracks, drainage concerns, roof or attic issues, and performance problems with systems show up under normal use, yet can still be repaired at the builder’s expense.​

Certified Home Inspections offers a dedicated 11-month warranty inspection in Northwest Indiana that includes a full 300-point evaluation along with photos or video and a same-day emailed report, making it easy for homeowners to submit clear, organized repair requests before warranty deadlines. This turns a “use it or lose it” warranty period into a strategic opportunity to correct hidden defects at no additional cost.

Saving Money, Stress, And Surprises

Skipping inspections on a brand-new home can leave buyers paying out of pocket later for conditions that would have been the builder’s responsibility if they had been documented earlier. By investing in both a pre-closing new construction inspection and an 11‑month warranty inspection, buyers can uncover issues when they are easiest to fix, often saving thousands in future repair costs and avoiding disputes after warranties run out.​

Because Certified Home Inspections includes advanced tools like infrared thermal imaging, pest checks, mold detection, radon testing, and water testing in its service lineup, buyers gain a deeper look at potential moisture, air quality, and pest-related problems that may not be visible to the naked eye. This one-stop approach means fewer vendors to coordinate, more consistent reporting, and a clearer overall picture of the home’s condition from day one.​

Local Expertise In Northwest Indiana

New construction in Northwest Indiana must stand up to freeze–thaw cycles, heavy rains, humidity, and temperature swings, all of which can quickly expose weaknesses in roofing, grading, insulation, and foundations. Certified Home Inspections of Valparaiso has been serving Lake, Porter, and LaPorte counties since 2003, bringing deep local experience with regional building practices, soil conditions, and climate-related issues that commonly affect new builds.
