Your builder's 1-year warranty is expiring. Before it does, NovaScope documents what's still their responsibility — in a format you can submit before the coverage window closes.
Starting at $299
Standalone service for new-build homeowners. Not a buyer bundle.
Most builder warranties cover defects for 12 months after closing. Once that window closes, repair responsibility shifts fully to you — even for issues that began developing soon after move-in.
Booking your inspection between months 8–11 gives your builder enough time to schedule and complete repairs before coverage expires. Booking earlier gives you more runway; booking later risks running out of it.
This inspection is specifically designed for the pre-expiration window. It is not a buyer inspection and does not require an active real estate contract.
The inspection covers the same major systems as a standard home inspection — documented in a format you can submit directly to your builder's warranty department.
Visible movement, settlement, cracking, and drainage-related concerns at the slab and foundation level.
Roofing material condition, flashing, drainage, and exterior cladding — items builders often address under warranty.
Heating, cooling, water heater, and ventilation performance — with notes on items that may still be within warranty scope.
Visible supply and drain performance, fixtures, panel condition, outlet function, and GFCI presence — with clear notation of builder-addressable items.
Installed appliances — range, dishwasher, microwave, and others — tested for basic function and checked for visible defects while still under builder coverage.
Windows, doors, trim, and interior components — checking for settlement-related gaps, sticking, and defects.
Sprinkler zone function, head coverage, and visible installation issues — commonly overlooked in new construction and often still within builder warranty scope.
Thermal camera scan of walls and ceilings to identify areas where insulation was missed or improperly installed during construction — a common builder defect that is difficult to detect without thermal imaging.
New construction is concentrated in the suburban growth corridors around Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth — the areas where 11-month warranty inspections are most common.
If your community isn't listed, call — we cover most new-construction areas across Austin and DFW.
