BUILDER WARRANTY & 11-MONTH REVIEWS

Independent Construction Condition Reviews for New-Home Owners

Your builder’s warranty has a deadline. Construction problems do not always reveal themselves on the same schedule.

Cracking, drainage problems, water intrusion, roofing concerns, HVAC performance, flooring issues, failed repairs, and other conditions may become apparent during the first year of ownership.

Before important warranty deadlines pass, CFG can help you understand what is happening, document legitimate construction concerns, and determine what should be presented to your builder.

We don't simply identify items for a warranty list. We help determine what the conditions may mean and what should happen next.

Materials dry and settle. The home experiences seasonal temperature changes, rain and snow, heating and cooling cycles, and normal everyday use. Conditions that were not apparent at closing may begin to reveal themselves.

That can include:

• Cracking or movement
• Drainage and grading problems
• Water or moisture intrusion
• Roofing or flashing concerns
• Flooring movement or irregularities
• Window and door performance
• HVAC or ventilation problems
• Repairs that have failed or problems that have returned

Not every condition is a construction defect. But an approaching warranty deadline is the wrong time to rely on assumptions.

An 11-month Construction Condition Review provides an opportunity to evaluate concerns, distinguish routine conditions from those requiring further attention, and create a clearer record before important warranty dates pass.

The objective is not to create a longer warranty list. It is to make sure the right problems are understood and properly documented.
