Builders Warranty Inspections

So you purchased a new home and you’re considering a builders warranty inspection.  You’re on the right track.  Builders warranty’s in Tennessee don’t last very long and many are only valid for the first twelve months. So it’s extremely important to have the home inspected.  Most builders will encourage you to have an inspection at some point in owning the home. It’s encouraged to have an inspection prior to the warranty expiring, whether you had an inspection prior to closing or not. Some issues just don’t present themselves until the home has been lived in for a while.  Daley Home Inspections provides comprehensive builders warranty inspections so you can submit a report to your builder for repairs.
