New Construction Warranty Inspections in San Diego County

New-construction builders inspect their own work, which means the inspection standard is whatever they decide is acceptable. Items that don't meet code minimums or the builder's own written standards routinely get missed — or get quietly categorized as ‘normal settling’ — unless someone without a stake in the outcome is looking.

We inspect independently at the phases that matter, from pre-drywall through the final walkthrough, and again before the builder's warranty period closes — typically around month eleven. Every finding is documented with photos and cross-referenced against the builder's warranty terms and applicable code, so you're negotiating from evidence, not opinion.

Builder Warranty Inspections FAQ

Most builder warranties run one year, and once it expires, items the builder was obligated to fix become the homeowner's cost. Inspecting around month eleven leaves enough time to document issues and get them into the builder's queue before the deadline.
That's expected, and it's why documentation matters — a written, photo-backed report referencing the specific warranty terms or code sections gives you a much stronger negotiating position than a verbal complaint.
Yes — phased inspections during framing, rough-in, and pre-drywall catch issues that become far more expensive to fix once the walls are closed up.
