Building or Recently Moved into a New Home in Metro Atlanta or North GA?
There are two critical inspection opportunities many consumers overlook:
- Before closing (new construction home inspection)
- Before your builder’s warranty expires (11-month home inspection)
At Superior Home Inspections, we help you identify issues at both stages—so you’re protected before purchasing and prior to your 1-year builder warranty is set to expire.
Why New Homes Still Need Inspections
It’s easy to assume a brand-new home is flawless and defect free—but that’s not always the case.
Even new construction homes can have:
- Construction oversights and flaws
- Missed items during builder walkthroughs
- Poor quality control
- Subcontractor inconsistencies
- Installations that meet minimum code—but fall short of best practice standards
An independent, third-party professional home inspection ensures your home is truly complete and properly built—not just “passed code.”
Catch Issues Before They Become Your Responsibility
- Before closing, the builder is responsible for all construction.
- After closing, many of the issues or repairs that all of a sudden are noticed fall directly on you.
Get an Unbiased Evaluation
- Builders and municipal inspectors focus on code compliance.
- We focus on quality of construction, what defects are present, performance, and overall condition.
Ensure Systems Are Installed Properly
- Code compliance does not always equal proper installation.
- We evaluate whether systems are functioning as intended—not just meeting minimum standards.
Avoid Costly Surprises
Common issues found in new homes include:
- Roofing or flashing problems
- HVAC performance concerns
- Electrical or plumbing defects
- Drainage and grading issues
- Improper installation of materials
Catching issues early can save significant time and money.
Pre-Drywall & Final Inspections

11-Month Warranty Home Inspections in Metro Atlanta and Northeast Georgia
Once you’ve moved in and settled, that’s when new issues can appear.
Most builders offer a 1-year warranty, but many homeowners forget to use it or don’t know what your rights are.
Why an 11-Month Inspection Is Critical
-
Catch Problems That Develop Over Time
Some issues don’t show up right away, such as:
- Drywall cracks from settling
- HVAC performance issues
- Lot grading settles
- Plumbing leaks or drainage concerns
- Loose exterior siding or peeling paint
- Installation problems
-
Identify Issues Before Warranty Expiration
After your warranty ends, repairs or issues with the home become your responsibility.
-
Leverage Your Builder Warranty
A professional 11-month home inspection report gives you documented findings to submit to your builder before coverage expires.
