If You Let the Warranty Expire On Your New Home Without an Independent Inspection There’s a Good Chance You’re Throwing Money AwayAs the first-year anniversary of your new home approaches, your homebuilder warranty is about to run out.
Are you prepared to go it alone? If you do not address problems within one year of your closing date, your builder will no longer be responsible for problems. But you certainly will!

The inspector typically spends between two to three hours evaluating a home, and may recommend further evaluation if problems or symptoms are discovered. Metropolitan Home Inspection strongly encourages you to attend the inspection with our inspector so that you can ask questions and learn even more about your home.
