11-Month Warranty Inspection in Oviedo, FL

Oviedo's open terrain increases wind exposure, and we frequently document roof-related defects in new builds here, improperly spaced sheathing fasteners, inadequate ridge cap installation, and poorly sealed gable vents are common findings. These defects may not cause visible damage until a significant storm event, but they're present from the time of construction and are clearly warranty-eligible items your builder is obligated to address if we document them before your one-year deadline.

Yes, we regularly inspect new construction in Oviedo's master-planned communities, including Oviedo on the Park, Waterstone, and surrounding subdivisions. Production construction in these developments follows repeatable patterns, which means we know where the most common defects appear and what to prioritize. We're available Monday through Saturday and deliver same-day reports. Call us at 407-205-7222 or visit squareinspections.com to schedule your inspection before your warranty deadline.

Schedule around month 10 to give yourself enough time to submit warranty claims and receive a builder response before the 12-month deadline. Don't wait until month 11; warranty administrators have processing timelines too.

We inspect all major systems and structural components covered by your builder warranty: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roof, attic, foundation, exterior, and interior. We also document cosmetic defects that qualify under most warranties.

Our InterNACHI-certified inspectors produce professional, well-documented reports. Most builders honor valid warranty claims submitted before the deadline, especially when findings are clearly documented with photos and system references.

A closing-day inspection captures conditions at a single moment. The 11-month inspection catches defects that developed or worsened during your first year of occupancy, including HVAC wear, grading settlement, and moisture issues that take time to reveal themselves.

Frequently. Studies show new Central Florida homes average over 36 inspection findings. Builder timelines are tight, subcontractor quality varies significantly, and inspections during construction are often rushed. An independent inspection catches what builder quality control misses.

The scope is identical. We inspect every major system. The difference is the lens: we're looking specifically for construction defects, installation errors, and items covered under a builder warranty, and we format the report for warranty claim submission rather than negotiation.

The most frequent: inadequate attic ventilation, improper lot grading, missing or thin insulation, HVAC refrigerant line issues, reversed plumbing vents, improperly secured roof decking, and window installation defects. Each of these is typically covered under the builder's 1-year warranty.
