Kitsap Builder Home Warranty Inspection

Will You Pay $863?

  That's the average cost to repair builder defects by people selling their homes.  A recent J.D. Power survey found that the typical buyer had 14 problems with his new home.  That's up 7% from the 1994 study.  Now is the time to find the problem areas.  If you ignore the issue now you'll end up paying for repairs out of your own pocket later.

 When I conduct a Builder Warranty Inspection for a client they are surprised by the long list of Recommended Repairs.  Most homeowners are not trained in home construction or inspection.  They may not be aware of a minor leak that takes a couple of years to do enough damage to become obvious.  The same is true for electrical problems, where an incorrectly wired receptacle could go undetected until someone gets shocked, or worse!  Improper drainage is another problem that could take years to show up as foundation problems.

You have two choices, as a homeowner coming up on the one year anniversary of your new home, and they are:

Have a Builder Warranty Inspection:

 •·        Identify warranty repairs before the warranty expires.

•·        Schedule repairs at your convenience.

•·        Have the builder pay for the repairs

•·        Rest Assured that your home is well built.

 OR

  Don't have a Builder Warranty Inspection:

 •·        Pay to repair builder mistakes out of your pocket.

•·        Worry about what the buyer's home inspector will find, when it's time for you to sell your home.

•·        Try to negotiate out-of warranty repairs with the builder.

•·        Pay for repairs out of your own pocket, WHEN THEY COULD HAVE BEEN PAID FOR BY THE BUILDER, IF YOU HAD A BUILDER WARRANTY INSPECTION!!!
