ACTIVE SERVICE · NEW HOME WARRANTY
Your Home Is New. That Doesn't Mean Every Detail Is Perfect.
A new home can look finished while small, visible details remain incomplete, worn, or outside the condition you expected. A warranty inspection gives you a clear, practical opportunity to document accessible conditions before the builder's applicable warranty period expires, commonly near the eleven-month mark.
Watchman Inspections offers this service through the dedicated New Home Warranty Inspection option in Hive Inspect. The client is responsible for confirming the applicable warranty terms, deadline, notice requirements, and any builder process before scheduling or submitting a report.
INSPECTION PRICINGStarting at $350
On the Mississippi Gulf Coast, this warranty inspection is limited to visible, accessible, applicable conditions within the agreed residential scope, not a new-construction inspection, engineering analysis, code certification, or a guarantee that every issue will be found. It does not interpret warranty terms, determine coverage, or promise builder repair; clients must confirm deadlines, notice requirements, and processes. In Hive, this service is labeled New Home Warranty Inspection.
WATCHMAN / A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING
Visible conditions. Before the deadline.
Construction knowledge. Technical insight.01 / BEFORE THE DEADLINE
Turn a Calendar Date Into a Clearer Record
Warranty windows move quickly. A deliberate review before the relevant deadline can help you identify observable conditions while access is available and give you a clearer record for questions and follow-up. The inspection documents what could be seen and reached on the day; it does not predict how a builder or warranty administrator will respond.
Because requirements differ, start by checking your purchase documents, warranty provider instructions, and builder contact process. Allow time for the inspection, your own review, and any notice the warranty program may require.
02 / WHAT WE OBSERVE
A Methodical Look at Accessible Conditions
The New Home Warranty Inspection scope is applied to the property and conditions that are accessible at the appointment. Findings are presented in clear language so you can organize questions and follow-up with the appropriate party.
Depending on access and the agreed scope, attention may include:
Interior systems
Accessible interior areas and visible, applicable electrical, plumbing, heating, and cooling components, along with observable safety-related conditions.
Moisture context
Observable signs of dampness or condensation where accessible. Moisture readings or thermal imaging may support observations when appropriate, but cannot see through walls, confirm hidden mold, or establish a cause.
03 / SCOPE WITH CARE
Useful Documentation, Not a Coverage Decision
A warranty inspection does not guarantee that a condition is covered, require a builder to act, or determine what a builder is legally responsible for repairing. Watchman does not interpret your warranty contract or decide disputes. Your warranty provider, builder, and qualified legal or technical advisers are the appropriate sources for those questions.
The inspection is limited to visible, accessible, and applicable conditions within the agreed residential scope. It is not an engineering analysis, code certification, wind or flood service, or guarantee that every defect or future issue will be identified.
04 / GULF COAST CONTEXT
New Construction Still Meets a Demanding Climate
Along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, humidity, heavy rain, salt air, drainage patterns, ventilation, condensation, and roof or flashing details can make ordinary workmanship details worth a closer look. Those conditions provide useful context for observation, not a separate coastal certification or specialized guarantee.
Watchman Inspections explains observations in practical terms and keeps the focus on what was accessible at the inspection. For questions about the property's warranty paperwork or repair pathway, use the documentation as a starting point for your conversation with the responsible parties.

When should I schedule a new home warranty inspection?
Many homeowners schedule near the end of the applicable warranty period, commonly around eleven months, but your documents control. Check the exact deadline and notice requirements yourself, then allow time for the inspection and any builder or warranty-provider process.
Does the inspection guarantee that my builder will make repairs?
No. The inspection documents visible, accessible conditions; it does not guarantee warranty coverage, require a builder to repair a condition, or decide the builder's legal duties. Coverage and responsibility depend on your contract and the applicable parties.
What should I provide before the inspection?
Review your warranty documents and identify the applicable expiration date, notice process, and any access instructions. Bring those details to your own planning; the client is responsible for confirming the deadline and submitting any required notice.
