1-Year Warranty Inspections
Protect Your New Home Before the Builder Warranty Expires
A 1-Year Warranty Inspection is one of the most important inspections a homeowner can schedule — and one of the most overlooked. At AAA Complete Home Inspections, we help homeowners identify defects and concerns before the builder’s one-year warranty expires, giving you the opportunity to request repairs while they’re still covered.
We proudly serve Nashville and Middle Tennessee, providing thorough inspections, clear documentation, and professional reports you can present directly to your builder. Our 1-Year Warranty Inspections in Nashville TN cover homes in Germantown, East Nashville, and Sylvan Park, ensuring that builders have fulfilled warranty obligations and that your home is performing properly.
What Is a 1-Year Warranty Inspection?
A 1-year warranty inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of your home performed near the end of the builder’s warranty period, typically around 10–11 months after move-in. By this time, the home has gone through seasonal changes and normal use, which can reveal issues not visible at closing.
This inspection helps uncover construction defects, installation issues, and performance problems that should be addressed by the builder before the warranty expires.
Many homeowners schedule a Buyer’s Home Inspection Nashville prior to warranty inspections.
Why This Inspection Is So Important
Many homeowners assume new homes are problem-free — but defects are common, even with reputable builders. A warranty inspection helps you:
Identify issues while repairs are still the builder’s responsibility
Avoid paying out-of-pocket for covered repairs later
Document defects with a professional inspection report
Gain peace of mind knowing your home was thoroughly evaluated
Once the warranty expires, these repairs often become the homeowner’s responsibility. Follow-up inspections can be conducted using Re-Inspection Services after repairs.
What We Inspect During a 1-Year Warranty Inspection
Our 1-year warranty inspections evaluate the same major systems as a residential home inspection, with a focus on workmanship and performance issues that may have developed over time.
We inspect:
Roofing, flashing, and roof penetrations
Exterior siding, trim, doors, windows, and drainage
Foundation, crawlspace, and structural components
Attic insulation and ventilation
Electrical systems, panels, outlets, and fixtures
Plumbing systems, fixtures, and visible piping
Heating and cooling systems and visible ductwork
Interior walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows
Signs of settlement, cracking, or moisture intrusion
Each inspection includes detailed notes and photos. Consider adding Radon Testing Nashville TN during the inspection.
Same-Day Reports for Builder Repairs
We provide same-day inspection reports that are clear, well-organized, and easy to share with your builder. Reports include photos and explanations that help document issues accurately and professionally.
This documentation makes it easier to request and track warranty repairs. Homes with previous water issues may also require Mold Investigations.
Optional Add-On Services

Mold Investigations & Indoor Air Quality Testing
