It is important for EVERY new owner of a new home in The Villages to do a good "Check list" inspection within the first 30 days. The good news is that most folks, once they know what to look for, can easily do this themselves.
It is important to know what items are only warrantied for the first 30 days....and focus on those items before that 30 day warranty runs out.
When folks call us early to book their 11th month inspection we are happy to provide them with the 30 day items they should check on....
One of those many things are screens....damaged screens are only warrantied for 30 days...after that the damage could be blamed on landscapers, mowers or sand hill cranes.
It is sad when on the 11th month inspection we find a damaged screen, and we have to tell the homeowners that if it was on their 30 day checklist, it would have been fixed at no charge.....but not after 11 months....
Surprising that many folks never even turn in a check list in the first 30 days....
