First, congratulations on your new home! Our company, (consisting of myself and my two sons, Steven and Eric), specialize in one year warranty inspections in The Villages. We love what we do and currently do about 900 per year.
There are two important dates to know as you begin your live as a new homeowner in The Villages. While most of your home has a 1 year warranty, there ARE about a dozen or so things that are only warrantied for 30 days. The good news is that these are things that most all homeowners can check themselves, as they do not require special tools and are not on your roof or in your attic. Because we stay very busy doing the 11th month inspections, we are happy to help folks advising them how to do a proper 30 day punch list inspection to turn in to the warranty department during your honeymoon period of your first month.
There are many things we will find after your home settles that will not show up during that first month, because your home is still new. The important thing is capturing those 30 day items in time....we will find everything else a month or so before your first year is up.
The important thing to know is that we book up quickly. Currently we are booked solid about 3 month ahead of time. We actually have a few dozen inspections booked for next year already...so if you are interested in us doing your inspection please call well ahead of time.
Unlike some other inspectors, we actually walk all over your roof and crawl all over your attic, documenting issues and taking pictures, video, etc. (This is important). We look at everything with a thermal camera, have tools like moisture meters, etc. We check your sprinkler system, smoke detectors and even your microwave for microwave leakage.
We team inspect, which means that both my two sons will be at your home, or myself and one of my sons. When we are done doing everything we do, we will go over your list of concerns and questions, and we then send the report to both you AND the warranty department the same day we do your inspection.
A warranty inspection is a deeper inspection than a normal pre sale inspection on a "used home". Those inspections only look for mechanical, structural and safety issues. We do all that, and we also look for many other issues that we know The Villages will address if documented.
While we are not the cheapest around, (and never will be), our prices are well below the state and national average. Simply put, if we did not find issues and if our customers did not see value in what we do, we would not be so busy. You paid a good amount for your home....a good thorough warranty inspection gets issues repaired or replaced without opening your wallet. It also gives you piece of mind, especially in areas like the roof and attic, A/C and Panelbox..places most folks have never been into or on. There are good reasons we stay so busy....and just like in life, you get what you pay for. We are one of the very few if not the only inspection company in the area that are ASHI, Nachi and FABI certified. Lastly, we work for YOU and have an ethical obligation to do so. While we get along great with the warranty department, we do not work for The Villages....we work for you.
Well, I hope this helps. We love what we do and are always happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your time and we appreciate the chance to earn your business. Feel free to check out our website;
