No matter what we decide to do we’ll still get the home inspection before the first year is up.
Thanks

First you need to do a punch list within 7 days, turning into warranty. Some items only have a 7 days window to fix or not covered. Your rep will tell you what is the list today.
This is our fourth house, so we did our own punch,( scratch's in windows, irrigation not correct so landscaping dying, is the 7 day fix now or on your own.)
We have alway used Frank D’Angelo, schedule him the week you close for 9-10 months out. Yes he is that busy.
We had everything cosmetic on our 7 day punch list, cabinets touch up, drawer not soft closing, something in the garage disposal (screw). And so on. Also within that year you can email warranty with items after your punch list as something becomes a problem.
Then at your 10 month mark your hired inspection, will take care of structural, roof, electrical, paint nail pops, and any major items for you. They will submit directly to warranty.
