11-Month Warranty Inspection
Before Your Builder Warranty Expires
Starting at$350

Most new home builders provide a one-year warranty on their work — but once it expires, any repairs become your responsibility. Scheduled before that deadline, our 11-Month Warranty Inspection gives you one final opportunity to have defects identified and corrected at the builder's expense. Our experienced inspectors meticulously evaluate craftsmanship and installation across all major systems, providing a detailed builder-ready report so you can act before the window closes.

✓ IR Scan Included ✓ Craftsmanship Review ✓ Builder-Ready Report ✓ Same-Day Delivery ✓ All Major Systems
Don't Miss the Deadline

Builder warranties typically expire 12 months after closing. Schedule your inspection at the 10–11 month mark to leave time for repairs to be completed before the warranty runs out.

Infrared Thermal Scan

Our FLIR infrared scan detects hidden issues like moisture intrusion, missing insulation, and leaking ducts that may not yet be visible — but will become expensive problems if left unaddressed.

Expert Craftsmanship Review

We go beyond safety checks to evaluate the quality of workmanship — identifying issues with installation, finishes, and materials that should have been done right the first time.

Builder-Ready Documentation

Your same-day report is clear, detailed, and designed to hand directly to your builder — with photos and specific findings that make it easy to request repairs formally.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the price?

Every Sentinel Shield Premium inspection includes the full home inspection, infrared thermal scan, Sentinel Shield 360° system check, four-point report, and repair verification — all at the quoted price with no hidden fees.

Do I need to be there?

You're welcome to attend — we recommend joining for the last 30 minutes so Kyle can walk you through the findings in person. If you can't make it, your full report will be emailed the same day with photos and clear explanations.

When will I get my report?

Your detailed inspection report is delivered the same day as your inspection — not the next morning. It includes high-resolution photos and clear, plain-language recommendations so you can act immediately.

How do I schedule?

Book online 24/7 using our scheduling system, or call Kyle directly at 817-266-9562. Most inspections are available within 48 hours across the DFW area.

When should I schedule?

Schedule as soon as possible after going under contract — typically during your option period, which is usually 5–10 days. The sooner you book, the more time you have to negotiate repairs or make decisions before closing.

How do I pay?

After your inspection is confirmed, you'll receive a secure online payment link by email. We also accept cash, check, or credit card at the time of the inspection for your convenience.
