Why Should You Pay For Your Builders Mistakes

Why shouldn’t the builder pay for the mistakes his crew made? They can if you get a “Builders Warranty Inspection” from Alert Home Inspections. Over the years I have been helping Georgia homeowners avoid costly repairs that were the result of someone else’s poor work.

The reality today is that most builders don’t even have tools and equipment. The fact is most home builders are financiers and occasionally job site managers.

“What could possibly be wrong, this is a new house”

Who actually builds your new home are sub-contractors that the builder hires to do the work. So whether your new home is built correctly and complies with the current building codes strictly depends on the knowledge and the skill of the sub-contractors. And the quality of sub-contractors varies greatly. Most sub-contractors are unlicensed and unregulated.

I have learned that all new homes have defects of one kind or another, regardless of the quality of construction or the integrity of the builder. This is because of human imperfection prevents anything as large and as complex as a home from being constructed flawlessly.

A commonly held fallacy is that all construction defects will be discovered by municipal building inspectors. This view is highly mistaken, but not because of professional shortcomings on the part of those inspectors. The purpose, scope, time allotment and procedures for municipal inspections are not the same as for home inspection.

Beyond your own request for repairs, other components will need to be repaired that can only be discovered by a skilled home inspector (improper wiring, attic framing, furnace & A/C concerns, etc.).

Have defects discovered and corrected at the builders expense

When you consider the investment you have made in your new home a professional home inspection is a relatively inexpensive safeguard. We believe your investment in a new construction home warranty inspection will prove to be of significant value. Be a smart homeowner-get the facts.

Don’t let your Builders Warranty expire without having a professional Home Inspection.

Traditionally most builders offer a new construction one-year warranty which covers many aspects of repair and replacement throughout the house. Now more than ever, smart homeowners of new construction properties are taking advantage of having a professional home inspection to assist in discovering unforeseen pitfalls affecting their home.
