The things new-home owners in North Georgia ask most. Don't see yours? Reach out — happy to talk it through.
A full home inspection scheduled near the end of your first year of ownership — before the builder's standard one-year workmanship warranty expires. The goal is to document defects while the builder is still obligated to fix them at no cost to you.
New doesn't mean defect-free. Homes are built fast, and the most common issues — HVAC imbalances, drainage and grading, settling cracks, flashing and ventilation, electrical and plumbing details — show up in the first year by design. That's exactly why the warranty window exists.
County code inspections confirm a home meets minimum building code. They aren't the same as a thorough, owner-focused inspection of how every system is actually performing. The two answer different questions.
Many new homes carry extended structural coverage. The 22–23 month mark is a second checkpoint before that coverage changes — and a second chance to get builder-funded repairs documented. Most owners never use it.
Typically within 24 hours of the inspection. Warranty deadlines don't wait, so neither does the report.
Not yet — but that's changing. Georgia has passed the Home Inspector Licensing Act (SB 458), with state licensing set to take effect in 2028. Until then, anyone can call themselves an inspector, so credentials matter: I'm an InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector (CPI). Inspections here are performed to the InterNACHI Standards of Practice, backed by a lifetime in the building trades and ASE-certified diagnostic training.
