What the 11-Month Inspection Covers

After a year of occupancy, new Orange County homes commonly reveal settling issues, HVAC performance deficiencies, grading drainage problems, and cosmetic defects that weren't apparent at closing. Our 11-month inspection provides a systematic, documented record of these findings — giving you the written evidence needed to submit a warranty claim before the builder's one-year obligation ends.

Structural Settling

Drywall cracks, sticking doors and windows, and foundation settling that appear after a full cycle of Florida's temperature and humidity fluctuations.

HVAC Performance

Cooling system performance after a full Florida summer — duct leakage, thermostat calibration, and airflow balance issues often surface after full-season operation.

Grading & Drainage

Orange County's rainy season reveals grading deficiencies not apparent at closing — water pooling near the foundation or improper lot drainage slope.

Cosmetic & Mechanical

Paint, caulking, trim, door hardware, window operation, and appliance function — items the builder is obligated to address under warranty.

Why the 11-Month Timing Matters for Orange County New Builds

Most Florida builders provide a one-year workmanship warranty and a structural warranty beyond that. Once the first year expires, many cosmetic and workmanship defects become the homeowner's responsibility. Scheduling the inspection at 11 months gives you time to compile the report, submit warranty claims, and follow up before the deadline passes. In Orange County's active new construction market — particularly Lake Nona and Oviedo — we complete 11-month inspections throughout the year.

  • Same-day written report ready to submit directly to your builder
  • HVAC, grading, settling, and cosmetic issues all documented with photos
  • Experience with Orange County's major builder communities including Lake Nona

Pre-Closing + 11-Month Warranty Bundle

Many Orange County new construction buyers schedule both a pre-closing inspection and return at 11 months for the warranty follow-up. The pre-closing inspection catches issues before you take possession; the 11-month inspection catches what only becomes apparent after a full year of occupancy — especially after Orange County's rainy season and summer heat cycle.

11-Month Warranty Inspection FAQs — Orange County

When exactly should I schedule my 11-month warranty inspection in Orange County?
Schedule the inspection between 10 and 11 months after your closing date. This leaves enough time to review the report, prepare your warranty claims, and submit them to the builder before the one-year mark. Do not wait until 11.5 months — you may not have time to complete the claim process before the warranty expires. Set a calendar reminder at 9.5 months after closing.
What if my builder disputes the findings?
Our written report with photos within 24 hours is the documented evidence you need. Reputable builders honor legitimate warranty claims supported by third-party inspection reports. If a dispute arises, the inspection report is your record of the home's condition at 11 months. We document findings clearly and objectively — we have no stake in the builder relationship.
What are the most common 11-month warranty findings in Orange County new builds?
The most common findings we document in Orange County 11-month inspections: drywall nail pops and hairline settling cracks, HVAC duct leakage or airflow imbalance after a full cooling season, grading that directs water toward the foundation (especially after the rainy season), caulk separation at exterior penetrations and trim, door and window operation issues from seasonal wood movement, and cosmetic paint touch-up items. Most are builder-correctable under warranty.
My builder's superintendent said they don't need to see a third-party report. What should I do?
Your purchase contract and Florida's implied warranty law give you the right to an independent inspection and to submit warranty claims based on its findings. A superintendent's verbal statement does not override your contractual warranty rights. Submit your warranty claims in writing with the inspection report attached — document everything in writing and follow your builder's formal warranty claim process.
