Advantage Home Inspections, LLC (Charleston, WV) offers specialized warranty inspection services to ensure your new home in Charleston, West Virginia, is in top condition before your warranty expires. These inspections are crucial for identifying any potential issues that should be covered under your home's warranty.

What are Warranty Inspections?

Warranty inspections are performed towards the end of a home warranty period, typically provided by a builder or a home warranty company. This inspection aims to identify any defects or problems in your new home that are still under warranty, ensuring they can be addressed without cost.

Range Of Warranty Inspections We Offer

New Home Warranty Inspections

These inspections are conducted towards the end of a new home's warranty period, typically around the 11th month after purchase. This inspection aims to identify any construction-related issues that should be covered under the builder's warranty before it expires.

Extended Warranty Inspections

We offer inspections for homeowners who have purchased extended warranties on their homes or specific systems within the house (like HVAC, roofing, or appliances) to assess any issues that should be claimed under these extended warranties.

One-Year Warranty Inspections for Renovations

Similar to new home warranties, these inspections focus on recently renovated areas of your home. The assessment ensures that all renovation work is up to standard before the warranty on the renovation work expires and addresses any defects.

System-Specific Warranty Inspections

These inspections are focused on specific systems in your home that are under warranty, such as electrical systems, plumbing, or roofing. They are particularly useful if you have a warranty on a recently installed system.

Pre-Expiration Inspections

Tailored for homeowners whose home warranty is about to expire, these inspections are comprehensive and aim to ensure that any issues covered under the warranty are documented and reported before the expiration date.
