Time for the home to show issues
The inspection gives you a current snapshot of visible and readily accessible conditions before the builder’s warranty milestone. It does not predict future performance or decide what the builder must repair.
Also called an 11-month warranty inspection
1-Year Warranty Inspection in Arizona
An inspection before the builder’s first-year warranty deadline, documenting visible concerns that may need the builder’s attention after you have lived in the home.
New-home inspection timeline
Three separate checkpoints for the new-home lifecycle
Pre-Drywall, Pre-Closing, and 1-Year Warranty inspections happen at different moments. Each page links to the next stage so buyers and new owners can choose the right inspection without creating a new obligation.
01 · Pre-Drywall
Before the walls are closed
Review visible framing and rough installations while the builder still has the work open.
View Pre-Drywall02 · Pre-ClosingBefore builder handoff and closing
Review the finished home, installed systems, fixtures, and visible workmanship before closing conversations end.
View Pre-Closing03 · 1-Year WarrantyAround month 10 or 11
After months of normal use, document visible concerns before the builder-warranty submission window closes.
Current stageOptional reminder, only with consent
If a buyer wants a later warranty reminder, the process should be explicit: ask for consent during the earlier new-home inspection, record the preferred contact method and approximate builder-warranty deadline, and send a reminder that links back to 1-Year Warranty Inspection availability. No one should be enrolled automatically and the reminder should not promise a discount, a confirmed booking, or a new builder obligation.

A separate checkpoint after everyday use
A 1-Year Warranty Inspection happens after move-in, not at closing. Months of normal use can make visible cracks, leaks, drainage concerns, HVAC behavior, door or window operation, and workmanship issues easier to observe.
Organized builder submission support
Photo-rich documentation helps you decide what to submit through your builder’s warranty process. Your builder’s warranty terms, deadlines, and coverage decisions remain separate from the inspection report.
Consent-based reminder option
If you want help remembering the milestone, ask Upspect during your earlier new-home inspection. A reminder should be sent only with your consent and should point you back to available 1-Year Warranty Inspection booking options.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this an Upspect warranty?
No. This inspection helps document concerns before the builder’s warranty deadline; it is not an inspection warranty issued by Upspect.
When should I schedule a 1-Year Warranty Inspection?
Month 10 or 11 is usually the practical target because it leaves time to receive the report and follow your builder’s submission process. Confirm your builder’s exact terms, deadline, and required submission method.
Is this different from my Pre-Closing Inspection?
Yes. The Pre-Closing Inspection happens before you take possession. The 1-Year Warranty Inspection happens after you have lived in the home and focuses on visible concerns that appeared or became easier to observe during the first year.
Can Upspect remind me later?
Only if you ask for that reminder and provide consent. The reminder should not enroll you in a new service automatically; it should simply point you back to warranty inspection availability before the builder deadline.
