He looked at everything in great detail, his home inspection report was very detailed and showed what was missing, what needed to be replaced, and what was a potential hazard to my health in the home. He had cheap ideas for fixing minor issues rather than paying someone a ton of money to fix it. He also did a great job of explaining what things were and how they malfunctioned. He did a really great job.

Why Choose Us
Why a Home Warranty Inspection Matters Before Your Coverage Ends
Builders across North Central Texas typically back new homes with a one-year warranty covering workmanship and materials. Once that window closes, any repairs come out of your pocket instead of the builder's. A home warranty inspection gives you documented proof of issues while your builder is still contractually obligated to fix them.
Henderson Home Inspection is a TREC licensed home inspector serving Anna and the surrounding communities. We look past the surface finishes to check the systems and structural elements that matter most, then hand you a detailed home inspection report you can bring straight to your builder.
Many homeowners assume that if nothing looks obviously wrong, nothing is wrong. Settling cracks, minor grading issues, and HVAC performance problems are easy to miss without a trained eye. Most defects don't show up until you've lived in the house through a full season or two, which is exactly why timing your inspection matters.
What's Included in Your Warranty Expiration Inspection
A one year warranty inspection from Henderson Home Inspection covers the same systems your builder is responsible for under most Texas builder warranties. We document everything with a home inspection with photos so nothing gets lost in translation between you and the builder.
- Foundation and structural components, checked for movement or settling
- Roofing, flashing, and attic ventilation
- HVAC system performance and ductwork
- Plumbing fixtures, water heater, and visible leaks
- Electrical panels, outlets, and fixture operation
- Windows, doors, and exterior seals for drafts or water intrusion
Our Process
How We Perform Your Warranty Inspection
We built our process around one goal: giving you a clear, well-documented record of your home's condition before your builder warranty expires. Here's what to expect when you schedule a home inspection with us.
Step 1
Schedule and confirm details
You reach out for a home inspection quote, and we confirm a time that works around your builder's warranty deadline so nothing gets missed.
Step 2
On-site residential home inspection
Our local home inspector walks the property from foundation to roofline, testing systems and checking for the kinds of issues builders are contractually responsible for.
Step 3
Documentation with photos
Every finding gets photographed and noted on-site, so your report reflects exactly what we saw, not a generic checklist.
Step 4
Detailed home inspection report delivered
You receive a clear, organized report within a day or two, ready to share with your builder before the warranty period runs out.
What We Offer
Benefits of Scheduling a Builder Warranty Inspection
Homeowners in Melissa, Princeton, and Van Alstyne often reach out to us in month ten or eleven of a one-year warranty, once they realize the clock is running out. Here's what a professional home inspector brings to that timeline.
Negotiating leverage with your builder
A written, photo-backed report gives you documentation to reference when requesting repairs, rather than relying on a verbal description of the problem.
Real savings on future repairs
Issues caught and fixed under warranty cost you nothing. The same repair discovered a year later, after coverage ends, comes straight out of your budget.
Confidence in your home's condition
Whether it's your first home or your fifth, knowing exactly what's working and what needs attention removes the guesswork from homeownership.
Common Questions
Home Warranty Inspection FAQs
When should I schedule a home warranty inspection?
Most builder warranties run for one year from your closing date, so we recommend scheduling around the ten or eleven month mark. This gives your builder time to review and address any findings before coverage ends.
How is this different from a standard home inspection?
A standard property inspection typically happens before you buy or sell. A warranty expiration inspection happens after you've lived in the home, and it focuses on issues that may have developed or become visible during that first year of use.
Do you inspect homes built by any builder?
Yes. Henderson Home Inspection works independently of any builder, so we can inspect your home regardless of who built it, as long as you're still within your warranty period.
Will I get a home inspection report with photos?
Yes. Every inspection includes a detailed home inspection report with photos documenting each finding, so you have clear evidence to share with your builder.

Jim Henderson is the best! So thorough and precise! He always does such a great job and my clients are always very well informed as to the condition of the property they are purchasing. Ginger Weeks RE/MAX DFW Associates Realtor
Ginger WWe were so impressed, even the builder said that he had never seen an inspection that was so thorough, referring to the number of pages in the provided inspection report. It's a new home, and we are so glad we hired Henderson. He took photos of everything and if there was an issue it was highlighted in yellow or red. There were a few little things that we had not noticed. Jim walked us around after he had finished his inspection, so we were able to see everything in the report, he made great recommendations and observations. Very professional. Thank you, Jim!
