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.

New Home & One-Year Home Warranty Inspections
Your new home is likely the biggest investment you'll ever make. A one year warranty inspection helps you catch hidden defects before your builder's warranty runs out.
Why Choose Us
Why a New Home Warranty Inspection Matters in North Texas
Builders in Anna, Melissa, Princeton, and across Collin County build fast to keep up with demand. That pace means small workmanship issues, from improper flashing to poor grading around the foundation, can slip past final walkthroughs. A thorough home inspection performed near the end of your first year gives you a second, independent set of eyes before those issues become expensive.
Many defects are not obvious at move-in. Drainage problems, minor roof damage, and electrical shortcuts often take months to show symptoms. By the time you notice a stain on the ceiling or a crack along the baseboard, your builder warranty inspection window may already be closing.
Henderson Home Inspection performs new home and one-year home warranty inspections timed to fall within your builder's coverage period, so you have documentation and time to request repairs while your warranty is still active.
What's Included in Your Warranty Expiration Inspection
A builder warranty inspection from Henderson Home Inspection goes beyond a quick walkthrough. It targets the systems and components most likely to develop issues during a home's first year, using the same standards applied to any new construction home inspection.
- Foundation, grading, and drainage review around the home's perimeter
- Roof, flashing, and exterior penetration check for water intrusion points
- Electrical panel, outlets, and wiring inspection for code and safety concerns
- Plumbing fixtures, water heater, and visible pipe connections
- HVAC system function, ductwork, and ventilation performance
- Doors, windows, and exterior seals checked for gaps or improper installation
How the inspection works
Our Process for New Home and One-Year Warranty Inspections
Every inspection follows a consistent, methodical process so nothing gets missed and you receive a report you can actually use with your builder.
Step 1
Schedule Before Your Warranty Deadline
We recommend booking your inspection during months nine or ten of your first year. This timing gives defects the most time to appear while leaving room for builder repairs before coverage expires.
Step 2
On-Site Inspection of Major Systems
As a TREC licensed home inspector, I complete a hands-on review of the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, along with exterior grading and drainage that often go unnoticed at move-in.
Step 3
Documentation With Photos
Every finding is recorded with clear photos so you have visual proof to share with your builder. A detailed home inspection report with photos makes it far easier to get repairs approved without pushback.
Step 4
Report Delivery and Next Steps
You'll receive your full report shortly after the inspection, along with guidance on how to approach your builder about any needed repairs while your warranty is still valid.
What We Offer
Benefits of a One Year Warranty Inspection
Homeowners across Anna, McKinney, and Frisco use this inspection to protect their investment before the manufacturer or builder warranty window closes. Here's what it gives you.
Documentation That Holds Up
A detailed home inspection report gives you written, photographed evidence of issues, which strengthens your position when requesting repairs from your builder.
Time to Get Repairs Made
Scheduling your inspection near the nine or ten month mark leaves enough time for communication and repairs before your one year warranty inspection deadline passes.
Peace of Mind From an Independent Inspector
As an independent new construction inspector, I work for you, not the builder. You get honest findings without pressure toward any particular outcome.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Warranty Inspections
When should I schedule my new home warranty inspection?
Most homeowners get the best results scheduling their one year warranty inspection during months nine or ten of ownership. This gives hidden defects time to surface while still leaving a window for your builder to make repairs before the warranty expires.
What's the difference between a new build inspection and a warranty expiration inspection?
A new build inspection typically happens near closing to catch issues before you move in. A warranty expiration inspection happens closer to the end of your first year and focuses on defects that only become visible over time, such as drainage problems or minor roof leaks.
Do I need a local home inspector who knows North Texas construction?
Yes. Soil movement, drainage patterns, and framing practices vary by region, and a local home inspector familiar with Collin County and North Central Texas building conditions is better positioned to recognize early warning signs specific to this area.
How do I get a home inspection quote for a warranty inspection?
Reach out through Request a Quote or call (214) 843-4003. I'll ask a few questions about your home's age, size, and warranty timeline to give you an accurate price before you schedule a home inspection.

Larry Martin
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!
