New Home Warranty Inspection
New Home & New Home Warranty Inspections in Calgary
Buying a brand-new home in Calgary doesn’t mean it’s defect-free. Many construction deficiencies are found in newly built homes—often hidden behind finishes or missed during rushed builds. Spot On Home Inspections provides independent new home and new home warranty inspections across Calgary and surrounding areas, helping homeowners identify issues early—before builder warranties expire.
We inspect homes built by major and local Calgary builders and understand where shortcuts commonly occur, how Calgary soil and climate affect homes, and what issues builders are responsible to correct under warranty.
Why New Home & Warranty Inspections Matter in Calgary
New homes go through multiple construction stages, tight timelines, and varying trade quality. While builders follow minimum code requirements, code compliance does not always mean quality or long-term performance.
A professional new home inspection helps identify deficiencies missed during municipal or builder inspections, incomplete or rushed workmanship, improper installations hidden behind drywall or finishes, issues that worsen after occupancy, and items that should be corrected under builder warranty—not at your cost.
In Calgary’s climate, small issues can escalate quickly due to freeze-thaw cycles, expansive soils, chinooks, and temperature swings.
Types of New Home Inspections We Offer
Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI / Pre-Possession)
Completed before key handover to identify visible deficiencies, document concerns for the builder, reduce post-possession disputes, and start ownership informed and confident.
New Home Possession Inspection
Completed shortly after move-in, focusing on interior finishes, mechanical and electrical performance, safety concerns, and builder follow-up documentation.
11-Month (New Home Warranty) Inspection
Completed before the 1-year builder warranty expires to identify settlement-related movement, HVAC performance concerns, roof, attic, insulation deficiencies, and moisture or drainage issues
