Many new homeowners are surprised to learn that construction defects often don’t show up until months after move-in. That’s why most builders offer a one-year warranty, and why a Builder Warranty Inspection (typically done in the 11th month) is one of the most important inspections you’ll ever schedule. At Imperial Pro Inspection, we specialize in expert builder warranty inspections throughout Fort Bend County, including Sugar Land, Richmond, Rosenberg, Austin Point, Beasley, Katy, and surrounding areas. Our goal is simple: identify any issues while they’re still the builder’s responsibility to fix—not yours.
Protect your investment before your builder warranty expires. Our detailed inspection covers all major systems and workmanship concerns.
Areas like Austin Point, Richmond, and Rosenberg are built on some of Texas’s most expansive clay soils, which are prone to seasonal movement and foundation shifting. Even newly built homes in Sugar Land, Beasley, and Katy aren’t immune to premature issues like drywall cracks, unlevel floors, sticking doors, or plumbing leaks.
Unlike most inspection companies, we include a foundation elevation survey with every builder warranty inspection at no extra charge. This baseline measurement gives you a clear picture of how your foundation is performing and becomes invaluable if issues arise down the road. At Imperial Pro Inspection, we don't just "walk the slab"—we measure it.
New construction inspections are already priced below our resale home inspections.
The process of inspecting new homes during the various stages or phases of construction is often referred to as a 3-phase inspection. Imperial Pro Inspection conducts thorough 3-phase inspections specifically for new homes in Richmond, TX, and the surrounding Fort Bend County area. Our mission is to provide quality control documentation throughout construction, ensuring that each inspection meets the highest standards. We approach every inspection with the care and attention we would give to our own home.

A builder warranty inspection—often called an 11-month home inspection—is performed before your builder’s 12-month warranty expires. We document defects or incomplete work so you can request repairs at no cost to you while your builder is still responsible.
Once your warranty ends, repair costs become your responsibility. A warranty inspection identifies issues early so you can submit a claim to your builder while they’re still obligated to make corrections.
A licensed performance inspection of the visible structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical components, foundation elevation survey drawing (included at no additional charge), infrared thermal imaging scan, moisture intrusion meter testing, sprinkler system operation check, and guidance on cosmetic items. You’ll receive a detailed, photo-rich report within 24 hours or less.
A foundation elevation survey records height measurements across the home to detect settlement or movement. In Houston’s expansive clay soils, this baseline is essential for identifying performance issues early—especially before the warranty expires—so your builder can address them at no cost to you.
No. We include the foundation elevation survey at no additional charge with every builder warranty inspection. This service alone can save you thousands by catching early signs of movement.
Yes—we always have ongoing promotions and coupons. And if you and a neighbor schedule your warranty inspections on the same day, you can save even more. Contact us for current offers and availability.
Ideally between month 10 and month 11 of your first year. This allows time for the inspection, report review, and submitting repair requests to the builder before the warranty period ends.
Infrared scanning detects hidden issues such as missing insulation, air leaks, or moisture intrusion inside walls and ceilings—problems often missed during visual-only inspections.
Common findings include foundation movement, poor drainage, roofing or flashing defects, plumbing leaks, HVAC performance issues, insulation gaps, and incomplete or poor-quality finish work.
You’ll receive your comprehensive, photo-rich report within 24 hours or less, giving you time to submit warranty claims before the deadline.
We provide clear documentation and descriptions you can share with your builder. While we don’t negotiate repairs, our report makes it easier for you to get warranty items approved.
Yes. We note both functional and cosmetic issues—paint, drywall, trim, grout, and finishes—so you can address them with your builder before the warranty ends.
You risk missing defects that become your responsibility after month 12. Catching issues now can prevent costly repairs and disputes later.
