“Bruce and Don explained every deficiency they found and how to correct them. Very professional inspectors.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you, Gary! That’s exactly what we want every client to walk away with: not just a report, but a clear understanding of what we found and what to do next.

And for every new build owner, that “what to do next” matters most at month 11. Here’s how to get the most out of your builder’s warranty once you have your list in hand:

1️⃣ Put it in writing. Submit your list through your builder’s warranty portal or by email, not over the phone. A written request has a date on it.

2️⃣ Send it before the deadline, not on it. Most warranties require items to be reported within the warranty period. Give yourself and your builder time.

3️⃣ Attach the photos. Clear photos with each item make it easy for the warranty team to schedule the right trade the first time.

4️⃣ Ask for a schedule. Once your builder confirms the list, ask when each item will be addressed and by whom.

5️⃣ Keep a copy of everything. Your report, your submission, and every reply. If an item comes back later, you have a record that it was reported on time.

Our 11 Month Builder Warranty Inspection report is built to make every one of those steps easy. Every item is photographed, explained, and organized so you can hand it straight to your builder.

3,045. That’s how many new homes and housing units Sumner County permitted in 2025. Up more than 70 percent from the year before, and more than almost any county in Middle Tennessee.

Gallatin. Hendersonville. White House. Portland. If you’re one of those new homeowners, here’s what nobody tells you at closing:

Your house hasn’t finished settling in yet.

A new home spends its first year going through every season for the first time. Lumber dries out and shrinks. The ground settles around the foundation. The HVAC runs through its first full summer and winter. Doors, drywall, and caulk all move a little.

That’s why these are some of the most common things we find at month 11:

🔹 Drywall cracks at the corners of windows and doors
🔹 Nail pops in walls and ceilings
🔹 Doors that rub, stick, or won’t latch
🔹 Caulk and grout pulling away at tubs, showers, and counters
🔹 Soil settling against the foundation and sending water the wrong way
🔹 Rooms that never quite heat or cool like the rest of the house

None of that means your builder did a bad job. It means your house went through its first year. Most builder warranties are written to cover exactly this, but only if the items are reported before the year is up.

At your 11 month inspection, we go through the entire property, compare every finding to your builder’s specific warranty, and give you one clear list to hand your builder while there’s still time on the clock.

🏡 Bought a new build in the last year? Read this before your warranty runs out.

About half the houses selling in Gallatin right now are new construction. That means a lot of Sumner County families are inside their first year with a builder warranty clock ticking. ⏳

Most builder warranties cover workmanship for the first 12 months. After that, the repair bills are yours.

Here’s what we find at 11 months, over and over:
🔍 Drywall cracks around doors and windows as the house settles
🔍 Missing or shifted insulation in the attic
🔍 Grading that sends water toward the foundation
🔍 Slow plumbing leaks hiding under sinks
🔍 Gaps in exterior caulking where water can get behind trim and siding

You won’t see most of it. We will.

Our 11 month builder warranty inspection walks your entire property and compares every finding to the actual wording of your warranty. Your builder gets a clear, fair list with photos while there is still time to fix it. We work with builders, not against them. 🤝

📅 If you closed between November 2025 and February 2026, now is the time to book.

📞 Call 615 916 7264 or book at absoluteinspectors.com and mention code WARRANTY.

Myth: Property inspectors only inspect houses.

Fact: We inspect your business too.

Warehouses. Retail centers. Office buildings. Multi-unit and mixed use properties. If you’re buying, leasing, refinancing, or managing a commercial property in Middle Tennessee, you need to know exactly what you’re getting before you sign.

Our commercial property inspections are led by Bruce Quinn, a Certified Master Inspector and Certified Commercial Property Inspector. He brings the same thorough, detailed approach our residential clients know us for, scaled up for the roof, structure, mechanical systems, and everything that keeps your business running.

You get a clear, organized report you can take to your lender, your broker, or the negotiating table.

Buying or managing a commercial property? Call or text (615) 916-7264 and let’s talk about your building.

We are grateful for you.

Tomorrow is October 1st. Time to get the skeletons out of the closet. 💀

If your house sat on the market this summer and never sold, you're not alone. Buyers have more choices right now than they've had in years, and they're picky. One surprise on their inspection report, and they walk or they come back asking for thousands off.

Here's the thing most sellers never hear: the problem usually isn't the house. It's what nobody knew about the house.

That's why we created Relist Ready.

Before you go back on the market, we inspect your property from top to bottom and show you exactly what a buyer's inspector is going to find. No surprises. No skeletons.

Then you and your agent decide:
✅ Fix it before you list
✅ Price it in with confidence
✅ Or put it in front of buyers up front, so there's nothing left to renegotiate

You get to relist with a clean slate, a clear plan, and a lot more control over your sale.

Our inspections are known for being thorough to a fault. For a seller, that's exactly what you want. Better you hear it from us now than from the buyer's inspector at the closing table.

Selling in Sumner County or anywhere in Middle Tennessee? Start October with a fresh start. Call or text (615) 916-7264 and ask about Relist Ready.

Agents: if you have expired or withdrawn listings you're trying to win back, let's talk. This is built for you too.

We are grateful for you.

Expired listings are piling up in Middle Tennessee. 📉

In August alone, 2,949 listings were cancelled or expired. For every 100 homes that closed, 125 came off the market unsold.

Buyers have options right now. Sellers have feelings. 😅

That's why we built Relist Ready. Before the home goes back on the market, we inspect it for the seller. Same findings the buyer's inspector would find, just weeks earlier and on the seller's terms.

Here's how it works:
🔍 We inspect within 48 hours. The seller is our client.
📋 The seller gets a one-page Seller Action Summary: safety items first, then what to fix before listing, what to get an estimate on, and what's just normal wear.
🛠️ The seller fixes what makes sense, and we verify the repairs.
🏡 You relist with a better story for the next buyer.

Every report is reviewed by Bruce Quinn, a Certified Master Inspector. Our reports are thorough. Some of you have said "to a fault." We took that as a compliment. 🐧

Agents: send us your next expired listing. Give us a call or message us here.

We made it!! It's "Fearful Friday"!! That special time of the week when your humble yet lovable inspectors share the things we've seen that leave us shaking our heads...or shaking in our boots.

This week: a BRAND NEW house. Just built. And a dryer vent that could've burned it down.

This home's dryer vents out through the roof. When Bruce got up there and looked inside, the opening cut in the roof decking wasn't cut to full size. The dryer exhaust was squeezing through a gap about 1 to 1¼ inches wide. The code calls for a full 4 inch path, all the way outdoors.

Here's why that matters. Every load pushes hot air and lint out that vent. When the path is choked down, the lint doesn't make it out. It builds up inside the duct, right where the heat is.

Failure to clean is the number one cause of dryer fires in U.S. homes, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. Lint and dust are the most common things to catch fire first. And dryer fires peak in the winter months, which are right around the corner.

The scariest part? Nobody would ever know. This one's on the roof. You can't see it from the laundry room. The dryer just takes a little longer to dry every month, until one day it doesn't.

A quick word on rooftop dryer vents in general. They're allowed, but think about who is going to climb up on the roof once a year to clean it. The Tennessee State Fire Marshal recommends cleaning your dryer vent pipe at least once a year. On a roof vent, that usually means paying someone with a ladder.

And to everyone who's been told, "It's a new house, it doesn't need an inspection"... this is why it does.

New homes are built fast, by a lot of different trades, and sometimes one step gets missed. That's not a knock on builders. It's why your builder gives you a warranty. But the warranty only helps if the problem gets found and reported before the year is up.

If your home is coming up on 11 months, now is the time. We go through the entire property, compare what we find to your builder's warranty, and give you a clear list to hand your builder while there's still time on the clock.
