Move-In & Warranty · How we finish and hand over
Finished right, and backed for a year
The last few weeks of a build decide how a house feels to move into. You walk it, we finish your punch list, then we test it, clean it, and hand you the records for everything in it. After that, we stand behind it for a year.
This isn't a choice you need to make. It's how every Bedrock job ends.

How we finish a job
Seven steps between "nearly done" and the keys in your hand. The final payment waits until the last one is done.
STEP 1
Two walkthroughs, one punch list
When the work is nearly done, you walk the house on your own first, so you can talk it over without us in the room. Then we walk it together and you hand us your list. Everything on it gets finished before we call the job done.
Time to look closely, on your own schedule
One clear list, so nothing gets forgotten
STEP 2
Final inspection
We schedule the county's final building inspection and meet the inspector on site. Once it passes, a copy of the sign-off goes in your home records.
No dealing with the county yourself
Proof the house passed, kept with your records
STEP 3
Systems started and explained
Heating, cooling, hot water, fresh-air, and other equipment are started and checked by us or the trade who installed it. Someone shows you how each one works, how to adjust it, and what it needs, timed for when you can be there.
Everything running before you move in
You know how to use and care for it
STEP 4
Final air-tightness test
Every home gets a final blower door test, a fan in a doorway that measures how airtight the house is. You get the result in writing with your home records. If it misses the target, we fix the leaks and pay for the retest.

STEP 5
Final clean
We clean the house and site ourselves before you move in: construction dust, debris, and leftover materials out, so it's ready to live in.

Leftover materials hauled away
STEP 6
Your home records
You get a shared online folder, plus a printed folder of the key papers: warranties and manuals, paint colors and finish names, test results, the final inspection, and photos of the walls before drywall so you know where pipes and wires run.
Everything about your house in one place
Easier repairs and remodels down the road
STEP 7
Final payment when it's actually done
The final invoice, and the retainage (the small amount held back from each payment during the build), are due only after the punch list is finished. You pay the last of it when the house is done, not before.
You hold leverage until every item is done
A clear finish line for both of us
After you move in
Your warranty
Simple terms. We'd rather fix a small thing early than have you live with it, and we want you happy enough to tell your friends.
1 year
Workmanship warranty
For one year after the job is done, if something we built isn't right, we come back and fix it at no charge. If damage comes from use or an accident, we'll still fix it, billed at our normal rate.
Simple terms, no fine print to argue over

Product and trade warranties pass to you
Manufacturer warranties on windows, roofing, equipment, and fixtures, and the trades' warranties on their own work, are passed straight to you, with the paperwork in your home records. Many run well past a year.
Longer coverage on major products
Paperwork already filed for you
Terms vary by product and trade. Appliances you buy yourself aren't covered by Bedrock.
Just reach out
Call, text, or email when something isn't right. No forms or ticket numbers. We don't schedule check-up visits; we come when you need us. It's a small valley, and we'd rather hear about a sticky door early.

FAQ
Common questions
What warranty does Bedrock give on a new home?
One year on our workmanship, starting when the job is done. If something we built isn't right, we fix it at no charge. Manufacturer and trade warranties pass straight to you, and many of them run longer.
What is a punch list?
The list of small things to fix or finish before a job is done: a sticky door, a paint touch-up, a missing cover plate. You walk the house on your own first, then we walk it together, and everything on the list is finished before the final invoice.
Do you come back after we move in?
Any time something isn't right. There are no scheduled check-up visits; just call, text, or email. It's a small valley, and we're close by.
