New home from top rated builder turned out with major issues…
Just purchased our new home from a top builder which has one of the best reputations in the market and never thought that they could have missed something... I asked my neighbors who had their closing date earlier than our if they had experienced any issues, all of them where quite happy and indicated that they didn’t bother their self with a home inspector and even the 30 day warranty form. They had some minor paint, scratches and caulking issues which were immediately addressed by the builder. I didn’t want to take a chance and decided to hire Brent. Brent came full equipped. He took his time inside and outside. Spotted loose shingles, unsealed windows, unsealed piping, a leak in a very hidden corner in the basement and here comes the worse part… more than 10 spots approx 2” x 2” diameter mould buried inside the insulation and covered either by coincident or purposely with the overlapping plastic and sealant tape. So I was right again… Hire a professional, let them do their job. Thank you Brent!

Thank you so much Mark! From one Homestars "Top Gun" to another! Yep, new home builds are an interesting thing, many are great, most so-so. As I had told you at the inspection, it does not matter the homebuilder, I don't even care if it is a multi-million dollar custom built home, they are all guilty of questionable building practices and not meeting code. I have heard every excuse in the book from homebuilders. Wait until you show them the mold. They will love to see that. Thanks again, and although I don't want to jinx it, it looks like Victorious Flooring has taken 2011! Thanks again, and thank you for choosing Classic Home Inspections!
