Beyond the house this looks like a quickly built subdivision from before the '08 crash. I think the foundation ctacking on the fencing which is the same for everyone makes a statement to the lack quality control and maybe lack of municipal inspecting as well. The tile roof is a replace item. The windows as with all subdivisions built for quick profit are the cheapest they could find. The offest roof penetrations and bubbling on the flat deck all point to a less than skilled work force. I'd stay away from any subdivisions built during the bust cycle of the early 2000s.
The inspector is doing all he can to cover his ass without stating the facts....
but wtf does this mean ? "Our inspection of slab foundations conforms to industry standards, which is that of a generalist and not a specialist" Read it a few times...... our inspection conforms toindustry standards.... but does the foundation conform..... ????
Thruout the report he back pedals and tells you to bring in a specialist. I don't see any value in his "inspection". He is just trying to cover his ass and keep everyone happy. Probably gets part of the commission from the realtor after it sells. I have little use for generalists. Every home we buy I bring in a roofer, electrician, plumber, concrete guy.
Stay away from anything built during that crazy rush of 2000-2010. But especially subdivisions.
