Martin,

Several people wondered why I would spend the money on a home inspector when purchasing a new construction. I’m pleased to say it was some of the best money I spent. I certainly would not have been able to spot the problems you noted until well after the situation became a major repair bill or safety issue. I was shocked by several of the things that got past the city inspectors. Needless to say, the builder may not be so happy I called you in, but I’m glad to be able to hold them accountable to the standards that they promised.

Thanks so much!

Ernest
