Here over the last few months Cherokee County was hit by a few storms including tornadoes, and a lot of hail damage. According to the following article the storms in Cherokee County caused about 13 million dollars in damage with more expected to come in. Our house was included in the hit and being the Atlanta Home Inspector, I knew what to look for and what needed fixing. As I have been doing inspections I have been watching out for the sellers and buyers here in Cherokee because a lot of them don't realize they have storm damage.
Recently I had two different clients come out of different groups that I meet with. What did they want? They wanted to make sure that the contractors that they hired to repair their home did the job that was up to standards and in both instances, neither contractor did a 100% satisfaction job. The one contractor had a few issues that needed addressed, but the other one took full advantage and did a less than satisfactory job, to the point that the contractor had to tear the roof off and redo parts of it.
If you recently know of someone who had storm damage and had a contractor come out and do repairs, have them find a good inspector to go over the work, a nominal fee can save you thousands.
Oh, and I also had to call my contractors back out to the job, for a couple of spots and a side wall that was shifted in. That one isn't going to be an easy fix and when we go to sell, if it isn't fixed, it will end up on the report costing us in the long run.

It just seems like some folk's just don't take alot of pride in the work, they do anymore. You always have alot of those fly by nighters pop out of the woodwork.
