A recent home inspection conducted by Ace Home Inspection, LLC of Warner Robins has saved a couple tens of thousands of dollars in repairs to their new home. While most new home owners tend to focus on mainly cosmetic issues, a professional home inspector is trained to evaluate structural and mechanical systems. These systems in new homes are usually installed in a professional manner but sometimes corners are cut leading to expensive repairs.
This particular home had two major structural defects concerning the brick veneer. The color of the brick and mortar made it difficult to see the failures in construction. Close examination of the exterior, especially over door/window openings and corners sometimes shows trouble spots. The proper installation of the lintel and brick ties to the wooden structure is crucial.
After a thorough inspection of this beautiful home, the defects were found and reported in such a way as to make it easy for both client and builder to see and fix. The client was very knowledgeable in construction and was surprised to learn of these items as he thought he knew all of the problems that existed with the home. Here is their testimonial following the inspection:
"Ace Home Inspection,
I can't think of anything that could have made my home inspection better! Howard is very thorough and knowledgeable in identifying problems and potential problems. He was quick to notice problems that I should have seen. Ace Home Inspection has been very professional in every aspect from start to finish of our home inspection process.
The website is outstanding with a very easy to navigate interface. The final report included pictures and examples of construction examples to back up issues that were identified during the home inspection. This makes it easy to communicate issues with the home to the builder. This is helpful when purchasing a home or in my case, before the warranty is up on my home.
I have had many home inspections and this has been the best experience by far. I would recommend Ace Home Inspection to anyone looking at buying a new home or prior to a warranty expiring.
Thank you very much,
Rich & Arlene G."
Whether a home is brand new, old or somewhere in-between, a home inspection conducted by a trained professional is crucial. Investments in a home are a large part of personal budget demands. I would much rather spend $5000 on a vacation with my family than to spend it on repairs for my home, wouldn't you?
