I ran into an instance where both hot ,red and black were run straight through the switch box and and the white neutral went through the switch this would need correcting,the white neutral should remain neutral and connected through to fixture, the red and black HOT wires should go through the dual throw switch,red to red ,black to black,put your trust in a good voltage tester or an electrician that really knows what he is doing,this was in a home built in 2011,I advised my friend to call home warranty and ask for another electrical inspection.
