Just to clarify....many issues we find are normal, and caused by settling, or perhaps a hastily driven nail, a plumbing fitting not tightened enough, a few exposed nails on the roof that could cause a leak, screw pops in the drywall, settling cracks, etc, etc. These are normal and NOT CODE violations specifically......some are aesthetic issues....but should still be found and repaired in a new home.
Yes, sometimes we do find more serious issues. We have had whole roofs replaced, A/C issues, Electrical issues, etc.
I just wanted to clarify that there is a large difference between Building Code violations and other issues that do need to be dealt with and repaired, but are not specifically Code Violations.
When you think of all the parts and systems in a home, all put together in 2 months it is an amazing feat. There will be some issues. If they are found and reported within the year, (in most cases), they will be repaired at no cost to you. Consider us like the last "quality control" check for your home.
