Good Morning,

Thank you for all the hard work that you put in for the home inspection. The house is still empty as we prepare to move in, I spent some time alone and while I was looking around I knew that this was an achievement. Will definitely tell anyone who wants to buy a home about Quality Home Inspections, I can assure you that they will be well prepared before they move in.

Thank you
AB

Major Roofing Issue

As a Delaware Home Inspector I have seen all kinds of issues with homes and on this house when I was going thru my roof inspection, I found that The chimney was in bad shape. The bricks were missing in several areas , the inside liner was damaged, No top cap to protect the liner from water or animals and the thing that I found to be the most interesting is that the roof had just been recently replaced, Yes the roofing contractor forgot to install the flashing at the base of the chimney. After my roof, inspection I examined the interior and the attic of the home and found that were the chimney was located it had a completely new set of issues. Water had been entering the home and caused damage to the plywood, insulation, interior drywall and also mold had started to form.The unfortunate thing is that the house sat vacant for several months so no one was aware of the problems. On the plus side, everything was repaired by the seller prior to settlement.

We purchased a home in Smyrna and Ted was are inspector, My husband and I were so impressed with his experience and how informative of an inspection it was. Ted showed us maintenance items so we could keep a handle on those and he also pointed out the major defects with the house. Once we discussed those items with Ted we felt more comfortable with the purchase of the home. My husband and I want to say thank you for such a thorough and complete job.
