Vince did not report my improperly flashed window, which is at the front of my house, next to my front door. There are very obvious, large holes in the flashing, that allows water to pour directly into my wall.
Because of that, the entire wall, all the way down the foundation is completely rotted. I am now facing $20k+ in repairs.
Every person I've had inspect it has noticed the issue within the first few seconds of looking at the window.
Vince also did not notice the drywall cracks underneath 5 of my windows, as well as drywall cracking above my doors, indicating foundation issues.
When I contacted Vince, he did not try to have a conversation with me, he immediately got his father (the owner) to speak for him.
His father scheduled himself to come take a look at the issue, but when he came to my house he got argumentative. He told me that his son is excellent and no inspector can catch everything.
When I mentioned that I work in Architecture and this is something that should have been obvious, he resorted to snide comments, telling me "you're just an expert then."
I did not ask him to come to my house, he volunteered himself. I have no idea why he even bothered if his plan was to be rude and defensive.
I don't know about you, but an inspector saying they can't catch everything (in reference to something that was on full display,) does not give me much confidence in their knowledge or expertise. I would understand if this was a hidden issue, but I think windows should be a pretty elementary topic for most skilled home inspectors. read more
