Grounded Home Inspectors Raise Concerns
Grounded Home Inspectors Raise Concerns
We had a saying in my aviation squadron that “there is always enough time to do it right the second time.” Cutting corners was not
option with lives at stake. Unfortunately, some roofers don’t have this mentality and a quick job may be prioritized over a quality job. A common problem we have been finding with new roofs, is over driven nails. Luckily, for these hasty roofers, there is an equal number of hurried home inspectors who briskly scan the roof from the ground, and won’t be able to observe the defects.
So what is the problem with over driven nails?
There is no easy repair that I know of. The man hours involved in correcting this would make the cost very high. Home inspectors who refuse to walk any roof are missing this defect. Anytime its safe to do so, we inspect the roof from on the roof and find these conditions for our clients.
