Our inspection was on a hot August day last year. Dude even turned on the heat to verify it worked, let it run like 15 minutes. Homeowner was pissed.
My guys were totally anal about the roof and mold. Roof turned out okay, but they found mold in the basement that was resolved.
They fished out a ton of plumbing and leaking issues that we ultimately got resolved (along with the mold). The only thing they didn't do was the HVAC, and in their defense, how many homes actually have something this glaring not addressed for 27 years?
The short history of my house is that the last owner was a single guy that bought it as a short sale five years ago. He did a bunch of updating (master bath, kitchen, new windows, etc.), and then he turned around and tried to make a nice profit by selling and moving back to Western Kansas. My house is pretty big (not bragging), so I'm not surprised that he completely ignored one of the smaller bedrooms. He probably ignored pretty much everything because he apparently wasn't around much.
We had to get a plumber in today to fix a leak in the master bath. I guess the plumbers he hired to renovate the master bath screwed something up in the drain. It's just been a really long week for us, but hopefully, we get through this and get to doing some of the aesthetic work we've wanted to get started on.
That said, the dude also installed a brand new, $800 Bosch dishwasher in the kitchen, $600 Jenn-air convection oven, and left us with a fairly well used, stainless steel Kitchen Aid fridge that is leaking on our kitchen floor. During the inspection, he had the water turned off to the fridge. We figured it was a bad water line, so we had that fixed. Turns out he probably turned off the water because the $1500 fridge he bought was leaking all over the floor.
The guy was kind of a dumbass.
