WILSON INSPECTION INC

pertinent details of inspection, running all the appliances, noting one door that might need to be replaced. Well, six months in, and we had to start replacing all of the doors (they were all rotten around the frames and had been painted), the deck was painted over and we realized it too was rotten when the following summer, I put my foot through it. So we tore that down and found that they affixed the deck directly to the WOOD siding with no flashing. The front brick stoops are affixed directly to the wood siding as well, no flashing and are rotting underneath. I should have fired him on the spot when he said the attic looked good. And I'm like, "I see sunlight." So, we're about to drop 80-90k (off the money tree in our back yard!) into this money pit of a house that, if we had known what to look for and had had a decent inspector, we would never have bought in the first place. So, thank you so much for suggesting that we put termite stakes in the ground around the house, "just in case", even though you "didn't see any". Well, I'm pretty well versed in termite and carpenter ant control now. You rarely SEE them. The damage is clear as day now that I know what to look for. And no, it's not obscured by insulation. But anyone with the proper knowledge and eye balls would have seen the damage left behind by an inactive termite infestation. That's why we HIRED you. Want to know how the carpenter ants are getting in? Poor construction, which a decent building inspector would have noticed and pointed out. We will never recover the money we've had to pour into this house and are still pouring into it. So this review is my gift back to you. Enjoy.
