Here are just a few problems we discovered during repair and remodel projects…

-
Faulty Installation
During demolition we found this drywall screw inserted into a live electrical wire. Potential fire hazard.
-
Supports
When we removed flooring, we found walls not sufficiently supported.
-
Post Placement
Weight of the roof is landing on the decking instead of the posts. Potential for decking to fail.
-
Floor
We uncovered this sub-floor cut out at the main door hidden under the “finished” floor.

-
Electrical
On removing drywall, we found electrical wiring and switch boxes/electrical outlets dangling.
-
Decking
Support bands on this deck had separated considerably over time. We first installed lag screws to stabilize the structure and added a third band to overlap the joint.
-
Siding
New siding installed incorrectly over existing siding destroyed the original siding and funneled water into the basement. This damage was done in less than a year.
-
Flashing
Improper flashing installation allowed water to penetrate into the home.
