New homes need home inspection
Even newly built homes should have a home inspection. This is an image of a new home's roof vent. This was from a Delaware Ohio home inspection As you can see it is damaged. The builder even stated that this is normal. He claimed that they do this because "birds remove the end caps".
After eight years of home inspection that was a first. I asked a roofer I know if he had ever herd of that and he said no. I like to double check. I was correct in my first thought that it was a crappy installation. The home buyer was about to be taken advantage of if they had not hired me as a home inspector.
