- Buyers are still being told that they don’t need an inspection. That is terrible advise. #construction #electrician #home #homeinspection #plumbing #realestate #airconditioner #newhomebuild
I've been a builder for 28 years and any reputable builder will encourage a customer to get an independent home inspection just for their piece of mind. It does nothing but help a builder show his customer that he is in fact building a quality home. If someone ever tries to talk you out of one....RUN!!!!
The phrase is "peace of mind."
@@dukeshaver199 so true. There is a couple builders with an open door policy for inspections and those customers start on a much better step.
I've have potential clients want to bypass permits and inspections.
Red flag if they start saying those things.
They are looking for a future lawsuit against someone!
Ha. All these things were on the list at my new construction home. That and about 200 others that they are never going to fix.
@@andrewb9942 make em make the repairs. Know your warranty parameters and always get a pre purchase inspection.
You missed all the anti siphon devices required at hose bibs …. You are giving a ton of good information for homeowners to look for. Good job and keep educating homeowners sir.
The funny thing is, builders don't build anything they just sub contract. So they take the lowest price and that sub gives them a matching product.
@@martybadboy going cheaper across the board between material and labor is never going to go well. lol
I was a home inspector if you can get people from the constitution background as an inspector and have them from the start and put it in the contract that they shall be notified before each building inspection and have them stop by and check on progress as most mistakes are hidden buy drywall.
Ok, it costs more, but you'll get a better home. Start with the grading, foundation, plumbing Ruffin, framing, roofing, sidding, plumbing, electrical, and really look before drywall, then drywall, paint in and out side, finish plumbing, electrical. Then you'll have the best house in your zip code.
If your inspector is not qualified in some of the areas of work, hire someone who is. Subs do shit work unless you know what to look for. As any building inspector for the county, they will all say SUBS ARE THE WORST.
@@AmericanVet.4everJesusAmen absolutely on point. We do so many pre-drywall inspections and omg the stuff we see that they wanted to cover right over is CRAZY.
@GoodLookHomeInspection i could not believe how much pressure sell or buyers agents would put on a home inspection, too much time - how long - they can only qualify for this house or some other reasons. I know it's faster with tables, but mine was written reports. Nothing less than 4 hours. And they all expected x-ray eye's. If they would agree to some destructive inspections, we could then tell them why the wall problem in the bathroom is water or the glue did not work on tub walls? Good luck with your inspections, Sir.
No matter how much you pay a contractor, they will use cheapest material, awful job, pocket the money.
I am upgrading my home now, that’s my experience.
@@gund89123 always get multiple bids and itemized list and of materials used
The level of FAIL shown by the builders is why they don't want outside eyes inspecting their work!
And it's exactly why home inspectors exist.

Building in 2024…. We called it the give a fuck factor and its real, and its almost non existent in 2024.
@@locococonuts1136 really bad right now but has been pretty rough even before “Covid”
@@GoodLookHomeInspection yes, i just feel it is particularly bad in this current time for the state i live in. Its currently pumping out thousands of new homes as fast as possible to keep up with the huge increase of citizens that continue to move here
Fkin HomeDepot got better laborers than these home builders do. Ask me how I know, they built my dog a house.
I hope this wasn’t all in one house……
@@Yohann67 yes, all one house!
@@GoodLookHomeInspection Now that is impressive! Worst thing I see in my neighborhood is nonexistent to poor soffit ventilation. Then roofers sell this homeowners ridge vents, cause you know, they are trendy. Our neighborhood architecture is mostly hip roofs so they get a whopping run of 6-10 feet…..
That house was a wreck! That would be enough for me to cancel the purchase. We had our present (new build)house inspected prior to closing. Everything was good except for a toilet that would not drain. Turned out when they backfilled the foundation prior to pouring the slab the Bobcat operator hit the drain and broke it. The drain pipe then filled with dirt and gravel which partially blocked it. The builder was great, they repaired it immediately and we closed the next day. So yeah, the extra money we spent for a pre-closing inspection was worth every dime.
@@thomasdragosr.841 wow. If all they found was a drain, I wanna do that inspection and see what I find.
@@GoodLookHomeInspection Actually the rest of the house was good. The inspector we used was highly recommended.
These aren't rehabbers, they are rehackers.
Damn I love your level of sarcasm.
Better make sure you get a good one ….do not use realtor recommendations they get a cut….may be better off if one can get a professional plumber ,electrician, building inspector and pay them may cost less than the house inspector……..home inspectors can be beholden to the buyer or seller…..be careful of that also…..
@@blackpine6693 I’ve never seen an inspector get a cut from the realtor. That would definitely get our license revoked if they were caught. I just wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. That sounds slimy.
@@GoodLookHomeInspection a family member was a real estate agent……she said up front she gets a fee from the people she recommends…she is pretty up front ….and if she gets it a cut…..
I am sure many do….
Every home inspector I've hired has missed major problems themselves.
@@xomthood that sucks. Just curious what state you are in?
@@GoodLookHomeInspection I've bought homes in California, Iowa, Kansas and Colorado. Home inspectors missed broken roof trusses, cavities under driveways, inoperable crawl space ventilation, disconnected drains, missing back flush preventors, unvented hot water heaters and more. true, they did catch other stuff, but all the aforementioned items were caught afterwards by lay persons or myself.
@@xomthood happens here also. Complacent is never ok. I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. Love the comments Hope to talk more soon.
I had one poke his itty bitty screw driver in to pitch grove on a 2 x 4 and call it rotted wood. That butt head cost me 400 bucks.

Looks like a DR Horton home.
Buy a nice used home, maybe?
Everything you showed are minor. Not a big deal.
You are kidding, right? If this is what you can see, imagine the plumbing, HVAC, electrical and other stuff hidden by walls and floors.
