New construction doesn't mean "perfect" construction. 🚩

I’m out in Farmington today for a new construction closing inspection and found a major red flag. Take a look at this roof-to-wall transition. The flashing was improperly installed, leaving the wood roof decking completely exposed to the elements.


​Over time, rainwater hitting this transition will run straight into that gap, leading to:


❌ Rotting roof decking.

❌ Potential mold growth in the attic.

❌ Costly repairs that should have been done right the first time.


​Don’t skip the inspection just because the home is brand new. My job is to find what the builders missed before you sign on the dotted line.


​📍 Serving Fayetteville, Bentonville, Rogers, and all of NWA.
