Think NEW construction means ZERO problems? Think again!

Just because a home is brand new doesn’t mean it’s defect-free! 🏠⚠️


​I’m inspecting a newly built home in Lowell, Arkansas, and we found three major roof defects that could cost thousands if left uncorrected:


​1️⃣ Missing Roof Ventilation: Proper attic airflow is essential to prevent heat buildup, premature shingle failure, and moisture accumulation.


2️⃣ Missing Roof Flashing: Key transition zones are left unsealed, creating prime entry points for roof leaks and water damage behind siding.


3️⃣ Missing Gutters & Drainage: Without gutters, heavy rains shed water directly along the foundation, increasing the risk of soil erosion and water intrusion.


​Before you sign on the dotted line, get an independent new construction home inspection! 🛠️
