If you’re buying or selling a home, you know that there are a lot of pieces to the puzzle. One thing you want to be sure of on either end, though, is the integrity of the home. Inspections are common and they are great for obvious reasons—someone who can check the roof, furnace, electrical, kitchen, deck….you name it. It’s a good way to get the general overview of the state of the home.
Perdue Builders would like to offer our services to go one step further—a complete and detailed exterior evaluation including moisture intrusion testing.
Why might you pursue this service if you are selling? Throughout the years there have been multiple siding lawsuits from failed siding. This has left people with no choice but to replace their exterior siding, and that’s no small project. Because of that, these faulty siding brands are now flagged during inspections when selling. This can be a big surprise to sellers which leads to untimely decisions: will you lower the cost of your house or fix the problem so that you can sell your home at the full price? Neither is ideal. It’s great to find out if there is anything faulty beforehand.
What about buying? Do you want to purchase a home only to find out that it needs tens of thousands of dollars in exterior updates? I didn’t think so. Do all of the precautionary checks before you sign the papers; spend a little extra upfront to avoid a lot later.
Perdue Builders offers this in-depth exterior evaluation so you know exactly what you are getting into, including the unseen areas to confirm that they are moisture-free. From there, you will receive a detailed run-down of everything that we’ve found, whether the problem areas are a priority or if they can wait, and then, estimates for anything we recommend.
Call us at (425) 398-8609 or reach out to us here to find out more details and receive a detailed exterior home evaluation.
