The listing agent called and told me that the seller is a general contractor. That he and his roofer could not understand why I had a problem with this finished product. Just wanted to get your opinion.

Greg,
Jay beat me to the punch but it just goes to show you what you are up against when the entire public is under the impression that just because someone has a license they know what they are doing. I have had the same discussion with a GC on his home that he was selling. The first words out of his mouth as I was getting out of my truck was. “Hi, Im a general contractor and I built this house.” He should have been ashamed to say it too after I saw some of the work that went into the home. We have seeing a lot of shoddy work (especially roofs) since the hurricane. I even had a roofing contractor try to hire me to pass his work on a house that he had done. They had hired a bunch of fellas from south of the border, dropped them off at the home and never came back until the job was done. Needless to say I passed. The neighbors had told the buyers the work crew was putting the felt on vertically across the roof. I fully expect to hear and see a lot of roofs beginning to fail in the next couple of years or sooner.

Hi Greg:
Don’t for get that quite often realtors are realtors because they don’t know much about any thing.It’s the dollar that they are after. You are there to protect the interests of the purchaser and to also in the long run improve construction practices and applications.

Here is an owner/builder project in NE Fla. Builder thought he could save money doing work himself… plumbed all hot water with 1/2" , for 4/2 (washer, kitchen, 2 full bathrooms). I wonder what the inspector thought of this (2004 house).
