a very good work done by Ted Gilmour, he spent almost 7 hours to look every inch in the house and explain clearly to me in order for me to understand all the little things.

Hi Bowen,
Thank you for writing about your inspection experience.
We made some significant discoveries: code, safety, functional and cosmetic deficiencies. You used the report to demonstrate to the builder what you required to be repaired. Approx. 2 weeks after the inspection you asked me if I would do a reinspection of the contractor repairs. Not surprising the builder did not respond to all of your requests. Some of the repairs were done with the wrong materials such as the wrong caulking material and some other repairs were simply fudged. Many were not even addressed.
For someone like yourself it would have been very easy for the seller to simply tell you everything was completed and you would have been satisfied. I'm very happy you asked me to check things out.
You have a serious problem with lime deposits on your exterior tile walls that needs to be investigated by a building envelope engineering specialists and to prescribe a solution, do not let this issue slide. If a solution is not found these walls will be quite an eyesore within a couple of yrs.
Wishing you all the best,
Ted Gilmour
