Home Advantage

I happened to drive by this relatively new commercial building a few weeks ago and the wet siding caught my eye so I decided to investigate further. There were obvious drainage issues all around the building as water was running down the siding, fascia boards and back in under the soffit. Chinking between the siding boards was poorly installed and already starting to fail with evidence of water beginning to pe*****te behind some of the siding.

All structures should be inspected periodically. Typical maintenance and repairs are normal, but more serious construction deficiencies or quality of workmanship issues may exist. It’s conceivable some of these deficiencies would and should have been identified/corrected prior to a builder’s warranty expiration period.

Are you having issues with breakers at your electrical panel tripping for no apparent reason? If the breakers are manufactured by Eaton, it’s possible they may be faulty. Eaton has a warranty replacement program in place for certain breakers but many aren’t aware of it, including every electrician I’ve personally talked to. I’ve assisted several home owners in acquiring new breakers for their panel FREE OF CHARGE. Unfortunately, I’ve also had a number of clients who paid electricians to replace the breakers, not knowing of the warranty replacement program.
