Section Detail

Exterior

The exterior was inspected from ground level, including the siding, trim, windows, doors, grading, and the rear deck. Overall the cladding and trim were in serviceable condition for the age of the home, with isolated items noted below.

Grading around the foundation was generally acceptable, sloping away from the structure on most elevations. Routine maintenance of caulking and exterior finishes will help preserve the building envelope going forward.

Limitations
  • Areas of the exterior concealed by vegetation, stored items, or snow cover were not inspected.
  • The inspection is visual and does not include destructive investigation behind the cladding.
  • Below-grade portions of the foundation are not visible and are outside the scope of this inspection.
Rear Deck
Plan to Address

Missing Post Cap / Connection Detail

A post-to-beam connection at the rear deck was not fitted with a proper cap or bracket. Over time, an inadequate connection can allow movement at the joint. Recommend this is further evaluated and addressed by a qualified contractor.
