The roof covering was bulged or bubbled in some areas, which may make it more susceptible to damage. A qualified contractor should evaluate, then repair or replace as advised prior to the inspection objection deadline.
The roof was covered with debris in areas. This condition could trap moisture and conceal damage. Latent defects may exist. A qualified contractor should evaluate, then repair or replace as advised.
The siding and/or trim in areas were missing paint.
Recommend a qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as needed.
Peeling paint was present in areas.
Recommend a qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as needed.
Gaps at intersections of the siding, trim, and door and window openings, as well as any other holes in the siding, should be sealed with an appropriate sealant to prevent water penetration into the wall system. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
An exterior light fixture was loosely mounted to the wall and should be secured tighter. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
Dense vegetation was present around the house in areas. This condition limited and restricted my visual inspection. Dense vegetation and landscaping up against or near the house foundation and exterior walls may be prone to water penetration and insect infestation. Trimming, pruning, and some landscaping are recommended by a qualified contractor
The property had areas of neutral or negative drainage, which will route runoff from precipitation to the foundation. Excessive moisture content in soil supporting the foundation can cause foundation and other structural damage from undermining, heaving, or settling, depending on soil composition, moisture content, and other conditions. The ground around the property should slope away from all sides, ideally 6 inches for the first 10 feet from the house foundation perimeter. Downspouts, surface gutters, and drains should also be directing water away from the foundation. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary according to current standards.
Large trees near the house have branches that overhang the property. Falling branches due to conditions such as wood decay, high winds, or heavy snow loads may cause injury, death, or damage. Significant weakening of large branches by conditions such as core decay may not be visible by persons without special training. Consider having these trees evaluated by a qualified arborist. Evaluating trees lies beyond the scope of the general property inspection.
Recommend a qualified contractor to evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The guard/handrail had horizontal railings. This creates a climbing risk and a fall or injury could occur if not corrected. A fall or injury could occur if not corrected. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
An object mounted to the roof had fasteners that were improperly installed and were not sealed. This condition may allow moisture to enter the roof and attic systems if not corrected.
A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
A defect was noted in the flashing at the detached garage roof covering at the time of inspection. Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate further and repair or replace as needed
The exterior wall-covering material was damaged.
A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
The siding showed cracking in one or more places. Recommend monitoring, and if the problem exacerbates, a qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary and according to current standards.
The inspector observed peeling paint in areas. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair as necessary.
The gutters were damaged in one or more areas.
A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as needed.

The photo-electric reverse sensors are installed too high from the garage floor surface.
The vertical distance between the photo-eye beam and the floor should be no more than 6 inches.
I observed a missing handrail at the exterior steps.
There is more than one step here, and I recommend installing a handrail for safety.
The floor had a noticeable hump or rise. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The floors showed signs of minor damage and wear, particularly in high-traffic areas. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The door had a damaged or missing doorstop. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The egress window in the basement was missing an escape ladder.
An electrical outlet was loose in the wall. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The light fixture flickered possibly indicating a loose connection at the switch or fixture. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
At the interior stairs, the handrail hand horizontal railings. This creates a climbing risk for children. A fall or injury could occur if not corrected. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The stair floor squeaks when stepped on. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
Carbon monoxide detectors were not installed within a specified distance of each room lawfully used for sleeping purposes. The inspector recommends the installation of carbon monoxide detectors in appropriate locations. Colorado House bill 1091 became effective on July 1, 2009, which requires Carbon Monoxide detectors to be installed in most properties that have a fuel-burning heater or appliance, a fireplace, or an attached garage.
There are no carbon monoxide detectors on the lower or upper levels.
A saddle valve was present in the plumbing at the time of inspection. They are prone to leak over time as the rubber seal will eventually deteriorate and they clog up as calcium deposits build up at the small opening. Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and replace it with a permanent valve as needed.
The oven had excess grease or was dirty at the time of inspection. Excess grease may be a fire hazard. Recommend a qualified contractor to evaluate and clean as needed.
There was no ventilation (exhaust fan or openable window) In the laundry area. Normally an exhaust fan or an openable window is needed for proper ventilation. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The door had a damaged or missing doorstop. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.

Recommend a qualified contractor to evaluate and repair or replace as needed.
Some caulking in the tub shower area was loose, old, or poorly done. Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and re-caulk as needed.
The property water supply pressure is measured at the exterior faucet or laundry appliance hose bib. Property water supply pressure exceeded the 80 pounds per square inch (PSI) limit considered the maximum allowable by generally accepted current standards. Excessively high water pressure can stress connections in the plumbing system and appliances are likely to cause leaks.
A qualified contractor should install a pressure regulator or evaluate and repair or replace one as necessary.
An improper material was used for the TPR pipe. The pipe should be a heat-rated material. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The heating system cabinet was corroded, rusted, or damaged in some areas. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
The condensation drain components for the HVAC system were leaking or showing signs of the previous leaking. A qualified contractor should evaluate and repair or replace as necessary.
There was a gap where the refrigerant lines enter the plenum. Recommend a qualified contractor evaluate and seal as needed.
