Vinyl Siding Corner Post - J Trim Issue
Comments (3)Bad flashing detail. Flashing runs up underneath the siding and should be visible above the shingles at the bottom wall. Weaving the flashing into the shingles going up the sidewall appears to be the best way. If the roofer didnt remove the siding to apply flashing they didnt do it right. This is the main reason I like simple roofs, fancy dormers and such various architectural flourishes are a PITA for roofers, and will cost you more for roofers that know how to do it because they know it is PITA to do it right. Otherwise cheap roofers will do it wrong majority of the time. http://www.finehomebuilding.com/2006/11/01/installing-step-flashing...See MorePost Post-Inspection-Agreement issues
Comments (6)They have managed to screw you over even if wasn't their intent. Even with the inspection window closed, you have been advised of a material issue that you can't ignore should you put the house on the market, again. Let your agent deal with it and see if they can negotiate a mutually agreeable resolution. This is when they earn their commission. It's easiest and best to try to keep this buyer. You have gotten this far, you are in the last lap. I would make a little concession. Once they agree to it, get them to sign an "As Is" declaration. That's what I did once we got to the point where everything had been agreed. Beyond that point the property becomes "As Is"....See MoreFoundation post issues for seasonal house

Comments (0)We ordered a custom stainless hood from worldcoppersmith.com. The shape is a PR6, where the sides are straight up and down, not tapering in as it goes to the ceiling. We are installing it between 2 existing cabinets, so it's pretty important for those sides to be straight, and they're not. The whole side bows out so that the cabinet rubs against the hood when it closes, yet at the bottom of the cabinet the hood curves in such that there's a gap between the hood and the cabinet. We verified the cabinet was plumb and then removed the hood and put a straight edge against it. CopperSmith support offered a few suggestions to try to remediate, but so far nothing has worked, and the cost keeps building every time I have the contractor come back to try something else. They're refusing to re-make the hood, claiming "the damage appears to have been caused after production or during the installation process." We didn't remove it from its shipping crate until the attempted installation, and the installation didn't cause it. Has anyone had any luck dealing with post-delivery issues or had any success in getting a remake or a refund?...See More- last month
