Buying a home with a recent addition?

Hello again. Did you recently find that dream home with everything you are looking for? Does it have a recent addition or alteration? This week I inspected a home with a recent alteration. The client stated they didn't get proper permits from the township. When I looked in the basement and in the attic I can see why inspections are so important. The floor system was barely attached to the structure! Brackets? Nails? Do you have to put nails in the brackets?? Yes! The floor joist brackets are only effective when you nail them to the girders.

Brackets, girders, joists, bla.bla.bla. If construction terms just go over your head....don't get in over your head! Please call me for a complete Home Inspection of the property. New, old, renovated, abandoned......all the same to me!

Hope to hear from you soon!
Have to go shovel the 11" of snow that just fell!
Take care,
Ed Romaniello
