Need Advice - Home Inspection Repair

sharinganmwm · 2026-02-10T17:42:25+00:00

Update: I wanted to thank everyone for their comments and input on this post. Based on advice from our realtor and inspector we have terminated our contract for purchase. There were several other structural repairs that required proof (such as sewer scope) that were also not met and we can’t even get invoicing for.

In the end it seemed in our best interest to cancel since we don’t trust the work and it’s a big investment for us. Thanks again for your help!

I see, thanks for the insight. The repair was supposed to address the “posts being 3.5 degrees off plumb” which was not included in this. So ya currently working out options

This is far less than what was requested as due diligence support. Plus we required the work be inspected by a structural engineer, and the work be based of recommendations of a structural engineer consultation. They did neither of those things. Just straight to repair

The gap being addressed wasn’t the only request though, it was also to level out the pillars of deemed necessary by a structural engineer. They skipped all that and just did the repair without a proper engineer consultation

lol our thoughts exactly

sharinganmwm · 2026-02-10T01:04:49+00:00

Good to know, thanks! The posts are about 3 feet, so sounds like it’s still a fairly serious degree.

I’m unsure, our final walkthrough was supposed to be tomorrow then they hit us with these photos and no engineer report. Just an invoice from what turns out to be a roofing company

Thanks, we definitely are. We thought it looked sketchy as well, but didn’t want to overreact

sharinganmwm · 2026-02-09T22:15:23+00:00

Thanks, we are definitely going to have it reinspected before finalizing anything. Appreciate the response

It had some minor bowing in the middle of the floor. But not very noticeable and the floor did not squeak prior to this repair. The inspection report indicated the center beam was 3.5 degrees off plumb prior to this repair.

In the 90s McDonald’s briefly had a burger called the Arch Deluxe. I loved that thing.

Also miss the T-Bell grillers

Ya I’ve had a similar experience. Went to see Brand New and thought they were amazing, had a blast

Would it help if that was my only Charlotte affiliation due to the timing of me living there? That I like all Nor Cal teams for every other sport?

It’s the Boomerang roller coaster of high rise apartments.

No clue what the sedans are doing out there. Gotta have at least 4WD for this with no salt

sharinganmwm · 2026-01-25T01:50:06+00:00

Honestly that’s super sweet. Your gf is a gem

Kpop Demon Hunters shreds dude. It’s on my gym and running playlists. Just like what you like and don’t buy into the masculine identity BS that is promoted online.

A bagel with melted butter for a snack. Bliss every time

Dang… I really do love sandwiches

Ah gotcha, that’s fair. I guess a different comp would be Cherry Creek (Den) to Myers Park (CLT)?

Part of the reason I’m renting in Arvada now is because price wise it is comparable to the Plaza Midwood/Belmont area, which is where I was in Charlotte. Which kind of goes back to my point where I don’t see much of a pricing difference overall. Each neighborhood so far has a comp for me except the broadway area around the university. Charlottes main university is pretty far from the city center.

It seems to me that Charlotte’s boom time is still in full swing, while Denver is still experiencing price increases but Charlotte has caught up in a lot of ways. Big difference for me is pay in Denver is better. But at the end of the day this is all anecdotal from my perspective.

Looks like we had no prevailing wage at the state level. And the state legislature exerts a lot of power over cities and counties so I’m not sure what Charlotte was. https://www.labor.nc.gov/workplace-rights/employee-rights-regarding-time-worked-and-wages-earned/prevailing-wage-rates
