Branham’s Enlightening Home Inspections

Seller beware.
We are fortunately getting our home sold despite this guy. Sellers will end up making unnecessary payments to get unnecessary work done.
His inspection report said we needed a licensed chimney company to repair 2 chimney dampers. The dampers have holes in them because the fireplaces are gas, not because they needed repairing, but he didn’t know this, so we ended up paying for a chimney company to say the dampers were fine.
He said the home needed to be treated for termites, but the tunnels he saw were dead ends – no live activity. This does not need treatment.
He said we needed lights and electrical outlets repaired by a licensed electrician, because he couldn’t find the switches for the lights or the circuit breaker box, which is in plain view. He also said a licensed electrician needed to repair 2 cover plates. Try finding an electrician to do piddly work like this!
He said we needed to replace all corroded plumbing fixtures, even though some of these were plastic, which doesn’t corrode; and even though he could find no leaks, — the metal fixtures just needed wiping off.
Finally, he said we needed to replace the roof because there were broken tiles. He couldn’t find any leaks. The roof has at least another 5 years’ use, but we had to knock $ 40,000 off the price of the home.
