Cohoes Home Inspectors meet with all sorts of interesting things on a home inspection. I learned this recently on a home inspection in Cohoes. I have been doing home inspections in Cohoes for many years and I have learned many things about the area. For instance, there are many areas of Cohoes that have a higher water table, and there are some areas that just have a water problem. I have seen some of the 100 year old buildings have almost no problems at all, and then a ranch built in the 90’s with 5 major issues.
One of the things that I saw recently on a home inspection was a roofing issue. there were a few home builders in the area who built many homes in the 1990’s, and many of them used Owens Corning shingles (1994 was one of the worst years). They were 20-30 year shingles, but just fell apart most of the time and are known to have issues (click here for roofing information).
Most people have replaced these shingles because of obvious failure. But as I stood on a roof in Cohoes on a home inspection I saw those defective shingles. Then I looked at the neighbors around my home inspection and saw almost half the neighbors with the same shingles.
Buying a home in Cohoes NY? Be careful of this issue. Cohoes home inspectors, be careful to protect your clients when it comes to this issue as well.
