You can tell when you do an inspection.... you take one or two pictures of something in question and then ask what others would write about it...............your the CMI... what did you put?

Something like that would be put into my report as a minor defect. It would not make it into the summary. Same thing with cracked vinyl siding, cracked window etc...

In Kansas, it only has to last 12 months after the inspection is performed. When in doubt, always write it up.

Gary, that sounds like a warranty. How can an inspector tell someone how long something will last?
