# Challenges Encountered Since Purchasing Our Home
Since we bought our home, we have faced numerous challenges:
**Flooring Replacement**: We had to replace all the flooring due to an excessive amount of dog hair embedded not only in the carpets but also in the walls. The entryway contained a section glued down to conceal water damage, and mold was prevalent. Upon removing the trim, we discovered dog hair and mold everywhere, along with significant stains that the previous homeowners had hidden during the initial walkthrough.
**Improper Window Sealing**: Several windows were poorly sealed, leading to substantial heat and cooling loss, as well as noticeable wind noise.
**Ventilation Cleaning**: We promptly hired a professional to clean our ventilation system, only to find that the previous homeowners had never done this.
**Mold Inspection**: We had to immediately hire a mold inspector to evaluate the air quality, unfortunately, it was not in acceptable condition, prompting us to purchase air purifiers for every room.
**Kitchen Mold**: Mold was discovered in the kitchen cabinets, necessitating a thorough bleaching of all items before we could move in.
**Wall Issues**: The realtor assured us that the peeling sections of the half wall were merely tape, but we later realized it was actually the wall deteriorating. Other rooms also showed similar issues.
**Door Replacement**: Nearly every door had holes, which were not disclosed in the listing and only came to light during our final inspection.
**Appliance Replacements**: We had to replace the overhead microwave and have already replaced parts in the refrigerator.
**Roof Replacement**: We are currently in the process of replacing the roof due to a leak that originated from an overhead lighting fixture, involving electrical work.
It’s worth noting that we paid for an inspection, and none of these issues were mentioned. The inspector highly recommended the realtor, leading us to suspect he may have received a kickback for the referral.
I’ve been contemplating leaving a review regarding the terrible experience we had with this inspector, but I decided to wait a few more months to see if anything else goes wrong. The property cost $318,900 and was built in 2007. It’s disheartening that the previous homeowners attempted to pass off this house to the next buyer, and equally troubling that the realtor and the inspector aided them in doing so. I previously called to complain but they sent me a form and that was it. They didn’t take our complaints by what the inspection missed. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY!!
