Hello we just watched your Perry Homes Inspection. Excellent observation of construction defects. We are closing on a home in Richmond, Texas next month in August 2024. Anyone you know you would recommend us to hire to inspect the property for a fee before we close. It happens to be a Perry Home as well. Would appreciate your feedback. Thanks, Art

The tile work had tile edges exposed and in 2024 it’s unacceptable to use silicone caulking to cover that. Quality builders use edging or bullnose tiles at the edges. Way too picky on the brick, and the post on the deck has checking, totally normal, not unacceptable. Builders know things that agents don’t always know.

Why would a builder waste their time with doing such a shitty job like this? I thought reputation was everything being a builder?

19:28 Texture imperfections are not important to me. What i really dislike is when the lazy painters just paint over the door hinges. I had them replace all of them. As far as the wood posts go. Just use wood putty to fill in the gaps, then stain or paint them.

Wow. We are about to engage Perry Homes in the Austin area for a new build. I now see I need someone of your skill level.

Damn.... but on another thought it might be worth using QR stickers with a note app to share the problem with each problem area.

Thank you So informative!

Textured walls are a waste of time and just lame like popcorn ceilings.

never buy a newly built home in texas. never

I have a Perry Home. It was mixed, I love the home overall but that definitely shift the onus on the warranty people to finish your home. It's probably 85 to 90 percent complete at the closing time in reality with all repairs we had to bring them back for. The Warranty team is responsive but you got to stay on them to make sure stuff gets done. At closing we had beer bottle in the attic and found several in the walls. Our garage stairs looked like a kindergarten class put it together and our attic stairs were not fitting appropriately and began to split. We had a rattling behind the wall with wind that needed to be opened and repaired. It took about a good 9 months to have the repairs done behind our schedule but overall it is a beautiful home. Id say compared to DR Horton these guys are amazing. Id say be tough but willing to work with them and try to get as much repairs done before closing as possible. That will motivate them because the warranty repairs lag. Don't be afraid to call the bluff of not closing, they do not want to be taken to court and if they think you have money to sue they will follow through. 😅

I never comment on video's, but this one got to me. You said it yourself, "I'm not an inspector", so quit acting like one. Texture will not match throughout the entirety of a home. It will vary throughout depending the air pressure, the installer, the humidity, and so on. No builder will redo the amount of texture issues you describe. The treated pine posts on the railing are not broken. The "cracks" you see, are the wood grain separating from when the post dries out after the chemical treatment it goes through to prevent rot. It is natural and you will find that on almost every post on every rail or fence. Some items you show are legit, but most are ridiculous. You will be giving your clients unrealistic expectations. Leave the inspection to the professional. A reputable builder will address and fix actual problems. You don't get everything want just because you complain and pretend to know what your talking about.

caulk and grout settlement indicates that this house has been siting for some time. How long was it from the time this work was originally done to when you walked through? Also, the average home buyer will not / cannot get a home builder to reconcile these issues while holding up a closing. The builder would let the contract cancel, fix a few of the obvious issues, and re-list it

Whos the inspector???

I wish you were in north Texas!

That’s ridiculous idiot people who doesn’t know how to use a screwdriver look at small things on the texture or little insignificant things every single penny Painful to watch

The buyer didn't have a home inspection?

They’re disgusting

The best homes to buy are those built prior to 2001.

Wow since you are an expert on all aspects of home building you should make another video repairing all of it yourself to show the builder and the actual professionals how it's done

This is an awesome video! thanks for making this video and keep more vids coming!

your so worried about texture, you missed some REAL issues. door that was too high, look were the trim and jam hits the floor, then the tile grout around the tub, it has completely separated in the gout line, and the edge under the tile. the bad drywall corners I agree with, but 99% of the "texture problems" I think you are being way over the top.

The builder will just sell it to someone else. The buyer has very little protection and sometimes don't have much of a choice other than to close and cross their fingers.

You can't be serious... Talk about anal ? This person could never be satisfied with any kind of normal workmanship , And I'm pretty picky..

That builder company isn’t fixing ninety percent of that texture, it would look worse if they did.

Just buy a used home😂

20 minutes of texture. This video sucks

Awesome!!

psssst.....your haircut is crooked in the back.

'REASONABLE" expectations. This is NOT EVEN CLOSE TO REASONABLE

Another house is built with hands but not Jesus's hands. That's right, perfection is unattainable. A car is in a controlled environment when bulit, not outside in all kinds of weather. Sadly, this kind of overview is over the top. Im pointing at your redicilousness
