You tell us.
I haven't inspected your home either.
But, I would hope an inspector would look at your roof, gutters, and beneath the cosmetic and decor items you mention.
A new roof and gutters are not decor items.
You aren't making any sense. You want sellers to be proactive in preparing their house for sale, and then you dismiss new bathrooms as decor items. Rebuilt showers are not "decor."
"Equipment is not cooling. Repair by licensed HVAC technician is recommended."
This is completely stupid as you can walk through the house and feel that the air is cool. It's Texas. We live here. I wouldn't have a non working A/C unit while trying to sell the house, nor would I want to live here without one that is not operational. I mean, heck, the buyer was here during the last part of the inspection. Wouldn't the buyer notice if the A/C was working or not?
At the recommendation of my realtor, I had the units inspected and they all checked out fine.
I was asking about specific language from the report because the more that is shown the better understanding of the Inspector that can be gained. It would be very entertaining to get and read a full copy of that report!
From the little displayed it appears that this Inspector is living off of "canned statements". This phrase is so general it can be used for many different conditions. Also I suspect the Inspector may have possibly not taken the time to properly assess the system operation and instead just used the canned statement since they planned to call for HVAC Contractor review no matter what was found. Unfortunately that is what we are seeing a lot of with the "In/Out" and "On Site Reporting" methods. Time is money and the longer they are on site the less chance they have of scheduling and making it to their multiple inspections in one day. I suspect this Inspector is one of the cheap ones that buyers go after since price is more important than quality. Properly inspecting a house does take time to avoid these type incidents.

Uhhh.,..
Re-read. I specifically separated decor from roof and gutters.
And, I would certainly hope an inspector would inspect as best possible beneath bath fixtures. No?
Ask any of the inspectors who chime in here how often they see fundamental flaws in renovations, roofs and gutters included. It is routine.

You are moving goalposts here.
You earlier chastised sellers for not adequately preparing their homes for sale, for being greedy and devious, and for not wanting to offer a quality product.
Mistakes made by reputable contractors during roof replacements or other renovations are mistakes made by the contractors; they do not speak to a homeowner trying to deceive a buyer, or to a seller not doing their utmost to present a quality home for sale.
And again, a rebuilt shower is not "decor."
Furthermore, you have lumped my husband and I in with this group of devious, greedy, nefarious sellers, and have insinuated that we are trying to hide problems, when you know nothing about us or our home.

Of course. I just went with a home inspector to a new construction home. Plenty of gigs. Reasonable gigs. All "new" work.

Your words. Your description. Not mine. Perhaps "naive," which is a higher level of sturm und drang than "nefarious."
Nope. Not cynical or jaded.
As a realist, I function well in the real estate marketplace because my eyes are open and I have skills and knowledge built on years of experience in housing and in real estate brokerage.
You are basing all your posts on one transaction that you agreed was flakey from before contract.
ONE.
And I’d say doing that before the offer would make more sense.
Will you reimburse me for doing a routine item that you weren't willing to do?
Should I wash your car, rotate the tires, and drain your water heater, too?
