Most common defects in 1990s homes.
EIFS / Synthetic Stucco Moisture
Concealed EIFS moisture rots sheathing and framing silently and is one of the most expensive defects on upscale Minnetonka homes.
Cedar Shake Roof End-of-Life
An end-of-life shake roof is a major replacement and a Class 4 / insurance conversation that directly affects negotiation.
Polybutylene Plumbing
Polybutylene failures cause sudden flooding and are an insurance and negotiation concern in Cherrywood and Sunset Pond builds.
Water Intrusion Around Windows
Window-perimeter intrusion is a primary EIFS failure point and rots framing long before it shows indoors.
