Builder didn't build my home right, need help?
I got my own home inspection before the 11 months walk through. The inspector said there are 2 problem with my home that are not build within city code. 1. The exterior siding on the W. side was installed too close to the roofing material. There should be 1 1 2" to 2" of clearance between the roof and siding material to prevent water damage.2. Over driven nails. There are so many of it on the exterior of my house. The painter was being lazy and never seal the hold. Builder come to my house today and said it's within code. If it's not within code the city wouldn't pass the inspection. But my inspector said it's not within code and builder should fix it. Can someone tell me if my builder should correct the mistake or i'm out of luck. All feedback is greaty apperciated. Thank you.
