Listen "EP 319: Roof Leaks, Foundation Cracks, and Texas Summer Heat"
Episode Synopsis
What makes Lewis Garrison with Allegiance Residential Inspections a Good Neighbor?Buying a home is likely the biggest purchase you'll ever make – but what lurks beneath that fresh coat of paint? Meet Lewis Garrison, founder of Allegiance Residential Inspections, who pulls back the curtain on what professional home inspectors really look for and why it matters to your wallet.After dedicating 22 years to military service and working in healthcare administration, Lewis found his calling in residential inspections. His company now serves Dallas, Fort Worth, and surrounding counties, offering comprehensive evaluations that go far beyond what meets the eye. As Lewis explains, the "lipstick on a pig" phenomenon is all too common in real estate – properties that look immaculate but harbor serious defects in places buyers never think to check.The conversation reveals critical insights about hidden dangers lurking in seemingly perfect homes: water stains in attics signaling roof leaks, hail damage that insurance adjusters will spot (and potentially deny coverage for), foundation issues that could require expensive structural engineering solutions, and HVAC systems that might fail during those brutal 100-degree Texas summers. Lewis shares how these discoveries can become powerful negotiating tools for buyers or essential knowledge for sellers before listing their homes.What sets Allegiance apart is their commitment to transparency. "We want you to know everything that we know about that property," Lewis emphasizes, explaining how this philosophy has fueled their growth through word-of-mouth referrals and glowing reviews. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, seasoned investor, or planning to sell, this episode delivers invaluable insights to help you navigate one of life's most significant transactions with confidence.To learn more about Allegiance Residential Inspections go to: 🌐 ariotex.com Allegiance Residential Inspections 📞 214-957-5020
