🚨 You’d Never Notice This on a New Build… Until It’s Too Late | Phase Inspection in Fulshear, TX

Описание: New construction in Fulshear, Texas — and this is one of those defects you don’t notice until you stand in the exact right spot and look down the wall.

On the right side of this home, the exterior wall finish (Hardie / fiber cement lap siding) was visibly bowed outward, creating an estimated 2–3 inch bulge. Conditions like this commonly happen during rough-in when other building components behind the wall push the exterior plane out and the siding gets fastened over it.

Here’s why it matters: fiber cement siding is intended to be installed flat and in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions and general workmanship standards. When panels are forced into position or fastened over an uneven plane, it can create unnecessary stress on the material and fasteners, reduce overall fit/finish quality, and leave a permanent “wavy/bulged” appearance that stands out in certain lighting and viewing angles. Building codes (including the IRC) generally require materials to be installed per manufacturer instructions where applicable, which is why these details matter in new construction.

A builder may call this “cosmetic” — and to a degree it can be — but it can still become a real issue later: it affects curb appeal, raises questions for future buyers, and can create friction in a resale transaction that never needed to exist.

This is exactly why new construction phase inspections matter — catch it early, document it, and request correction while repairs are simplest.
