A point-of-sale inspection is an inspection many cities require before a home can be sold. If the inspector cites exterior items — such as cracked walkways, steps, driveways, or deteriorated masonry — those violations typically must be repaired before the sale can move forward. Concrete Masonry LLC repairs the exterior masonry and concrete items on those lists across Cuyahoga, Lorain, and Medina Counties.
What a point-of-sale inspection is
In many Cuyahoga County suburbs and other Northeast Ohio communities, the city inspects a home before it changes hands. The inspector notes items that do not meet the city's housing standards, and the seller receives a list of violations to address.
The exact rules vary by city, so always check with your local building department about what your sale requires.
Common exterior violations
Exterior concrete and masonry items are among the most common things cited: cracked or settled walkways, crumbling steps, damaged driveway sections, and deteriorated brick or mortar joints.
These are exactly the kinds of repairs Concrete Masonry LLC handles — concrete, brick, stone, and tuckpointing work.
What to do when you get a violation list
Start by reading the list carefully and noting which items are exterior concrete or masonry. Then request an estimate and share the inspection report so the scope of the repairs matches what the city cited.
Once the repairs are complete, your city typically re-inspects. Your city can confirm its own re-inspection process and any deadlines that apply to your sale.
Getting the repairs scheduled
Home sales come with timelines, so it helps to start the estimate process as soon as you have the violation list. Call (216) 333-5885 or submit the estimate form with your inspection report attached or described, and the repairs will be reviewed with you.
