Not us, our inspections came back aces. Our roof and foundation is in excellent condition. In fact the house in general is in stellar shape, which is allowing us to put our renovation dough into the bath, kitchen, yard, floors and paint. Thanks!

Also, not sure if there's a place to post it, but I'd like to hear from any affordable, professional contractors in West Los Angeles, so if you know of a good place with listings, or if there are any in here, let me know.
