  • Roofing: Problems with roof installation and/or materials can include unsealed penetrations, missing shingles, shoddy underlayment, and more. The roof can be a major source of exterior construction defects.
  • Windows: Leaks through windows or walls near windows are a sign of bad window installation and a common type of construction defect.
  • Doors: Defects with door installations can include improper or missing flashing.
  • Sliding glass doors: Improper installation of sliding glass doors can result in leaks and possible water damage.
  • Exterior enclosure: These issues can affect stucco (cracking, window/door separation), masonry veneer (loose or cracking veneers), and the siding and trim (poor weather barrier, poor lapping or flashing).
  • Balconies and decks: Issues with these exterior features may include flaws in either design or installation. Examples are general poor workmanship, improper materials or fasteners, failure to add flashing, or using the wrong concrete mix, among other problems.
