🚨 **Code Violations vs Standard Defects — Why the Difference Matters** 🚨

Not every issue found during a home inspection is created equal. Some are **standard defects**—maintenance items or normal wear and tear—while others are **code violations**, which may signal safety risks, failed compliance, or expensive repairs down the road.

The challenge for many buyers and homeowners is knowing which is which. A small “cosmetic” issue might be harmless… but a hidden code violation could affect insurance approval, resale value, or even your ability to close on a home.

That’s where a professional inspection makes all the difference.

At **Colvin Inspections**, we don’t just point out problems—we help you understand what truly matters, what’s urgent, and what can wait. Our goal is to give you clear, honest insight so you can make confident decisions without surprises.

📌 Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining your home, knowledge is your best protection.
