Newer subdivisions off Highway 1 and Woodward Road
Recent Elgin construction carries the standard production-builder findings: attic ducts disconnected or resting on insulation, missing kick-out flashing, grading pitched toward the slab or crawlspace, garage firewall penetrations left unsealed, and cosmetic finish work rushed before closing. On homes in their first year we strongly recommend an 11-month warranty inspection — settlement cracks, HVAC balance problems, and workmanship defects tend to surface right around then, while the builder is still on the hook.
