Bedrooms
In accordance with CREIA and industry standards of practice, our inspection of bedrooms includes the
visually accessible areas of walls, floors, cabinets and closets, and includes the testing of a representative
number of windows and doors, switches and outlets. We evaluate windows to ensure that they meet light
and ventilation requirements and facilitate an emergency exit or egress, but we do not evaluate window
treatments, nor move furniture, lift carpets or rugs, empty closets or cabinets, and we do not comment on
cosmetic deficiencies.

inspection does not tacitly approve, endorse, or guarantee the integrity of any work that was done without a
permit, and latent defects that may exist.

We noted one or more stress cracks at the window and or door areas in the bedroom. These appear to be
from seasonal and or age related movement in the structure. These do not appear to be an area of concern
and not further evaluation is recommended at this time. However, we are generalists and you may wish to
have a specialist comment further on this. Please be aware that such cracks can reappear, especially if
they are not repaired properly.
