Disclosure Analysis

5 documents: SPQ, TDS, NHD, Pest Report, Roof Inspection

Classic Fairbrae Eichler in the highly desirable 94087 zip code. The radiant heat system and flat roof are the two Eichler-specific concerns to evaluate carefully. Original condition creates both renovation opportunity and risk.

Red Flags (4)

HIGH

Radiant Heat System - No Recent Test

Original 1960 radiant floor heating system. Last pressure test was 2019 (passed). System is 65 years old. If failure occurs: $45,000-65,000 for hydronic conversion, $25,000-35,000 for mini-split alternative.

HIGH

Flat Roof Maintenance Due

Tar and gravel roof last recoated in 2021. Typical 5-7 year coating cycle. Budget $18,000-28,000 for recoating within 1-2 years. Full replacement if substrate damaged: $65,000-85,000.

LOW

Asbestos Tile Suspected

Original 9x9 floor tiles in utility room may contain asbestos (common in 1960s homes). Test before any renovation. Encapsulation or professional removal if confirmed.

Recommendations

  • CRITICAL: Request current radiant heat pressure test before removing contingencies
  • Get roof substrate assessment - not just surface condition
  • Budget $80,000-120,000 for potential Eichler-specific updates
  • Use Eichler-specialized inspector (Boyenga Team has referral list)
  • Review PG&E bills to understand heating costs with radiant system
  • Test floor tiles for asbestos before any floor work
