You might have somewhat of a case against your Home Inspector - they have E&O coverage (Errors and Omissions), but basically this is a buyer beware game.

Welcome @Pratik Patel, feel free to reach out if you need anything!

Hi Kwanza,Bay Tek (650-204-1512) would be a great starting point, but I’d also recommend reaching out to Adler Builders (650-398-9030) and Mission Home Remodeling (415-855-7269) for comparable bids.In San Francisco, you’ll need a licensed General Contractor (GC) to pull the necessary permits.
