After inspection, we discover there's drywood termite damage, moisture/water leaks seen from the attic and ceiling, roof doesn't have a permit with old patches.

The house is a 1990 Habitat for Humanity build and when I poked my head up in the attic, I was surprised to see that the whole structure above the ceiling is steel construction.

I would replace the ceiling fan.

Plus the house had an industrial tile drop ceiling - weird.

-Has no crawlspace (common for older properties) so we couldn't see the foundation-Drywood termite/wood decaying fungi damage seen on all the windows/doors/parts of the beam on the exterior, parts of roof decking and rafters in the attic-Old leaks/moisture damage seen in the ceilings and attic-Parts of the roof has patch work-Roof doesn't have any permits on record (don't know how old it is)Seller's offer to me:-Fumigation treatment for drywood termites (tenting the house)-Replace and repair all damage wood throughout the house-Replace the entire roof with a new permit-Replace one window in every room (not all)-Pay for a structural engineer to inspect the foundation-Offer to get quotes for repairs and have a 15-20K budget to make all repairs, house is 500K.

I recently got a PLM Summary Report on a property detecting 2% Chrysotile in the drywall in the garage and 5% in the popcorn ceiling throughout (looking like just in the spray texture).

SFR is 2100 sqft over two floors (one is basement), both floors are fully-finished, water pressure is not an issue. there is no other rehab in the main house, so we will have to cut into the ceiling for just the retrofit.Thanks a ton!

If water is dripping through the ceiling, we will respond immediately.

If 2 and the bathroom is on the second floor, the plumber will need to access the other plumbing/water lines and this could involve accessing walls and ceilings in various areas depending on your layout.

@Steven WestlakeHas anyone tried skim coating over popcorn ceiling with success?
