What Fort Worth property owners are deciding
The Fort Worth inspector stopped the job, and the citation cites sections no one on site has read. Lenders and buyers treat red-tagged projects as liabilities until the record is clean. The answer is an engineered response that addresses each cited item on its own terms.
