In terms of the report, it was provided later that evening, as promised. It was straight-forward to read, succinctly written, and included photos of the problem areas. I would highly recommend Greg and consider his services top notch.
Because the report noted that there was no inspection of the water heater and made no mention of hot water temperature, I e-mailed and asked the temperature. I also asked about a missing closet door we'd observed when we were looking at the house pre-offer. He also added a picture of the space where a door is missing and noted the missing door.

I expected to be out of pocket for flashing repairs and received funds from the seller at settlement based on the BPG inspection report. Upon further inspection from roofing companies, it was apparent that the extent of roof damage was much more extensive and I had no choice but to replace the entire roof. Every single sheet of garage roof plywood had to be replaced. No other portion of the roof had proportionately as much damage. Had I known how significant this issue was, I would have negotiated a fair allowance from the seller.

This is my second home inspection in a month. The first was by First Step Home Inspections on the house I am selling. I was very happy with their services, but they were not available for a prompt inspection in the time frame set forth in the purchase contract for the house I am buying.

Greg was personable and helpful to explain what he saw and give recommendations related not just to things he inspected but also to things we should consider with the house moving forward. He provided an online report the evening of the inspection which I printed to PDF with CutePDF. The report did not note the hot water temperature or a missing closet door we noticed, but noted a great many other things from bad light bulbs to necessary caulking, to minor roof damage.

Questions sellers should ask themselves (and their agent) after the home inspection
I try to write the reports so that realtors and repair contractors who may not have been at the inspection can understand what needs to be done, and why I consider it to be important. One of my long time goals has been to help improve the quality and professionalism of this industry. I have trained several other Home Inspectors and am currently an approved field trainer by the NC Home Inspector Licensure Board. Licensed Home Inspector Association, the state's largest association of Home Inspectors, and have served two terms totaling 8 years on the N.C. During this time I chaired the Standards and Rules committee for three years, the Complaint Investigations and Education committees and served two terms as Board chairman. This has given me the opportunity to see the big picture of this industry and offer ideas on how we Inspectors can improve our services to the general public.
However, it can be difficult for sellers to challenge the inspection as a third party, since the relationship in question is between the buyer and the inspector. Typically, the buyer pays for their own inspection, and can use a licensed home inspector of their choosing. However, sellers who may be concerned about what might be found in an inspection sometimes opt to pay for their own pre-inspection. Based on the results, you can price your home accordingly, and you won’t be surprised by the results of your buyer’s inspection. Do note that any problems revealed in your pre-inspection have to be disclosed to your buyer.
BPG did not have a contractor to do the work on the inoperative garage door. After a week, I was told that I can find a contractor to do the work, but before the work gets done, the contractor has to send in an estimate and get approval. I work out of town during the week and do not have the time to do their job, and I STILL GET TO PAY MY $65 DEDUCTABLE! When I email them, all I get is the same response, "thank you for contacting us, please let us know how we can help". Buyer’s Protection Group was set up in 1987 to sell home warranty products only.
I started my Home Inspection business here in the Triangle area in 1994. My goal is to serve my clients by providing a thorough and detailed inspection that can give you a realistic picture of the home you are buying or selling. The inspection also includes free phone or e-mail consultation as long as you are living in the home.
The report can be picked up directly from the 1st Choice web site, and can be paid for online, or you can pay by check. Gregory was prompt in making the report available within a few hours of the inspection, and he made a minor edit to the report quickly when requested. Overall I recommend 1st Choice for home inspections in the Triangle area, and I think other customers will find Gregory to be a thorough, professional and personable inspector. Greg Allen did a fantastic job and we would recommend him to anyone. Greg responded promptly and thoroughly to my request for a quote.
In the new home buying process, this was a breeze. For starters, he answered the phone immediately on the first call, no back and forth on messages. Following the call, he sent a .pdf outlining everything and we scheduled the inspection. This was on a new construction, so luckily not a lot had to be corrected. However, Mr. Allen was walked us through everything he found.
