We couldn't have been more pleased with the service provided by Greg Wayman (Foundation 2 Rooftop). Having moved around the country and purchased several homes we knew that an inspection is a MUST DO regardless of the age of the home. So after much research we hired Foundation 2 Rooftop. Now, there are inspectors and then there are INSPECTORS. what we mean by that and many do not know is that some (not all) inspection companies are highly recommended by real estate agents & brokers. However, as the home purchaser it is YOUR CHOICE to hire who you want and I highly recommend that you do your homework to find the best inspector. Just don't go with the one that is recommended by the agents or broker. We did our homework and found Greg Wayman, Foundation 2 Rooftop. Greg W. worked for US not the builder, real estate agent or broker (after all we are the ones paying for the inspection). Our closing date kept getting pushed back and Greg was always willing to work with the new dates we gave him. Greg showed up early to our appointment (remember, you as the homeowner should attend & have the right to attend) he did a top (roof, attic) to bottom inspection (foundation). Greg found areas of our newly constructed/built home that needed to be attended to and if it wasn't for him we'd never have known these areas, such as insulation in attic not covering entire attic, nor depth or fill we paid for, cracked rafter in attic, electrical switches not installed correctly, furnace exhaust fan & dishwasher not working, concrete sloping into home, etc... I could list the entire report but I think you get the point. We were very grateful that Greg inspected our home and did a very detailed inspection (included a write up & video). He was very good at answering my multitude of questions and made suggestions as well. He even answered questions we had after the inspection. To sum it all up. I believe that not all inspectors/inspections are the same and the only one I would TRUST is Greg Wayman "Foundation 2 Rooftop'. Your home is the most likely one of the largest investments you'll make and its your right to have who you want and don't let anyone tell you that Foundation 2 Rooftop can't come on the property to inspect the home (regardless of what the agents or brokers say.) If they say he can't come onto the property and you've hired him, WALK AWAY from the house deal!!!! Seriously. Ask yourself; why would they not want a professional inspector such as Foundation 2 Rooftop to inspect...makes you think, doesn't it! Please don't be swayed by what others say... find out for yourself. Question: Is the Agent or broker going to be the house you bought when something that should have been caught at the inspection goes wrong, don't be fooled by the home warranty either - it doesn't cover everything? Will they pay for it because the inspector missed it? The correct answer is NO. I would only recommend Foundation 2 Rooftop! read more

My husband and I are first time home buyers and we had a great experience with Greg! The first home we offered was inspected by Greg. The owner of this home has written a poor review about a crack in the furnace costing her the sale. This is not the case at all. When my husband and I looked at the house it was in severe need of a cosmetic facelift but as first time buyers we were excited to start our journey in a fixer upper making it our own. Our inspection with Greg saved us from a HUGE costly mistake. The home had numerous big ticket issues, over 75% of the attic was mold, the electrical was all outdated and dangerous, the deck was not built properly and sloping, and the list continues. As you can tell by this list it was not a crack in the furnace that drove away from the home. I cannot express how thankful we are that Greg took his time walked us through everything he found and explained what the repair process would be. There was not a doubt in our minds that we needed to walk away from that house. Greg did another inspection for us in the home we ended up purchasing and again was extremely thorough. He took his time to explain everything to us which is greatly appreciated for us first time home buyers. He truly cares about what you are buying and isn't out to make a quick buck and let you purchase a lemon. Definitely would recommend this company to anyone looking for a true unbiased inspection. read more

I can't over-state how emphatically I recommend F2R and Greg's services for your home inspection. This was my third home purchase in as many states, this home inspection was far and away the best I have seen; it surpassed others by a mile. Greg is a truly independent operator in a field that I've come to understand (through multiple sources) is filled with shady actors that don't look out for the consumer. For example, while inspection companies can't be owned by realtors they can pay a "co-advertising fee" to the realtor in a very shady roundabout way of bribing for referrals. I can assure you you'll be happy with your F2R inspection. He's thorough to the point where some realtors don't like working with him: I saw evidence of this phenomenon, take note of this as it's a good thing. He's not afraid to tell the buyer the whole truth and point out all flaws, which sometimes makes a deal fall through and a realtor lose hefty commission. At the end of the day you'll be armed with all the information you possibly need, armed to negotiate repairs, and the purchase decision will be yours. Again, don't ever let your realtor recommend a title company or a home inspector: assume they are looking out for #1, protecting the sale and not necessarily your best interests. Greg has zero concern for the realtor, and every concern for the purchaser. Again, he's worth every penny, don't think twice. read more

Greg from F-2-R did a very thorough job inspecting our prospective home in August prior to close. We had him complete the full home inspection as well as the radon test. The results saved us thousands in potential out-of-pocket expenses thanks to contingencies we added to the purchase agreement, and provided us a clear understanding of non-priority issues that we'd need to take care of on our own. Getting the video results on a USB stick is a nice touch as well. Greg is quite personable, and I found him to err on the side of caution when making recommendations and giving advice. He welcomes you to join him during the inspection if you'd like, in order to get an in-depth look at the property prior to buying. If you opt to do so, just be sure the buyer and seller's agents are both well aware that you'll be present during the whole inspection, not just the walk-through. Your agent may try to steer you to one of their preferred inspectors- be sure to do your research and do your best choose an inspector that will work for your interests, not your agent's! read more

Any joker with a clipboard and a tool belt can claim to perform a home inspection. I had that experience in the past, and that is NOT at all what you get from Greg and F-2-R. Greg provided a thorough, professional, unbiased, well documented inspection of my father's home. If I had been aware of Greg when my wife and I purchased a home ten years ago, we would not be stuck in a home that has cost as much to repair over time, as it did to make the initial purchase. We are currently in the market for a new home, and I can assure you that I will be using F-2-R for our next home inspection prior to signing a single piece of paper. I would much rather have an inspector be honest and up front with me about a situation like F-2-R is, rather than have one who is just concerned about collecting a paycheck and moving on to their next job. If you want an honest, professional, independent, thorough inspection performed on your next home, these are your guys! read more

My son was looking to purchase a home this year. Since he was a first time home buyer who was considering a NIFA loan he was required to take the NIFA Homebuyers Education Course. Both my son and I attended the course. One of the guest speakers was Greg Wayman, an ASHI certified home inspector from Foundation 2 Rooftop, Inc. We found him to be honest, personable and very educational. Later, when we put an offer down on an older house, we insisted that Greg Wayman conduct our home inspection. He was very through and professional and even our realtors were impressed with the quality of his work. Greg's inspection enabled us to put together a to-do list for later repairs and gave us the confidence to close on this house. His home inspection came with a detailed written and video report. I would recommend Foundation 2 Rooftop, Inc. to anyone who wants a quality inspection of a property they are considering buying or selling. Mike Bahr read more

I would recommend Foundation-2-Rooftop to any of my friends or family. My wife and I had Greg inspect a home for us that we ended up purchasing. He was extremely thorough, and actually encouraged us to join him during the inspection. We felt that the video recording of the inspection was very valuable, and is helping us go through and fix a few of the minor issues that many inspectors would have glossed over. We also found value in Greg being certified to inspect heat exchangers. Having him inspect the older furnace gave us comfort, knowing that our 2 month old daughter would not be exposed to carbon monoxide. I can say in confidence that you will be hard pressed to find another home inspector that will do such high-quality work. The small investment in his services could literally keep you from making a multi-thousand dollar mistake. read more

I would definitely recommend Foundation-2-Rooftop. Greg was extremely pleasant to work with. We actually had two homes reviewed by him and in my opinion he saved me from a very bad investment on the first one. I felt bad to walk away from the purchase at first but looking back I have no doubt I made the right decision thanks to his expert review of the property and video proof to back it up. I consider myself to be fairly handy but the things he was able to find really saved us from a costly mistake. His inspection on the second house helped to negotiate some needed repairs I would have missed also saving us quite a bit of money. If you ever watch the show "Holmes on Homes" or "Holmes Inspection" you can see many similarities and you would understand why I say you won't make a better choice in the Omaha area. read more

Whether selling or buying, the one thing you don't want is a poor home inspector. Greg and the F2R team are independent of real estate companies, very professional and extremely thorough. Greg gave us videos of our inspections along with every detail listed in his reports. He tells you whether something is critical or minor, if it needs immediate attention or can wait, plus you have the video to back it up. We rejected one house due to three major issues (one being a defective roof). The owner and realtor blew up, insisting "minor" -- but we had the repair estimates in hand (and not minor). Later I met the young buyer who was distressed over all the problems he was dealing with (envision a whole roof blowing off just two weeks after moving in). Don't hesitate--Greg and his team are so worth it. read more

I've traveled a lot as a military guy and used a lot of different inspectors as a result of that. Greg's inspection has been one of the best. You don't want a cheap inspector as some of the negative reviews below have mentioned. That being said, Greg's prices are reasonable and will save me a lot of money in the future. I have a great list of things to look into as a result of his inspection. It goes into great detail about what should be fixed or replaced soon and what you should be saving towards replacing or repairing in the future. It's a great bit of information to hold on to as you live in the home. I'll be sure to recommend his inspections to friends in the future. Edit: I forgot to add that Greg also offers a discount for military members and veterans. read more

We are the firsttime home buyers, Creg did the home inspection for us this June. He was on time, a little early actually. His inspections was incredibly thorough,which lasted about 3 hours. He checked everything carefully inside and outside of house and really found something we never noticed, though it is a new house. He answered all our questions patiently and explained every problem he found in very accessible words. I learned all kinds of things about the place. The price of the inspection was reasonable, we got the PDF report and video right after the inspection, which helped us a lot in the next day's final walk-through with our builder.I am very satisfied with the service, highly recommend. read more

I highly recommend Foundation 2 Rooftop for all your inspection needs. Greg was very thorough and did an excellent job. After loosing our home due to the flood, we needed to purchase a home quickly. Greg was able to come inspect the home in no time. On top of that, he even waived the inspection fee and issued his report in record speed. His expertise, kind professionalism and friendliness made us feel that he really cares. He gave us hope in such hard times. If we ever need another inspection, Greg will be the only one we go to. I cannot say enough good things about his work and his customer service. He exceeds all expectations. Mike and Linda C. - Pacific Junction, IA read more

If you're in the process of purchasing a home I highly recommend Foundation 2 Rooftop. Chad was punctual, polite and a complete professional during our home inspection. He took the time to not only show us the issues with the house but also clearly explained each issue to a layman such as myself so that I had no problem understanding what needed to be taken care of. One of the first pieces of advice I got as a first time home buyer was to get my home inspection done by a 3rd party and not who my realtor recommended. I'm glad we hired Foundation 2 Rooftop to do our home inspection because Chad pulled no punches in outlying the problems with the house, however minor they were. read more

Greg did our first home inspection years ago and then a follow-up review later when we needed his help related to finishing our basement. He is the real deal. Over a decade later, we are closing on our next home, and there is no other person we want. If you want someone who cares about their work, is like your personal home investigator/detective, and has many years of experience, you need to go with him. He also provides a video of his inspection review with findings and recommendations, which was very helpful for us to reference throughout the years, including comparing how the house is now vs. when we first got it. Greg- we're going to reach out to you again here soon! read more

As first time home buyers, my husband and I were very nervous about the process. Chad from Foundation-2-Rooftop did an incredible job with the home inspection and made us feel more confident about purchasing a for sale by owner home. From the first phone call he was polite, honest, and timely. He patiently answered all our questions during the walk-through and afterwards via phone and e-mail. His depth of knowledge was impressive. He delivered our full report promptly after the inspection. His communication was efficient and thorough. I highly recommend him and would definitely hire him again! read more

Greg is one of the best home inspectors in the nation. I lived in Omaha for two years and found him through google search and liked his reviews. His knowledge of current codes, construction techniques, and home inspection were an incredible asset to my family. I now live in Denver and would consider flying him out here to be my inspector for the next home I buy, no questions asked. The video summary of his findings are excellent so that you and the seller can see firsthand any problem areas that may show up in an inspection. I would not trust anyone else, period. read more

The inspector was very polite and knowledgeable. He even asked me to come to the house towards the end of his inspection to give me a step-by-step walkthrough of what he found. He was also very good at answering any of my questions and had no problem with me calling him later with more questions. Thanks to this company I was able to learn things I would have never known about the house and it helped with my negotiations during closing. Anyone in the Lincoln and Omaha area who are buying a house should definitely use this inspection company. read more

F2R "saved our bacon" when we closed on our newly built house. Greg found several things over what the city inspector noted, and our realtor helped us negotiate with the builder in getting them fixed before closing. These fixes would have costed us thousands of dollars had we not found them initially. Also, we had previously asked Greg to inspect before the drywall was placed, so we have pictures/video of all the wiring/plumbing inside our walls. I highly recommend them for any job, but especially for new home builders. read more

Greg was great. Very thorough and explained everything to me. He also was great about explaining what was important and what was not. The MOST IMPORTANT thing is that he found a gas leak in the basement that was previously undetected! This had the potential to be a serious problem and the seller was able to address it immediately with a contractor...putting in a new gas line...Thank you Greg! read more
