Our inspector, Joe Donnelly, was recommended by our realtor. He was very nice and did catch a lot of smaller things on our home inspection. However, he majorly screwed up on the electrical part of the inspection: he noted that there were a few double tapped breakers that we should get fixed, but somehow did not notice that none of the breakers were GFCI or arc-fault protected. He also missed the lack of sticker on the box, which meant the electrical work in the house had never been inspected (or at least never passed). When we called an electrician in to fix the double tapped breaker issue, he immediately pointed out the non- arc fault, non-GFCI, no inspection situation and was shocked the home inspector didn't notice either issue. We now have gotten estimates of several thousand dollars to fix the electrical issues, expenses we were not planning on. If Joe had found these issues, we likely would not have gone through with buying this house.
Response from BPG Home Inspections
"Sorry you were not satisfied with your inspection. However, GFCI breakers are not required, and have never been required. Most homes have GFCI outlet protection (not breakers). AFCI breakers were not required when your home was built. Adding them is considered an upgrade. Regardless, the issues our inspector identified should have been investigated before closing. Below is the language in the report that deals with further investigation of action items. Any item marked identified as an ACTION ITEM should be evaluated and repaired or replaced as necessary by a specialist or trade professional BEFORE CLOSING. Additional defects may be discovered by a specialist or trade professional. Selling "Upgrades" to the electrical system are good salesmanship on the part of your electrician and do not reflect on our home inspection."

I recently bought and sold a home in a 2 year period. Our BPG inspector did not notice pipes that led to an underground oil tank. When we sold the home, the new buyers inspector found it. We had to spend the money to deal with the situations, just as the previous seller would have had our nispector found the problem. It was an honest, but clear mistake that our inspector acknowledged. BPG refused to pay for the mistake. Our inspector was a stand up guy whom I would normally recommend. It is sad this this giant company he works for wouldn't do the right thing and cover the damages in this situation

Lawrence was truly excellent in all respects and did a thorough walkthrough from top to bottom. After he was done he walked me through the house to show and explain all of his findings in detail. The full report was available the next morning as promised. He also offered lots of good advice on how to maintain the home properly over time. As a first time home buyer, that was most welcome and greatly appreciated!

Very well. The inspection was actually done prior to my appearance, but inspector made himself available at my convenience to walk me through what he found, and then the written report was made available online the next day.

Lawerence was excellent he made sure the home was where it should be and he let us know his knowledge. He was very helpful with any questions we had and his opinions really help us get an idea of what to do.

Wonderful! This is our second home buying experience and by far the best as far as inspection. Larry Transue was very knowledgable and took his time to show me what he was documenting. He didn't make me feel bad for following him around and asking questions he was eager to help me learn about my new home. He showed me things he didn't have to like how to clean the HVAC filter (since I have never had central air). He was quick and efficient and his report was very nicely typed up and easy to follow. I had called 3 different companies and this company was atlas 150 dollars less. So glad i chose Larry for the job! I would recommend him and his company to anyone!

Very well; from the initial phone call to the actual day of inspection. Mike Werst was my inspector. He was early, personable, very professional and answered all my questions. I felt confident after meeting with him-even with this being my first home purchase! I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.

We had Michael Parfomak perform our inspection, and he was very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. As a first time buyer, he took the time to explain everything to me in great detail as needed. This home, due to its age, has many unique characteristics and challenges but Michael was informed on all of them. His thoroughness was greatly appreciated and I would definitely recommend his services to anyone.

Home Inspection went overall pretty well. They were thorough. I recommend walking with them in case they miss something, or perhaps didn't see something you may have noticed. I pointed out a few items that might have been missed just by asking additional questions. You can always ask questions, i.e. What is that? Is that supposed to be lie this?

Larry performed a thorough, professional Home Inspection. I would have rated all attributes A+ if that were an option on Angie's List! I spoke with Arlene who was super in getting the inspection scheduled promptly.? Larry arrived on time and jumped right in.? He explained things to me and answered all of my questions. I had received a recommendation from a friend of mine and I am very happy with the service I received.? As such, I will definitely be recommending my friends and family to Larry as well and will do so without any reservation.? The Inspection Report was so professional and helpful.? It included many pictures and I was able to share it with the Seller so? that they could deal with the items that needed to be corrected. Larry told me that I would receive the report the next morning and I did. ? Receiving outstanding customer service is tough to come by but Larry delivers!!

I called them on a Friday, and they were able to come out to the house on Sunday. They were great at communicating issues they found and what they thought was the highest priority to get repaired. They did a great job, and I would recommend them to anyone.

Mr. Werts was on top of everything, he was very knowledgeable of everything. He showed and explained everything what ever he could possibly shared to us. When we have questions or concerned, he always have the answers to us. We are so glad that we bought the membership at Angie's List and we found the company that meets beyond our expectations for the home inspection. Thanks BPG and Mr Werts. I would highly recommend the company to anyone who needs the inspection.

Lawrence arrived on time and was very professional as he inspected the home. It encompassed a thorough outdoor and indoor inspection. He identified important safety issues that will need to be addressed previous to listing. His report was generated quickly and was available online. Great job! We are happy to recommend Lawrence.
