BPG Property Inspections

My inspector was Michael Dugan. Cost was $ 400.
Michael was great. We recently put an offer on a house. The seller had a previous thorough inspected the home but as a standard process, we hired our own inspector. We gave Michael the other inspection report so that he can confirm and recheck what was previously reported. Michael spent an hour and a half looking at every nook and cranny. He actually arrived 20minutes before our scheduled time so he may have been around longer than an hour and a half.
I wanted to follow him around just to get a better understanding of what I’m buying and what to pay attention to. He encouraged me to follow him around! Took me to the attic, suited me up and took me into the crawl space where we found a dead surprise. It was a very educational experience.
What Michael found that was missing from the seller’s report was asbestos shooting up the heating vents. He was unsure and recommend we goto the hardware store to get a cheap asbestos tester and do it ourselves. He was extremely concerned of the asbestos so I thought we should move forward a professional. We hired an asbestos inspector and he confirmed Michael’s suspicion. The asbestos inspector cost an additional $ 350; a total of $ 750 for the two inspectors. We are now back to the negotiation table that can save us the cost of removing asbestos and putting it back on the seller. Finally, this mother fucker is saving me from potential lung cancer.

If I could leave negative stars, I would! Curt was absolutely a joke! He wouldn’t remove a towel from the sink to inspect the plumbing and instead of saying something, just wrote in his report that he was unable to inspect plumbing due to personal items in the sink.
He missed leaking windows and dry rot in window sills.
He was super quick, very brief and really did a terrible job. We paid him twice as much as the pest inspector and he did a quarter of the work!
I am so disappointed and disgusted that the quality of work is so poor and lackluster. Pathetic! Never use them unless you want to get into buying a house with tons of repairs that were missed on inspection.

Anthony inspected the home I am planning to purchase. He did a very thorough job and was very patient in explaining all details as well as the consequences in terms of repairing/​fixing for a buyer. His report was thorough with pictures and commentaries. It was not a checklist report, but rather narrative. He also sent the report in the same day while I was in a hurry during the process. I give Anthony a five star.
However I did want to note for those who’s looking for help from BPG that they do not perform termites or general roof inspections — Anthony looked at the roof and spotted problems but suggested a roof inspection to be done just to be sure. So for those who didn’t mind mothering setting up multiple appointments with different companies/​inspectors for general/​roof/​termite inspections, you will get a great home inspection from BPG.
