Our Inspector:

Greg Wayman is the President and ASHI Certified Inspector of Foundation-2-Rooftop, Inc. As a full-time inspector for over 8 years, he has conducted over 2,000 full home inspections. Greg was the first home inspector in Nebraska and Western Iowa to include heat exchanger inspections in his regular home inspections. For 2009, 1 out of every 4 furnaces he inspected he found to have a crack in the heat exchanger! This invaluable asset has enabled many of his clients to successfully negotiate for a new furnace or $2,000-$4,000 off the purchase price of their home.

In 2008, Greg was also the first inspector in the Omaha Metro (and nationwide as far as we've been able to find) that provides his inspections on video. He found a way to thoroughly and accurately document the true condition of the home visually and audibly. Through video documenation, he's able to clearly show his clients the issues and put them into perspective. The written report he provides alongside the video serves as a quick and easy way to know what the major defects are.

Greg Wayman was elected as a Board Member of The National Association of Home Inspectors, Inc. in 2007 and enjoyed the challenge of serving on the Board and on various committees. In 2008, he was elected to serve on the Executive Committee of NAHI as the Secretary/Treasurer. During the downturn of the real estate market, Greg was in charge of being fiscally responsible with the associations funds. He fought a continuous battle with the management company and some fellow board members who did not want to be fiscally responsible and reduce expenses and unnecessary management hours. Due to his actions, NAHI was able to survive and emerge in 2009 with a balanced budget. In 2009, membership voted the new board in. The management company got their hands dirty and unethically changed Greg's bio just prior to the votes. As a result, Greg lost re-election by 1 vote. That changed the majority stance on the Board and as a result, the management company was able to stay on and continue to bill their management hours. Greg and other key board members who put in countless hours of their free time towards the betterment of NAHI, and many Certified Members parted ways with NAHI in 2009. NAHI is now down to around only 1,000 members nationwide. It used to have over 2,700 members. Greg was also the past President ('04-'07) of The Nebraska Chapter of The National Association of Home Inspectors, Inc. The chapter closed its doors in the Spring of 2009 after the poor decisions by NAHI's national board. Every member switched over to ASHI. ASHI is now around 6,000 members strong.

Check out Greg's Resume

In comparison to other inspectors, please take note the amount of continued education and professional organizations Greg is involved in. You'll notice we did not list being a member of any real estate associations that other inspectors are quick to mention to beef up their resume. Being associated with real estate associations is solely for marketing purposes and out of necessity to lease the E-key so we can access homes. They have nothing to do with an inspector's professional development. We also are not quick to mention being a member of the Better Business Bureau as this is a marketing service companies pay into.

Our Video Inspection Reports:

Each video inspection report documents in high-quality, full color the true condition of the home. This is the highest form of documentation. We explain what we are inspecting, why we are inspecting it, and you will fully understand the issues we find. There is no more thorough inspection report out there. We provide a DVD on-site to the client and their real estate agent and also e-mail a written summary page of the major concerns found.

Our philosophy is to identify the defects, explain why they are an issue, and refer you to the appropriate professionals to help repair/replace that problem. Our video inspection reports greatly assist us in this manner.

When comparing home inspection companies, know that for an inspector to provide video inspection reports, one has to be experienced and knowledgeable to successfully pull it off. New, inexperienced, or unqualified home inspectors are not able to do this. With 100+ home inspectors in the Omaha Metro and approximately only 20 of us are certified by ASHI. Video inspection reports is one decisive way of separating the men from the boys.
