Greg took the time to go over my unique situation and thankfully gave me the good news that my foundation was solid but the additions that were added to the home were off. He also was generous enough to give me pointers on how to fix the issues with my flooring in my kitchen to get them level. As a first time homebuyer it really was a relief that it wasn’t something much worse. I thank Greg for his wealth of knowledge and expertise. Highly recommended!
