Your FPI Inspector
Matt Geren
CMI® · MASTER INSPECTOR
CENTRAL NCMatt Geren holds the Certified Master Inspector® designation (InterNACHI ID NACHI21032824), the highest credential in the home inspection industry, with more than 1,000 inspections and training hours behind it. He covers Wake Forest and the surrounding counties from FPI's Goldsboro base. Buyers get a plain-language walkthrough on site and a written report the same day.
Everything in One Appointment
Due-diligence windows are short. FPI performs the full inspection stack in-house, so your buyer books one appointment and gets one report.
| Service | What it covers | Typical for |
|---|---|---|
| Home inspection | Roof, structure, exterior, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interior, attic, crawlspace | Every purchase |
| New construction (pre-drywall, final walkthrough) | Framing, rough-ins and flashing before drywall; punch list before closing | New builds |
| 11-month builder warranty | Full inspection before the one-year warranty expires | New homes at month 10 to 11 |
| Pre-listing inspection | Same report, before the home goes on the market | Sellers and listing agents |
| Wood-destroying insect (WDIR 100) | Termite and WDI inspection; FPI issues the NC WDIR 100 directly | Most loans, every crawlspace home |
| Septic inspection | Tank, distribution box, drain field evaluation | Youngsville, Franklinton and most of Franklin County |
| Sewer scope | Camera inspection of the lateral from house to main | Older homes in downtown Wake Forest and Rolesville |
| Radon testing | FPI places and recovers the continuous monitor and reports the result | Basements and slab homes across northern Wake |
| Mold assessment | Visual assessment and sampling | Crawlspaces, prior water intrusion |
| Water testing | FPI collects samples and coordinates the lab analysis | Well homes in Franklin and Granville Counties |
| Pool and spa | Equipment, safety barriers, surface and plumbing | Homes with pools |
| Manufactured-home foundation letter | HUD foundation certification | FHA and VA loans on manufactured homes |
New Construction in Wake Forest and Rolesville
Wake Forest, Rolesville and Youngsville have been building at full speed for a decade, and a builder’s own walkthrough is not an independent inspection. FPI inspects at three points: pre-drywall, when framing, flashing and rough plumbing and electrical are still visible; final walkthrough, before you sign; and the 11-month warranty inspection, before the builder’s one-year warranty runs out. Once you cross into Franklin County, many new subdivisions are still on private wells and septic, so the water sample and the septic evaluation belong in the same appointment as the inspection.
