Pillar To Post The Home Of Home Inspection reviews (34)

I was totally dissatisfied with the home inspection. He did not go the extra mile to check behind boxes of the previous owner to see walls, in the attic etc. I was most concerned about the basement, being a victoria home. This was my first home so I didn't know what to expect. There was no sign (e.g. no wet walls) of damage, so I asked pointy what he thought. He said the house was sound. A few months later, the basement flooded. I called to let him know he said "A house your age you are almost guaranteed a leak". I said it would have helped if you mentioned that before I bought it. Stay away!

We had a complete home inspection. The rep failed to note that our exterior walls were out 8" from base to 2nd floor and our neighbors exterior was visably bowing - aproximatly 1.5'. We needed to have a structural engineer secure our house so the neighbors would not pull it down. In the basement our electrician asked why do you have comercial electrical in your home - this was never noted. We needed to completly rewire the house. Our bathroom was in need of a 'face lift' we found extreme mosture - (i asked him to bring out the moisture tool and he said it was old) we could wring the moisure out of the sub-floor. He called our house a 'gem'... Well we are 6 months into structural repairs and have yet to move in. 80K spent so far.. which is a far cry from the 15K he said would be needed for repairing the deck and sm roof over the kitchen. Stay clear!

We hired pillar to post for a regular house inspection. Our greatest concern was the basement as there were white marks on the wall and we pointed that these marks specifically and asked should we be concerned. The house inspector totally downplayed the potential issue and noted that its probably "just condensation". Well, we was obviously wrong b/c the first weekend after moving in we saw water coming through the wall, through the insulation and saw active cracks that the inspector did not identify for us. We are extremely unhappy with the service we got and obviously, now we have to spend a significant amount of money after moving into the house just this past August. We do not recommend you use Pillar to Post for your home inspection!!!

We hired these guys to do a 2 hour inspection of a house we were interested in purchasing. Before the inspection, I mentioned that I was most interested in investigating any basement issues. In spite of that, he missed a serious and very obvious basement problem - water damage stains on the walls of the basement because he did not look in closets and did not look behind couches - really negligent job!
