Although he had a latter, roof etc were only observed from the ground. After moving into house we found things daily that should have been noted in his report & thereby the responsibility of seller. Examples: asphalt driveway settled leaving a tripping hazard entering garage, front porch stoop has loose bricks on steps & railings are loose creating unsafe walkway, attic fan motor is seized & inoperable, paver stoop outside patio door has settled & uneven causing tripping hazard, patio pavers are not graded properly causing potential water problem in basement. All of these defects should have been found by the home inspector & should have been corrected prior to sale. Therefore we could not ever recommend Pillar to Post.
Description of Work: Walked around & observed outside &inside structure & made general observations of house & property.

Response from PILLAR TO POST
[removed member name] I'm very sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with the home inspection performed on the property you purchased. I understand your position and want to confirm that we take these matters seriously. The inspector that did your inspection was an independant contractor who has done work for our company for about 8 years. Unfortunately it was our decision not to continue working with this inspector as of September 2013 due to similar circumstances. Sincerely, Bill Sharo Owner/Manager

Jim Wagner performed the inspection. I spoke to his wife to set everything up. She was as nice as could be. Jim arrived early and began inspecting the exterior of the home. He took photos and provided me with a binder full of information. He printed the report on-site as soon as his inspection was complete. He went over all issues and discussed proper home maintenance with me. I am using him again soon for a new acquisition that I am making.
Description of Work: Inspection of my four bedroom, center hall colonial. Included radon testing and termite report.

Work could not be scheduled per above explanation.
Description of Work: My seller gave me one specific day to do inspections and gave me 24 hours notice of such. Pillar to Post could do the inspection on the day I called but was not available the next day and the only day authorized by the seller. So the work was not performed due to no fault of the contractor.

I looked at three older homes and used Pillar to Post. I was able request the same inspector each time. My inspector was extremely thorough and knowledgeable, in addition to being very prompt and professional. I would recommend him without hesitation.
