The SW Washington Pillar to Post team are the only inspectors I trust for my clients. I have had…read moremany other inspectors from other companies fill in when in a time crunch and Pillar to Post has no openings, and they are never as thorough. I have used all the inspectors multiple times from the SW Washington team and they all have done a wonderful job. I have yet to have a cleint complain about anything being missed! I don't typically write reviews but I saw a negative review while looking something up and got sucked in. The negative reviews appear to either be for another franchise, out to throw fake shade, or their requests were so far fetched, the inspector couldn't do it within their LEGAL scope of work. I get nothing for leaving this post other then the satisfaction of letting everyone know to trust these guys and to not listen to the wackos leaving the ridiculous reviews :)

Do not use this inspector. This company will not look at the stuff that matters. I used them…read morethrough a realtor's recommendation and it was a huge mistake. This guy didn't check all outdoor light operation. Nothing was on the report regarding the outdoor scones working. I later found out that two of the outdoor lights were not even wired, they were just screwed into the wall. Garage lights were not installed correctly, having visible exposed wires that needed junction boxes. These were only a few items that were missed. Do yourself a favor and find a home inspector who is experienced in construction and is out there to work for you and not the realtor trying to make the sale.

Wow. ETA was recommended to us by Oregon Restoration after a dishwasher flood that caused mold…read moregrowth. Karin was far more than a mere mold tester. She was astonishingly knowledgeable about every aspect of mold, including products for DIY cleaning, health symptoms, and online resources for healing. I took a huge amount of notes just during our first conversation. I also felt her prices were very fair, even without all the free education I received. With the help of these two great companies, some DIY cleaning, and Karin's solid advice we were able turn a frightening and toxic situation into a healthy one. Our home is safe and my symptoms are gone. Thanks, Karin!!

In addition to being very knowledgeable, she is clearly passionate about what she's doing and the effect she hopes to have on people's overall wellbeing. She did not try to sell products, but instead took on the role of helping me solve my problem, in a way that I felt was above and beyond expectations. It's actually She is a caring, empathetic human who genuinely wants to help and support you. Your time is important -- don't waste it calling anyone else!

I had responses right away but Matt and his wife seemed to be the most reponsive and willing to answer all questions. Matt showed up right on time. Super friendly and professional. When I bought my house six years ago in my contract they were to have the air ducts cleaned. It appears that the house has never had that done as he found stuff from construction. The house is 19 years old. We have already referred him to friends! Thanks again!!!

Can't rave enough. Had yelp send out requests to multiple companies for duct work cleaning. Matt…read moreresponded almost immediately. He was by far the most reasonably priced and also had a special that included dryer vent cleaning as well. He was available to come the following day at 8am. How could I say no? He showed up the next day exactly on time, walked the home and then got to work. He found some unexplained rust at the bottom of our furnace. He had a theory about why it was there and after the work was done in the house, turned things on to try and prove or disprove the theory with our AC. I'm grateful because now I know there is an issue and can get it resolved before the summer when we will need the AC. He also found that our ducts were not connected under one room of our home. He let me know and then offered to repair them for a minute additional expense. Done! He even tried to fix a weatherproofing strip that popped up while he was here! Overall, I will keep this company name and number for future work and recommend them to anyone and everyone that asks. It's rare to find someone that does what they say and goes above and beyond anymore but power vac does.

I have a good sense of people and there was a sense that James loved his job! He has a sense of purpose and urgency. My property report was D E T A I L E D.

The fee is a wise investment! *Realtor's take note: we bought a bigger and more expensive home because of this guy.

I couldn't be happier with choosing Cody Farr-Baenziger from non profit home inspections. He was…read moreextremely detailed and very polite. He made every effort to accommodate our new construction home that ended up not being completed on the day he arrived. So he inspected what he could and then came in on his day off and finished the inspection once the house was 95% done. He was very thorough, communicative, and answered all my questions. Very knowledgeable and professional. I have total peace of mind after reviewing the inspection with Cody and getting his opinion on areas that needed repair. He also provided same day reports which were very easily accessible online, fully documented and explained. I found the interface easy to use and I liked the feature that allows you to compile a list of repairs you can send to your realtor and builder. All in all, highly recommend. The 5 star reviews are the real deal for these guys!

Bob informed me that they didn't actually do abatement. But rather than just tell me to have a nice day and hang up, he went on to explain the test results that I had received from another company.

I wish I had started with him and he will definitely be who I call in I need testing in the future.

We're a couple novices when it comes to owning a home, so having someone with Lee's patience was such a blessing when it came time to go over the inspection report. The report was extremely detailed, but Lee was sure to highlight the most important parts when it came to safety and longevity. You absolutely have to give these people your business if you're looking to support a non-profit and get a great inspection.

Each inspector has been thorough and detailed in their reporting, thoughtful in letting us know big and little things they notice around the property, and are exceptionally speedy with getting the report written and shared. For those who want detail, these reports are often 40+ pages with pictures and descriptions. I've felt confident in the home buying and selling process based on these inspections. We will certainly continue using this company due to their reliability, detail, and professionalism.
