Their customer service was excellent and the appointment was easy to schedule. Lynn was able to come out within 2 days of my call. She was prompt, professional and thorough. She explained the process to me and performed her testing fairly quickly. I appreciated the rush results option as an anxious first-time home buyer! I received a very thorough report with recommendations within 24 hours of the test. I will absolutely call CLS again in the future (fingers crossed I won't need them!), and will recommend them to my family and friends. Thanks again, Lynn!

They originally came out to my home and charged me a fee (high 300s) and took nearly 2 hours to complete their assessment searching for any signs of lead paint. They came across an upstairs outside window sill that had just above the threshold of problematic lead paint chips visible. While I thought, since the home owner can make this quick repair by covering and calking this small little area that the re-inspection would be quick and simple. The inspector went to the house for 10-15 min to check it out and make sure the air didn't transfer any dust particles and poof, I was charge the same fee + 50 for coming to check it out. He said that the fee was buried some where in Paragraph 5 of his dozen documents and basically said he will give me the certificate once this invoice is paid. This is such a scam and I want all of you to know that be sure to negotiate or inquire if there are any additional fees. I was blind sided and would not recommend this company to any of my colleagues in the future.

Can you imaging what I'm feeling right now!?! Pillar to Post missed this missing cap during my home inspection. I have already complained to them regarding several big issues I had within weeks of the inspection. I was angry but Nelson responded cordially and told me that everything was done according to standard. I let it go then. I don't think not identifying this hazard is a standard miss. I feel I have to let people know not to feel like everything is ok after being inspected by Pillar to Post.

BEWARE THE PROBLEMS YOU'LL FIND LATER!…read more The customer service and ability to schedule (and reschedule in the setting of power outages) was excellent, and our inspector went over everything with us at the end which was really appreciated because it is our first house and we were truly ignorant to the whole process. The less than ideal review comes AFTER we have moved into our home. Our first week, we were barely moved in and had mice. We found so many points of entry to be patched that were never identified during inspection and when we reached out with or disappointment after the fact, we were told that since the basement is finished and the homeowners were still living there it limited inspection. We were able to resolve the issue fairly quickly and move on, but since then I've found further reason to give less than 5 stars. We bought the house knowing the front stairs needed work but our inspector only verbalized to us that it needed "patch work" from a mason. Given numerous close calls with tripping and falling, we had started reaching out to masons for price quotes and we have been told by every single person that has come out (5 professionals now) that the stairs are not up to code and will need extensive work- getting quotes between $10-15,000. I am fully aware that masonry is expensive but this is requiring a total tear down and rebuild- something that could have very likely played into negotiations prior to closing. The fact that that the stairs are not even up to code should have been picked up on at inspection- we are now new, young homeowners with an impending significant cost that for the sake of safety needs to be repaired quickly and it has added a new burden of stress to an already hectic time in our lives. For these reasons, I would not recommend using Pillar to Post to my family and friends and have learned my lesson on which questions to ask for future inspections!
