45320 Pillar To Post Home Inspectors - Inspection took place while I was on a weeks vacation. Returned to find 2 lights left on, crawlspace access door not replaced, A/C turned down 7° from where he found it. And all outside windows were not safety locked as he found them. read more

I used them twice for my house inspection. Best place to get your pre-purchase home inspection. They have an amazing team and they explain everything in detail before handing in a detailed report. read more

Very professional - The Inspector did not take shortcuts or hurry the Inspection. The Inspector was very thorough. Since our home was only 4(four) years old, the Inspector could have cut corners. He did not. He found items that were critical that they be fixed right away, but also identified items that were very cosmetic. This allowed us to generate a Post- Inspection report that allowed us to better bargain with the seller. We highly recommend Pillar to Post Dayton. read more

I would highly recommend people to stay away from the company if you are buying an old house or big house. First, they spent very little time inspecting the house. Mine is over 4,000 sq. ft., and the inspector spent a little over an hour to finish all the inspection. I shared my bad experience (as I will outline here) with all my friends. It turned out one of my neighbors used them when they first moved to Oakwood, and he said the company's inspector used half an hour. Given that, it is not surprising that they missed many things during the inspection. However, missing things are not bad enough. How they handle after-inspection customer service is the reason that I gave them 1 star. They missed several leaks from the house. They missed a basement leak, which I was able to discover right after my move-in. That was fixed and not much damage incurred. However, they missed the leak from first floor, which costed us a fortune. The pipe under the sink was leaking and they didn't check it. The leak caused the first-floor hardwood floor to be soaked and broken. The water leaked to the basement, causing the issues with electric lines between basement and first floor. I had to hire people to fix the hardwood (as of today I still couldn't find anyone to do the job) as well as hire electrician to fix the power lines. What really pissed off me is how the inspector and the company's owner handle my complaints. When the inspector answered my phone about the leak, the first thing he said was there could be many things happened between inspection and move-in date, anyone could break the pipe and make it leak. I said the house was vacant, and his response was "it could be the appraiser who turned on the water and make the leak". I was shocked by his response. I asked around, and almost everyone told me there was no reason for an appraiser to turn on the water for anything. He had no interest in fixing the mistake he caused, nor admitting it had anything to do with him. He showed me the picture that he checked the facet, but he didn't check the under-sink at all, as if he did, he would see the leak right away. By the end, he told me that it is written in their report that for a house at this age, the water leakage should be expected, and the homeowner should check all the sink to make sure there was no leaks. In another word, their inspection didn't cover any water leakage, as for the old house, there is no need for them to check, there must be leaks. Then, there was two beehives in balcony above my front door. There were some bees flying around the balcony all the time, but he didn't even bother to check. I spent over $1,000 to hire beekeepers to remove the beehives and have a handyman fix the balcony. When I pointed it to the inspector, what he said was "It was the past owner's problem, they tried to hide the beehives from being visible." Maybe I was wrong, but my impression was the reason for hiring an inspector is to discover the issues that the seller tried to hide. So advice for the reader, if you try to identify issues with a house, don't expect this company to uncover it. Lastly, there was mold problem in the basement. They said they don't cover mold detection. So in one word, if your house have any issues after the inspection, it had nothing to do with them. It has to do with the age of the house, the seller, or yourself - according to this company. Finally, last word. If you are unfortunate like me to hire them, don't talk to the owner if you have any issues. It just will make your day worse. The owner basically said the same thing as their inspector - that is they had nothing wrong, any issues that you have with your house are after the inspection. During the conversation, the worst is that when I told him that I will post this review online, he said you can post anything you like, but I will rebuttal with anything I like. His attitude towards their customer was absolutely the worst that I can get from any company. I just saw similar reviews about the water leakage and how the company said water leaks are expected from old house. I guess that is why they put it in the report so that they don't need to check any water leaks. I regretted a lot for not reading all the reviews. I hope you won't make the same mistake! read more

Jeff was my inspector, the house I bought was built in 1988, it was a custom home about 4000 sq ft. The inspection was in November 2016 I moved in January 2017, had the house painted August 2017. Found Carpenter ants, wood trim was soft to touch. Light switches not working were found to be wired wrong. Cabinets draws falling out. No hot water in basement shower. Back doors rotting from water damage. Was told they made a disclaimer that a house if this age you would expect to have wood damage. Then why pay to have it inspected. Could have done a better job myself. Wouldn't recommend them . read more

Mike, the owner of Pillar to Post, was thorough and helpful. His detailed report helped me better navigate the things that needed to be fixed (electrical, plumbing, radon, and mold) by the homeseller before we made the purchase. read more

this company inspected a home recently the inspector called out the roof, the gutters, chimney, chimney caps old, light dimmers, stated evidence of rodents, said a bathroom sink was not working properly on and on. Let us state that the roof is a little over 2 years old, the gutters are a little over 2 years old, the chimney was completed repaired by a professional chimney company and had just been chimney cleaned and inspected about 1 year ago, the caps of the chimney are a little over 2 years old, stated the dining room light would not stay on of course it won't if you have the dimmer switch turned off just turn the little nob, the home was inspected for rodents and insects about 1 year ago the bathroom sink he address in a little over 2 years old we had been cleaning the home for about a week we used this sink everyday that was nothing wrong with it. We have receipts for all this work and the company names that did the work. In addition the poor buyers were asking us all kind of questions about all of this when I asked why don't you ask your inspector they told us THEY DID but he could not answer them. This awful inspection almost costs the buyers the home they wanted to buy. If we had not answered their concerns and given them all the updated information about the home we were ready to just walk away from them. Under not circumstance would we ever use this inspector who doesn't even almost brand new items and cannot even work a simple light dimmer. BEWARE read more

BEWARE!! This guy will turn a blind eye to the most critical !! He missed needing a disconnect for our air conditioner, he missed the disconnect for the hot tub, obviously this company does not care about families /home owners.... He said he looked at the roof, however we had to make a repair and found that the entire roof did not have felt paper placed prior to the shingles, this guy is a idiot.......dont use them and tell all that you know not to use them!!! BTW we also encountered numerous plumbing issues after we bought the home, i dont believe that he even looked at the drains......sad sad sad business, dont know how they close their eyes at night knowing how they have mis lead, mis informed , and took a "we dont care" attitude but they sure did take the money!!! an absolute crook!!!! read more
