The three pictures seen are mine and of My actual home. This is a real review by an actual customer, based on evidence and photo documentation and not some fake post by a friend to give the reviewed entity 5 stars. The original review is being hidden so that people can not view it and giving a false representation about Pillar to Post Home Inspectors. See below for real review. Nick Hanson w/ Pillar to Post was chosen to conduct the building inspection for our Home purchase in the Flathead Valley in the summer of 2019. He came and did his couple hours of inspection. Sent us a folder with some small discrepancies, like and outlet here or drip there. Then we bought and moved in, Only to find out that there were serious problems. Windows were installed upside down and leaking causing unseen damage. The Radiant heat system was NOT actually working like we were told. There were air locks in the lines, some of the piping was actually installed backwards, and a long list of problems. The kicker is, that when actual professionals came out to our home and looked they saw the glaring issues from feet away! New window installers From Valley Glass ( it took them a little while, but they did do a professional job in the end) took one look and knew immediately that the windows were bad, causing damage, and needed replacing. The Weep Holes were upside down for heavens sake! As for the Radiant heat system, I had Three separate professionals come out and tell me Identical problems with it. I did this because the problems were so expensive to fix I didn't want believe it from just one source. Ultimately, it required a new boiler which would actually heat the system, not the small shower heater that was in place, pipe and getting the air separator turned around so actually pulled air out of the line, and so on to the tune of over $8,000 once it was all said and done. I had a couple quotes and this was by far the best we could do and do it right. Boilers are expensive, copper is expensive, Its all expensive which is why I contacted Nick Hanson about all these things not being revealed by him. To his credit, Nick Hanson actually came back out to the property and looked at all the things the actual professionals easily pointed out in their quick visual inspections. He claimed, while he was here that "He wanted me the customer to be happy of course and that he and Pillar to Post would take care of us". Then in a couple days, assuredly after seeing the cost of all these problems, Nick sent the "fine print" and "blameless" email. I am cutting and pasting here from his actual letter. "A residential real estate inspection is a snap-shot in time, a limited, non-invasive, visual inspection that is conducted under accepted industry-wide protocols. These protocols are promulgated by the American Society of Home Inspectors ("ASHI"). " & "Home inspectors, by very nature of their trade, are generalists and are trained to identify areas in need of follow-up or assessment by an appropriate qualified tradesman. A home inspector is not required to identify the extent of any concern identified, that is the role of a specialist. " As you can imagine, Nick Hanson and Pillar to Post never corrected anything. Never assisted with the cost of fixing anything. Never refunded the $750 we paid for the poor and delinquent home inspection in the first place. Just the formal letter basically stating that home inspectors don't really know anything about construction, or plumbing, or wiring etc. They are "generalists" and totally willing to take your money and swing by, look at the place, and "give you a snap-shot in time". read more
