Inspector did not see asbestos in the house and did not inform me that asbestos could be a problem…read more Multiple people have told me that he should have said something. One item was the furnace pipe/chimney flute that was clearly shown during the inspection without anything around it or covering it. The company said they are not required to assess for asbestos and they can't help me. This was after they didn't believe me that the inspector missed asbestos and asked for pictures. I do not recommend this company. After receiving an inspection report you get emails to give a review and I felt pushed to give a positive review at first.

I hired Collier in Nov. of 22 to do a home inspection on a home that was purchased as an investment…read moreproperty for VETERANS... This home project was/is a family style veteran home. When the report was submitted to me be via email (thank God I kept it!!!) Nothing major was reported... So, I closed on this dreamy house and within an hour of closing a neighbor came to me to ask "how can you move into a home w/out a SEPTIC TANK???" Being from NYC, I had no idea what she was speaking about.. She told me the sellers of 14 Linden Lane in Hyde Park had a septic co. over months before I came into the picture and they were made aware of NO SEPTIC SYSTEM just and old rotted out/crumbling cesspool that was covered up.. So, what should have been a joyous day for me was now ruined... I called a septic co. over and they confirmed that there was no septic and there was proof of prior investigation re: this septic location due to an "indicator" being left behind by the other septic co. months prior. COLLIER, NOR MY REALTOR EVER SUGGESTED OR MENTIONED TO GET A SEPARATE SEPTIC INSPECTION!!! $15,000 (yes, fifteen thousand dollars ) later, I have to invest in new septic system... But that's not all!!! By bonus here (total sarcasm and disgust) is that the plumbing in the house was not up to code ! That, too was never shared with me... I had two independent plumbers come to the home and they shared the same diagnosis... PLUMBING WILL NOT PASS CODE! $15,000 (yup, fifteen thousand dollars ) later I had to replumb the entire home... When I complained to Steve, he apologized and assured me that his workers ALWAYS RECOMMEND A SEPARATE SEPTIC INSPECTION!!! I GUESS THAT MEMO WAS NOT SENT TO ME, BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M HEARING OF IT ALMOST FOUR WEEKS AFTER CLOSING... I had two marines lined up to live in the home within the first two wks. of february... They are now living in a shelter!! i have a huge hole in my yard... I feel so tricked! Disheartening is an understatement.... My contractor cannot even use the facilities until this septic tank scenario is cleared up... Now, I have the health dept. and DEP involved.... I CANNOT MAKE THIS UP!!! Cautionary tale:::: GO ELSEWHERE.... DON'T USE THIS SERVICE...

Ron is the real deal. This is not a paid review or do I have any affiliation with Pillar to Post…read more Ron came before the inspection time and was already checking the house. He is super thorough and quick to point anything out as well as explain it. He had patience with every question I asked and even saved us money on some options. Ron is the guy you want to inspect your house so you will go in to your new home feeling safe and comfortable.

Having used Pillar and Post in the past, we did not hesitate to contact them again, this time in a…read moredifferent state. While Ron was professional and came quickly, he was very limited in what he would do or say. For example, when asked if the oil tanks were rusty, he replied that he could not see them, so couldn't say. Our realtor, bent over and looked and was able to see they were not rusty. We paid an extra fee for termites. He saw "evidence that they had been there" but wouldn't say if they were active. We had to pay another inspector to come out and tell us it was inactive, and had been painted over years before.
