Scott did a phenomenal job inspecting a house we are buying in Berthoud. Happily, there were no glaring issues. He gave us a good overview of everything. Also came back to get us the results of the radon test. He is very thorough and provided a very detailed report. I think someone is messing with his account here as there are some strange things written. Just know he will do an amazing job for you. read more

I thought this review was going to be positive. After I purchased my home I found visible mold in the baseboard trim in my bathroom. I pulled it out and there was inactive mold all in the drywall and subfloor under the tile and I will now have to pay for mold remediation. This is a MASSIVE oversight and will cost me thousands which I could have maybe gotten from the previous owner as credit. 2 stars because Scott was very nice, easy to schedule, and the inspection review and report was clean to look at and easy to access online. He gave me some good information about my home copper pipes, that they are very valuable and not to let plumbers take them when they fixed a plumbing issue. He was up to date on codes and pointed out violations, and got me SOME credits from the seller... but honestly I'd go for someone who knows to look out for mold and water damage around toilets (an obvious place). read more

Scott was 10/10. He was very accommodating to some of the challenges we had with our real estate agents, and also worked with us on completing an inspection outside of his normal area. He was very knowledgeable, the write-up was clear, and he spent hands-on time with my wife and I at our property. He went well above and beyond, and we will 100% use him again. Thank you. read more

Pillar to Post is a home inspection franchise that most people have heard of. This particular office Tom Recke team is the preferred home inspector for all star realtors and business associations. Home inspections can be scheduled online and by email. My family have used them on five home inspections now and his inspection reports have saved us thousands of $$$$ during contract negotiations. You get what you pay for. Tom Recke team also offers Sewer scope and radon inspection at the same appointment time. They offer 3 different price packages I usually go with the middle premium package. Your uncle Joe is a real smart mechanic or electrician and offered to do a free home inspection for you. But please don't hire this uncle Joe to inspect a half million dollar product! read more

Inspection was done well and they scheduled us quickly. Even after we had a snafu on my part with scheduling. Everything was emailed same day and seemed thorough although to be honest the business I was looking at purchasing had so many issues I wasn't paying too much attention. The only complaint I have is when asked about pricing I was obviously told the best is the best and I should spend much more for the package. I just prefer the "here are our options, here's what you get" sales approach and on a previous home I purchase (same company I believe but Colorado Springs location?) I paid extra for mold and water detection and two months later when we ripped the kitchen out for new cabinets there was mold and an active slow leak in the wall. Neither was detected and looking at the mold it had been leaking for a very long time. So just be aware that those add-on services may not be 100%. read more

Phenomenal customer service from first to last touch. Bill was thorough in his inspection, took the time to explain the results to us. We are very grateful for a thorough inspection and friendly service. The asbestos tester, Mike, is a riot and the sewer scope company Pillar to Post uses was great. We had some good laughs with serious business. I highly recommend Pillar to Post! read more

Thorough, professional, respectful, and competitively priced. 10/10 would recommend, and will use again.

Bill inspected a home for us today, and we were blown away by his meticulous attention to detail. He spent much longer there than any inspector we've used in the past because he really took his time to examine every area closely. He was happy to answer our questions along the way, and he provided us with tons of helpful information and suggestions. At the end of the inspection, he went through his report with us carefully, and we received a copy about an hour later. I would highly recommend Bill to anyone looking for a home inspector!! read more

Will did great. Breaks it down nice and simple. Also personable which is nice.

Scott has now inspected two homes for us and provided amazing service each time. He was very thorough and transparent when explaining the results. We appreciate and trust his expertise! read more

Absolutely amazing experience. Responsive, set things up quickly, extremely thorough, great to deal with, instant thorough report, great advice with lots of patience from Bill (the inspector). read more

Going through the process of buying a home is frustrating! But you know what made it infinitely easier? Two things: 1) Requesting a quote for a home inspection on Yelp 2) Receiving a detailed response from Pillar to Post within 20 minutes Yes, it's just that easy. With a click of the button, I was able to connect with the P-T-P office manager, find out about the different packages offered, and schedule an appointment for an inspection - all within an hour. The inspector who came to our proposed home was incredibly thorough. We found out some important fixes that need to be made, including radon and mold mitigation. I'm *so* glad we sprung for the extra $ to get a mold test in the house. Many would skip it since Colorado is such a dry climate, but you never know what they might find. The home buying process ain't over. But there seems to be a light at the end of the difficult tunnel. Thank you, Pillar to Post, for helping reassure a first time home buyer that it's all going to be OK (assuming we make the fixes they recommend to the home). read more

Scott of the Roetz Team did as thorough an house inspection as one could hope for. So thankful I hired them. Scott went through the entire house, including crawl space, checking foundation, the roof (a new roof needed; sellers took care of it), and a number of other things that a less meticulous inspector might have missed. I rarely post a review, but felt compelled to do so. Hire them. You won't be disappointed. Plus, you'll learn a lot about your new home! read more

Bruce, was on time & more than thorough. He walked through the entire inspection...patiently answering my questions and explaining everything he was doing. His report was on point, and he answered our questions even after the the inspection was completed...making us completely comfortable with our new home. A very big "thank you" to Pillar to Post for having high quality, customer centric inspectors like Bruce. read more

Tom Recke performed a home inspection on our new house yesterday evening and did a fantastic job. He arrived promptly and was extremely thorough. I immediately felt comfortable with him poking around the place and felt confident in his observations and opinions. He spent extra time answering all of our millions of questions and seemed to care about the future of our home. Home inspectors that I have worked with in the past have seemed to want to get in and out quickly and were less patient in answering my questions. Tom from Pillar to Post was invested in the process from the moment he showed up. He followed up with PDF copies of the inspection report and contractor list right away (in addition to the hard copy he printed for us at the house on his portable wireless laser printer...so cool!) and make it very clear that he would be available to answer any and all additional questions that my husband and I could come up with. I would recommend Tom and Pillar to Post to any of my friends or family who are buying a new home. read more

We're buying a 1917 Bungalow and our agent recommended Tom Recke saying she trusted him more because of the age of the home. I looked up some reviews on him and liked what I read. Tom was very thorough and knows really does know older homes. He found electrical issues that I think could easily have been missed by an inspector that wasn't as attentive to detail. He explained everything the house needed from from large to small, and helped us understand what was serious and what was less important. We'd certainly use him again and recommend him. read more

Just finished my home inspection with Pillar to Post. This is the second time using them and they do a great job. Bill Ericson was my inspector this round. He took his time to explain the issues that arose and ways to mitigate any further problems. He was very thorough, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Don't hesitate to give these guys a call for your next home inspection. read more

I called Pillar To Post based on Yelp reviews and can say that they did not disappoint. I am so happy that I decided to take a chance and contact them for my home inspection. I called on Monday and was able to have the inspection completed on Wednesday. Jana coordinated the inspection quickly and they were able to start the radon test the day before the inspection so that I would have the results by the time the inspection was over on Wednesday afternoon. Tom performed my inspection and he was great! He made sure that I was informed on everything that he was doing and made me feel very comfortable to ask questions. He gave very knowledgable responses and information. I feel like I am so much more informed on the inspection process and I know so much more about the home that I will be purchasing than I would have without Tom. Thanks Tom and Jana for such prompt, friendly, and experienced service. read more

This place is AMAZING! As a first time home buyer, I was impressed. My realtor uses them and they give a 70+ page report. It's easy to reference because everything has a picture and everything is detailed. I can just send it to a work person to get an estimate. I was very happy with Bill and would recommend this highly for your home inspection! My parents were even impressed and they used to flip homes in Boston. Trust me, they are worth it! read more

Specifically requested Tom Recke and set an appointment for 3 days later. Very professional and thorough. I am buying a house that is only 4 years old and Tom found a surprising number of objectionable items - which is precisely why you order an inspection. I now have confidence in my purchase and leverage with the seller to correct the items before close- which are the two elements I require from an inspection (It pays for itself and then some, trust me) I Highly Recommend PillarToPost as the inspection company of choice, and Tom Recke is a good example of a professional inspector with a decade of experience. Tom is a big guy, I'm not sure how he got into the attic and tight areas, but he did - and there's photographic proof in the report! I will use them again for my next real estate transaction. read more

We are buying a new construction home. There are so many inspectors out there but what had me at hello was Jana. She is the voice you meet when calling. She was very accommodating and kind unlike the others that I contacted. Our inspection was with Tom. He is extremely knowledgable with a touch of humor. We learned a lot following him around. It was interesting that he even tagged important things like the main water shut off valve. Then when the inspection was over, we received our inspection on the spot. He had his handy dandy printer and completed it with a binder of info. He went over it with us highlighting the summary page of important findings. I highly recommend Tom and his team. read more

Tom was great! Not I only was the inspection done well and the report a fantastic product, Tom was professional and an all around great guy that easily explained the whole process and how things worked in the house. We are building and I didn't think we needed an inspection but got one anyway. I am glad we did as Tom found issues that even after moving in we would not have found. I highly recommend an inspection for buying used or new and I highly recommend Pillar to Post! We will definitely be using Tom from Pillar to Post again for a warranty inspection. read more

Updated. BEWARE!!!!! He makes things up as he goes. May be the reason for the 5 star rating is because I found out that he manages to get reviews removed based on the seller not being a direct customer. This inspector did an inspection on my home in Thornton, CO. He did enter my home and left his advertisements, flyers for recommended services, and coupons on my private property and made comments on my home in which some were just not true and no photos to show the most the damage claimed. My name and address are on the inspection documentation. This seems to be interaction, although it was not direct or paid for. My previous review that was removed shows he does not want to rectify the problem. He did not offer to make it right. He made accusations of the level of care for my home and accused me of amateur work, and hiring the wrong contractors, which he knows nothing about. If he wants to lie in his report and have inaccuracies, assumptions and exaggerations. I feel that I have the right to state my concerns about his misconceptions and inaccuracies. Is it only the buyers that can comment and review services?This has affected me negatively and a sale was lost on my beautiful home because of his inaccuracies. Major issues reported with no substantial proof that it exists not even any pictures to demonstrate the so called damage. He may tell you things that are his opinion, but not necessarily true. How could he put things in a report that is absolute falsehoods? It appears that he is not as knowledgeable as he perceives. *There was no negative drainage issues at the North elevation of my property, nor was there any water to move away from the foundation. No pictures to demonstrate this. The north elevation slopes down toward the street.as seen in the photo provided on the inspection report *He claims that a combustion air intake is not allowed in a bedroom. Turns out it is simply an air return vent. The HVAC system is in perfect working order and well within code. I have had a twenty plus year certified HVAC company confirm this. Dirty filter? It's a new filter, Installed it a couple weeks ago and have maintained it during my 12 years of ownership *There are absolutely no signs of "loose tiles, bad grout, soft walls, or mold" in any of the bathrooms or throughout the home. A certification for no mold in the home has been done. No moisture was detected as stated in the inspection. No photos included. *The light switch that he says was removed from the master bath, was actually the cover for the volume control for the prewired sound throughout the home. The light fixture above the tub had a bulb out. It is the same switch as the vanity. *The refrigerator is fully operational, he didn't bother to turn on the water for the fridge in order to operate correctly. *"Remarkable amount of ponding water? Day after a very wet heavy snowy, with the sun shining as stated, snow melting.The so called puddle was dry the very next day. Besides, the "ponding water" was far enough away from the structure and impossible to be a potential cause of any type of damage. Engineering report at time home was built says 5 feet from home structure. *The electrical NM wiring and conduit for the basement that was constructed in 2000 IS to code for this time frame. *The floors in the bathrooms are not "worn", they are ceramic tile in great condition. *ALL bathrooms need to be retiled? Untrue Two of those bathrooms have no tile for the enclosures. It is fiberglass enclosures. *If not all lights were tested, why did he say that some didn't work? *He states that the sink in the garage could freeze up. But failed to mention that the garage is insulated. *Yes, the dryer vent had issues/easy fix, The 4 prong cord to the dryer is in the storage room and the outlet is simple to change/simple fix. *One of the sump pump accesses is under the carpet. It has been like that for years. The other access is in the utility room. This is how the builder designed it. There is no problem with the sump pump it works properly. Maybe the contractors that put the vapor barrier recently forgot to plug it in. Its plugged in now! *He claims the main water valve has not been turned for a long time and can cause damage. Total assumption. *He claims missing hardware from vanity in basement bathroom. This is non-existent. The vanity consists of a mirror and light fixture, no hardware missing. *Repair and replacement for blinds? The blinds function fine and are all in working order and in descent shape. Hunter Douglas honeycomb cellular shades. New paint in and out, carpet, concrete all around, garage door opener, window wells, vapor barrier, garbage disposal. read more

The Roetz Team - He didn't know that the combustion air comes from outside.This vent connects to cold air intake on furnace on the opposite side of wall. O_o - Home Inspectors Near Me

Tom is incredibly thorough and revealed all the major issues with the property that was inspected. He provided a very detailed report with an astonishing quickly turnaround. Highly recommend! read more

Mr. Ericson was very thorough and was able to explain all of his findings in great detail. The report was extremely professional and easy to read/understand. I highly recommend Tom Recke Team Property Inspection! The Smith Family Elizabeth, CO. read more

Thomas was our inspector for the new house we are getting and he was great. Got there early to start the job and very professional of doing the job. He took his time and is very knowledgeable. He took many pictures of things that should be replaced or recommends to be replaced. This really help us to tell the seller to get them replaced. I also called Thomas a couple days later and was very nice about answering my questions regarding something he had recommended. Thank you for the inspection and all the phone numbers in case I need other work done. I extremely recommend him and I also saved his number in my contacts in case I need him in the future. read more

I have had the pleasure of working with Bill Ericson from Pillar to Post on three inspections in the winter of 2019. He is very professional and knowledgable. He always takes time to explain his findings. He gave my broker and me the information we needed to understand the condition of the properies. I also highly recommend a sewer scope when doing a home inspection. In one of the houses, I had inspected Mat Henning's sewer scope, enlightened me to a significant problem. read more

This was a super easy and efficient sewer scope transaction. I ordered it online on Wednesday afternoon and they were in the house and done by Thursday, literally less than 18 hours later. They provided a nice written summary and a Youtube video showing exactly what they saw. I would absolutely use them again and have no reservations about recommending them. The communication, scheduling and online payment was so efficient that I literally spent about five minutes setting this up and then and another five minutes watching the video, listening to the technicians comments and putting my mind at ease. I simply wish all service providers could work this efficiently and communicate so openly. This is definitely a five star organization. read more

This was our first home purchase and we sought a highly qualified inspector. Pillar to Post has great reviews, so I expected they would do a great inspection. I am completely disappointed in the inspection and their service. There were so many items missed it is absolutely ridiculous especially since it was a "1600" point inspection. I would not recommend this company to anyone. read more

Thomas' inspection was fantastic. Very professional. I was unable to attend and my wonderful real estate broker-Nikki Ragonese-went in my place. He explained all of the issues with the house in detail and also created a very helpful binder with each and every issue from the tiniest to the larger things that could be potential safety issues. In the end, Thomas armed us with the knowledge to proceed in the best way for my partner and I. I am very grateful I chose Thomas Recke and Pillar to Post! I highly recommend him if you need an inspection whether you are the buyer or seller. read more

Tom and his co worker were very thorough on the whole home. He would bring certain things up to me as he found them so I can see as well. I appreciated that because I'm a new homebuyer and very new to the process. He walked me through everything and answered any questions I had in detail! I'd definitely recommend him to everyone- especially a new home buyer! read more

Lee was great! He did a wonderfully thorough inspection, finding a number of issues that we were able to have the seller address before we bought the home, saving us a fair bit of money down the road, even though it was essentially new construction. Most importantly, Lee found an issue with carbon monoxide leaking from our furnace, and that is where he began going above and beyond: Lee agreed to stop by to re-check the furnace with his monitor once the issue was fixed. However, when he re-checked it, he determined that there was still an issue with the CO. The seller tried to say that it was normal, but Lee called his contacts to confirm that it was not, so the seller continued to work on the issue, and Lee was willing to come back AGAIN once we had been assured it was addressed. His final inspection showed that the seller had, in fact, fixed the issue, providing us with peace of mind. Would highly recommend P2P! read more

Absolutely amazing!!!! We went through a stressful time finding the right home for us in this market jumping from one house to another within a day. I had to cancel and then reschedule inspections back up the night before an early morning inspection multiple times. I would have hated me as a customer, lol. But these guys made me feel like it's no big deal! They were responsive (even outside their business hours), super polite, and didn't even take any money from me (even though I offered) for super-late notice cancellations. Tom, the owner, was great and easy to talk to! The customer service was above and beyond! Bruce did a spectacular job with an inspection itself as well! The report was detailed and professional. He answered all of my questions on a multiple occasions after the inspection was done (right after, days after, and even weeks after). I highly recommend them! read more

Tom was super through and he printed out a book with his inspection results before he left. Done and done!

My realtor found Tom Recke at Pillar to Post to inspect an older home. He was on time, professional and very detail oriented. It was my first time in escrow and he spent a great deal of time to both inspect and walk me through his findings. He was committed to ensuring that I understood the conditions and the work that was to be done for the home. He was available for follow up discussion and was also committed to identifying any public records that might explain some of the findings. He found a number of things key things that were missed by others. The fact that my realtor chose him also showed their commitment to ensuring that I was going to be happy with my first home purchase. read more

When we bought a home recently, we hired Pillar to Post based on these excellent Yelp reviews. It seems that everyone who had a great experience had their inspection done by Tom -- and maybe that would have been the case if he, and not a team member of his, done our inspection. We've been in our home for two weeks now and the number of things that were missed after a 4-hour inspection? Stunning. I'm increasingly frustrated that I paid over $800 to keep stumbling upon so many things on my own. Maybe Tom is A+ at his job, but his team is not so much. (Though big thumbs up for the sewer scope guy they contract with. He was awesome, thorough & informative!) read more

This is the second time I've used Tom Recke for a home inspection. He is extremely thorough and very professional. He is always on-time and provides a comprehensive, detailed, photos-included report on-site at the end of his inspection. He's very knowledgeable and his service is worth every penny! read more

I used Pillar to Post prior to the one year builder walk through on my new home. From start to finish they were professional, and I knew what to expect. The pre-visit paperwork is clear, the inspector showed up on time and was super thorough. He even gave me a electronic file plus a book with photos and details of each issue he found. He marked the downstairs gas and water shutoffs with a special card, so even a dullard like I am would know which lever to pull in an emergency. I showed the report to my dad, who lives out of state and who recently served for a third time as general contractor and labor for building his own home. He thought the inspector was very detailed, and agreed with him on most items. The rest Dad didn't know enough about for my specific house. I'd definitely recommend Pillar to Post, and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. read more

I had the privilege of having Bruce Carnes from Pillar to Post do our home inspection. He was incredibly thorough and made useful, seemingly objective recommendations. All in all the service was very professional, I can strongly recommend Pillar to Post for a home inspection. read more

I used Pillar to Post for my recent home purchase inspection. The process was stress free. My realtor arranged for the inspection, but, I was able to review their terms, approve the document, and pay online. I received a confirmation before the inspection, and within an hour or so of the inspection, I received an electronic version of the report. It was easy to read. Had pictures of some of the issues found, recommendations, and links to some tips to fix and clean some items. I would use them again and recommend them highly to everyone. read more
