Testimonials:
“It is my pleasure to recommend Pillar to Post. I used the company both to inspect the house we were purchasing and to do an inspection on the house I was putting on the market. The inspection on the house to which we were moving reassured us that we had made the right decision. The in-depth information was extremely helpful. We still refer back to the packet when making decisions about updating the house. The checklist included is also very helpful. I chose to have Pillar to Post inspect the house I was selling in order to avoid any surprises during the sale. Because of this inspection, I was able to correct a few problems that might have slowed down the sale of the house. I have recommended the company to both family and friends, and I will continue to do so.

"Pillar to Post did an absolutely outstanding and thorough inspection of the home I bought. Tom is incredibly thorough in his ability to identify issues and suggest their solutions. I trust Pillar to Post and Tom Recke and would certainly recommend them to any home buyer in this area."

“This was my first home buying experience, and I'll admit I was nervous about the inspection. Tom was great, though. He was incredibly thorough, noting everything from the slant of the land around the house to the vents in the attic roof. He checked every outlet and all the plumbing, and I really appreciated the time he spent explaining the foundation and concrete damage to me. I also am grateful that he went so in depth with regard to my wiring and fuse box--he had a lot of info on the manufacturer that wasn't in his inspector training.
I know he has a passion for what he does--it shows in all the research he does into the products used in the homes he inspects. He even gave me insight about the trees in the yard and how much they contributed to the value of the property. In the end, Tom left a binder with a detailed report, recommendations, and CD on home repairs. I would not hesitate to recommend Tom and Pillar to Post to any of my friends buying a house.”

“We have owned other homes and undergone different home inspections. Pillar to Post is by far the best home inspection agency we have used. Tom was very thorough. He looked at everything (even though we were buying a brand new home). He found a few minor problems which were promptly corrected. More importantly, he conducted a radon test, which showed our brand new home had high levels of radon.
Armed with the detailed information he provided, we were able to get this situation corrected quickly and to our satisfaction. Tom is a very detail oriented person, who provides all the answers to your questions about your home. We would never buy a home without Tom to do our home inspection”

"Pillar to Post was recommended to me by a friend, to perform an inspection on what would later come to be my first home. Not only did Tom patiently explain things to me as he went through and checked everything out, but he also provided recommendations on things I should do if I ended up buying the house in order to make it safer and more secure. A year has passed in this house, and no big surprises have come up, and I'm pretty confident there will not be any. I would definitely recommend Pillar to Post to anyone."

“Mr. Recke inspected the prospective home that I wanted to buy. He was very professional and thorough. He took the time to explain everything that was inspected and the results; as well as, answered each and every question that I had. He explained things to me in "layman" terms so that I would know exactly what he was talking about. He also supplied me with a notebook that explained everything inspected the results of the inspection and photographs of the areas of concern.
The notebook also contained extremely informative "fact sheets" concerning everything from roofing to the expansive soils, a seasonal maintenance checklist and a section to organize and record dates and costs of home improvements, property taxes, heating costs, water usage, etcetera. I read all of the information contained in this notebook and find it an invaluable tool; as well as being extremely informative.
I would recommend Mr. Recke to any of my family and friends that wanted a thorough and high quality home inspection.”

“Tom Recke with Pillar to Post inspected our new house this past summer. He was very thorough and professional. He was able and willing to answer any questions we had. It is our first house so we had several questions and were provided with advice and material on how to maintain our new house. We would recommend him and use him in the future.”

“I found your report and assistance in checking our foreclosed property very helpful and reassuring. Since a property such as the one we planned to buy may have serious problems which could reduce the value of the property, we felt much comfort in your inspection and report. We certainly had more peace of mind after going through the process.”
