Inspection Experience And Exceptional Customer Service

We have conducted more than 1,024 home inspections, and we are frequently called one of the best in the South King County home inspection industry. Our team has inspected homes in all kinds of neighborhoods, from older historic neighborhoods to the new luxury homes, ranch estates, condos, and every other possible type of home imaginable.

Our knowledge and experience makes us a resource for local real estate professionals, and we conduct Continuing Education Courses to educate real estate agents in the community. So far we have conducted more than 20 of these courses, and we will offer more in the future.

A Thorough, Unbiased, And Professional Home Inspection

A home inspection will typically take 2-4 hours to finish, and for all of the inspection findings to be reported. Clients trust us for an accurate assessment of the home condition, and this is a trust that we value immensely. We will always be open, honest, and unbiased, and we never feel the need to find defects that do not exist, or exaggerate a small and common concern into a major cause of alarm, just to justify our inspection services. We are committed to educating our clients on the proper home operation and maintenance, and will discuss the inspection findings in detail before leaving the inspection site. The inspection report and related pictures are printed on site, so there are no delays.

Testimonials From Clients

“Scott,

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the pre-inspection that you did on my personal home, I didn't realize the value of this service until I used it for myself. I staged my home and did the pre-inspection and priced it at the absolute top of the market, you can imagine my surprise when I received a full price offer within 2 days (and I'm talking August of 07) the market wasn't exactly blistering. The best part about this story is that the buyers had an inspection contingency, but once they saw that I had done a pre-inspection they just looked at it and came to the conclusion that they didn't want to spend the money on another inspection. Scott, I would highly recommend this service to anyone that truly wants to sell their home in this current market (or any market for that matter). It saved us time and headaches and money! Great job and thank you!”

“Scott was wonderful! His flexibility with scheduling, his prompt and complete inspection as well as his willingness to answer my and the buyer's questions are just a few examples of why I and most of my office try to come to Pillar To Post with almost all my clients.”
