About Pillar To Post Home Inspectors

About Pillar To Post Inspector

In 1994, Pillar To Post began franchising. Emphasizing integrity and professionalism, we created a variety of tools to ensure that every home inspection would fit a strict standard of excellence, including:

  • Formal technical training
  • Detailed inspection practices and standards
  • Complete business start-up plan
  • Full operations program
  • Formatted inspection report

Not only do these tools keep our home inspection thorough, they also give franchise owners what they need to build real businesses. Within just 6 years, Pillar To Post was the largest home inspection franchise in North America and we hold that status to this day.

  • Brand Conference: Annual conference that allows business owners to connect with each other, hear about future innovations, strategies, collaborate in sessions, and become certified in courses
