Pillar To Post

Tom Recke at Pillar To Post is an outstanding inspector. He worked closely with us to explain everything he found needing to be addressed. He produced a report before he even left the home. He was easy to work with for scheduling as well. He was also very responsive to our questions (both before the inspection and after, as we would go over his report and not always understand everything). Just an all around great company. Highly recommend.

I can’t recommend Tom highly enough. If you are a buyer, he is what you want in a home inspector. Tom showed up early, got set up, and went right to work. This was not a walk-​around, point out a few things, call it a day inspection. He was very methodical, took the full 2 – 3 hours without rushing, and his inspection report gave us all of the detail we needed. He can make sellers nervous and realtors cringe, but that is because his allegiance is only to YOU, THE BUYER. (You know, the person who’s actually paying all that money to buy the house). He made sure we knew everything about the property so you can make an informed decision on the property. Tom was also very responsive and helpful with follow-​up questions that I had. We got the major safety and contract items corrected and have been living in our new home for a few weeks. We’re still very happy with his services. Thanks, Tom!

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!

Tom has inspected our new home when first built and also for warranty purposes. Each time he has been thorough and complete. He did such a great job we recommended him to some family that were also building a new house. I would recommend Tom and Pillar to Post to anyone looking for a great home inspection.

Chris Cox did the inspection on a house we are in the process of buying. I felt very confident with the job done by Chris. He was very thorough and it did not seem that he missed an inch of the house. He also was great in explaining every issue, more than once if needed. He was very professional yet also very kind, in that I felt I could ask him any question without feeling like an idiot! The binder that he provided was full of pictures, explanations, advice and resources for the future. I have already turned to it for information several times. I am very thankful that our agent set us up with Chris and Pillar to Post.

I don’t know if it’s possible to do a better job. I started from square zero and just emailed ‘em. They immediately sent me a reply, then a time, then an online approval link, then they were at the house. Bing bang boom. I wanted a radon test and a sewer scope too, so they lined up the pipe inspector and came out 3 days early to put in the radon test. All to ensure the inspection would be done on time.
When I got to the house, they were already there, and the pipe inspectors were on the roof (I’m still amazed by their ability too, but Mile High Pipe Inspectors is a separate review, as is Apex Plumbing…) They got there early, and stayed late, plus coordinating the sewer scope and subsequent plumbing quote, and a structural engineer too! That’s thorough.
I came away with a binder full of professionally produced pages (56) of both a summary and a full report, two referrals, a bunch of photos illustrating their findings, and a video of sewer pipes (yuck)
Did I mention that these wizards charge no more than any other inspection company? Did I mention my real estate broker wanted to forward the reports/​photos/​videos?
Is there such as thing as being too thorough on a home inspection? I was happy, and the sellers were mad. And I believe that combo makes Pillar to Post unbeatable!

I called Pillar To Post based on Unilocal 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

We chose Tom because of other reviews and he did not disappoint. Very professional, friendly, and explained everything in detail. Not to mention a bit of bonus advice. Worth every penny. Thanks Tom for a job well done and for serving our country!

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.

Tom was extremely thorough and took the time to explain every detail about the house. He was methodical about his process and objective in his evaluation, but was also willing to talk about what each thing meant in terms of severity, very broad ballpark cost to fix, etc. The home I’m buying was built in 1911 and in a very old neighborhood of Denver. Tom knew the things to look for and was clearly an expert in the generations of building code changes, and what things to look for based on when the home was built. I’m grateful that I found Tom, and would highly recommend using him if you’re buying a home.

Being a US Army veteran, Tom was very competent and professional during our condo inspection for one of my buyer clients. He took his time answering our questions and provided us with detailed reports with pictures.
You can shop around for cheaper inspectors but you get what you pay for. I do not recommend going cheap to inspect something that will be the largest investment in your lifetime. Give Tom a call, he will serve you right.

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!

Very professional inspection and presentation of findings. Very personable and takes time to answers all questions. Provided a great printout and emailed copy of findings, presented in a way that is very easy to understand — from big to small, and major to minor issues. Would definitely recommend him for anyone’s inspection needs!

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.

Fantastic home inspection. Very thorough, covered everything. really, really happy with the service. the report was great and saved me a bunch of money.
