More from 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.
