Pillar To Post
About us
Since the spring of 2005 I have been providing thorough and detailed home inspection services to the Denver Metro Area. I am an ASHI Certified Inspector (#245309) and an EDI Certified EIFS/Stucco Inspector (#CO-57) and fully insured. My service area is very broad as I have inspected homes in Breckenridge all the way to Flagler - from Ft. Lupton to Fountain. Pretty much wherever you need an inspection performed, I will do what it takes to make it happen! Since starting in 2005, we have earned the trust of buyers, sellers and real estate professionals and have grown into one of the largest and most respected full service inspection companies in the area offering professional home inspections, commercial inspections, radon testing, mold testing (air and swab), mold clearance letters, home energy surveys, environmental reports, and water quality testing. The purchase of a home is, for most of us, the largest and most important decision we will make in our lifetime. It is vital to make your decision based on non-biased and accurate information obtained through an in-depth inspection of all major systems and components of the property you are considering purchasing prior to the actual purchase. It is imperative that the inspector you use has a solid knowledge of components and systems that make up both residential and commercial properties. It is also important that an inspector is honest and open, communicates effectively and can offer recommendations based on what he may find during his inspection. A good inspector will give you the tools and information you need to make the right decision. My objective as an inspector is to have you walk away from the inspection knowing the strong and weak points of the property, being aware of exactly what it is that you are about to buy with no last-minute surprises. I use state-of-the-art equipment including moisture meters, temperature sensors and carbon monoxide and gas detectors. The report I will provide you with, which is delivered on site, contains detailed photographs of problems, covers nearly 1600 items, and gives you the knowledge that you need to make a fully informed decision. I encourage you to attend the inspection with me for a few reasons; it's important to me that you are confident that you are getting the best home inspection money can buy and you FEEL comfortable with possibly heading back to the bargaining table with the tools for a successful home purchase. It is also very important to me that you see and completely understand the mechanics behind your home, the good and the bad. You will come to learn more about the house that you are thinking of purchasing than you might with someone less experienced, at a lesser price, in the hurry-up home inspections that some of my competitors offer. Please call anytime with your questions or to set up an appointment for an inspection. I look forward to working with you to make your home purchase very successful and problem-free!

"[removed member name] I have been unable to confirm that I was indeed the person you hired for this inspection. I have no record of your name or address in my files - perhaps it was your husband or significant other? Please check and make sure it was not another Pillar To Post franchise owner that you hired. Assuming it was me that you hired, I apologize for meeting your expectations for the report turnaround time. Even though this is clearly articulated when I am hired, many people expect an EIFS report to be completed like a home inspection (at the inspection in the case of Pillar To Post) EIFS inspections are technically exhaustive and usually have a 48 hour turnaround time. Thank you for your feedback however and if we have the privilege of working with you again, I personally promise to go above and beyond!

"[removed member name] Thank you for your recent feedback. I believe you may be mistaken however as I (Thomas Recke with Pillar To Post Aurora) performed your EIFS/Stucco inspection only on Monday December 10th, 2012 at 2pm and the general home inspection was performed by Ken Peter (who owns Pillar to Post Longmont) at that same time. Aside from that bit of confusion, I was personally engaged for the EIFS/Stucco (exterior) inspection ONLY and cannot account for what was inspected inside the property. Sump pumps are an integral system and are included in all the inspections I perform so it definitely should have been checked. I would recommend contacting Ken Peter if you would like to discuss this further with the gentleman that inspected your house. In the meantime, if there is anything I can do to be of further service to your family, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do what I can.

"Hi [member name removed], I am sorry you had a negative experience. I believe there may have been a bit of confusion in understanding the mold test results/report. I have here the report generated from an ERMI (Environmental Relative Moldiness Index) test performed on 06SEPT2012, the analysis was conducted on the 09SEPT2012 and the report generated on 10SEPT2012 (EMSL is the lab that I use and their unique report number is #371214067 for this case). I still have the ERMI report if you would like another copy of it. Verbatim, from the ERMI report, “ERMI Value > -4 to 0 (Level 2) and > 0 to ≤ 5 (Level 3), Moderate Relative Moldiness. Further investigation needed to determine if sources of mold exists.” Your property rated an ERMI value of “-2.1” which, following the guideline above, indicates a “Moderate Relative Moldiness” and warrants, as spelled out in the report, “Further investigation needed if sources of mold exist.” My question to you is did you reference this report when you consulted with a specialist as I had recommended? Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions or need further clarification. I appreciate the opportunity to assist you further.
