Home Inspector reviews in Raleigh, North Carolina

So I had Pillar to Post do my home inspection because my realtor suggested them. First I was told not to come to the inspection because of covid but after insisting I was told I could come. Throughout the inspection, the inspector and my realtor chit chatted. I got the report and there were only minor issues noted. Once I moved into the home things got crazy. The refrigerator was missing 2 shelves, 3 door shelves were broken, and I was missing shelves in the freezer. The dishwasher soap dispenser was broken. The dryer vent was so crimped it was basically blocked. The washing machine was full of mold - between the drums and the water pump was basically not connected. The upstairs thermostat did not work and upon further inspection the gas line to the furnace had been turned off. Once it was turned on the damper motors were found to be broken and the bypass for the dampers had been improperly installed. The dormer windows upstairs had been leaking and damaged a ceiling. So basically, almost every major appliance was a disaster and the roof needed repair. All of these items were not found on inspection. I would definitely not recommend Pillar to Post the Beal team as your inspectors because none of these issues were found. They found that a light bulb was burned out in the kitchen cupboard and that the pantry door was missing a latch. If you want a thorough inspection do NOT use them! I have been continuously have contractors in my home to do all of these repairs! BEWARE!

I am writing this as I feel I have no other recourse. I'll start with the background. Alan is a nice person and very respectful. We were asked to wait to come to the inspection until he had 2 hours on site to walk thru. There were numerous things missed and found after closing resulting in thousands of dollars in needed repairs mainly from water damage. I would not recommend Mr. Beal or Pillar to Post.

Thank you do much for your detailed inspection. If I ever have the opportunity to recommend an professional inspector I'll choose you!! Happy summer!!

We are very pleased with the home inspection provided by Alan Beal. He was very thorough and explained all aspects of the home inspection in detail. We would highly recommend Pillar to Post to friends and other for a home inspection.

I've used Alan and the team several times over the years for home inspections and have always been very pleased. Most recently, Alan is working on inspecting our new home while under construction.

Highly recommend.

Alan completed our home inspection and provided a report later that day. He was extremely thorough and provided helpful feedback for us to share with our builder. He provided a written report with pictures and pinpointed each issue with pictorial evidence. We were extremely pleased with his inspection and feel very confident that our home was well built.

Well, I was pleasantly surprised when your service was recommended to me, and everything seemed to fall in place. It seemed to be a seamless transaction. The inspector was very thorough and helpful. I appreciate his knowledge and insight. Some of the things he noticed were very helpful when I had to talk to the builder. I am very happy with the service I received.

Alan was fantastic. He was thorough and found some major electrical issues that he explored. He also provided insight on things I should ask the builder to address. He was patient and answered a lot of my questions. I'm grateful for his expertise.

Alan Beal came to me highly recommended. He did an excellent and thorough job inspecting my newly constructed home. Alan was extremely knowledgeable and educated me along the way.

Alan Beal, a fantastic professional. Very informative, great assistance where referrals were needed. Quite responsive and available. All the boxes checked of a great service company. Hard to find these days. You will not be disappointed to use Pillar To Post/Alan Beal.

Our home inspection with Alan was extremely thorough and Alan made sure to alert us to each area of concern and take the time to point out areas we should be aware of in the future. It is clear Alan is passionate about his work and it comes through in the level of professionalism and thoroughness of his inspection. I will absolutely be using Alan and his team the next time I need a home inspection!

Easy to reach and helpful with tricky jobs.

He was rude and belligerent towards a young staff member.

John is a very professional house inspector. He was patient to answer our questions with details.

John did some electrical work that no one else could figure out how to do. Everything works great now. I highly recommend John!

He was on time, very professional, patient with me as I followed him and asked questions, and was extremely thorough. I would/will certainly recommend him to my family and friends!

John was very thorough and explained what he was doing in terms that I could understand.I would definitely recommend him to inspect your home.

John and his wife were great for my home inspection. They took the time to walk me through everything and answered my questions thoroughly. I highly recommend!

Here it is just a few days before Christmas and one of the circuit breakers servicing our kitchen has gone bad. Good thing John came to our rescue. He responded promptly and was able to make the fix quickly. We're back up and running and we'll have a great Christmas meal! Thanks, John.

John completed a home inspection for me recently, and he did an excellent job. Fulfilling promises is extremely important to me, so I was pleased with his communication during the process, with him showing up on time and completing the tasks on time, and with getting my report to me on time. As far as the inspection process, John and his colleague were very thorough, provided detailed explanations, and provided a clear report. His price is reasonable, too. I highly recommend John Plyler of Capital Home Inspections for their services.

John did a great job installing two light kits on ceiling fans and fixing a dimmer switch in our dining room. His work is fast, efficient and he kept me informed of what he was doing the whole time. I was very happy with his work!
