Welcome to Pillar To Post of Central Oregon, providing home inspections in the communities of Bend, Redmond, Sisters, Madras, Prineville, Sunriver, La Pine, Klamath Falls and surrounding areas.
The Most Important Thing
The Oregon State Property Buyer Advisory begins with this advice, “Obtaining a professional home inspection is the single most important thing a buyer can do for their protection.” Why? Because hidden problems in the foundation, plumbing, electrical system and other critical areas can cost thousands of dollars to correct and can drastically affect the value of a home. For most buyers, a professional inspection is the only practical way of determining the true condition of a home prior to purchase. Choosing a qualified home inspection company like Pillar To Post is one of the most critical decisions you’ll make in the home buying process.
Not All Home Inspectors Are The Same . . . Demand The Best!
A professional home inspection is, or at least should be, a highly skilled, detective-like examination, from rooftop to foundation, for subtle clues to hidden problems. The more skilled the inspector, the more trustworthy the results. Like any profession, skill levels vary widely between home inspectors and you tend to get what you pay for. The best home inspectors have spent years in study and possess the first hand experience gained from personally inspecting thousands of homes. You will be making one of the largest financial decisions of your life based largely on the individual skill of your home inspector. With so much at stake, you want the best inspector, not the cheapest. Just as you would not make a large stock purchase on the advice of a novice, so you should avoid the novice or part-time home inspector offering cheap prices, discount coupons and other marketing gimmicks – just ask any homebuyer that “saved” a hundred dollars on a home inspection only to discover thousands of dollars in missed rot, termite damage, or electrical problems after moving in. With Pillar To Post, you only get experienced, highly trained, full-time home inspectors who have an extensive first-hand knowledge of Central Oregon homes. It’s your investment . . . accept nothing less.

Hear What Our Clients Have To Say . . .
"As new residents of Bend, and in the process of purchasing a second home, our realtor suggested we contact Alan Keyes of Pillar To Post, a certified home inspector. Though our home had been occupied for six years by the original owner, and was of exceptional construction and had been well cared for, Alan and his team found some problems which needed to be addressed. Once the problems were corrected, he did a follow-up inspection to make certain the proper repairs were made. The thoroughness of his work and the bound inspection report given to us, made for real sense of confidence and security in our purchase. We highly recommend Alan and Pillar To Post for their knowledge, attention to detail, and professionalism.”

“Thank you so much for the great inspection you provided us. We found you to be extremely professional, personable, reliable, and easy to communicate with. The report binder that you presented us was invaluable; the arrangement of the materials was easy to understand and access; and the "little extras" you provided in it were great! The pictures in it made it easy to see what was wrong so we could easily present it to our builder. It was obvious that you took the time to be very thorough while inspecting. We feel confident that you gave us a complete assessment of our home. Thanks, too, for presenting the report to us in such a timely manner; we received it mere hours after you completed the inspection. We really appreciated this high quality of home inspection. We will happily recommend you to anyone who is buying a home.”
Best wishes, Genelle & James Brunner
