Home Inspections When You Need Them

When you need a home inspection, you want to be able to book it right away. That’s why Pillar To Post always makes scheduling our home inspections easy and convenient. You can choose the option that’s best for you:

  • Give me a call
  • Send an email
  • Visit my website

The Pillar To Post home inspection report, complete with photos, is generated the same day as the inspection, so there’s no waiting. This helps keep the transaction moving and can mean faster closings.

If your client has already completed the purchase, a home inspection is an excellent way for them to learn more about the place they’ll call home. We also provide pre-listing inspections, which enable sellers to identify repairs or upgrades they may wish to make prior to selling their home. Added services such as radon inspections, air quality sampling, mold testing and more can also be provided in conjunction with the home inspection.

It’s easy – request your next inspection today and discover the Pillar To Post difference.

Your basement doesn’t have to be the dark and dreary spot in your home anymore.

Low ceilings, limited light and general dreariness can make the basement a hard spot to hang out in. Here are a few ways to brighten things up in what is often a dark and cramped looking space:

  1. Fresh Coat - Paint the walls a light shade and ceilings even lighter to give the illusion of height.
  2. Lighten Up - Use various lighting sources layered at different heights including wall sconces and lamps to brighten things up.
  3. Mirror Mirror - Place mirrors across from your basement windows in order to maximize the effect of natural light.
  4. Floored - Don’t break up the basement by choosing continuous flooring so that the space will appear larger.

These are just a few ways to transform your basement from dark and dreary to bright and beautiful. All it takes are just a few simple adjustments and before you know it, your basement will become one of your most popular hangouts!

Shutters inside the home can be warm, beautiful and functional.

Interior shutters can be used inside a window in place of blinds. These offer both privacy and shade. In fact, some interior window shutters can help you save money on your energy bills.

Interior shutters are available in either wood or vinyl. Experts say that vinyl is better for those desiring a painted look while wood is best for customers that want a stained look. Vinyl shutters are available in a variety of colors, but white is the most popular. Shutters are available in stock sizes or custom sizes.

Shutters can be used in other areas beside windows, such as on louver doors separating rooms within the house. This allows a certain level of privacy without completely shutting off the room. It also offers a unique decorating opportunity.

Interior shutters offer many advantages, including privacy, shade, and décor. For a unique and classy window cover or room divider, consider installing interior shutters.

Streamline your wardrobe and stay organized all year long.

  1. Empty. Remove the contents of your closet. Lay clothing on your bed and arrange shoes and accessories on the floor.
  2. Evaluate. Start with clothes. If not worn in over a year, you probably will not miss it if you give it away. If you wear it regularly, hang it back in the closet.
  3. Eliminate. Collect unwanted but wearable garments in a bag and donate to charity.
  4. Establish order. Hang like items together in the closet. Affix closet door hooks to hang accessories. Arrange shoes on a shoe rack.
