In October of 2000, Mike and Tami Ward-Dahl purchased the Pillar To Post franchise territory encompassing the western half of Fairfax County Virginia. Since then they have earned the trust of buyers, sellers and real estate professionals, and grown their business into a well liked and highly respected professional home inspection company. We serve the cities and areas of Fairfax County, Vienna, Great Falls, Herndon, Oakton, Oak Hill, Fairfax, Centreville, Chantilly, Clifton, Burke, Annandale, Reston and McLean,  

 We inspect all types of homes, from older historic homes, condos, townhomes, to the new luxury homes, and everything in between. We also can have the home tested for radon. 

Why get a home inspection: Buying a home is one of the most significant decisions and biggest investments you will ever make. A professional home inspection will enable you to learn a great deal about a home, help give you peace of mind and answer some important questions. Whether you are buying or selling, you will have the benefit of knowing the ins and outs of a particular home.

Professional Training and Certification: Every Pillar To Post home inspector is trained in the classroom as well as on site. You can have confidence in the fact that all Pillar To Post inspectors are required to continually upgrade their skills and to keep current with new technologies and professional standards. We are Virginia State Certified Inspectors and members of ASHI and NAHI associations.

Inspection Report is printed out at the time of inspection and made available via the internet: There's no need to wait for the information to be compiled and sent to you at a later date; the full, informative report will be printed and delivered to you before we leave the inspection. It may also include digital photos of relevant issues. For your convenience and that of your real estate professionals, the report can also be viewed via secure website or e-mail copy.

For the Homebuyer: You will gain an education of the home, top to bottom, so that you will know exactly what you are buying. Upon completion of the thorough inspection of your future home, our inspector will provide you with a comprehensive computer generated evaluation of the (up to 1,600) items visually checked during the inspection. This will include items that have been found or that you may have noticed prior to the inspection. This information will help you to buy with confidence knowing that a true professional has carefully evaluated and inspected your future home.

For the Home Seller: For sellers, a pre-listing inspection can detect previously unknown problems or potential upgrades that you wish to address prior to selling your home. Being aware of issues in advance will allow for disclosure of problems, which can result in smoother transactions for all parties.

For the Real Estate Professional: You can recommend Pillar To Post to your clients with confidence knowing that we offer professionalism and service that out performs our competition. We are E&O and General Liability insured, and this insurance covers your client and you as the referring party. Our inspectors are clean, respectful, and honest in the way they perform the inspection and work with clients.

We want you to attend the inspection: There is no substitute for the being at the inspection. The report we provide is only a part of the inspection. When you attend the inspection, see what we do, ask questions, and become more familiar with your home, you'll gain greater comfort and confidence in your buying decision. Pillar To Post encourages all customers to attend the inspection, and bring anyone they choose. We'll go through the home with you, explaining everything in detail, answering all of your questions, and making sure you understand each item!
