Pillar to Post Home Inspections

Dan earned a one star rating only because he did show professionalism in his interaction with us during our home inspection. The package included a nice binder and a well organized report presentation with nice images. That is where the good ends. Dan missed or purposely omitted reporting a very important and obvious problem area on our roof during his inspection that will cost us thousands of dollars to repair. The images in his report showed the good areas of the roof with no mention or photo evidence of the problem areas. If we would have had this important information, our approach to the negotiation table would have been completely different. Our priority of home repairs would have been different as well. This would have potentially prevented us from spending more money caused by worsening water damage and the stress and headache of mold testing. We presented the issue to him and he responded by saying he performed a very thorough inspection and there was no evidence of problems at time of inspection. I then provided him with the photo evidence of what he missed or omitted from his report and have yet to hear back. He obviously does not stand behind his work which is evident by his lack of response. In his own words he performed a very thorough inspection and somehow he did not see this problem that will cost us dearly. I would rather he presented a thorough and accurate report on a dirty napkin than a inadequate report in a fancy binder. I would NOT recommend Dan as he does not have the skills or expertise to catch roof issues that could potentially cost you lots of money.

Dan Gregorio was viewed having several alcohol beverages at Que Pasa Mexican Restaurant and while I was temporarily stopped along the curb of the plaza, he backed out and came within just a few inches of hitting my vehicle. I honked, he then rolled down his window and proceed to yell profanities in my direction with my fiancé and 9 month old daughter in the car. When I asked if he had been drinking, he screamed no with further profanities. I wouldn’t trust this man behind the wheel of a vehicle let alone inspecting a home to purchase for my family to live in!

We have purchased a number of properties in New England and as a Pest Control Professional for the last 4o years, I have been on 1000’s of pre purchase inspections and have seen it all when it comes to Home Inspectors. We are purchasing a home here in St Petersburg and selected Dan Gregorio of Pillar to Post Home Inspections to perform our pre purchase inspection. Dan showed up early, had set up his equipment, had all the proper tools (including most importantly a good flashlight). Professional introductions were made and we quickly made a positive connection. There was no problem with our asking questions during the inspection and we feel a very thorough inspection was performed. The wrap up was done so that everything was clear to us and we were left with a professional binder and necessary paper work that will now become part of our new homes history. Our inspection & wind mitigation reports (with photos) were securely emailed to us that same evening. With all of the different needs for inspections here in Florida like wind mitigation, flood zones, mold & moisture issues, structural requirements and even the different insects we felt we needed a proper inspection and glad we selected Dan Gregorio. I feel very comfortable referring Dan for your Home Inspection requirements.
