Doug Steinmetz, a seasoned leader with three decades of experience in project management, healthcare, and security operations within the U.S. Navy and government contracting, has joined the Pillar To Post Home Inspector™ family. Steinmetz is just one of many Veterans who join this growing system each year to become part of the booming home improvement segment. His new business serves Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach Virginia. Steinmetz Home Inspections aims to bring trusted, thorough home inspection services to homebuyers and sellers across this vibrant region.

With a background grounded in operational discipline, risk assessment, and client-focused communication, Steinmetz is uniquely positioned to lead this business. “Owning a franchise allows me to apply my skills in project management and leadership to a business that directly helps people during one of the most important decisions they make: buying a home,” said Steinmetz.

“Pillar To Post’s commitment to professionalism, advanced technology, and customer trust aligns perfectly with my values and experience. What stood out was their reputation for professionalism, support, and systems that empower veterans and leaders like me to thrive as business owners. The franchise model aligns perfectly with my background—structured operations, a clear mission, and a commitment to excellence. But more than that, Pillar To Post gave me a way to transition my skills into a business that helps people every day, providing peace of mind during one of the biggest decisions of their lives: buying a home,” Steinmetz shared.

“I saw a clear bridge between what I’ve done— leading assessments, managing risk, delivering accurate, actionable information—and what Pillar To Post represents. It’s not just inspections, it’s trust, clarity, and service. That mission inspired me to make the leap, and I haven’t looked back.”

Steinmetz Home Inspections offers The Ultimate Home Inspection™, a comprehensive service that includes detailed evaluations supported by digital reporting and photos. The business leverages innovative technology introduced by Pillar To Post including contactless inspections and client portals, ensuring safety and convenience in today’s market. These innovations not only enhance the inspection process but also connect customers with local vendors for repair and maintenance, providing unmatched value.

“After serving 24 years in the U.S. Navy and completing multiple deployments, I reached a point where I wanted to create something lasting for my family. Business ownership offered the opportunity not only to spend more meaningful time with my wife and son, but also to build a legacy we could share. My goal is to establish a business where my son and I can work together, and more importantly, one that imparts the values of entrepreneurship, independence, and selfreliance. Whether or not he chooses to take over the business in the future, he will gain a foundation in what it means to lead, build, and grow something of your own,” said Steinmetz.

The Hampton Roads franchise is part of a growing trend of veterans and professionals transitioning to entrepreneurship through Pillar To Post’s proven systems and support. Steinmetz’s venture reflects a broader movement toward transparency and education in real estate, empowering buyers with clear, actionable information.
