It's Not Rocket Science, but New Franchisee's Experience Comes in Handy as He Joins Pillar To Post Home Inspectors®

(HOUSTON, TX) --It’s certainly not the best time to be penny-wise and pound-foolish. Simple math quickly demonstrates that a home inspection is money well-spent when making what is typically the largest single investment most people will ever make. “That’s one piece of advice that’s hard to argue,” says David Veatch, the new owner of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, serving the Greater Houston area, including Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery, San Jacinto and Walker counties. “No one needs surprises with what they are spending to buy a home in today’s market.”

And as far as choosing home inspection as a new career, these are industry facts: The U.S. building inspector industry, measured by revenue, is estimated to have a current market size of $4.9 billion according to global research firm IBISWorld.

Launching operations in April, the 59-year-old Veatch – a Friendswood, Texas resident – is a perfect example of someone with the knowledge and passion that provide the perfect combination for success as a Pillar To Post Home Inspectors franchise owner.

Prior to joining Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, Veatch spent 30 years in sales, selling white metal components in the oil and gas, petrochemical, energy and aerospace markets, both domestic and foreign. “I was involved with some major projects throughout my career, representing millions of dollars in sales,” Veatch said. One of my most memorable experiences was selling fittings to NASA for its ‘Return to Flight’ project [the space shuttle mission in 2005 following the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster]. Those experiences will help in selling our business.”

Though highly successful in his previous career, Veatch was ready for a change, but he certainly wasn’t ready to retire. “I’m a military veteran and like being busy,” Veatch said. “I have traveled to more than 32 countries, but Texas is the best place on Earth.”

Veatch said the franchise professionals at Pillar To Post Home Inspectors helped him realize what he was looking for in a new career that would best fit his needs and wants. “I was tired of traveling and saw some major changes during the COVID-19 outbreak,” Veatch said. “Getting involved in a service industry and being able to work closely from home sounded sweeter and sweeter!”

One of the many reasons Veatch chose Pillar To Post Home Inspectors is the innovative technologies the company introduced in the past 18 months. These advanced technologies, along with the business model, provide an exceptional home inspection with unique and innovative features that are all delivered within a seamless brand experience. All developed pre-pandemic and ready to be utilized when the pandemic struck, the new features further highlight Pillar To Post Home Inspectors’ standing as a visionary in its industry. The package is now known as the Ultimate Home Inspection and it’s revolutionizing the home inspection industry. So much so that the company was just awarded the much-coveted Best Innovators by Franchise Update Media in the category of “best customer service tools.”

PTP360 is available with every home inspection and provides an interactive, 360-degree visual inspection summary that brings the inspection report to life and includes every room and a home’s exterior. It can be accessed anywhere, anytime from any device and shared with family or contractors.

PTPEstimates provides a cost estimate for inspection summary items. This upgrade is extremely useful for sellers who do a pre-listing inspection, letting them learn what recommended repairs will cost based on prices charged in their area. Estimates can be requested with one click.

PTPFloorPlan provides an accurate floor plan of the entire home. This useful upgrade can be used to determine furniture fit and placement, and also provide exact dimensions to contractors for estimating purposes.

PTPHomeManual is an upgraded service that provides a digital owner’s manual for a home, letting users download manuals/warranty information, find safety recalls on appliances, learn the age and useful remaining life of systems and much more.

“The number of homes being built in my territory is staggering and people need help understanding their homes before they move in,” said Veatch, who added that his two sons have expressed interest in working alongside him. “Knowledge in such a highly regulated industry such as real estate is important, and coupled with several layers of value-added services, Pillar To Post Home Inspectors provides a valuable tool for both homebuyers and sellers.”
