(Calhoun, GA)-- "One piece of advice I know I can give," said Kendall Pickens, the new owner of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, "is don't skip your home inspection, no matter what, in this hot sellers' market,' the Gordon County resident said. The post-horror stories of skipping a home inspection are coming out daily. So many that Pillar To Post has been encouraging "post buy" inspections with great tips on how and why buyers need them.
Counties to be served for any home inspections include Dade, Walker, Catoosa, Whitfield, Murray, Chattooga, Floyd, Gordon, Bartow, Polk, Haralson, Carroll, and Heard.
The U.S. building inspector industry, measured by revenue, is estimated to have a market size of $4.9 billion in 2022, according to global research firm IBISWorld.
Pickens' background includes a broad range of experience, including industrial and residential electrical installation, home renovation, computer and networking specialist, and home security systems installation. He holds two degrees and multiple certifications, as well as several recognitions within the home inspection industry, including the National Home Inspection Exam certification (NHIE), American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), trained in the American Home Inspection Training (AHIT) method, and is a background verified inspector. He hopes to eventually evolve his Pillar To Post business into a family one. Kendall is married to his wife Kendra, and they have four children.
One of the many reasons Pickens chose Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, which is the largest home inspection company in North America, is the innovative technologies the company recently introduced. 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. They include:
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, at any time, from any device. It can also be 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.
An admitted outdoors enthusiast, Pickens offers this insight to himself. "I am always willing to do what is necessary to get the job done correctly. I have coached youth sports for over ten years, which I absolutely enjoy, and I have also played at the collegiate level. I have always strived to be a leader in my career and continually work to improve processes in order to have more efficient workflows and improve outcomes. I look forward to incorporating this experience within the home inspection industry. I enjoy volunteering in the community and attending charitable events. I am excited to do more as a Pillar To Post local business owner for my community and surrounding counties."
