Local husband and wife team opens new home inspection business
Anyone who has ever purchased a home can tell you that the investment is one of the biggest you will ever make. That’s why it’s crucial, as a buyer, to determine the condition of the house from foundation to roofbefore signing on the dotted line. Hiring a home inspector prior to the purchase ensures that any problems in the existing residence aren’t discovered once it’s too late, potentially saving unsuspecting buyers from spending thousands of dollars after the sale of the home.
Many local buyers and sellers alike are turning to Pillar To Post Professional Home Inspection, North America’s leading home inspection company. Herndon residents Eric Boll and his wife, Beth Riddick, are the entrepreneurs behind Herndon’s new Pillar To Post. The business opened earlier this month and services Fairfax, Arlington and Loudoun counties, as well as Alexandria and Fall Church.
Before joining the franchise, Boll served as an electronics engineer for 30 years before getting laid off last May. At 54 years old, it would have been easy for Boll to use the opportunity to simply cash in and retire. However, not ready to sit back in his rocking chair quite yet, Eric and Beth decided it was the perfect time for a fresh start. Boll combined his personal passion for construction and home renovation (the couple singlehandedly renovated their own fixer-upper home in 2008) and joined Pillar To Post.
“I’ve always thought about getting involved in the renovation industry and fixing up my own home was the push I needed,” Boll said. “Pillar To Post is a great fit for us. It allows me to work alongside my wife and raise our family in our community. I’m happy to call Herndon my home and I look forward to helping other homeowners say the same with confidence in their purchasing decision.”
Pillar To Post home inspectors, like Boll, are rigorously trained both in the classroom and on-site. Furthermore, all Pillar To Post inspectors must carry Errors and Omissions (E&O) insurance, which protects referring agents from liability.Pillar To Post provides clients with the best service, the most professional inspectors and the most comprehensive inspection report in the industry, which includes inspecting up to 1,600 points on a home as part of a standard inspection.
Founded in 1994, Pillar To Post needed only a decade to become the No. 1 home inspection company in North America. The company currently operates more than 400 locations in 44 states and eight Canadian provinces/ Pillar To Post was founded on a simple premise: that selecting top-quality candidates as franchise owners and providing first-rate home inspection and business operations training supported by ongoing education would grow a unique and successful business for all involved. As a result, many original Pillar To Post franchisees still remain with the company today. For more information, please visit www.pillartopost.com.
