Alan Carney of Pillar to Post is a trusted professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends and family seeking home inspections.
I contacted Alan earlier this week to inspect the roof on my 20 year old home in North Falmouth. He showed up a few hours later and using his drone technology was able to tell me what type of roof I had, its condition and most importantly that it'd be good for another 10 years. Alan provided me a report and pictures I can use for insurance purposes. He was a pleasure to interact with and his services were very reasonably priced. I urge anyone who is told they need a new roof to contact Alan first and have him inspect your roof, you could find like me your roof will last years longer than you may have thought.
Alan was extremely thorough and provided us with detailed information throughout the inspection. His report was equally detailed. More importantly, he followed up with us days later to see if we had any questions. We highly recommend Alan to anybody in need of a home inspector.
Alan was professional, efficient and thorough. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great home inspector.
Alan is top notch! I’ve never encountered such a detailed inspection while using the latest technology. Additionally Alan ensures that you understand the key areas of the inspection and if there are any potential risks with a property.
