Pillar To Post Home Inspectors Arthur Staffiere

One word does most of the work in this inspector's reviews: thorough. It shows up in nearly all 40 write-ups on file, from a 2021 buyer who noted he "did not rush through the job" to a January 2026 client who watched him walk the full perimeter on a snowy day, test appliances, run the plumbing, check outlets, and change footwear moving between outside and in. Arthur Staffiere runs an independently owned Pillar To Post office out of Arlington. BBB lists it as an LLC — alternate name Staf Inspections LLC — with one employee, started in 2015, and grades it A+. Beyond the standard inspection he offers radon, mold and spore, water quality and wood-destroying-organism testing, and his site states he covers Suffolk, Essex and Middlesex counties. The Google record is 4.9 across 137 ratings, and it is still moving: five reviews in the last six months, none negative. Two themes recur past the thoroughness. He explains as he goes — a 2026 buyer said he graded findings into fix-now versus punch-list items — and the report lands fast: a November 2024 customer had the full write-up emailed within a few hours of the inspection, and a 2023 client described the same turnaround, with photos. Speed extends to booking, too. A realtor writing in December 2024 got a client in within two days; another, in May 2024, said he met her at the house and finished a complete inspection before that afternoon's offer deadline. The one dissenting account is worth reading before you book. In an October 2024 one-star review, a buyer wrote that he "charged more than his competitors," didn't check whether the appliances worked, and missed pests that later cost them an exterminator — while still crediting him with flagging several important things. It stands alone against a wall of praise, and other customers describe the price differently: a September 2025 reviewer called him "affordable." Still, it points at a concrete question — ask up front exactly what the inspection covers, whether appliances are operated, and what the added testing costs. The fit here is a buyer who wants an inspector who narrates the house while walking it, and who needs the written report in hand quickly enough to negotiate. Confirm the scope, the fee for your square footage, and whether you want radon or water testing added, then check his calendar early — the timeline compliments suggest he books up.
