Pillar To Post Home Inspectors - Matt Deveaux

Matt Deveaux runs the Pillar To Post home inspection franchise out of Waltham, an independently owned operation covering Suffolk, Essex, and Middlesex Counties. Buyers and their agents hire him for pre-purchase home inspections, with radon and wood-destroying-organism testing available on request. On Google he sits at 5 stars across 130 ratings, built up since 2021 rather than clicked together in a good month. The pattern holding through this year is specific rather than generic: reviewers describe him investigating the smallest concerns instead of moving past them, then walking through what he found in plain language. One client said he flagged repair costs and improvement ideas most inspectors wouldn't bother with; another, inspecting a smaller condo, said he still went room to room checking everything. A repeat customer who's booked him for two different home purchases called his reports accurate and detailed, though pricier than comparable services. The one discordant note sits in May: a reviewer described an inspection error met with excuses rather than an acknowledgment, and called the interaction rude — a sharp break from everything else customers say about him. Worth asking directly how he handles a disputed finding, and pinning down what radon or wood-destroying-organism testing adds to the price, since one repeat client called the service pricier than similar inspectors. For a straightforward home purchase or listing inspection in the western suburbs, the years of repeat bookings make him a reasonable default pick — just get the scope and add-on costs in writing beforehand, and ask directly about that one rough review if it gives you pause.
