Pillar To Post Home Inspectors - Matt Deveaux is a Waltham-based home inspector, and the word that comes up again and again in his reviews is "thorough." People hire him ahead of a home purchase, and real estate agents are frequently the ones sending clients his way. The write-ups describe a room-by-room walkthrough with real-time explanation rather than a checklist handed over at the end — buyers mention him catching a flaw others missed and saving them money down the line, and in one review he brought a drone to get a clear look at a roof that would otherwise be hard to reach. It isn't a one-time relationship for a lot of these buyers and their agents either: several reviewers describe using him a second time or calling him their inspector of choice for years running. Across 58 Google reviews from 2021 to today, the pattern holds steady rather than clustering around one good stretch. One reviewer also called him pricier than similar services, though said the detail in the reports made it worth it. The one sharp exception in the file is a single 1★ review describing him as rude and accusing him of responding to his own mistake with dishonesty instead of owning it — worth knowing about even as a lone outlier against dozens of good experiences. He's a fit for buyers who want a slow, explain-as-you-go walkthrough rather than a rushed checklist — worth confirming turnaround on the written report, since only a few reviews mention getting it the same day.
Very pleased with Matt at Pillar to Post. He was responsive to my last minute request and was extremely professional and thorough. Also very pleasant. Would highly recommend his services.
Highly recommend! He was professional, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to investigate even the smallest concerns and explained everything clearly. His attention to detail gave me great confidence in the inspection.
My new go-to for home inspections! Thank you Matt for the help and all of the thorough explanation through out. Will be recommending you to any agent and buyer moving forward!
Incredibly rude man. He made an error and rather than admitting came up with a web of lies and then insulted me. Do not recommend
Matt is one of the best home inspectors I have ever worked with! Decades of experience along with a wealth of knowledge. He greatly surpasses the typical "home inspection" offering insight for home improvements and recommendations. Some clients ask for estimates on what a repair/replacement might cost them and he always can advise and convey great information. I highly recommend Matt Deveaux at Pillar To Post!
