As the housing market continues to improve, the need for home inspectors is stronger than ever. In fact, according to a recent survey conducted by the American Society of Home Inspectors, 88 percent of all homeowners believe that home inspections are a necessity prior to purchasing a home, not a luxury. These findings suggest that home inspection companies such as Pillar To Post are positioned for continued growth and increased demand.

Founded in 1994, Pillar To Post is now the largest home inspection company in North America, located in 45 states and 8 Canadian provinces, with over 400 franchisees. The company expects to more than double that number in 2012; long-term plans include adding 500-600 new franchisees over the next five years.
