| Pillar to Post Angel Calle Bad Inspection Company and Service Miami, Florida |

| What do you expect from an inspection company when you are going to buy a house? Well, I will try to summary the story I’m about to tell. It was my experience that started with questions but then became complaints and everything that I say here is my opinion and the full true of a customer. That doesn’t compromise the entire company and their employees, but that inspection day wasn’t my best day for it. People don’t fall into inspection companies like Pillar to Post (Inspector Angel Calle in the Miami-Dade area) that pretend look meticulously every corner of your house and give a very nice report that basically it is designed by attorneys in order to safeguard themselves if any mistake is made like overlooking a damage, defective or by issuing misleading opinions that can result in lies and at the end you ended paying for their mistakes and you can’t get them for that. My advice, be sure they are insured, be there with someone (witness), video record the inspection and explanation of the report (proof). Ask as many questions necessary bother a lot and request the explanations, but more important they aren’t roofers; hire one for that inspection. When I purchase my property my main concerns were the roof, drain, sewer, water pipes, A/C unit and the external walls structure. There were some minor cracks on the walls among other things, some minor, some visible but my main one a ceiling stain in the garage roof. After the inspection was done I asked about it and I was told that in the garage attic were some gas tanks stored and that apparently they have spilled causing the stain. The stain was clear and not dry as he claimed, gas doesn’t create mold, it evaporates but let’s assume it wasn’t water or gasoline, let’s think it was orange juice, but he verbal statement was that the roof was ok. All this was in front of the realtor, we look each other and because I was able to see from the floor the gas tanks we honestly I believed him, it sounded logical. Despite the explanation I asked again if that wasn’t a leak from the roof he remarked aging that the roof is ok and that there weren’t any mayor problem to discuss at the day of the closing. After some days, I started discovering things that were explained differently in the report but most of those minor ones. Until a relative that has some experience looked at the stain in the garage ceiling and said that is a life leak. We went to the attic and I was shown the trail of mold built in the main ceiling roof. So I called a roofer and corroborated the leak. Obviously I contacted Pillar to Post via phone and email and tried to speak with Angel Calle to ask about it, instead I got an email from him. Sometime you need to speak and hear the reasons and facts. It looks that they don’t like it much when people ask to be contact but the problem wasn’t the contact via email but the content of it. For that reason my questions became complaints and by discovering other overlooked things I try harder but amazingly I received a certify letter basically telling me, DON’T TRY AGAIN TO CONTACT ME OR MY STAFF BECAUSE THE REPORT WAS GOOD FOR ONLY 30 DAYS, I WILL CONSIDER HARRASMENT IF YOU DO SO. What kind of company let one of their employees do that!!!! People when you get a report, look for these keywords and that will tell you that if in fact it is damage and it was overlooked, for sure the company will not be liable for it. You may see these in a report, CONSULT AN EXPERT, IT MAY, IT COULD NOT BE INSPECTED, TEST, OR CHECK. Hire someone that will tell you IT IS DAMAGE or IT IS NOT, not MAYBES in between like Pillar to Post. I hope this may help some else. |
