Pros

Company car, phone, uniforms, and clients provided.

Cons

Franchise-run (Duggan Team). Was hired on with salary expectation of 75,000-96,000 and never broke 50,000. I was asked to do things against TREC regulations as well as Texas Department of Agriculture regulation violations such as performing an inspection without a signed VIA and forging a WDI Report by either back-dating or lying about being on-site.

Pros

Training and inspection software are second to none. Some tools provided. But that's it for pros.

Cons

Low pay. The offer three distinct packages – Plus, Premium & Prestige. You will start at an approximate rate of 27% of the basic package fee (Plus) regardless of what package level services you provide. Average per inspection you can expect approximately $150/inspection. This year I will be earning less than $35,000/yr. Factor in fuel, insurance, vehicle depreciation and getting potentially injured. Use of your own vehicle. This varies with different franchise locations. I use my own car. I get no mileage reimbursement unless its over an hour away from the office location, not my home location. I do not get access to a company gas card either. I put on over 40,000 miles in one year. Keep in mind the P2P corporation extracts a minimum of 11% of the franchise revenue which of course trickles down to limiting income for inspectors so you can't solely blame the franchise owner for such a depressing pay scale. Two-year non compete agreement.

Thank you for the time you’ve spent as a Residential Home Inspector with one of our independently owned and operated Pillar To Post franchises. We’re glad to hear our training and software tools made a positive impact. These are key parts of how we support inspectors across the network. Because each franchise manages its own compensation, mileage, and benefits, experiences can vary from one location to another. Your feedback offers a window into that variability, and while corporate royalties help provide system-wide tools and resources, we recognize that each role is shaped by local operations. We appreciate your perspective and wish you continued success ahead. Pillar To Post Home Office Team
