Air Force Veteran Brings No. 1 Home Inspection Company to Area

(Colorado Springs, CO)-Everyone has a special reason or motivation behind starting his/her own business, but for 20-year United States Air Force veteran Nathan “Nate” Bardwell, his motivation is particularly close to his heart. That’s why becoming a new franchise owner with Pillar To Post Home Inspectors®, the No. 1 home inspection company in North America, holds special significance for the 41-year-old Colorado Springs resident. Bardwell will serve homebuyers, sellers and agents throughout El Paso, Teller and Pueblo counties.

During his two-decade military career, Bardwell’s specialties were wide-ranging and will serve his new career particularly well. They included Electrical and Environmental Systems Maintenance, Safety and Occupational Health, Environmental Health, Emergency Management and Human Resources Management. He had always wanted to start a small trade business of his own after his Air Force career that would provide a solid income for his family that includes wife, Karisa; daughter, Audrey; and son, Matthew. He also wanted a business that he could pass down to Matthew, particularly. “Matthew is nine years old and is on the Autism spectrum. He is a wizard with mechanical systems and technology, and my hope is that one day he will want to work with Dad and maybe take over the family business if he chooses.”

Bardwell said his Air Force experience will pay immediate dividends in his new career in the home inspection industry. “I have wide technical knowledge of residential systems and components, vast expertise in general safety and risk management, as well as a deep understanding of identifying, evaluating and controlling health hazards from industrial and environmental contaminants,” Bardwell said.

Bardwell’s decision to become a franchise owner comes at an opportune time, because according to Pillar To Post Home Inspectors President and CEO Dan Steward, “We are rolling out some pretty amazing technologies that is now in full swing for all Pillar To Post Home Inspections. One of these is the PTP360 tour. It is also available with a floor plan. It is a great new innovation – fast-tracked to completion for COVID-19 response – where we saw just how well it performed. In the long term, a huge help for busy, professional Realtors; saving time, better serving their seller and giving prospective buyers a far better experience. Buyers can view anytime they wish, stay if they like, share with friends and family, share with contractors to get an estimate and even get a measured floor plan to help with furniture planning, etc. This is a brilliant experience.”

Said Bardwell: “I chose Pillar To Post Home Inspectors because they are the largest home inspection company in North America and are on the leading edge of the home inspection industry. Their company mission, vision and values closely align with my own.”

Pillar To Post Home Inspectors has achieved the highest standings in various rankings of “Best in Category,” “Top 20 Franchises to Buy,” “Top 10 Global Franchises” and “Top Franchises for Veterans” in addition to achieving 5-Star status with VetFran, a program offered by the International Franchise Association that provides discounted franchise fees to veterans. A professional evaluation both inside and outside the home is at the core of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors’ service. Pillar To Post Home Inspectors input data and digital photos into a computerized report. All information is provided to clients in a customized binder for easy reference, allowing homebuyers or sellers to make confident, informed decisions.

Bardwell couldn’t be more enthused – nor better prepared – for this next chapter for himself and his family. “The Air Force instilled in me a strong sense of discipline, integrity, service, excellence and resiliency. I am an excellent communicator and experienced in successfully working with and leading people and teams from all walks of life,” Bardwell said. “I also have a passion for serving my community. All of the strengths I garnered from my Air Force career will help me to be successful in my new home inspection business.”
