Together, we’re now serving ALL the greater Twin Cities and western Wisconsin!
Welcome to Pillar To Post. As part of your community, we are pleased to provide our local customers real estate professionals, home buyers and home sellers with a home inspection service that brings to the buying or selling of a home unmatched quality, precision, integrity, and professionalism.
We call what we do The Moment of Truth. It is the moment when the emotion of buying and selling a home meets the reality of the issues of that home. Our work is to communicate effectively, knowledgeably, efficiently, and openly about the condition of a home. We understand that our customers trust us to inform and educate them about what we see and what we find, and this is a trust we hold in the highest regard.
The Dalchow Team is the inspection team to better serve your Home Inspection needs.

Real estate professionals
For real estate professionals, our work is a commitment to the understanding that their reputation is our responsibility and that a relationship with us reinforces the confidence their clients have in them.
Home buyers
For the home buyer, our work is an objective explanation of the condition of the potential new home to which an emotional tie is already being formed.
Home sellers
For the home seller our work is to honor the home they have lived in, and to report on its condition observed at the time of the inspection.
For all of our customers, Pillar To Post considers the home a place of the heart, as it houses the people that are loved and the memories of lifetimes. This is why we call Pillar To Post The Home of Home Inspection.
Continuing a Legacy of Trusted Home Inspections
The Dalchow Team is proud to partner with longtime Pillar To Post inspector Jim Thompson as he transitions into retirement. We’re honored to continue serving the Realtors and clients who have trusted Jim over the years, while providing the same high level of service, professionalism, and care they have come to expect.
The Dalchow Team’s story began in Hudson, Wisconsin, in 2023 when Luke and Katie Dalchow took over the Mike Bibeault Pillar To Post franchise. Since then, our team has continued to grow through partnerships with respected inspectors who were ready to transition into retirement.
In the fall of 2024, we partnered with the Allendar Team, expanding our service area further into the Twin Cities while helping provide a seamless transition for their longtime Realtor partners and clients. In 2025, we were fortunate to continue that growth by partnering with Mark Layton as he entered retirement. Most recently, in July 2026, we partnered with Jim Thompson to carry on the relationships and reputation he built throughout his years in the home inspection industry.
Each of these partnerships means more to us than simply expanding our service area. We understand the trust that Realtors and clients place in their home inspector, and we take seriously the responsibility of continuing the level of service they have grown accustomed to.
Today, the Dalchow Team proudly serves the Twin Cities metro and Western Wisconsin with a growing team of experienced inspectors and an expanding range of inspection and testing services. We’re excited to continue building on the strong relationships established by Mike, the Allenders, Mark, and Jim while creating new relationships of our own.
Our goal remains simple: provide thorough inspections, dependable communication, and exceptional service to every client and Realtor we have the opportunity to work with.
