Pillar To Post Home Inspectors Marks Record Growth at 2026 Conference

Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, the largest home inspection franchise in North America, celebrated a significant milestone at its annual Brand Conference held on March 4, 2026, in St. Louis. The company recognized its franchise business owners for their achievements and introduced a new charitable initiative, following a remarkable period of growth marked by 13 consecutive quarters of increased market share.

The conference served not only as a platform for celebration but also as a forum for strategy reinforcement and future planning. Charles Furlough, CEO of Pillar To Post, emphasized the importance of disciplined execution across the franchise network, stating, “Thirteen consecutive quarters of market share growth reflects disciplined execution across our network.”

The past year was characterized by a strong performance underscored by new franchise agreements and expansions of existing territories. Pillar To Post focused on enhancing its technology infrastructure with the launch of its innovative platform, Pillar To Post HomePage. Furlough commented on the growth, saying, “2025 was all about building momentum the right way and our team did that tremendously from the inside out.”

Recognizing Franchise Excellence

A significant highlight of the conference was the recognition of outstanding franchise owners. Greg DuPey and his team, serving southeast Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, were awarded Franchise Business Owner of the Year for their exceptional operational performance and sustained growth. Their ability to scale while maintaining a positive team culture exemplifies the core values of Pillar To Post.

Additionally, Jeremiah Adell from Greater Augusta, Georgia, was named Rookie of the Year. Adell achieved impressive revenue figures in his first year, even in the face of challenges posed by a major hurricane in his region. Working alongside his wife, Maria Adell, a fellow veteran, they demonstrated resilience and community commitment by conducting vital roof inspections post-storm while establishing their business.

“Greg and his team represent what being a franchise business owner is all about,” Furlough noted. He praised DuPey for his long-standing commitment and notable growth. He further commended the Adells for their character and focus on execution despite adversity.

New Charitable Initiative and Future Plans

As part of its commitment to community involvement, Pillar To Post introduced a new charitable initiative called Pillar Of Hope. Launched in late 2025, this initiative aims to support causes aligned with the company’s service-oriented culture. Initial efforts include partnerships with the National Breast Cancer Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society, focusing on donation campaigns across North America.

Looking ahead, Pillar To Post is poised to continue its upward trajectory in 2026, bolstered by a strong demand for home inspections and housing purchases. Furlough reiterated, “Our system is growing because our owners are growing.” The energy and enthusiasm displayed during the conference reflect a network that is confident and ready to seize future opportunities.
