Tyler was very knowledgeable and thorough. He and his partner took their time, answered questions and pointed out the “why” behind each step. They were encouraging and gracious.

I would highly recommend. Nick did a great job with the inspection of our new construction home!
James was an amazing inspector! Very thorough in his report and happy to answer all of our questions by phone as we were out of state at the time of the inspection. James gave us a lot of information and helpful advice about our new home. Absolutely worth it!
Nick Ostrowski from Value Guard is one of the best home inspectors I have worked with. He is my go to recommendation to my buyers. I say this because he is so thorough and knowledgeable. He does't rush and advises and educates the buyer throughout the inspection. I can not recommend him enough. All my buyers…
I have nothing but good things to say about ValueGuard. Tyler, Steven, Michael B, David, Michael K, and James have all inspected for my clients in the past. The entire team is prompt, diligent, and always happy to help with any questions after an inspection. Booking is very easy, with Jim or online. You want ValueGuard in your corner when buying a home!
Michael K. is our inspector. He does an excellent job and is very detail and thorough to check on every inch and corner of the house. He answered all our questions and concerns. He really is the best of the best. The inspection report contains summary report and full report which are impressive to read and…
Steve came out to inspect our house before our home warranty expired. Report was quickly generated. Steve pointed out minute details while inspecting our place and gave great suggestions. He was punctual about the arrival time. He explained us all the concerns he noticed. I would really recommend their services to all my known ones.
James is exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. During our new home inspection, he examined every aspect of the house from top to bottom with a level of thoroughness that truly impressed us. He didn’t rush through anything—he carefully inspected the roof, exterior, foundation,…
The inspector was very detailed. He answered all my questions.

James was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. He has a great attention to detail and excellent communication skills. Would highly recommend.
As a first time home buyer, I wanted to make sure I chose a reputable company. ValueGuard came recommended from a friend and I’m glad I went with them. My inspector Joe was awesome and personable. He explained everything well and answered all questions I asked. Matt performed the sewer scope and was very informative…
ValueGuard came recommended by our realtor and we couldn't be happier with the services provided! Mike was professional, took the time to educate us on what he was doing, and emphasized the concerns we had going into the inspection. Tyler was professional with the sewer line scope and it was a wonderful experience working with both of them.
Michael did an excellent job with our home inspection. He arrived early, introduced himself, handed us a business card, and gave us an outline of the inspection process. He got to work right away and after he completed the inspection of each floor, he shared any important updates with us. I especially liked that he…
Robert provided a thorough and thoughtful inspection with a focus on safety and quality. I couldn't be happier with the service I received.
Very detailed through inspection and super friendly staff. I enjoyed the process
Joe Topper was very nice and knowledgeable. He explained things to me about the home that I thought was important to know when purchasing a new home. Purchasing a home for the 1st time can be a scary experience but he put my mind at ease with a few smiles along the way, I had a good experience overall.
I used ValueGuard for a recent new home inspection in Elkins Park, PA and their responsiveness, professionalism and timeliness was exceptional. They were not only early for the inspection but the formal report was turned around within 6 hours of the inspection! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a…
I had no idea a home inspection would be fun, but it was! I really enjoyed walking through the house with Robert while he explained to me what he was looking for, what's good, what's bad, the life expectancy of the appliances, the roof, etc. I learned so much in those couple of hours! He was incredibly thorough,…
Helpful and professional service!
