Main inspector Michael K and inspector Michael B(for Radon and sewer line testing) were knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful. We were home for the whole inspection and didn't put upon yet noticed they were very through. We had used Valueguard 20 years ago when we purchased this very house and our RE agent…

Great Service. The inspector, James Royer, was exceptional. Very professional and thorough. Highly recommend VGHI
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…
Joe was absolutely phenomenal, very informative and to the T.
Nick was fantastic. Great guy. Extremely thorough and he did a great job of providing me with information on his key findings as he went through the property. This is exactly what I was looking for and I will be sure to recommend ValueGuard and specifically, Nick for anyone needing home inspection services.
This was my first experience participating in a home inspection. I had no clue what it all involved. My inspector Nick performed a dynamite inspection. He explained everything clearly in language I could understand, he didn’t rush and he answered all my and my husbands questions without hesitation. I would highly…
This was my second time using ValueGaurd. Joe did an awesome job inspecting the house in East Oak Lane neighborhood of Philadelphia. He was thorough and willing to answer all of our questions. I definitely recommend him.
Cory and Micheal were amazing! So glad Valuegaurd was recommended to me. Scheduling was smooth and the inspections were thorough.
Robert was on time and very professional. He explained in detail what he would be doing on this appointed visit. He made sure all my question were addressed before he left the property. I will definitely recommend him to potential clients

Mr. Kelly was very thorough and I appreciated his explanations as I accompanied him throughout the inspection. I hired this home inspection prior to my listing my home for sale. I wanted to be sure to…
My home inspection was performed by Steven Haslam, who was just wonderful. He is friendly, kid, and nice to spend time. He spent 5 hours to inspect our medium sized house, looking at every small detail. He was patient with all my questions, and offered lots of great advice on top of his detailed assessment. I would…
Worth every penny
Mike was amazingly professional and kind, we learned a ton about our new house and feel much more knowledgeable being in his care.
Joe was on time (actually early), forthcoming, professional, helpful, thorough, and polite. He is incredibly knowledgeable on all the issues likely to be found in homes like ours. Highly recommended. Worth every penny.
I had my parents home pre inspected to see what was going on if anything with their home since I had not lived there in years. Robert Reilly was the guy who was recommended and I was lucky to get him. He was super thorough and knew his stuff. I would say he took maybe four hours but it is a 6500 sq ft house. He…
Jason was very thorough in his assessment of the house. He arrived early and started before I got there. The other staff members came in and completed their job with ease. Highly recommended. K. Le Blanc
Michael was very professional and explained everything too us. As first time homebuyers we had a lot of questions but his explanations were very helpful and he told us what we should look for in our home.
Great service! Mike was thorough and explained everything in an easy to understand way.
Our home inspector Reid was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout our inspection. He gave us great advice and left no stone unturned. Highly recommend!
