Thank you Steven and Matt, for your time and attention to the property home inspection.. Because of your work I was able to fore know the issues that could not be seen without your knowledge. Also fast turn around time. I will recommend ValueGuard to anyone. Thanks you ValueGuard for a better home buying experience. Mrs. Ross
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 could not be happier. From the appointment scheduling to the detailed reports and guidance provided upon completion, everything was…
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…
As buyers for two properties now we've chosen ValueGuard. The entire team, but especially Michael Kelley were honest, no nonsense inspectors who told you exactly how it was and made sure to document thoroughly to have your back. Ultimately their findings led us to get out of one contract and it's a good thing we…
Michael is such a great inspector! Top notch service and explanations. Fast report very detailed. Thank you!
I am in the process of buying a home and was referred to ValueGuard. My inspector was James, he was very nice. He helped me understand any concerns I had. He had plenty of energy and took his time going through all parts of the house. I originally had to cancel my first appointment. Customer service handled that…
James was outstanding. Extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and detail-oriented. We asked for a comprehensive home inspection, and he left no stone unturned. He even identified an issue that we missed after multiple visits to the property. His expertise gave us confidence and likely saved us from a very costly…
Stephen is a really patient and thorough inspector. He knows a lot about houses, and about Philly houses in particular.
Last week James Royer completed a complete home inspection: home, radon, termite. Excellent professionalism, attention to detail and thorough. We strongly recommend him as he is seasoned and well-experienced. With all our many questions, he gave us an extensive learning experience. The education is an added value.…
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!
Very thorough and detailed inspection
The sewer scope wasn't complete because the pipe needed to be cleared of debris. They should offer a second scope after the debris is cleared at a discounted price. I have to trust that the owner is going to take care of it. Also, the report didn't state that this was mandatory so the buyer refused to do it. Next…
Nick is an awesome inspector. I trust him as he is meticulous about what he does. Wouldn’t trust anyone else to do my home inspection
Excellent and thorough service! The inspectors were knowledgeable and patient answering all of my questions. Highly personable and professional! Thanks guys
Really nice experience with Michael! He is very professional and patient and so humorous! Thorough examination and explanation, and answers all of our questions and concerns. Will definitely choose them again.
We have used ValueGuard Home Inspections twice now and we have had great experiences with the inspectors each time. They are professional, kind, personable and keep us in the loop as they are making their way around the home.
Service was exceptional. The gentleman were on time and courteous throughout the whole inspection. They were very professional and answered all of my questions explaining everything thoroughly.
Cory and Micheal were amazing! So glad Valuegaurd was recommended to me. Scheduling was smooth and the inspections were thorough.
Steven and Tyler both exceeded our expectations. This was my first home inspection and I had no idea what to expect and really know nothing about any of this. Both workers were patient and thorough and answered all of our questions. We spent majority of our time with Steven, who was exceptional. He encouraged us to…
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…
Dave was great - very thorough and explained everything along the way!
This is my third inspection with James. He's very professional, kind and funny. He went through everything. So yes I trust him. And will use your service again, if needed and I will recommend your company.
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.
They did a really great job with my inspection! Explained everything really clearly and willing to answer all of my questions. Matt and Steve were super helpful and nice.
Extremely knowledgeable inspector.
Our inspector, Robert, was really awesome.....took a lot of time and explained everything as he went along. Extremely knowledgeable and thorough.
I was blown away by Rob’s services. He never “man-splained” and only “ex-plained” what we were dealing with in our 1960’s era home. I had a full understanding in this post COVID 19-era world what we needed to get done to make our home safe and habitable. I highly recommend Rona’s a home inspector during these trying times.
