First-class service start to finish! Jim was great to work with through quoting and scheduling and Tyler was fantastic during the home inspection, taking the time to walk us through every detail of his findings. The final reports were detailed and gave us everything we needed address any items of concern.

I hired ValueGuard to do a home inspection for our new house based on their reviews. I agree with the many, many others! I had a quote right away, and the inspection was scheduled and completed within days. Mike was so pleasant, walking me through all of the issues as he encountered them. He explained things in ways that I could follow along, never once making me feel like I was incompetent. He offered suggestions as well, and gave me his cell phone number for any follow-up questions I might have. I found myself enjoying the whole experience, and learning a thing or two about older Philly row homes! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! This is a family company with technicians that have been working there for many years, showing how reputable and fair the company is.

As first time home buyers, we were definitely a bit nervous for our inspection. We bought a home built in 1925, so it was very important to us to have a thorough inspection. Mike from ValueGuard was above and beyond what we were expecting! He was kind, extremely thorough and attentive to detail, and encouraged us to ask as many questions as we needed along the way. We’d absolutely recommend this company (and specifically Mike!) to anyone looking for an inspector. We had a 12/10 experience!

Tyler came out with just a few days notice and I couldn’t be happier with the thoroughness of the inspection and overall professionalism. He patiently answered any question I had and I felt in great hands going through this process for my first time.

As a real estate agent, I have been through many home inspections with ValueGuard but I wanted to specifically highlight Michael Pistor. He was incredibly knowledgable and shared a ton of useful information with the home buyers and with me during the inspection. He was not an alarmist which is also invaluable. The home buyers mentioned a handful of times how thorough they felt he was conducting his inspection and on top of all of the professionalism, his personality was quite easy going. I would recommend Mike over and over again, and I will certainly request him in future inspections.

We were delighted by our experience with Michael Pistor inspecting a Philly rowhouse we were looking to buy. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable, happy to share his experience and expertise, and straightforward where a question was outside of his scope. He spent hours with us on site looking at everything thoroughly and discussing his observations, and the final report was complete, well documented, and delivered quickly. We enthusiastically recommend Michael to anyone looking for an inspection.

Working with the ValueGuard team made everything a breeze for my home inspection. I found them to professional and thorough. Prompt responses, easy to schedule online tool, and timely team. The inspector, Mike, was especially wonderful for offering me education on the things he was catching during the inspection which made me feel empowered and confident about the process. I can't recommend - or thank -- this team enough.

Valuegard does detailed, meticulous inspections and has excellent customer service. I have used them four times and all the inspections and reports were outstanding. Inspector Reid Stevers was referred to me by my previous real estate agent, and I have used him ever since. Deeply knowledgeable, thorough and always willing to explain issues in detail to a first time home buyer like me. He provided me absolutely invaluable knowledge not only for purchase, but also long term maintenance of the house. Also, he never made me feel belittled, as no question was too basic. After submitting the report, Reid talked to me at length and answered every query. Working with Valuegard was a great experience, and I can’t imagine buying a home with them.

Michael Baltrush was very thourough during the inspection and explained everything well. The inspection report has estimates as well and that helps to understand the costs to fix any issues.

We were very impressed with and grateful to our inspector (Mike). His thoroughness inspired so much confidence. He helped us get a handle on both the high-priority and low-priority issues in the home we’re hoping to buy (an old Victorian, being sold as-is), while also making that information digestible and not too overwhelming. He was sure to highlight the virtues and strong points of the property, which was also helpful to hear. He went meticulously from top to bottom of the house; he was amazingly articulate about each detail, in a way that made clear that there was a wealth of knowledge and experience behind all his observations. After this inspection, we felt like we were able to make an educated choice in moving forward with our home purchase. While there are definitely some repairs ahead of us, we now know what we’re getting into and what we need to do. We feel confident approaching those improvements with Mike’s report in hand.

Value Guard makes scheduling an appointment EASY with its online scheduler. We were able to choose our inspector, the time and the inspections my clients wanted done. The online invoicing was swift and safe. The inspection itself was fantastic- Cory explained many systems to my first time homebuyer in easy to understand language. He was there early to get all exterior drone footage so we were able to use our time inside the home wisely. Fantastic experience and I will use him again!

Mike was extremely helpful during our home inspection. He was thorough with the walkthrough, notes, and explanations and helped my husband and I make the most educated decision for buying our home. We know exactly what the house needs and how to move forward with repairs, thank you again!
