Reviews of ValueGuard Home Inspections
Tricia Kiddie
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!
michelle graser
Robert was terrific.
Professional. Able to communicate in layman’s terms what he was doing and what he discovered.
I felt empowered to continue the purchase process for my house knowing the detractors, red flags and potential future concerns.
As a single woman embarking on the home buying journey, I appreciated that, while I had very little knowledge about the most of the items covered in the inspection, at no time did I feel patronized to.
I highly recommend Robert.
If your other inspectors are half as good, I highly recommend your company as well.
Christine Donato
Mike Baltrush was the absolute BEST. This is a first home purchase for my husband and me, and Mike was patient and thorough. He took time to provide us with explanations on each room as he moved throughout the house. He is extremely knowledgeable and a master in his trade. He answered all of our questions, and he paid careful attention to the concerns we had with the property up front. We had a great experience and will be sure to request Mike for future home inspection needs. I highly recommend this company and Mike B. The process was smooth and simple from start to finish. Thank you, Mike!!!
Hollis Roush
Amazing service! We worked with Mike twice for two different properties. Because of his thorough report and expertise we terminated our agreement on our first property we were looking at. He provided areas of concern and a cost breakdown which saved us $50,000 in repairs for a substandard property. We enjoyed his service so much we requested him again on our second property. The time he invested in going through each component of the duplex truly reassured us from an investor and occupant stand point. Highly recommend!
Chase Stephens
Pete was the best! Super informative, patient, detailed, and upfront he was perfect for our home inspection. He took the time to explain details to us and allowed us to ride allow through the whole process. Would recommend Pete any day, all around great guy who cares about providing value to his clients and making a connection when a very big purchase is on the line!

ValueGuard Home Inspections was my best investment throughout the house-buying process. They are good at contacting, and getting your report sent in a timely matter and the quality of work is unmatched. The inspectors are very thorough and knowledgeable, the inspector that I request is James! My realtor and I would always say “in James we trust.” This company gives me confidence that I can make a sound decision once they perform radon, termite, and home inspection. I would strongly recommend ValueGuard to anyone, even if an inspection was already performed don't settle get ValueGuard to do it right!
Felix Jimenez
My experience with value guard home inspection was great. My inspector name was Michael Bluestein.
He was great very knowledgeable on his craft. He asked me if this was my first time going through this process I said yes and he walk me through the whole process step by step. He was very thorough with is inspection excellent work. Made me feel very comfortable I recommend his service to everyone
CJ
James Royer was my inspector, and he went above and beyond amazing. His attention to detail was more than expected, and I feel like he didn’t miss a single thing. The report he sent back was incredibly well written and easy to understand.
My inexperience almost led me to buying a house with a lot of problems, but due to James’ diligence and hard work, I was able to make a well informed decision about balking on the home I thought I wanted. We will absolutely be using James again in the future.

I called Valueguard to inspect my home after the first home inspection company that was used while purchasing missed quite a few major problems. The gentleman who answered the phone was very polite and happy to answer all of my questions. He scheduled an appointment within a week. Robert was my inspector and he made sure that all my questions were answered and the inspection was completed to great satisfaction. He arrived on time, and before even beginning the inspection, we sat down and he asked me what my expectations were, if there were any areas that I wanted focused on in the report. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of professionalism and high level of customer service that he provided. He was equipped to do a full inspection (had a drone to inspect the roof, whereas the other inspector did not even go onto the roof and did not have a drone to properly inspect the entire area), and very knowledgeable about each aspect of the home. The inspection itself took about 3hrs, which was disclosed when I first scheduled it. I wish that I had hired ValueGuard for my initial inspection because they found about twice as many defects as the first inspector who came to the house. I HIGHLY recommend this home inspection company to anyone in the Philadelphia area; they are thorough and their prices are competitive with others in the area.
Tania Buzh
Pete Kuryluk did an exceptional job with the inspection! He was thorough, professional, and answered all of my questions and concerns. Inspection report was delivered very promptly (next morning). All documentation is written in clear manner, comprehensive and easy to navigate.
I will definitely be using them for future inspections and will highly recommend their service to my friends!
Andrea Mitchell
I recently had a home inspection with Robert Reilly - Value Guard Home Inspections. Purchasing an old home and having no knowledge of what potential issues to be aware of, is very overwhelming to say the least. Robert was extremely thorough and inspected every inch of the home. He took the time to explain all the systems, issues that needed to be addressed, potential cost estimates, what could be fixed later and what needed immediate attention. I now feel a lot more confident moving forward with purchasing my home and would highly recommend Robert!
Andrew Thome
Cory S. performed the inspection on our home. This was my second experience personally hiring an inspector and I have seen numerous reports through different friends purchasing homes. This was by far the most comprehensive, organized, and knowledgeable inspection process that I have encountered. Beyond the great report, our inspector Cory was a pleasure to deal with and gave us very useful advice through the whole process. My biggest complaint about the inspection process in general is that they tend to be unrealistically negative; I did not find this was the case with the value guard inspection and was instead presented with actionable advice on how to repair anything that was found wrong with the home. Based on my experience I will only use ValueGaurd (and Cory) for my own future needs and referrals to friends and family. What a great experience!!
James Cheung
I had a great experience with Robert R. inspecting an investment property recently...Robert is very professional and willing to let me tag along in the process, providing many Q&A's on site, allowing me to make intelligent decisions based on the insight I was able to gain - with his help. His final report is very thorough & comprehensive. I highly recommend him !
Ravi Culleton
Cory Shalaway did our inspection and he was fantastic. Answered all our questions quickly and easily, and brought many things to our attention we would never have noticed. Took the time to explain concepts to us we were unfamiliar with, and was just extremely easy to talk to and work with in general. Goes the extra mile to provide a great client experience!
Kevin Jennison
I have nothing but good things to say about our recent inspection by Michael Kelley. Michael was thorough, kind, and took the time to explain a ton about the house. Ultimately, he identified a major structural issue that saved us from a lot of stress in the future and provided clear next steps to remedy the problems he found. Working with ValueGuard was smooth and pleasant from start to finish.
Pavle Milutinovic
James Royer performed an amazingly detailed and comprehensive inspection and both the report and verbal explanations along the way were immensely helpful for me. I was very impressed with the time he took to thoroughly and meticulously inspect the entire house. He has deep knowledge of the issues, is very professional, and gives an accurate assessment. I would give my highest recommendation to him and ValueGuard. Thank you!
L Tran
Our inspector Tyler Gilger was professional, knowledgeable, efficient and super helpful! He was available to answer all of our questions thoroughly and accommodated our schedule when we needed to return to inspect the repairs. The report was thorough and the turnaround time was fast. Tyler and the ValueGuard team made the whole process much more pleasant and eased our minds.
Robert Eisentrout
Robert is fantastic. He inspected two homes for us. His observations saved us from buying a place that was hiding a lot of needed repairs. As first-time homebuyers, he took the time to explain things and answer our questions. He--and ValueGuard--are professional, personable, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.
Jesse Fields
Mike Baltrush from ValueGuard Home Inspections was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. I joined him for the inspection and he answered all of my questions throughout. He was clear on his recommendations and what to expect as we move forward with the process. I would highly recommend ValueGuard, both on price and the level of service provided. Ask if Mike is available!
Sarah de Wolf
Michael Baltrush was our home inspector and did a fantastic job. He was incredibly thorough and explained everything to us clearly. He got us our home inspection report the next day. Would definitely recommend Value Guard for a home inspection!
JLAP Realty
Robert Reilly from ValueGuard has done a consistently great job inspecting our personal residence as well as a few rentals for us. He is thorough, quickly turns around detailed reports, and is very knowledgeable in repair suggestions and identifying issues with homes. I heartily recommend using ValueGuard and Robert for home inspections and will continue to be a repeat customer.
Zac Guidone
This is my second time using ValueGuard and it was a great experience. The management team actually adjusted my price down as they were running a sale by the time we scheduled the inspection. My inspector, Tyler Gilger, spent 5.5 hours at the property with me turning over every detail and walking me through detailed recommendations. Highly recommend.
Nina Ros
I would highly recommend this company for home inspections. I had Michael Pastor come out twice to two homes I was looking to purchase. He is amazing at what he does, extremely thorough, patience, personable, and provides great insight and tips. Choose him people!
A Trep
Our inspector,Pete, was professional, thorough, took the time and patience to explain things clearly, alerted us to major concerns, made suggestions on how to remedy those concerns and was just a nice guy to work with. It was easy to book our inspection online, pay and sign to complete appointment booking and confirmation was quickly sent. I would highly recommend this company and Pete to family and friends.
Tom Smith
Reid was conducted a thorough inspection and showed great patience with all my questions. I now have a complete knowledge on how the systems, fixtures and equipment operate and will not have a learning curve once I move into my new residence. 100% satisfied and I highly recommend this service.
L. C.
Pete inspected my new home today. I had lots of questions about just about everything. Pete took the time to do a thorough inspection of everything and he took the time to explain what he was looking for, what he found, and why it was important. He pointed out things that I would have never noticed. He talked to me about solutions to the problems he found. I now know so much more about my house than I did before Pete's inspection.
Thank you so much Pete!
Kevin Smith
We had our home inspection with Mike and it went very well. Mike was extremely knowledgeable and walked us through every single finding. This was helpful since we are first time homebuyers. I would highly recommend!
Nina Lindenbaum
Extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Definitely felt like I was in good hands. Pete was so patient, and taught me a lot of things to look out for as im a first time home buyer. Amazing experience would definitely recommend
Donna Murch
Reid Stevers was my inspector and he is outstanding! 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 for 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 without Reid’s help!
Sarah J Schuster
Michael was knowledgeable and kind during his inspection of our new (prospective) house! He provided us all the information we needed to further negotiate with our seller, but also some general tips on home maintenance and for first time homeowners/homebuyers. Thanks to the ValueGuard team for a great experience!
Santosh Reddy
Had my home inspection today. Cory Shalaway, the inspector was exceptional, was very patient in answered all my questions. A detailed inspection report with photos were delivered less than 12 hours with observation and recommended. Definitely recommend their service. Thanks Cory and Valueguard team for exceptional service!
isaac hershey
We had a home inspected by Reid at ValueGuard and couldn't have been happier. He did an extremely detailed inspection and always made sure to explain what he was looking for and what he found. It was worth every penny.
Greg Holt
We had a great time inspecting our house with Mike. Easy going and friendly, but super detailed and organized. We talked through every little question we could think of. Highly recommended!
Marcus McCarthy
We had Michael K. do our inspection and he was fantastic! He was very professional, thorough, and patiently answered all of my questions. He is a wealth of information and I would highly recommend working with him.
Kimberly C.
Pete was extremely professional and very knowledgeable! He answered all of our questions and really brought us peace of mind with our home buying decision. Definitely recommend ValueGuard and especially Pete as the inspector!
Christine Binkley
James Royer is a phenomenal inspector. He is thorough and knowledgeable with excellent bedside manner. He knows when to sound the alarm and when something may seem scary, but isn’t a reason to panic. James is honest with great integrity. He is an asset as an inspector!! As a realtor, I see all caliber of inspectors and James is the cream of the crop. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a detail oriented inspection!
Chris Harris
My inspector, Rob, made me really feel at ease in buying my house. ValueGuard really makes you feel like you have a reliable party on your side. They are thorough, professional, and honest. I highly recommend them.
Beverly David
Oh My Goodness…. My inspector Pete Kury-Luc was the greatest. He took the time to explain everything while going through the home with throughly. He went through every nook and cranny while explaining everything he saw and what needed to be corrected. As I followed him arithmetic was pleasant and didn’t mind my many questions. I am definitely pleased because he took his time checking everything. Pete was informative and looked at things I never would have looked at. He is fantastic and I will recommend him to anyone who is looking for a home inspector. Thank you Pete for a job well done and thank you ValueGuard for having such an excellent and experience d member on your team.
Haley
Robert at Valueguard gave us a great inspection experience! As first time homebuyers we had a lot of questions and he was very patient, providing clear and thorough answers on everything. The turnaround time for the inspection report was super quick. We will definitely use Valueguard in the future.
JOEL JEAN-BAPTISTE
Michael Bluestein did an excellent job he was straightforward with the pros and cons of the property and what needed to be done down the road. I'm glad I chose ValueGuard for the home inspection you guys never fail and are very professional I would recommend your services to anyone that is looking to purchase whether a first-time home buyer or your next one. Thank you.

From start to finish it was a pleasure to work with Jim and our inspector Robert. My client and I both recieved the inspection report quickly and Robert answered all our questions on site/was very thorough, informative and fun to talk with. Highly recommend!
Lori Kellam
As first time homebuyers we did not know exactly what to expect from the inspection process but Mike B walked us through everything and was incredibly thorough and patiently answered all our questions. Really appreciate the time spent and would enthusiastically recommend both Value Guard and Mike B to anyone buying a new home!
James Coughlin
Robert was extremely informative with his observations. I had a home inspection on another property years ago and this one was on an entirely different level. I was able to make a very informed plan for my offer and buying my new home!
Patricia Bell
Pete Kuryluk was such an amazing inspector. He took the time to not only throughly look through the house but also to explain things in detail so I could understand the issues and their severity. He was also funny and we had a good time during the inspection.
Aaron Davis
Mike was incredibly friendly and in-depth with his inspection. As a first-time buyer, I was so glad to have Mike share his expertise with me. If you need an inspection in Philadelphia, call these guys!
Tess Murray-Torres
We used ValueGuard for a pre-offer limited inspection and they were fantastic—punctual, efficient, and excellent feedback that they were able to give us on the property. Unfortunately we were unsuccessful with our offer on that house—but we certainly will return to ValueGuard for our next offer!
Lauren Nalley
Rob did a great job with our inspection. As first time homeowners, he took the time to explain any issues that arose and also general maintenance information which was invaluable as we take on ownership
Charles Neer
We worked with Pete this morning and he was absolutely terrific. Extremely thorough, very knowledgeable and took the time to explain what hw was looking for and why it mattered. He also wanted to make sure he answered all our questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Nicole Shek
Very happy with the home inspection I received today! Robert was very friendly and taught us a few things here & there. Will definitely be recommending to friends & family. Thanks Robert!

Panos Anadiotis
Michael Baltrush did an excellent job with the inspection of the house we're considering buying. Very thorough and detailed in his explanations.
Denzel Rivera
Robert Reilly did a great job at identifying issues during the inspection. His report has made it so that I will move in to the new home worry-free.
Meredith Pan
ValueGuard performed an inspection on a home that I am under contract on. Robert was very thorough and took time to explain everything to me. I've had several home inspections in the past and this Company has been my favorite to work with.
Jim Armstrong
Rob Reilly was exceptional—knowledgeable, thorough, professional, friendly. You can tell he cares about his job and his clients.
Pablo Negron
They showed up on time very knowledge able, and informative. Explained the process and how long it will take, and above all us had my best interest at heart.
Everett Seay
We're used ValueGuard twice now. Our first experience was with Michael K who was not available due to our time constraints (he's amazing by the way!). Michael B. took care of us this time around. He was first rate as well! Very professional, knowledgeable, and patient. He took the time to explain everything in great detail yet kept things easy to understand. From the scheduling to the inspection, reporting, and follow-up, this has been the most smooth part of navigating this unprecedented housing market. Highly recommended, 11/10!
Silvio Scotti
We had a great experience with Mike B from ValueGuard! He was very knowledgeable and friendly and talked us through everything he was looking at on the exterior and interior of our new home. We now feel confident that our home is in good condition, and we know where to focus our maintenance efforts. Mike offered lots of recommendations and references for when we need repairs, and we will definitely be reaching out when the time comes. Thanks Mike!
Emily Tobin
I could not recommend Pete K at ValueGuard enough! He was incredibly thorough and walked through every single step in detail with us. As first time home buyers, we were very nervous about buying a house without knowing all of the ins and outs. Pete made sure we were aware of everything and more! He really put us at ease, and even encouraged us to call him (no matter how many years later it may be) just to ask him questions if we wanted his help! He was so knowledgeable, personable, and just great all around. We received the report in 24 hours and could not be happier with our decision to choose ValueGuard for our home inspection. Thank you Pete!
Ash Richards
We worked with Michael Kelley, whose reputation precedes him. Michael was an absolute gem to work with, taking the time to explain everything, really, everything that we asked about or were concerned with. Inspections are can be a stressful process and Michael was calm and honest throughout the entire process. With high expectations for thoroughness, Michael was exceptional, and we would be happy to refer him to other folks needing this process done. ValueGaurd as a company scheduled the appointment quickly and had availability on the weekend, which really helped us out. The report captured every issue we discovered and discussed and was done in an incredibly timely manner. Very happy to have worked with this company and hope others are able to have ease within a process like this.
Vanessa
Oh my goodness, where do I start?! I found them online and was able to grab an appointment for the very next day. James was our inspector and he was absolutely amazing. He was so thorough and didn’t rush at all!! He explained everything that he saw and answered every question we had. He didn’t try to rush to meet some appointment deadline and he took his time when it was over to really explain in detail about the major issues he found. We loved his service so much that we’re requesting him to perform our inspections each and every time. If you’re looking for a quality home inspection company, you can’t go wrong with ValueGuard. I’m so happy we found them!
Emily Grace Kane
ValueGuard did both our home and termite inspection for us, and they were extremely professional and thorough. They answered all our questions and went over all their findings as we walked through the inspection. It was also extremely easy to schedule them - they were available within two days and put a hold on the books for us while we waiting on the status of or offer, which put our minds at ease. Highly recommend them!
Teddy Schon
We had Mike Pistor do an inspection on the home we are buying. Mike was very professional, thorough and explained every step of the process. His report showed issues that we were able to bring to the seller and negotiate. The detail in Mikes report was outstanding and helped us make a better decision on if to move forward with this house and what we should look to get covered by the seller. I can not recommend ValueGuard enough and recommend Mike P even more.
Diana B
After having to reschedule at the last-minute multiple times, ValueGuard was very understanding and accommodating. They were friendly and responded very quickly whenever we reached out. On inspection day, Joe arrived early and did a thorough inspection, didn't complain about the unbearable heat, and was very friendly and professional. I didn't think an inspection could be a pleasant experience, but I learned a lot and left feeling better about my decision!
abblauren
We had Robert inspect our home in South Philadelphia and he was extremely detailed, knowledgeable, and professional. He really took his time and pointed out everything to us. Robert really left no stone unturned. He made comments that were outside of your typical inspection about certain things in our home to be happy about or to look out for. We felt we had a great understanding about the property we're purchasing after the inspection/walkthrough Robert did. He deserves a glowing review! Another nice touch was that we got $50 off the inspection when booking online with a code. Can't beat a savings.
Elena and Scott -
Peter was very professional, honest and informative during our home inspection today. My wife and I are first time home buyers and had a lot of questions. He was extremely thorough and made us feel at peace with this process. 10/10 we recommend value guard.
Rachel Schindler
Joe T was AMAZING! We are first time home buyers and he helped us understand everything in the inspection! Very thorough and professional - very quick turnaround time too!! Shout out to Joe M for helping us with our Radon testing and getting that done very quickly too!! If you need an inspection DEFINITELY use Value Guard.
Sara Oh
We worked with Michael Kelley for our home inspection and he was so thorough and knowledgeable. He involved us in every process and answered all of our questions. We met yesterday afternoon and received the full report early this morning. Highly recommended!!
Ryan Kirk
Pretty thorough, but they missed that the washing machine doesn't drain. They flagged it as being old, and correctly noted that it started (electric/water worked), but it doesn't drain after a cycle. Obviously a big disappointment to have to shell out for a new washer after buying a home.
They definitely caught other things, and I even used their report to negotiate a credit from the seller, so overall a bit of a mixed bag.
Daisy Van Ness
Mike was detailed, thorough and professional! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a home inspection.
William Mills
I had a good experience with Value Guard, though YMMV. My inspector was Michael Bluestein and he did excellent work. He was very thorough in his inspection and identified a number of minor to medium issues we will need to fix. I can't speak to any of the other inspectors contracted by ValueGuard, but I recommend Mike highly.
Julia Lu
Pete Kuryluk was super thorough and knowledgeable! It was so hot yesterday. Pete spend 4 and a half hours doing the inspection for us. He checked everything. Best inspector you can find!
Laura Barry
The process was quite easy- and they were very responsive. I appreciated the detailed explanations Mike and Randy gave as the home was being inspected- and the opportunity to ask lots of questions! Thank you!
Nicky Starner
Michael was very kind and informative. He was prompt and timely in his inspection and offered to make himself available for any questions or concerns related to the document.
Dan Kroszner
Michael Baltrush was great. Explained any and all issues thoroughly. I feel much more knowledgeable on the property and how to improve it for the future
Sarah Speigle
Mike was fantastic! I actually ENJOYED the home inspection. It was educational, friendly, and comprehensive. I felt welcome to ask questions and for clarification and the report I received the next day was complete and detailed.
Lacy Balistrieri
As a first time home buyer, my experience with Pete from Value Guard was invaluable! He was thorough and had great attention detail. Bonus points for being friendly!
maggie shotzbarger
Joe was great! He was thorough and answered all my questions. I highly recommend Valueguard Home Inspections.
-Brian Treston
Clint Carlisle
We hired Robert from ValueGuard to do our first inspection, and we are so thankful we did. He was able to identify a number of issues that made buying the home untenable. He walked us through every single detail from roof to basement, and he provided a fantastic report with pictures and details that we could actually understand. We ended up terminating that sale, and when we found a new home, we hired Robert again. Just like the first time, he was incredibly meticulous, and this time the house was great! Robert and ValueGuard will always be our go to for inspections. We can’t thank them enough.
Katty Acero
It was a total pleasure meeting with Michael! He was very communicative about what areas were not standard according to the rules and regulations of the township's guidelines. He took his valuable time inspecting every aspect that he could on the property and provided grate recommendations. I would recommend the company to anyone that is going through the process of purchasing a new home.
Kerry Benson
We had a great experience with Valueguard. James did our general home inspection. He was knowledgeable, thorough, and gave us a lot of tips along the way. He explained why and how he identified things that are or could be an issue and answered all of our questions. Randal did our termite inspection. He similarly took time to give us tips on how to decrease the risk of insect intrusion. The reports were delivered in a timely manner.
Emma LaPorte
We are SO happy we went with ValueGuard. Mike Baltrush, our inspector, was seriously amazing - we are first time home buyers and had a million questions on very basic things and he answered everything and more -- provided great context, explanations, and made us feel very comfortable asking any and all questions. He went through everything with great care and thoughtfulness, taking the time to explain, pause for questions, and make sure we understood any implications or safety concerns. Seriously could not recommend ValueGuard and Mike enough! Thank you Mike!!!!
Elisa Cha
Pete was very professional, prompt and on point. He explained how the home inspection process worked. He was also very thorough and detailed going over every thing. He made sure we understood what we were potentially buying. I would definitely recommend asking for him.
imani roberts
Joe topper was so good at explaining the findings in a way that was easy to understand. He was very professional and did a really thorough inspection.
F Brewster
James came to inspect two homes for us within a one week period. He was friendly, extremely informative and exceptionally professional. I learned a great deal about both houses. One needed too much work and the other is perfect for our family. I really appreciate the professionalism of the office staff--Jim, as well as that of my Inspector-James. Great experience as part of buying a new home!
Shloka Joshi
Just completed a home inspection as a first time buyer on a new construction property in Philadelphia. ValueGuard, and specifically, Michael Baltrush, came highly recommended by friends who had bought their first house a few years ago.
I could not be more happy with our decision to use ValueGuard: Michael was phenomenal. He was very receptive to answering questions and providing feedback. He carefully explained what he was looking for and what he found as we moved through the house and his explanations were comprehensive and helpful. He had no trouble managing the site manager who was there during the inspection. Michael also stayed after the end of the inspection to confirm we didn't have extra questions and encourage us to reach out if there were any questions once the report was finalized.
Michael's colleague Matt completed our Radon testing. Matt was also wonderful to work with and it was immediately obvious he was an expert in the field and was incredibly enthusiastic about his work!
The report itself was also fantastic. It was easy to digest and contained an easy summary that I was able to pass on to the builder with items to remediate prior to closing. I will absolutely be completing a re-inspection with ValueGuard towards the end of our 1st year in the home to make sure that we are able to fix any issues covered by our builder's warranty and highly recommend ValueGuard to anyone buying a home!
Mike Beiter
Michael B was our inspector and he showed up early to look at a 100 year old row home in Philly. He already had been on the roof by the time we arrived. He was rigorous in his inspection, leaving nothing taken for granted. He was thorough in his documentation, taking many pictures, and also very patient in describing each situation he encountered, answering all our questions and concerns. Michael's report noted some 75 items, but he was excellent at explaining which items were important and which ones were not so important so that we were able to focus our concerns on the crucial ones. Overall, the inspection took several hours and I would highly recommend him.
Maryanne Hayde
Would highly recommend ValueGuard for your home inspection. They have an easy scheduling process and are able to meet short inspection windows. Our inspector Mike was diligent throughout our inspection and thoughtfully explained what he was doing and seeing throughout the inspection!
Robbie Johnson
We had Cory come out to complete a post-settlement inspection of our new home. He came out early to get started on the outside of the house, was meticulous in looking over every nook and cranny, and was very patient to explain and talk through all of the questions, thoughts, and concerns posed by nervous homeowners. The report they provided is detailed, organized, and easy to understand, and my wife and I feel very comfortable with the actions that we need to take to get our new home in ship-shape for the long haul.
Kaki Burns
ValueGuard is a most ExcellentGuard. From the time we booked our appointment through the inspection process, we were well taken care of. Our inspector, Michael B was great from start to finish. He was extremely thorough and efficient with our time in the space. He did a wonderful job breaking things down for us in terms that we could easily understand in answering all of our questions. #grateful
Rosmi Thomas
Pete did such an excellent job! He was very thorough and you can tell he really cares about his work. He empowers you as a home buyer to know the ins and outs of the home you are buying and takes the time to answer any questions you have. Would absolutely hire him again!
Nikki Nayee
Michael Kelley was my home inspector and I was so happy to have chose him. He was thorough, honest, knowledgeable, and he took his time in explaining everything. I appreciate his work and would most definitely recommend him to anyone looking to inspect a home. Overall, the company was great as well. The website was easy to use and as soon as I booked an appointment I got a call to follow up. Thank you Value Guard!
Peter G
As first-time home buyers, my wife and I were looking to have a thorough home inspection done by a reputable company. We wanted to make sure we weren’t cutting corners by using a company solely based on the cost of the inspection and at the same time, wanted to make sure we weren’t overpaying either. I spoke with a representative of the company who explained in detail the process they go through when they inspect a home and what to expect during the home inspection. I was also provided an example of what their inspection report looks like complete with photos and detailed explanations of the findings. The home inspector assigned to us, Michael Kelley, was great. He showed up promptly to the appointment time scheduled and explained to us what his methodology was for inspecting the entire home. He not only took the time to look over EVERYTHING both outside and inside the home, but he took the time to explain things to us along the way. My wife’s brother had an inspector who inspected his house in an hour and never said one word during the entire inspection. Michael is not one of those guys at all. His report, photos and explanations for his findings were very thorough and we are very thankful to worked with him on the inspection of our first home. Whenever we had questions for him, he took the time to address our concerns and steer us in the right direction towards finding our answers or seeking out additional professionals for a second opinion. Not only was he great during the inspection, but he made himself available days after when I had a few follow up questions. He is a professional in his field with a ton of knowledge and experience that we trusted. We were never in the dark on anything and again, are grateful for his service and highly recommend him for any home inspection project anyone has. Thank you again Michael!!

Michael Baltrush is highly detailed oriented and very knowledgeable. I am a first time homebuyer and he managed to be both thorough and also talk me through the ins and outs of the house. He spends the extra time answering questions and explaining what he’s looking for, the quality of his inspection is so reassuring as I prepare for my first house. Definitely recommend Mike!

My experience with ValueGuard was great.
At intake, Nathan explained the home inspection process and promptly sent all followup emails. He was gracious when I had to cancel the inspection while working through issues with the seller. He quickly got me back on the calendar when I was ready to re-schedule.
The actual inspection was just as good. Joe was on time and explained everything to me, patiently repeating whatever I did not hear due to a bad connection because I was attending remotely. We ended at 3 PM and he got the report to me by 9 AM the next - truly an amazingly quick turnaround.
It was a pleasure working with them.
Karen Robinson
We were very impressed with Mike Bluestein. He took the time to explain the inspection process, the areas he would check, and he answered our questions clearly. He did not rush through, and investigated everything in every room thoroughly, as well as the exterior of the home and the grounds. I felt like he treated the inspection as if he were inspecting his own potential home. He has a great personality and because he's very knowledgeable, experienced and a good communicator, we felt we were in good hands throughout the entire process.
Tess Fox
Mike B. was awesome. Super thorough and took the time to answer any questions/provide advice! Would absolutely recommend!
John Padilla, CRFA, CLTC
Our inspector , Mike B, couldn't have been any better during our new home inspection today. Professional, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable were his attributes. I would HIGHLY recommend Value Guard but especially Mike B for your home inspection.
Christian Constantine
Mike was amazing! He was so thorough and detail oriented. During the home inspection Mike explained everything he was doing and his findings. He took the time to answer all of our questions to ensure we fully understood every aspect of the inspection. Thanks to Mike we are now even more knowledgeable and comfortable about the house we are about to purchase! If you are in need of a home inspection, call ValueGuard and ask for Mike!!
Laura Johnson
This was my first experience buying a home and going through a home inspection. They scheduled the inspection quickly, were on time, thorough, and efficient. The inspector took the time to answer all my questions, point out important things, and explain exactly what it means. Afterwards I feel like I have a good understanding about the home and the best way to maintain, care for or improve it in the future!
Joseph Rosati
Corey was prompt, thorough, and informative during our home inspection. He provided us with an extensive list of items that we can use at our discretion. Having the piece of mind of having an experienced inspector like Corey go through the home was money well spent.
Aaron Ronksley
We had a great experience with Michael Baltrush for our home inspection of our upcoming purchase. Mike was thorough, very knowledgeable, great at explaining items around the home, and very pleasant to work with. The online website was extremely easy to use to schedule the home inspection. My only feedback would be to update the email that requests the customer to "Sign and Pay" to "Please Sign this Consent" since payment had already been completed online prior to receiving that email. Just created some confusion. I would definitely choose and recommend ValueGuard and Mike again, thanks ValueGuard and team for such a wonderful experience!
Adrianna Veneri
We had a home inspection for a house we put an offer on about 2 weeks ago in Delaware county. Michael Kelly was our inspector and he was incredible! Super friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough in his work. Any questions we had, he knew the answer too. I am so glad we through Value Guard for our inspection! I highly recommend, especially for first time buyers. He truly helped educate myself and my boyfriend along the way throughout the inspection which was so appreciative.
Danielle Marmorale
We had Michael Baltrush as our inspector and he was just awesome! As a first time home buyer and really not all that familiar with anything aside from water damage and termites to look for, he explained everything to me as he went from floor to floor. I really appreciated her thoroughness and patience to explain it all to me and the realtor. When booking it was easy and quick to schedule an inspection. I thought their prices were fair. 5 star experience!
John Walsh
Working with ValueGuard to complete my home inspection was a fantastic experience. The team members were as thorough as can be, and were nothing but polite, courteous and made the experience of learning more about my home that much more fun.
Thank you so much - highly recommend ValueGuard to anyone who sees this.
Samantha Hitchner
We worked with Reid at ValueGuard when purchasing our new home this past month. With it being an old Victorian twin built in 1910, we braced ourselves for a rough inspection and based on previous experience with our last home (not with ValueGuard), we didn't have a lot of faith that things would be caught properly. Reid was absolutely amazing! He was thorough (I'm talking physically opened every window), detailed, and happy to provide input. We went through the inspection feeling confident in our house and any of the work that needed to be done as well as a clear understanding of what took precedence and what would just be a good idea. Reid didn't tire of our questions and made the process fun and painless. ValueGuard as a whole was very easy to work with and were always quick with their responses. Scheduling was incredibly easy even though Inspectors are beyond busy currently. I would never get a home inspected with anyone else after this experience.
Sam Trolio
Cory was fantastic to work with! He was thorough, explained his findings to us during the inspection and took time to educate us. He also sent his full report within hours which was much appreciated! Thank you Cory!
melia wyatt
Pete was outstanding the inspection started at 1pm ended at 4pm all the time he took was 100% needed I am a first time-homebuyer so this was incredibly insightful, & knowledgeable very witty to. You “Do Not” come across people who care & Pete k does, I’m sure everyone is wonderful on the team but as a first time-homebuyer Pete hit a special piece of home for my first experience. All in all I would use value guard again.

Nafeesa K Wilson
The home inspection was great. Pete was very thorough with the inspection. He checked out every part of the house. He answered any questions we had. The inspection went very well. It was great working with Pete.
andrew e
This is my first time purchasing a home and I am very very happy with my inspector Michael Bluestein. Let’s start with I tried to get their 30 min earlier for my appointment and he was already their waiting for me and doing his thing outside. Their wasn’t a question I asked that he didn’t have an answer for. Very informational, very professional, and very helpful. He didn’t leave until he answered every question I had and he didn’t rush anything. I will definitely be recommending him to friends and family.
Nola Miles
Called value guard on a Wednesday and they were able to accommodate me for Saturday. We needed an inspection on a home my husband and I are planning to purchase. We had Michael who was excellent. He checked out everything including roof, moisture level in basement, water pressure, windows, just to name a few. He even checked out the attic with the pull downstairs, which I did not want to do. LOL! I would highly recommend them and I plan on using them again to do my own home inspection before selling my current home.
Terry Hyslop
Very thorough inspection with a very detailed report and quick scheduling. Great customer explanations and they were available for questions.
Elizabeth Witte
ValueGuard made scheduling our Home, Radon, and Termite inspection so easy. Their website was easy to use and the customer service was impeccable - as soon as we booked online we received a call right away. Mike was absolutely amazing as our home inspector! As future new homeowners he explained everything in great detail, encouraged us to ask as many questions as we wanted, and made sure we understood each and every part of the house. He definitely put us at ease and gave us a non-biased, direct response about aspects of the house that were worth looking into or needed more attention without alarming us. I would absolutely recommend ValueGuard to anyone - especially to new homeowners!
Jenn Roche
Thorough, patient, and trustworthy home inspectors. I needed an inspection for a very old house and was so pleased with the service. Mike walked us through every detail and we felt so comfortable asking any questions. Look no further for companies - they are the best!
Amit
Joe was fantastic at calming my nerves as a first time home buyer while walking through the house inspection
Henry Gonzalez
Had a great experience with Value Guard. Scheduling was easy, payment was very straight forward and our inspector was very thourough which I aprpreciated very much. Took his time to explain and document everything. Will definitely be using Value Guard on my next property.
Jasmine Watts
Michael Baltrush was absolutely exceptional! He checked the house thoroughly during the home and termite inspection. He clearly explained what he saw throughout the house, what it meant, how it could affect the house, etc.
I also loved that he answered all of my questions and thoroughly broke down some home inspection/house terms that allowed me to gain a better understanding of what he was talking about in regard to the inspection and the house.
He was kind, professional, and innovative! I say innovative because he used a drone and I had never seen someone use one for a home inspection, but regardless that was pretty cool! Overall, his attention to detail is fantastic!
When he arrived he was ready to go and introduced himself. If you’re looking for an exceptional home inspector I recommend Michael Baltrush 10/10. I had a wonderful experience with him and this is my first time with Value Guard. I will definitely continue using their services in the future. Look no further for a proper home inspector! Value Guard is the place to get an exceptional home inspector! Thank you again Mike!
Elizabeth L
We hired ValueGuard for our first home inspection prior to purchasing in July 2020. I have already recommended them to other folks because we had a wonderful experience with our inspector Jason. Jason arrived before we did on the day of the inspection and did a great job- he took his time and was at the house more than 3 hours carefully looking things over. The inspector caught several things that we negotiated to have repaired, and otherwise allowed us to buy our home with a thorough understanding of the things we would need to repair and update over time. In comparison we had a friend who brought a house around the same time and used another company that did a brief 2 hour inspection and missed several major issues. Can't say enough good things about this company and Jason, would absolutely recommend to anyone and use them again if needed some day!
Moni E
ValueGuard did an excellent job for my home, radon, and wood insect inspection. They provided detailed reports in a short turn around. Mike Bluestein was very thorough and I learned quite a bit about homes as well from him. Definitely recommend, especially Mike Bluestein.
Sarah Hines
Our inspector, Mike, was extremely thorough. As a first time home buyer he explained everything he saw to us in detail and helped us feel confident in the home we are purchasing. He was very friendly and took the time to answer all our questions. Highly recommend.
Loe Smith
Peter!!! So thorough and detailed. Educated me on things I did not know but definitely needed to. He spoke with our builder to make sure we got questions answered quickly. If I buy more property I will request him by name. 5 stars ⭐️ and then some
Margo DelliCarpini
I’ve purchased several homes in NY, Kentucky, and Texas and I have never dealt with a more thorough or more knowledgeable home inspector. Joe’s attention to detail was amazing, his patience in answering my questions reassuring, and the overall experience left me confident that he had uncovered any issues with the home. I highly recommend Joe Topoer and Valueguard inspections
Annette Thies
Cory was thorough and took time to explain what he was doing. He answered all my questions. Very professional
Gabriel Migala
Thorough, efficient, helpful and knowledgeable. Joe was awesome and the inspection process couldn’t have gone more smoothly.
Steven Ackerman
From the start, ValueGuard was nothing but professional and courteous. Nathan was incredibly helpful in scheduling my appointment and answering my questions. Mike was our inspector. Mike did a fantastic job inspecting the older home we were planning to purchase. His attention to detail was impressive. He also took the time throughout the inspection to help us understand what he was observing and what it all meant. We came away from the inspection with strong piece of mind that we were fully aware of any and all potential issues with the property and could plan our next steps accordingly. I highly recommend ValueGuard.
George Coleman
Robert was thorough and professional in his inspection. He took the time to explain in detail problems that existed and what could and should be done. Very professional.
Hayes Phay
Joe was fantastic! He walked us through the inspection process for our first home and explained everything throughly.
A Herb
Michael Baltrush did an amazing job with our new home inspection. He made sure we understood each aspect of our inspection, and continuously asked if we had questions. We appreciated him showing us some of the major functions in the house and how they can be shut off or down if need be. I would totally recommend him for any home inspection. For a first time home buyer, he was greatly appreciated for his honesty to any and all repairs so we could move accordingly. Thank you again.
Brandon Davis
Joe Topper was excellent! Thoroughly inspected the house and made it super easy to follow along and understand what was going on! I feel more at ease with such a large purchase!
Side note: the paper stock on your business cards is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!! Love it! Great touch!
PackSun
I had my home inspected by Michael Baltrush. He was on time, professional, and seemed very knowledgeable on all aspects of the home. He answered all of my questions and did a thorough inspection. I would highly recommend ValueGuard to my friends!
Lanora Williams
I decided to use this company for my new home inspection. Service was great all the way around from the time I made the call. Inspection appointment was very fast, and inspection report was available next day. Jason was my inspector and he was great, communicative, provided great feedback and suggestions and very knowledgeable, well trained and knew everything to look out for during the inspection. Jason pointed out everything that we should be aware of inside and outside of the home. Would highly recommend.
Martin Li
We are so lucky to have Michael Baltrush as our inspector. He is super knowledgeable , professional and more importantly he cares about us. As a first home buyer, we know very little about the potential issue in a home and Michael is very patience to explain everything to us. With his help, we are more confident about what will get and learn a lot in 2-3 hours inspection period. The overall experience with valueguard is awesome too! . The coordinators are very friendly and the termite inspector called us ahead of time to make sure everything get arranged well . Highly recommend Michael and value Guard. I feel they are standing on our back and give us a peace of mind! Can not thank you more Mike. You are the best of the best!!! :)
Becca D
Joe was a fantastic inspector, really took the time to focus on a few issues I had and discussed potential remedies and such. He's very knowledgeable and helpful, really glad I had him out to help me make good decisions about this potential home purchase. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for inspection services!
Kevin Rabinowitz
Joe performed my home inspection. As a first time home buyer I wasn't sure what to expect. He was professional, friendly, informative, and responsive to questions. He seemed to really know what he was doing and performed a thorough inspection.
Aran Hart
Don't look anywhere else for your home inspection! Michael Kelley was outstanding, not once but TWICE as he helped us first decide NOT to move forward on one home because of his expert analysis and detailed examination... then gave us confidence to say YES to the second home we decided to buy.
Beginning with the very timely and professional response for a quote and scheduling via Yelp, the ValueGuard made the process very efficient and informative for us being first time home-buyers.
Then, we got the pleasure in having Michael Kelley arrive (early!) and he was the pure definition of professional and thorough. You could tell he takes great pride in his job and is also very good at explaining details uncovering all aspects (good and bad) about the home. We looked at two homes, one in the city and in the suburbs so Michael’s expertise is apparent in both.
Lastly, we were provided a great inspection report with pictures, timeline, unofficial estimates and recommendations when a contractor should look further into potential issues which needed further examination. On-site Michael walked us through every aspect of the home and we learned so much because of him.
HIGHLY recommend ValueGuard and if you’re fortunate to have Michael Kelley you are in great hands.
Katie Menschner
I highly recommend using ValueGuard. They have been extremely responsive and easy to work with. Michael B. did an excellent job with our home inspection. He was extremely professional and friendly. I appreciate that he took the time to clearly explain everything and answered all of my questions. As a first time homebuyer, ValueGuard made this part of the process less stressful.
Jennifer Dasti
Michael was absolutely amazing! As a new home owner the process sounded intimidating. He took the time to explain everything in an understandable manner and I felt heard. He also took his time and examined everything thoroughly throughout the whole inspection. I felt much more confident and that I had a new understanding of what to look for as a new owner. I highly recommend ValueGuard for their knowledge and help.
Joseph Pasternack
Cory met us on site and had already gotten a head start with the inspection process. He was thorough, attentive, communicative, pleasant and all around a pleasure to work with. I will be using their services again in the future and will absolutely recommend them to family and friends.
Mark Greenfield
Great experience with our inspection. Very prompt with returning the full report. Very detailed and thorough, as well as clear about what items are more or less important and easier to fix. Summary at beginning of report is useful for home purchase negotiations, and full detailed report gives peace of mind that everything was checked. Very professional, happy to answer questions, responsive via text. Helpful descriptions and images. I will plan to work with them again for my next home purchase and would highly recommend them.
JD Dunn
I am a 1st time home buyer and recently had a great experience with ValueGuard. Mike B. was friendly and highly knowledgeable. He answered any/all questions I had regarding the inspection and had patience in explaining the (many) things that I didn’t quite understand. I would recommend ValueGaurd to any prospective first-time home buyer, or to anyone who wishes to have a thorough and informative home inspection completed.
James Lubin
Robert and Tyler were thorough and knowledgeable. The inspection report that came back was detailed, well organized, and contained many pictures. I'm not handy and I'm a first time homebuyer, so they took the time to explain everything. Highly recommend.
Lashonda Ladson
Mike was our inspector. He arrived on time, was professional, knowledgeable, and overall good company. His inspection was extremely detailed and he took time to explain important "need to know" info and answer any questions. As a first time homebuyers, I needed to have reliable info from a trusted source and Mike surpassed my expectations. I received the report ( detailed with pictures and cost estimates) the next business day. Mike said he has 20+ years experience, this was evident... Thanks.
Also, the appt was set up fast! I called on Friday spoke with Jim ( who was kind and attentive), he was able to set up an appt for Saturday 9:30am and connected with my realtor to share the info 😊
Chauntey Johnson
I had the pleasure of having Michael Bluestein as my inspector. From the time that I got out of my vehicle until we parted ways, he was very kind, courteous, and ultra professional. Before he began the inspection, he spoke to me about any concerns or questions I had. He told me what he would be doing and invited me to walk around with him and ask any questions I had. He took the time to point out things to me and his explanations were very clear and detailed. He didn’t rush and he was never annoyed and I had a lot of questions.
I felt like a valued customer and that was comforting to me. He was very knowledgeable and thorough and I am more than satisfied. I received my report the next day and it outlined all of the work Michael did. I was never disappointed. If you are considering buying a house you cannot go wrong with Valueguard.. From the time I booked my appointment to the time I received my report, I was treated well, any questions I had were answered in a timely manner and I was treated with respect throughout the entire process.
GO WITH VALUEGUARD!!!!!
Herbert Brown
Value Guard has done an amazing job inspecting the house I’m looking to purchase. Michael Baltrush have a excellent eye when it comes to inspection. Michael was very informative. That’s the type of level of expertise I like. I would highly recommend anyone to use Value Guard. I will be using their service again soon!
Kathryn Schisselbauer
I've worked with ValueGuard many times through work so when it came to purchasing my own home I made sure to work with Mike and the ValueGuard team. The inspection was thorough and Mike walked us through every step of the way, explaining what he was looking for and what we should expect. The report came back detailed and easy to understand. Highly recommend and will certainly use ValueGuard again!
Theresa Kennedy
Cory was amazing! Highly recommend. Very knowledgeable and great at explaining things! Very thorough as well.
Customer Care Services
Mike was really pleasant to work with. He was on time and very nice. I had absolutely no idea what to expect as I am a first time home buyer but he made sure to explain everything to me and asked multiple times if I had any questions. He was patient with me and explained everything step by step. Definitely recommend using this company for your next service
Alice van Ravenswaay
Mike has now inspected two homes for us and it was a wonderful experience both times. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and was very good at explaining things so we could understand them. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
Sarah Forti
I'm a Realtor with 16 years in the business. ValueGuard is on my short list of inspectors I share with home Buyers and Sellers because the inspectors and the office personnel are thorough, responsive, and they have great availability when a client needs inspections done quickly. Buyers use them to inspect a home before they commit to a purchase, and Sellers use them to make sure there aren't any major defects they are unaware of. There is one time in particular I called ValueGuard to do a last-minute inspection in King of Prussia on Christmas Eve. We called them on 12/23 and one of their agents was kind enough to take on the appointment. Unfortunately on the 24th, that inspector got in a car accident (he was OK)... and with just 2 hours' notice, one of his fellow inspectors, DAVE BOLLINGER stepped up in a HUGE way and did the inspection on Christmas Eve! Like many people that day, Dave was probably trying to enjoy some holiday down time, but when he heard about this situation, he jumped in his car and met us at the house. If it wasn't for Dave stepping up, my Buyers would not have gotten the house, for sure. We were all so grateful for Dave going above and beyond. He did a thorough inspection with a smile on his face, which make the Buyers happy, which made me happy, the listing agents happy, and the home Sellers happy. It was a great reminder of why ValueGuard remains on our short list of inspectors we share with home buyers and sellers. ValueGuard has helped clients of ours in Newtown Square, Wallingford, Wayne, Conshohocken, King of Prussia, Malvern, Ardmore, Havertown and beyond! Their professionalism, knowledge, and the fact they care about those they are assisting really shows. THANK YOU to the team at ValueGuard for always taking care of us! - Sarah Forti, Forti Homes with Keller Williams Realty
Karla Garnes
Mike was extremely patient and very informative. He took his time and went over the house thoroughly. I felt he took his time and answered all my questions. I would recommend him and this agency.
La’Shay M
I had Michael do my inspection today and he was amazing! Very thorough and he explained everything and gave very good advice. He was honest, professional and left a very good impression on my realtor who is now going to be using him for her future clients. I will definitely be using this company again and be sure to ask for Michael Baltrush!
Adam Graham
So this was my first time having a home inspection, so I wasn' sure whgat too expect. I found ValueGuard by searching the internet and reading reviews. With such great reviews I scheduled an appointment online. The next day I received a call from Jim at their office too get a little more info from me and he was also kind enough to tell me that I had overlooked a discount by booking online. He went ahead and refunded my card the difference!!
My appointment was scheduled for 9 on a Saturday and Mike, my inspector, showed up on time. He was very professional introducing himself and explaining how the inspection process unfolds. Since this was my first inspection, I don't have much too compare with, but Mike was very precise in his inspection not overlooking any detail. While he was there he kindly answered all my questions and concerns I had. I felt like Mike went above and beyond his job and I can't say enough nice things about him or ValueGuard. I would surely recommend them too anyone needing a thorough home inspection with such a professional group of employees.
Milcah “Milcah”
Pete was very through and knowledgeable about a home inspection. I would recommend him to anyone!
Jon Applewhite
We worked with Mike Pistor and were very impressed with how thorough he was. He took his time to walk us through and answer any questions we had. He also has a sneaky sense of humor which made the time go by quickly. I would use ValueGuard in the future and recommend Mike for your inspection needs.
Steve Joran
ValueGuard was one of the best decisions we made in our home buying purchase. They were extremely responsive. It probably took less than 10 min from talking on the phone, to getting a quote, scheduling an inspection, and confirming with the inspector.
Our home inspector, Mike Baltrush, was excellent. As my wife and I are both first time home buyers, he took the time to explain exactly what to expect to occur during a home inspection. He took us room by room and pointed out everything noteworthy and answered all of our questions. We used ValueGuard as a bundle for the home, termite, and radon inspection and are extremely happy we did. The report was sent to us the morning after the inspection and was very professionally prepared and extremely easy to follow. We would highly recommend ValueGuard to anyone in the market for a home inspection!
Matt Caggiano
Mike and the team were very thorough and took the time to explain how all major functions of the home work!
Nick Andris
Pete did such a great job talking us through all the parts of our home that needed attention. We knew next to nothing about home improvement so it was fantastic to have an enthusiastic Sherpa on the journey. Pete loves his job and treated us great.
Shawn Sandherr
Jason Liszkiewicz did a fantastic job with my home inspection. He found every single thing that was wrong with the home inside and out. I avoided buying a home that was very overpriced based on the poor renovations he pointed out. He was also very patient with the extremely rude sellers agent that told us to cut our inspection short multiple times because we were taking longer than they wanted us to. He was so thorough and professional and I believe I the service he provided was worth way more than the cost of the inspection. His knowledge and willingness to answer all of my questions during the inspection far exceeded my expectations. I will definitely try to use him for every home inspection I do in the future.
Danica Stone
Mike was excellent! I highly recommend him for any first time home buyer. Doing an inspection for the first time can be very intimidating, but Mike was very thorough and did a great job of explaining everything to us. He was early for our appointment and walked us through everything. 10/10 would recommend and definitely use him again!
Constance Besnier
Reid from ValueGuard was extremely professional and explained all the process very clearly. Every corner of the house was carefully looked at and the recommendations made very detailed.
Highly recommend ValueGuard's services for home inspection.
annaihpark
I highly recommend Cory. He examined every corner of the house and provided a thorough explanation along the way. All questions were answered in a professional and friendly manner. His report was well organized with details and images. Excellent experience all around!
Monica Montgomery
My home inspector was amazing and really gave me a blueprint for the ins and outs of my home and what it needs for optimal functioning. Michael answered all my questions sent a detailed report and showed me spaces for immediate action versus taking my time with cosmetic repairs. I am first time homebuyer and they took time with me, listened and showed they cared about me and my 🏡 Highlh reccomend Value guard, past present and future.
Julia Carboni
Super professional service - Jason Liszkiewicz conducted our inspection on our new home and he was very thorough. He arrived early and started the inspection before we even got to the house and was very informative throughout the whole inspection, providing his recommendations and insight on some of the problem areas we encountered. We received his report the following day and it was super thorough, with pictures for every issue we encountered. I would definitely recommend this company for others seeking high quality inspections.
Nicole Pollard
I without a doubt recommend working with Pete Kuryluk. His warm spirit and knowledge about homes, particularly old ones, was exactly what I was hoping for. I walked through the whole inspection with him (besides the roof), and every step of the way he took his time to provide clear and useful information about each of my home's needs. While of course there is some work to be done, he left me feeling calm, empowered, and actually more in love with my home by the end of it. If you're looking for someone who will take the time to make sure you understand everything included in the report, Pete is your guy!
Aloysia Beaulieu
Purchased my first home, and having this inspection was so so helpful. Michael was kind and walked me through every detail. He answered every question and explained everything thoroughly. Keith, who came to do the radon testing, was also great. I honestly had no idea what the testing entailed and he explained to me what radon was and what would need to be done if it came back too high I feel much more confident and excited now purchasing this home!! 100% would recommend to anyone going through this process.
Clark Kim
My wife and I just purchased a house and used Valueguard Home Inspections to inspect our house during closing. Michael Baltrush, the inspector, came out and was very professional, courteous, and informative.
From start to finish, the entire process took about 2.5 hours for us. During the inspection, Michael emphasized what repairs were important and what repairs ought to be done, in time. He took pictures to document everything; also, he used a drone to get a clear view of our roof from a bird’s eye view.
If I ever buy again, I would definitely use Valueguard again. They’re thorough, efficient, and most importantly, reasonably priced. Michael really put our minds at ease as a first time home buyer.
Pia Blumenthal
We worked with Robert Reilly, who was incredibly thorough in his assessment. He also took the time to answer all of our questions and provided advisement to us as first time home buyers. In the end, he provided us with a detailed list of issues to address by severity and included price estimates as well. Would highly recommend!
Susan D. Smythe
Home buying inspection
We had a great experience with ValueGuard - both on the phone to schedule, and during the pre-sale home inspection. The visit was easy and quick to schedule - they had all the details of the house on hand, and Mike was a careful and thoughtful and thorough inspector - providing us with valuable information with which to finalize a major buying decision.
Helen Powell
Jason Liszkiewicz performed an inspection of a home we were buying. He took his time doing the inspection and was happy to discuss any issues he found and make suggestions for potential repairs. He is very knowledgeable about many aspect of home maintenance and was happy to share this with us. His final report was very detailed and we feel good making the purchase of the home knowing what issues will be the most important to tackle first.
Mike Force
I would absolutely recommend Mike at ValueGuard to any of my friends or family who are looking to purchase a home in the near future for their home inspections. Mike was extremely thorough throughout the entire inspection and made everything very easy to understand for us. He made the home inspection portion of this home buying experience much less stressful and I truly thank him for that.

Pete K was AMAZING. full stop. We are nervous first time home buyers and not only did Pete spend hrs meticulously inspecting our 1200 ft house, he also gave us a bunch of tips on basic home improvement. Super knowledgable and we learned a-lot. Would 100% recommend to friends and family.
Septima Simpkins
I used Mike twice now and he is absolutely amazing. He was extremely detailed and very knowledgeable. As we walked through the property he made sure to answer all of my questions and he explained literally everything to me. Mike also let me know who and what services I would need in order to fix things later and he find any question stupid or inadequate. I would use them, specifically Mike again for any future inspections!

As someone who rarely writes reviews, I felt it necessary to comment on the services delivered by ValueGuard, specifically Jason Liszkiewicz, for our home inspection. For starters, Jason arrived early to prepare the inspection (he even beat us there and we were 15 minutes early). The review was unbelievably thorough and detailed. He walked us through each room inside the home as well as the exterior of the home, the patio, and the roof (despite it sleeting that day). He explained the defects and level of severity. He would even note when something was technically acceptable but not best practice. His professionalism, insight, and level of detail were top notch. Not to mention, his write-up reflected all the details and included photos and recommendations. I wouldn't hesitate to use ValueGuard and Jason again. Highly recommended to anyone buying a home (in our case it was our first and we're from out of town, so this was even more important)!

Our home inspector Mike Kelley was very thorough and detail with the inspection. He took pictures and explained everything as we did a walk through around the house. Would highly recommend to first time home buyers!

We used valueguard for a home inspection for what will be our first home. I dont know about the company or any other inspectors but Jason Liszkiewicz was incredible!! He was thorough, educational and spent so much time and care! I learned about housing structure and maintenance during the course of his inspection and feel much more prepared for home ownership. We were able to use his detailed inspection report to negotiate the price of a home we are looking to purchase.
He was personable, respectful and professional. I can not recommend him highly enough.
Miska Shaw
I had a good experience with Pete on inspection day. Thorough, friendly and seemed very knowledgeable. I would recommend.
Corey Wertz
Great experience. Helped educate and clarify items. They were on time and prompt too.
Carla Gobantes
The service from ValueGuard was exceptional! Mike Kelley thoroughly looked at every nook and cranny of the home and let me know things I should be aware of, look out for, and any possible major issues. As a first time homebuyer, this was beyond my expectations! I would definitely recommend!
Zachary Marshall
Michael Kelley completed the pre-purchase inspection on a 150 year-old rowhome that I'm purchasing as a first time home buyer. Over the course of three hours, he walked through every inch of the house and took time to fully explain every piece of equipment, potential defect, estimated cost, and remaining potential future repairs of the home to me. He took time to answer every single one of my questions and made sure at the end that I had no further concerns before we were finished. He was on-time and respectful to the current homeowner's possessions. He was incredibly knowledge about each of the structures and appliances in the home, and he is clearly passionate about his work. I wouldn't hesitate to use Mike's services again in the future for my next home. Payment was quick through their online portal, and prices were very reasonable compared to the time he was at the property and to other local companies.

I had such a great experience working with ValueGuard Home Inspections. Michael was so kind and thorough. He explained everything to me as we went along and was happy to answer any questions I had. Thank you for such a great experience for my first home!
Liz Yanak
ValueGuard was so easy to work with and schedule our home inspection appointment. Mike inspected the home for us, and we couldn't have asked for a better inspector. He was very informative during the inspection, and his write up very thorough. This is our second time using ValueGuard, and we were very happy/relieved we choose them again. Highly recommend!
tyler cook
We had the pleasure of having Mike inspect our home. He was super knowledgeable and we could tell he did a very thorough job inspecting everything inside and outside of the house. He was super kind and answered any questions that we had. I would highly recommend valueguard for home inspections.
Jay Darji
Michael was very thorough in his inspection and took the time to explain things, which was invaluable as a first time home buyer. He was very knowledgeable about the process, and answered every question that I had. The report was completed and sent that same evening, and was easy to read. I would highly recommend ValueGuard to anyone looking for a great home inspector and reliable service at a reasonable cost.
Katie Reed
We had a wonderful experience with ValueGuard home inspections. The home inspectors were very informative and professional and were simply nice guys to be around. I felt totally confident with their inspection of our newly purchased home and I would highly recommend to anyone who is in need of a home inspection company. Thank you Value Guard!!
Nagisa Yano
Michael was professional and knowledgeable. He took time to answer all my questions and investigate every concern I had around the house. It was truely an educational experience. Even though this inspection took place after we bought the house, I’m really glad we did it for the peace of mind and for creating a solid list of items we need to take care of.
Bill McQuade
I got a home inspection by Mike from Value Guard. We arrived 10 minutes early and he had already had the roof done. He provided pictures and detailed explanations of what he was doing, why he was doing it and things we may need to do before moving forward with the purchase of our house. He was very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend using them.
Tariq Thachil
Steven Haslem was a wonderful inspector. Due to the pandemic, he was willing to do the inspection with our broker, who kept him on Zoom the entire inspection. First he did an incredibly thorough job, taking well over three hours for the inspection. He went through each part of the house carefully, and compiled a comprehensive and easy to read report. Second, he was really excellent about talking to us through the inspection. He explained what he was seeing in simple terms for us non-experts to understand. He also did a great job of distinguishing what were more or less important concerns during the inspection itself, which made reading the report more important. He was extremely responsive and took the time to speak with us over the phone when we had questions. Overall, he was a fabulous inspector and we would totally recommend him to another buyer!
Adam M
Pete saved us from making a huge mistake and saved us thousand tens of dollars had we gone through with the house purchase. 5 stars. Very honest and very knowledgeable
Christen Sedlak
I had Jason as my inspector and he was fantastic. I am a first time home buyer and he really helped me through the process. He was knowledgeable and explained all of his concerns in layman’s terms. He was incredibly thorough and had a full, detailed report available for me less than 24 hours after the inspection. I would recommend this company to anyone! Thank you!
Yvesmark Chery
I absolutely recommend!! I was searching for a company to do a home inspection for me and use google to narrow down my options. All the reviews are spot on! I experienced firsthand the promptness and professionalism of the inspector. Michael was very patient and took his time to answer all my questions! 5/5 for sure!
Sarah L
We used ValueGuard for a home inspection as we are buying a home. Mike was our home inspector and he was absolutely wonderful. He explained everything as he went along and answered all of my (many) questions thoroughly. It is our first time buying a home and Mike took the time to make sure we understood everything. We are very happy with the whole experience.
Kim Gilmore
My first experience with ValueGuard was fabulous. Was up front about being a first-time home buyer, and Mike really looked out for me and was incredible at communicating the inspection process, and explaining to me what he was looking for and at throughout the inspection.
Julie Davidson
Michael Baltrush came to a home we were considering purchasing and I could not be happier. He was thorough, considerate, detailed, available for questions after the inspection...everything you would want from a home inspector!
Would highly recommend for any home inspection.
Allie Shipley
Upon recommendation from our agent, I reached out to ValueGuard first thing on a Monday morning after a long holiday weekend to inquire about a home inspection on a property we were purchasing. Fully expecting at least a half a day before getting some response, I had been contacted about setting up my appointment within 30 minutes! The pricing was great, the customer service rep was friendly, professional, and very informative about any questions I had being a first time homebuyer and not knowing much about the process. Fast forward to the following weekend and our inspector Michael Baltrush was AMAZING! He walked us through the entire process top to bottom, answered any questions we had about his findings in real time as he proceeded with the inspection, and even welcomed us to contact him afterwards if we had any questions about the report (which we received within 48 hours!) and he'd be happy to discuss.
I'd highly recommend working with ValueGuard, their staff is great, their reports were very informative, and their customer service is stellar!
John Ferguson
Mike came out and was on time, very polite, and extremely knowledgeable about everything. I felt like he explained everything very well to us and feel completely confident in his assessment of the property we are about to purchase. I would highly recommend working with them to anybody.
Georgios Tsoflias
Mike B. at ValueGuard deserves each one of these five starts, and then some. Mike conducted an inspection for a home I am purchasing and he was thorough, attentive, and took time and care to explain his findings and answer my (many) questions. I would strongly recommend ValueGuard, and, specifically, Mike, if you are in need of an inspection.
Kevin Murphy
As a first-time homebuyer, I was very impressed by the thoroughness and general demeanor of our inspector (Michael Baltrush). He was very friendly and forthcoming and took time to explain everything as he was going along, including giving us basic maintenance tips and things to look for in the future. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new home inspection in the Philly area.
Teresa Gero
Michael Pistor was our inspector and as first time home buyers we did a ton of research ahead of time and chose Mike based on his experience and previous reviews. We were not at all disappointed and our expectations were exceeded by the quality and thoroughness of his work. He took so much time with us and explained everything in terms we could understand. He was courteous and kind and helped to put us at ease during what could have been a very stressful experience. I am so grateful and would highly recommend to anyone.
Jenny H
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, professional, explained everything in a manner I could understand. Robert was on time, friendly, and very respectful of the property (he didn't even let his shoes touch the floors.) I'm not sure what else you would want in a home inspection. I highly recommend ValueGuard. I'll return to them if I need help in the future.
Amanda Campbell
We utilized ValueGuard for our home, termite, and radon inspections and were so happy with the services provided. Michael was extremely helpful, professional, and we absolutely felt like we were in good hands. Services were easy to book, our report was sent within one business day, and Michael walked us through each step of the process. We highly recommend ValueGuard!
Patricia Nunes Rodrigues Peselli
Michael Bluestein was amazing, super attentive to all the details and also give a lecture about all the house. I really loved it!! They are also super quick in deliver the inspection report I got mine at the same day.
Cheryl Kreisher
I highly, highly recommend ValueGuard Home Inspections. They exceeded my expectations. The inspector was prompt, incredibly informative, and extremely thorough. They sent the reports the next business day. The information I received is enormously valuable and very clearly described. Excellent work in every regard. Much appreciated!
Larry Millard
Cory Shalaway was recommended as a very thorough home inspector and he is. He carefully and methodically spent time to investigate
the nature of the house we have now gotten to the final stages of purchasing. Cory Shalaway opened our eyes to a number of aspects of the house and surrounding grounds that we were truly unaware. His clarity of vision, notation of detail, and ample, clear report made the whole experience workable, understandable, and compelled us to make an adjusted offer that covered a number of the short-comings of the property of which we alone could not be aware. Bravo for a job well done!
Cory Shalaway is a real master inspector!
Zach Ross
We are very pleased with our home inspection! It had amazing detail and helped us so much with our home buying experience. The inspector, Reid, was very informative on each phase of the inspection and was so patient with us! He was the best part of our home buying experience!! I would recommend ValueGuard to everyone! Our realtor told us they were the best and we agree!!
Carolann Kapuscinski
We chose Value Guard on the advise of a family member who had used them recently. We were very pleased with the whole process. It was easy to set up the appointment. Our inspector, Mike Baltrush was prompt, very professional and answered every question we had as he took his time inspecting the property we were buying. The report was in our email the next day with the observations itemized and photographed. We also got radon and termite inspection scheduled and performed. Very prompt results. I highly recommend Mike and Value Guard.
Tim Lynch
Using ValueGuard Home Inspections was by far the best decision we've made in a very long time. They are thorough, help you get a better understanding on the current state of your home and offered advice on next steps. I would highly recommend the the team at ValueGuard Home Inspections.
Vicky Ballard
I highly recommend Mike Baltrush at ValueGuard for a home inspection. He first did a home inspection for us eight years ago when purchasing our primary residence. Based on his professionalism and attention to detail I’ve since hired him twice more for inspections of other properties, and continue to be impressed. I wouldn’t hire anyone else!
Zachary Baldock
Very pleased with the service that I received from ValueGuard! Michael showed up on time and performed a very thorough inspection of my home. Additionally, he did a great job of informing me about the different areas within my home and the normal functioning and maintenance required, while also being incredibly nice and professional throughout the appointment. Would highly recommend both ValueGuard and Michael to anyone seeking inspection services.
CAROL CURTIS
I had a pre-purchase home inspection . My inspector was quite pleasant and very curtious. He called me over and showed me how things were working and why they were important and why they are being inspected. Answered all my questions with patience and in a way I understood. I never had a complete immersive experience. I was thoroughly educated and was encouraged to ask questions. I would definitely use them again and as a first time home buyer, I was confident
of what I was buying. I would recommend them to anyone that was buying a home. You want to ask for Mike!!!
Matthew Herber
Fantastic experience with Valueguard! Home inspection appointment made online, received a text soon after to confirm the appointment and services. Mike Baltrush was extremely thorough and talked through every detail with me. He was an official drone operator so was able to inspect the roof very easily. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience as new homeowners. Experienced, professional, and patient.
Carla Sheppard
Communication is a BIG thing with me! Communication with ValueGuard Home Inspections was excellent from start to finish! They answered the telephone when I called! They scheduled a home inspection within days of the date called. They arrived on the scheduled date and completed the scheduled inspection. Although the inspection was scheduled for a Saturday and Monday was a Federal holiday, my detailed, e-mailed report, pictures included, was received via e-mail early Monday morning, for my review. All communication was informative, professional and greatly appreciated! Costs were reasonable! I would not only highly recommend this company to others, I would use them again, myself! Thank you for delivering such EXCELLENT service! You deserve the 5 stars that I've given you! Keep up the good work!
Caroline Park
This was the second time working with Mike Kelley from Valueguard; he did a home inspection for us three years ago and the second inspection a few months ago. He’s unbelievably thorough which as a buyer is much appreciated. He explained things as he went and was very patient about answering any questions. Going from buying a new construction house to a 100+ year old house, any knowledge he imparted was very helpful. Very pleasant to work with and knows what he’s doing. Highly recommend!
Ken Lubiski
We had a home inspection for a house we were purchasing. Mike was our inspector and he was fantastic. Very detailed inspection if the whole house while providing us with great explanations for the findings as we went through the house together. The inspection report was generated by the next day with an extensive amount detail. I would definetely recommend ValueGuard based on my experience.
Alison Roseberry-Polier
Mike was great! Took the time to explain everything in detail and without jargon. Also let us know about things that weren’t issues for a report but were just good to know about. He was very thorough and double checked everything we had questions about.
Laura Mar
Pete was awesome. Very detailed and communicative. He clearly puts a lot of attention and care into his work - It was very reassuring to go thru this process with him. Highly recommended!!!
Hyden Zhang
My inspector was Jason, and I'm very happy with my home inspection. He was polite and patient, and his thorough report arrived the next day. We have a lot of clutter that made the inspection more difficult but he was gracious about our clutter and was able to check hard to reach places and get clear photos of the potential trouble spots. I'll be calling him first for future home inspections. Also, thanks to the guy who I talked to on the phone (Nathan I think?) for kindly helping me get the inspection on short notice.
SuperCutePuppy
I absolutely recommend Value Guard for home inspections, especially if you are a first time home owners such as my husband and I. Our inspector, Robert Reilly, was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and very thorough with his inspection. I am very pleased with everything!
Stephen Lunger
Wonderful experience working with the team member Mike. He was courteous, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend these services for anyone interested in a fair, honest assessment of their home.
Zig Zeller
Mike Kelly was, in a word, PERFECT for our needs. He arrived early for the appointment, invited us to hang with him through the entire inspection, then spent 4 and a half hours doing the most comprehensive inspection I have ever seen (and this is our TENTH purchase of a home). He is meticulous, systematic, and thorough. He is also a good teacher- he explained every step and ehen things weren’t right told us how corrective neasures could be taken, and when an expert’s input was needed, ( roofer, pliimber, electrician, chimney specialist) he let you know. He separated the eheat from the chaff, and his verbal summary id fully detsiled and broken down to important findings vs minor findings. We have not received the sritten report, since the inspection was just yesterday, but we selected Mike Zjelly only sfter reading one of his reviews on snother home we toured, which was 79 pages, including photos but also “ the degrees of importance” of each finding.
Mike does not miss a thing! Every light, switch, outlet was tested, every appliance was run snd proven, he climbed up on the roof, crawled into the deepest corners of the attic and crawl spaces, and did not act at all hurried. He was patient and placed our satisfaction as his highest priority. He has a great sense of humor, was fun ( at times reminds me of Jim Carrey!) but takes his job seriously.
In summary, look no further- it just doesn’t get any better than Mike Kelly of Value Guard!
Tarae Gregory
Mike our inspector was awesome! It was our 1st home inspection and he encouraged questions and explained things to us. Very thorough and he took his time and hit every inch of the house top and bottom! Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Kristen Cornforth
The ValueGuard team made the home inspection experience seamless for my fiancé and I as first time home buyers. Corey, Randall and Chase were friendly and thorough, making us feel comfortable and leaving us knowledgeable of our home commitments. Would highly recommend.
David Cole
We recently used ValueGuard for our home inspection and would recommend them completely to anyone needing a home inspection. Michael Baltrush was fantastic. He explained everything thoroughly and worked with our schedule perfectly. A typically stressful step of the process was made much less so with Michael working on the inspection. 5 stars!
Lauren Crouch
ValueGuard was recommended to me by a friend who is a realtor in the city. Setting up an appointment online was super easy. My inspection was completed by Michael Baltrush. He was extremely punctual, knowledgeable, and thorough. Michael was able to answer all the questions I had as a first-time homebuyer. He made several suggestions and none of them came off as judgmental or condescending. All feedback he provided was clear, concise, and professional. I would personally contact ValueGuard again for any future inspections and I would also recommend them to my friends. Thanks for making the first-time homebuying process less stressful!!
Guna Gurazada
I waited for a while to leave a review, but having settled on everything with our home purchase, I'm thankful to Mike Kelley for his thorough inspection and flagging the main issues that saved us money in the negotiations. Scheduling home inspection, radon & termite inspection all at once with ValueGuard was convenient. They might be tad pricey, but given everything you need to deal with in the process of home buying, convenience matters. I can't say much about the termite inspection (the guy was super-quick), but Mike spent more than 4 hours thoroughly going through every aspect of the house and explaining how things work in the process. Of course home inspectors tend to be picky and like to point out everything, but it's better to be informed and then prioritize accordingly (its sometimes easy to be overwhelmed but you shouldn't miss the forest for the trees). The report was very thorough and provided within a day as promised - same with termite/radon. Everything that he flagged (as high priority) indeed were things that needed to be fixed or needed secondary inspection. Thanks again Mike!
Pour Vallery
Great first experience with ValueGuard. Our Inspector Mike was on time, friendly, and very experienced and efficient. He explained things to us in a very easy to understand manner. He was personable and also did a great job from top to bottom inspecting the house and letting us know any issues he found. I would definitely recommend this company to my friends and family!
Laura Feigin
Reid came out and helped us inspect a house that we are planning on purchasing. He is incredibly helpful, thorough, and knowledgeable. He took his time on absolutely every tiny crevice and we feel comfortable that his recommendations will be valuable for our decision moving forward. As an added bonus, he gave us some helpful tips in terms of maintenance, told us what to keep an eye on as we go forward, and made us feel confident about what we were getting into.
Julia Zullo
Michael Pistor of ValueGuard did my inspection and I cannot say enough good things. He came highly referred to me by a close friend and he exceeded expectations. He was extraordnarily thorough, extremely knowledgable, and available to answer questions both during and after the inspection. Upon receiving his final report, it was clear that he took his time and was remarkably rigorous. He was patient when both myself and my family called for explanations and opinions and he provided those opinions honestly, but diplomatically. For reasons other than the inspection process we did not move forward with pruchasing the home, however when I begin my search again I will undoubedtly be using ValueGuard and specifically Michael Pistor again.
Hillary Cribben
ValueGaurd came recommended to us and we couldn’t be happier with the service and expertise we were provided from Mike. Mike was so thorough and took the time to explain not only watch outs but just general information a home owner should know about their home. I even got excited about a GFCI outlet… didn’t even know what they were prior to inspection.
Mike was punctual and professional, taking photos of everything and walking me through the entire process and what to expect. This is my second time buying a home and first time with a newer home. Inspections can really make or break your investment-they’re critical to the home buying process and ValueGaurd provided the expertise I needed to be confident with my decision.
Couldn’t recommend ValueGaurd enough!
Anna Benjamin
Mike was super thorough, detailed and patiently and clearly explained all his findings to us throughout the inspection process. As a first time home buyer this could have been really stressful but Mike made it feel so easy!
Phil Egan
Our experience with ValueGuard was great. Our inspector Mike was very knowledgeable and informative, he took the time to explain anything he came across that would be noted in the inspection report. Mike also spent a lot of time answering our questions which made us feel very comfortable with the whole process. Another plus is that ValueGuard uses iPads to generate their inspection reports, which made us feel very comfortable that everything Mike came across would be noted in the inspection report. Overall a great company to work with, I would definitely recommend them.
Jim Riviello
Outstanding! Mike Baltrush was excellent. Extremely thorough and took the time to explain everything in great detail. Highly recommend ValueGuard and specifically Mike as his knowledge of historic homes was just what we needed. Fantastic experience.
Evan Frisina
Tyler Gilger of ValueGuard is incredibly thorough. He went the extra mile to be sure that every INCH of our property was looked over. From a tight attic to a basement crawlspace - and everything in between - we were all grateful for Tyler's dedication and know-how.
Erich Schnarr
I had Michael Pistor as an inspector and not only was he thorough and knowledgable, he also educated me on a ton of things i should know as i first time homeowner, very friendly and easy to talk to as well. Michael is the poster boy for what good customer service and professionalism is all about !
Sonal Sharma
Easy to work with. Mike was very detailed and took time to explain his findings to us. He helped answer all our questions and made us feel at ease during the inspection.
Jody Dolansky
I am a realtor and have worked with many home inspection companies. This was my first time with ValueGuard. Our inspector, Cory Shalaway, was great - extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our questions. Good value, too, at least cheaper than alot of other home inspection companies out there. Highly recommend!
Jillian Waldman
Our representative arrived 30 minutes early to make preliminary observations, so that when my partner also arrived early, they were able to begin immediately. The inspector seemed thorough, experienced, and knowledgeable, and we particularly appreciated his insight about details of the home that were technically legal but would be important to remediate with small children around. We appreciated his deep knowledge of not just the current state of the building code in our area, but also of how the building code had evolved over time and varied between localities, and the effects of this on construction norms.
Kali Silverman
Excellent inspection services! Mike was super helpful, explained everything very clearly, talked us through the whole house and answered every question we had. As a first time homebuyer, I am very thankful for his attention to detail and thorough explanations. Thank you so much!
Vicky Olsen
Mike B. was our inspector and he was very knowledgeable and thorough. He was easy to talk to and answered all of our questions. We are very happy with his work and glad we went with ValueGuard.
Juliana Dugent
In the past 6 years, we have used ValueGuard for home inspections on 3 different properties. Our experience with them has always exceeded our expectations. They have streamlined the process of booking an inspection from their website, enabling you to choose a specific inspector and view their upcoming availability. After booking an inspection online, a representative reaches out to confirm the appointment and discuss any additional details. We have always chosen Cory Shalaway for our inspections. He is very polite, professional, and extremely thorough with the inspection. The inspection report provided is clear and well organized. Issues found are ranked into categories (ie. immediate action or require a future follow-up) and photos are provided. We will continue to use ValueGuard in the future and recommend them to all family and friends.
Michele F
We were fortunate to work with Pete Kuryluk for our home inspection. Pete was professional, thorough & a pleasure to work with. Pete took the time to answer any & all questions we had. We would request Pete again in the future if we ever need another home inspection down the line!
Chronos Contracting
We had an amazing experience with inspector Michael Bluestein. He was highly observant, thoughtful and patient. Setting up the inspection was an easy task, given the professionalism of the people at the office. The inspection itself was thorough and highly detailed (our agent was surprised at its depth). Exactly what you want from a real home inspection. I've had another inspection done previously by a company that did a sub-par job and I felt cheated. This experience left me feeling quite the opposite.
I am in construction myself, so I know what to look for. I also know when someone knows what they are doing. Often even those that do, prefer not to apply themselves. Mr. Bluestein really did us a great job.
I am very pleased I stumbled onto this company. Much appreciated.
tameka odd
I just wanted to take this time to appreciate ValueGuard inspections, for their great customer service and the true love that the inspectors have for their jobs. I've had two inspections done within this month and I'm highly pleased. One of their inspecter's by the name Corey, saved me from getting in to a house that I would have regretted later. Thanks Corey!!! Also, I would like to thank Jim, for booking my appointment so fast and working with me. Thanks and I truly appreciate you all! I recommend ValueGuard inspections to everyone! You will not regret it! ☺❤👍👏
Mariana Ramirez
Robert was fantastic! He was thorough, detail oriented and patiently answered every single question I asked throughout the inspection. I can tell he takes pride in his work and wants to provide the highest level of service he can. I’m not a first-time homeowner but this is all still relatively new to me so it was comforting to have Robert talk through all of his findings in person and then provide a detailed report with tons of pictures and notes afterwards. Making the appointment and submitting payment was a breeze. I would recommend ValueGuard again, especially Robert!
Ryan Morrison
This is our first time buying a home so it was a huge help to have someone knowledgeable and professional going through the house with us. Corey and Randy were both extremely helpful. I missed the radon guy's name but he was great, too. I would definitely recommend this company to a friend.
Elise Bowe
As a first time home buyer, this was my first time going through the home inspection process. Everything about my experience with ValueGuard was positive. From making the initial appointment to the day of inspection, everyone I interacted with was patient, knowledgeable, and helped me to understand the process. Rob was very thorough in both performing the inspection, explaining what he was seeing, and making sure that there were no surprises in the written report. During the inspection, he walked me through what he was going, the reason behind what he was doing, and would explain everything he found and what it meant.
William Toffling
Reid was excellent. He was on time, thorough and explained everything he was examining in the house. I gained confidence that my home purchase was the right move for our family as I learned more about the home through this inspection. This is the second home I have utilized ValueGuard and Reid and I cannot recommend them enough.
atalyia eisenhauer
I highly recommend ValueGuard Home Inspections to any homebuyer! I am a first time homebuyer and although I was nervous about the process, I felt very supported during the whole process. Jason Liszkiewicz was extremely thorough with his inspenction of the house and provided me with information about each detail. He was very open to my questions and did not miss a thing in the house. I feel more confident moving forward in my purchase thanks to Jason and ValueGuard!
Michael Rapp
Overall a great experience from start to finish. ValueGuard provided a cost of inspection based on the size of the home and applied an online discount without a request. Prices for the inspection (I opted to also have a radon test and termite inspection) matched those listed on their website. Scheduled was quick with immediate options, I called on Friday and was offered Monday. ValueGuard was familiar with my realtor and the office staff and help coordinate the appointment. The inspection itself was very informative. At the start I was asked if there were any particular concerns that we needed to ensure were addressed. Even though I stated the kitchen cabinets and appliances would be replaced immediately they were fully inspected. The inspection report was thorough and very easy to read with ample details and clear picture. If needed I would utilize the services again. I would not hesitate to recommend their services if asked.
Julie Pavoni
Value Guard is a great company with excellent inspectors. I am a real estate agent, and I have used Steven Haslam on multiple properties with great results. He explains everything thoroughly and makes sure my clients understand what is typical home maintenance versus a defect that should be addressed immediately. I even used Steven for the inspection for the purchase of my own home. The office staff is also very helpful and the process is easy with Value Guard. I highly recommend this company!
keya foster
My home inspector Mike was professional, kind, knowledgeable and thorough. He took his time to explain everything and always followed up with “Do you have any questions?” He was a pleasure to work with and I will definitely be recommending him and this company to anyone who needs the services!!! Great to work with!!!
Jared Bourjolly
I couldn't be any happier with the service Michael Pistor has provided during my home inspection! He's extremely detailed inspector and was able to answer all of my questions and concerns throughout my home inspection. To the owners of ValueGuard if you haven't recently you should give this guys a promotion and or raise! A++
Lauren Ashley
ValueGuard is so nice to work with for home inspections. They are very quick to respond and their communications via phone, email, and text are clear. Michael was very thorough, talked through the process with us, and made sure to answer any and all questions. I highly recommend ValueGuard and would use them again in the future without hesitation.
Danielle Presner
I am a first time home buyer and ValueGaurd was great through the whole home inspection process. Steven was the home inspector and was so thorough from start to finish. We also had a radon inspection and termite inspection all at the same time. During a stressful ValueGuard and Steven took pressure off me and put me at ease. I would recommend them to all my friends and family!
Jackie Vey
Pete was very polite and professional. He answered any questions we had during the inspection. He took pics and shared them in his report. It was a detailed inspection. I am very happy with my report and experience.
Sung Whang
Our realtor suggested ValueGuard and I’m glad she did. Mike was punctual, thorough, and professional. He took the time to explain what jen was looking for throughout the process and he sent us the final document the very next day. I would use ValueGuard again the next time I purchase a home.

Back on August 15th 2020 we had a property inspected by Michael Pistor. Being a first-time homebuyer he treated us with incredible amount of respect and patience. He took time to show us issues that he was finding and describe certain terms used so that we could better understand the report once we received it. The house unfortunately had multiple significant issues that were found and numerous finding during the inspection did not match items on the sellers disclosure. Because of what was found and the sellers unwillingness to address the discrepancies we back out of the deal.
Just a few weeks ago our bid was picked on another property. I immediately called Valueguard asking for Michael. He was unfortunately booked the weekend we needed to get the inspection done so our inspector wound up being Pete Kuryluk for April 17th 2021.
Pete treated us with the same amount of respect and patience. The house was built in 1780 and he took time to explain certain details that are not seen in more modern houses. We felt as though he was detailed and addressed a lot of concern we had specifically with the age of the house.
Thank you!
Patrick Becker
Reid was my inspector, he was very thorough, walked me through the entire process piece by piece. It was a great experience and I could tell that he truly had our best interests in mind for our purchase. Class act all around and will absolutely use this company moving forward as well as refer them to everyone I can
Kimi Pryor
Everyone I interacted with from ValueGuard was friendly, professional, and responsive. We received a quick follow-up from our initial inquiry and were able to schedule with the inspector we wanted within the week. The pricing was transparent and the interactions between our agent and the inspector seamless. The radon and termite inspectors were also efficient and showed up on time. Our inspector, Michael Pistor, was funny, detail-oriented, knowledgeable, and thorough. We received our inspection report within a few days of the appraisal and it is filled with useful information. Would definitely recommend.
Nate Anthony
My wife and I recently bought a house and needed an inspection done quickly. I called ValueGuard and they had someone out three days later. Cory Shalaway was our home inspector and he was great. I appreciate punctuality and he was there well before our appointment time. He was very personable and walked me through the house inside and out. He explained to me what he was looking at and what to look for both good and bad. I would absolutely recommend ValueGuard to any of my friends or family.
Lulu Huda
I have used them twice thus far and their work is amazing. I highly recommend them for being so thorough and honest in their inspections. There was no detail that wasn’t left without being pointed out. Buying a house is a scary venture, but with their inspection I can clearly see what the flaws are and then assess what I’m working with. I used inspector Jason as he was awesome to work with!
Emma Halter
We had Cory come take a look at the house we had made a successful offer on. He arrived early and was thorough with the inside and outside of the house, and appeared experienced and honest with his assessment. He was friendly and helpful throughout the visit.
Maddy Parks
Robert did an amazing job with my home and termite inspection! He was friendly, thorough and gave great advice in a way that I could understand. I feel confident that he provided me with accurate information and did not miss anything important.
Dawn B
After looking at great reviews and trying another company who was not as quick to respond I chose Valueguard to inspect my first home. Robert was amazing, professional and made it obvious he was there for my best interests and was so thorough. We had a difficult seller and Robert handled it all incredibly well. I ended up getting injured and had to leave but had such a good feeling from him I knew I could trust him to do a great job. It turns out that house had lots of issues that were too much to deal with. I'm still on the market for my first home and will absolutely use Valueguard again without hesitation.
Fred Charles
Had a house that I’m interested in purchasing inspected by ValueGuard. The process was quite detailed and very informative. Robert did a great job of explaining every nook and cranny of the house. He was quite knowledgeable on things pertaining to the house and even materials used in the original construction. I would use ValueGuard again, and would highly recommend them.
Akuwa Maglo
Excellent, excellent service. Mike Baltrush was our inspector and he was professional, detailed, and patient with the questions we had as first-time home buyers, we would strongly recommend him as a home inspector. We would strongly recommend Value Guard to anyone looking for a home inspector. Thank you for the service !
Dante Cuticchia
I had a home, radon, and pest inspection done prior to purchasing a new house. Michael was the home inspector. He patiently answered all of my questions and was incredible about informing me of not just findings, but what it meant big picture. The entire team was professional, courteous, and informative. They really helped alleviate some of the stress and anxiety that comes with the purchase of a new home.
Brian Prager
Robert Reilly from ValueGuard was incredibly helpful and very thorough in his inspection. He appeared to carefully inspect everything in our home from top to bottom, and took the time to explain what he was looking at, why it was important, and what to be aware of as a future home owner. He also did all of this in a very professional way, aware of my inexperience with the process. I highly recommend working with him and ValueGuard to anyone else.
The Waller
Extremely thorough. Very pleased with services. Had home inspected as part of purchase contract, including radon and sewer. Jason was great. Very knowledgeable and thorough. I am happy to have had my inspection done with him and ValueGaurd. Will definitely recommend.
Elisabeth Beraquit
Michael Baltrush came out and inspected a property I am interested in purchasing. He took a lot of pictures and was eager to explain any areas of issue and/or things that may not be significant enough to note in his report but good to know for owning the property going forward. Overall, his team was very helpful and I would definitely recommend!
Janusz Franco
We recently put down an offer for a condo that we would like to purchase and we called ValueGard for the property inspection. Robert Reilly was the inspector and he did such a remarkable, neat and detailed inspection. As first-time buyers we needed a lot of details to be explained and Robert was very helpful and knowledgeable. We highly recommend ValueGuard Home Inspections (ask if Robert is available, it's worth it).
Buddy Lucas
Mike was early to the appointment, and was very courteous and knowledgeable. He took the safety precautions with COVID-19 seriously, and did a great job communicating how the inspection would go in regard to the precautions. His summary was very insightful and made sense. I would definitely recommend ValueGuard!
Sarah Doherty
Mike was fantastic to work with! He was extremely thorough, professional and took time to answer all of our questions. He was detail oriented and spoke in a way that wouldn’t confuse or overwhelm a first-time homebuyer. Highly recommend!!!
Maria Arbusto
Reid at ValueGuard did the inspection of an older home (circa 1900) that my husband and I are thinking of buying. He was thorough, professional, and shared his expertise during our walk thru. The report delivered was clear and thorough with detailed photos and recommendations. I highly recommend ValueGuard and Reid in particular!
Michael Acord
Awesome experience. Easy to schedule a very thorough inspection. Mike B. was knowledgable, professional, and a nice guy. He stuck with us through closing. Thank you!
Jessica Walter
We had a great experience with ValueGuard. Michael Pistor was extremely thorough and navigated us through the home inspection process with ease. As a knowledgeable member of the Value Guard team, he was especially great at explaining the home inspection and giving us suggestions for our new home.
Kim Maguire
This is the third time we have used ValueGuard Home Inspections and specifically, Michael Pistor. All three times we have found Michael to be extremely thorough and knowledgeable and have had total confidence in his evaluation.
Mike Field
I had two inspections performed (one by Brad and one by Jason) and was thrilled with both. They are VERY thorough and personable. The first time I was at the property with the inspector and he early knew his business. The second time I only communicated by email, but Jason was again very approachable and his knowledge saved me from buying a house that needed close to 25% of its value in repairs alone. We passed on that lemon, and are very thankful for the minimal cost of an inspection saving us tens of thousands in potential repairs.
We've got a third inspection scheduled and highly recommended them. Don't be dissuaded by the one star reviews, they're a solid business and provide immense value to home owners or potential home owners.
Annette Gladys
I am a realtor and needed to have a home inspection done for my buyers. Cory was the gentleman that performed the home inspection and he was great! He was very professional, friendly and thorough. I will definitely use him again for any of my buyers home inspections.
Disembodied Voice
The scheduling process was very easy. They always answered my phone calls. Their price is reasonable.
The inspection was scheduled on a day when it snowed heavily. The inspector showed up anyway! He was very professional. Made sure we understood everything he was explaining.
We got a report within 24 hours and it was very through. They clearly marked the things that needed to be immediately addressed and things that needed long term care.
Veronica Schad
Five stars thumbs up! Our inspectors were professional, thorough, and made the process easy to understand. Second time we've used ValueGuard, and would do so again!
Max Abrahams
Value Guard was excellent. Our inspector (Mike) was jovial and knowledgeable. He was incredibly thorough as well, and we learned a ton about the house and the process in general. The report was detailed and useful. The company seems big enough to have the resources and technology to do a great job, but not so big that your needs as a consumer are drowned out. I cant recommend ValueGuard highly enough.
Daniel Vader
Pete was fantastic. Very thorough inspection and took time to explain to us how everything in the house worked, how those things could break, and how to best maintain them. Would highly recommend!
Patrick Bredehoft
Mike Kelly (and the overall ValueGuard experience he helped to provide) was absolutely phenomenal. From our initial outreach to ValueGuard onward, the staff was friendly, punctual, and extremely responsive. Mike inspected two adjoining houses for us over the course of a single day, and he was the consummate professional: patient, thorough, and willing to answer all the questions we had. We were delighted by the experience, and we'd strongly recommend it to others!
Lisa Register
We had a buyer home inspection with Cory Shalaway and he was great! Very thoroughly went through the property, verbally explained things to us onsite, and provided a detailed report afterwards. We had a few follow up questions and he was available by phone which was helpful.
Chris Worthington
ValueGuard Home came highly recommended and they exceeded our expectations in every way. From Nathan, who directed and organized everything to Reid who handled the primary inspection ... they were professional, courteous and really nice people. A pleasure to work with and can't recommend them enough.
Colby Mills
I had a home inspection done by Michael Bluestein. He did an excellent job. Was very thorough and explained to me the issues along the way. Very knowledgeable guy. The report was very detailed and included pictures of all the stated issues. I would recommend Michael.
Brad Hennessy
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 went up in the roof and all around the outside then to the basement then room by room. He pointed out things and explained why it was good or maybe it needed to be looked at. To my luck there is nothing major wrong with the house and the upgrades we made with hvac and hotter water heater and water systems he said were the Bentley of water heaters. It makes me feel good and should make the potential buyer feel better. I highly recommend the company who also did a raydon test and it passed. It can be scary but I am glad we did it and know what we are headed forward with for the sale of the house. The report I got in a day or so so everything is fast no waiting around which is nice.
Brad
Andrew Livingston
I have used ValueGuard for two home purchases. On the most recent transaction our inspector was Michael Pistor. Michael was very thorough and took the time to explain each thing he was doing and what his findings where. We are buying the house from an anxious seller who is sad to leave her home after 50 years. Michael was very kind and helped put her at ease. He was careful to leave the home just as we found it. I would absolutely recommend ValueGuard and Michael.
Ashley Peacock
We used Michael Kelly for our home inspection through ValueGuard. Michael was professional and extremely knowledgeable. He performed a very thorough inspection and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend ValueGuard to anyone considering ordering a home inspection in the Philadelphia and surrounding areas.
Kevin Liaw
Cory was great! He led us through the process and answered our questions during and after the inspection. As first time buyers, he was thorough and patient with us!
Chris Coulton
Joe was great. He was knowledgeable, explained things well, and is super personable - so that to make the experience enjoyable. Who wants a dry, boring inspection?! He answered text message questions afterward, and put a rush on our report so we received it in a matter of hours. Thanks, Joe!
A J
As a first time home buyer, ValueGuard made me feel completely confident in my purchase. My inspector was Steve Haslam. He walked me through everything he was including in the report, which was incredibly detailed. I'll definitely be hiring them again!
Andrew Patterson
Cory and Randy made this part of the house buying process a breeze. They were diligent and ready to answer any questions we had in an easy to understand and informative manner. We are much more confident that we’re making a good decision after working with them.
Nicole Smith
As a first time home buyer, it was vital I had a knowledgable inspector to look at my new home and help me understand all that my new home will require. PETE, went ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure not an outlet went untested and I will be recommending Pete at Valueguard to all of my peers in the process of buying. Thanks to the whole team for helping me get my inspection expedited but a special thanks to Pete for his dedication, hardwork and professionalism!!!
M Shah
Mike and James were extremely diligent in their inspection of our prospective family home, including being patient and detailed in their responses and explanations, and taking extra steps to determine the source of a few issues. Their guidance was much appreciated!
Fredina Lawton
Mike was on time, he took his time walking from room to room explaining everything… he took his time looking into every crack and all things that look out of place… gave good info and taught me a few things would definitely use this company again
Melanie Caraballo
Joe was great and very accommodating!! (The home we are purchasing is currently tenant occupied and they weren't too cooperative) we had go reschedule 3 different times AFTER he had already come out to the property. They also respond in a timely manner! Will definitely reccomend & use them for any future properties!
Lexa Robeson
Mike Kelley was the best inspector I’ve ever worked with. He arrived early and was so thorough. He explained everything to me in layman’s terms so that I could understand what he was seeing and reporting. I received the report that same day. I would use Mike and ValueGuard again and recommend them to my family and friends!
Sudipta Chowdhury
Michael Baltrush was our home inspector. He is very professional and knowledgeable, I felt he enjoys his work and took time to explained everything to us. I’m glad that I choose ValueGuard.
Elizabeth Li
The whole team at ValueGuard went above and beyond to work with our schedule as we were moving from out-of-state, around the holidays. They were accommodating, understanding, and kind. As for the inspection itself, Robert made it clear from the introduction that he was thorough, knowledgeable, and ready to take the time to give us any and all information we needed to feel comfortable moving into an old house. This was our third home buying experience, and we have never before felt so equipped to go into the final stages of negotiation and move into our new home. ValueGuard will now be the top of my list of recommendations to future homebuyers. This may be odd to say, but we had fun during our inspection, we learned so much and feel confident and prepared for this next chapter in our new home.
Sarah Bleiberg
Michael performed our home inspection and was very helpful. He was thorough, friendly, and answered all of our questions. He provided a clear and detailed report with all of the information about the house. Would highly recommend.
Vik Jaitly
My wife and I had Michael Baltrush conduct an inspection for a property in Graduate Hospital. Mike was great and took the time to explain exactly what he was doing and why it was important. He answered all of our questions. For first time home buyers, Mike made the process very simple for us. We would highly recommend Mike and ValueGuard!
Pat Lawlor
My inspector was Michael Kelley. He took enormous pride in his work, and performed an incredibly thorough inspection. We went into the negotiation process confident that we had a good handle on all possible issues. The inspection took a long time (5.5 hours for a 4 bedroom home), so plan accordingly.
Yury Korzun
Very thorough and experienced inspector, didn't leave any stones unturned
mark shust
Super great team, loves to help out in any way. Very easy to work with and especially creative with their suggestions, from what needs to be fixed to how they would fix it if it were their own home. Have used a few inspectors before but they are by far the best and easiest group to work with.
Eitan Laurence
We were buying a home and there was no seller disclosure(estate sale) so the inspection was super critical. Reid Stever was our inspector. He was great. Very efficient, but didn't make us feel rushed. Super thorough and detail oriented. Had easy/practical explanations for things we didn't understand. Highly recommend Reid.
Chris Alrutz
Rob from ValueGuard inspected my home and did an excellent job. He was there before we arrived and had already begun taking notes and pictures. He answered all of our questions effectively and helped us make a report to directly address a few minor issues with the house to our seller.
I would recommend Rob from ValueGuard to anyone that needs a home inspection.
Terence Young
Jason Liszkiewicz was my inspector, he was excellent. My appt was at 9am, I arrived early at 8:30am and he was already there inspecting the outside of the house. He kept me informed on everything he was looking at, how to fix it, how much of a priority it should be, and what would happen if I don’t fix it. I’d def go with ValueGuard again for any of my home inspection needs and would personally request Jason. He was very thorough, polite, and professional.
Peter Valelly
I had an outstanding experience having Value Guard take care of home, termite, and radon inspections for my first home purchase. Mike Baltrush in particular was an excellent home inspector—punctual, professional, remarkably thorough, great at communicating and explaining everything (both in-person and in his very detailed and well-organized report), and a nice guy to boot. If you are looking for inspections, look no further.
Emily Baumrin
We had a FANTASTIC experience with ValueGuard Home Inspections. We worked with Mike Kelley who inspected our prospective Philadelphia home. He was punctual, professional and extremely thorough. He also provided recommendations and suggestions for general to us for upkeep as homeowners going forward. We would HIGHLY recommend Mike and ValueGuard Home Inspections.
Victoria Richardson
My inspector was Joe Topper and he was awesome. He explained everything to me in detail as he went through the house. I appreciated his patience with me being a first time buyer. Thank you Joe 😊 …
Adam
I have used Cory from ValueGuard as an inspector for 3 different homes over the years. The company is always excellent to work with, and Cory is more than professional. His reports are incredibly thorough and prompt. I cannot imagine ever using a different company or inspector.
Roy Arjoon
We worked with Cory for a new construction inspection. He was punctual, extremely nice, and incredibly knowledgeable. He helped guide us through things to look out for in new construction and what to expect in our new house. He was very diligent and took the time to show us where things like the main water valve was when we had no idea. The inspection was also done at a better price than some other companies we contacted. We strongly recommend valueguard and especially Cory Shalaway.
Hadassah Stoltzfus
Pete was incredibly thorough and explained things along the way. Even though most of his assessment wasn’t great news for the house, I felt like I got what I needed to make an informed decision.
M. Boss
We used ValueGuard for a home purchase inspection. This is the second time we've used them, and their inspector, Mike Kelly. We find Mike to be very thorough and detail-oriented, which is exactly what we wanted in a home inspector. Highly recommended!
Laura Solitrin
Mike was so thorough, very patient in explaining anything i had questions on, and was very detailed in his inspection. He arrived early, and i got back my inspection very quickly. Overall, it was a very painless process and I would absolutely use them again!
Mike Reyman
Always a pleasure - as a Realtor, I come across many businesses that serve the real estate industry. Without hesitation, I would recommend Value Guard and in particular, their #1 inspector, Mike B. Shelly & Ralph are great people to work with and will do whatever they can to accommodate a Realtor's request. As for Mike, I have seen him work with very tentative buyers and with the buyers that have experience in home repair. He is very straightforward and explains what he sees without the drama and need to prove his experience and knowledge. Mike is excellent in making the potential buyer educated on the house so they can be better buyers. I pleasure to work from start to finish. Keep up the great work!
Benjamin Smith
Cory did an excellent job checking every detail of the home. He was very nice and professional. Would highly recommend!
Stephanie Copelin
Very professional and thorough with our home inspection (for a purchase). Explained things really well and the report was very easy to understand. I would definitely use again. Mike was great!
Emily Royce
I had a great experience with Robert. He was on time, efficient, and did a great job explaining every step of inspection process, providing additional context and details throughout the appointment whenever questions were asked or clarification needed. Robert was very thorough and conducted the inspection with care and attention to detail. I will definitely recommend to friends and family.
Corey Meyer
Michael Kelly from ValueGuard did a home inspection for me a few weeks ago. He was thorough and informative: you could tell he knows his stuff.
After the inspection, ValueGuard sends you a detailed report with high resolution photos of each item. The report is professional, easy to read, and it eases the process of going back to the seller.
I highly recommend ValueGuard to anyone looking for an inspection service.
Alexandra Dongala
My inspector Michael was GREAT! He didn't hold out on anything and that's what you want on your side. Definitely would recommend the company AND the person.
Rikki Morris
Joe Topper was friendly and professional. He took the time to answer our questions and made the inspection informative and enjoyable. We’d definitely recommend using him and ValueGuard for your home inspection.
Azizah Stokes
"THANK YOU MIKE" , Your Professionalism is at an ALL TIME HIGH!!! I will HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU to anyone looking for a home inspection. He was very thorough , informative, took his time to Explain everything from Top to Bottom to my Husband and I.
Jordan Barr
We are first time homebuyers so we have never experienced a home inspection. Mike couldn’t have been more professional and thorough while accommodating all of our questions. He went above and beyond to make sure we understood everything he was analyzing.
Ebony Roberson
Mr. Michael did such an amazing job today! He was very professional & proficient in his work. He explained everything in great detail. He is a joy to be around. If u want someone who truly has experience, he’s the man! In mine & my family’s eyes, he can do no wrong! He is & will always be highly recommended for anyone to use! Thank u soooo much!!!!
Zoe Kellett
Steven at ValueGuard Home Inspections was very personable and helpful. He conducted a thorough inspection, clearly explained everything to me, and made sure that I understood everything that he noted. He was punctual and also wrote up the report in a very timely fashion. He noticed many small details and made sure no stone was left unturned! I would definitely recommend using ValueGuard Home Inspections to anyone.
Peter Mytych
ValuGuard, and Mike Bluestein in particular, are great to work with. It's clear not only you're working with a true expert who will give you unbiased advice, but the professionalism and customer service is vastly above average compared to other services. I would recommend Mike Bluestein to any home buyer!
Alan Scher
I was impressed by my experience with ValueGuard from minute one. From the impressive customer service over the phone (great job, Nathan!), to our inspector arriving early, and doing a thoughtful, thorough, job throughout (thanks, Michael!), ValueGuard staff exceeded my expectations.
Tracy Leung
Steve Haslam was AMAZING. He was incredibly thorough and patient, looked at every detail and then spent time walking me thru each point and process, highlighting the key concerns and what is typical/atypical for this area. The report was well laid out and even included estimated price ranges for each suggested fix. I found that extremely helpful as a buyer looking to purchase a condo.
Alicia Austin
Mike Kelley is phenomenal!!! I’ve had many home inspectors throughout my lifetime and hands down he’s the BEST!!!! Very meticulous and detail oriented. I had the best experience. He takes pride in his work and it absolutely shows!
Andrew Abbott
Reid from ValueGuard has now inspected two homes for us, and we couldn't be happier. The reports are thorough, include estimates where possible, and are sent very promptly. Hopefully we're in our new home for a very very long time, but should we move again in the Philadelphia area, we'll be certain to use ValueGuard for our inspection.
Pablo J. Perez-Pereira
ValueGuard provided excellent service! They di the inspection of a recently bought house and the inspector took the time to provide all the details he could find within the scope of his work. He provided a brief explanation of his finding during the inspection so now I'm aware of the issues and where they are while I read the report.
Kristen Koton
The home buying process in Philly has been challenging and after a lot of research on who to select for the home inspection, pest & radon—we selected ValueGuard and completed our 3rd home inspection with Mike this week. Everyone has been extremely thorough and patient with our questions/concerns. The turn around time for the full report (other than radon) has been 24 hours or less, which allows us time to review and negotiate during the critical ‘inspection period’. I highly recommend them for your home, pest and radon inspection.
Kyle Danges
Michael was amazing, he was extremely thuroug in his assessment and explained how everything worked in the house. I feel much more comfortable making this investment now that Michael has performed his inspection furthermore Michael is a great guy and it was a pleasure to walk through our new home with him.
Jennifer Bazydlo
As a realtor ValuGuard is my go to home inspectors for all my clients including my close friends and family.
Scheduling is easy. Pricing is very fair. Inspections are super thorough. The reports are clear and very helpful when if comes to knowing what repairs will need to be done and negotiating with sellers.
I work most frequently with Steve. I truly appreciate both his in-depth knowledge and his willingness to share that information with buyers. I personally have learned so much from him.
In summary ValueGuard is a great company. Highly recommend.
Rick Wade
Tech performed a Home for Sale Inspection and was both very thorough and professional but also friendly and happy to allow me to tag along for most of his inspection and offered information as we went. I would gladly use the company again and would try to arrange the same tech to do the work if at all possible because he impressed me that much.
Pete Haas
Mike at ValueGuard did a tremendous job in helping us with our new home inspection. He was able to find several things we never would've caught and his help in explaining the various systems was invaluable!
Keana Nunes
I had the pleasure of working with Jason to inspect my new home and he exceeded my expectations! He was very informative and thorough. Not to mention I received my inspection report the very next business day! I will definitely be working with him again.
Thanks Jason :)!!
Ava West
I just had my inspection done with Joe Topper. Joe was personable and meticulous with his inspection, and I couldn’t be happier! Choose Joe! He is such a cool guy with good energy and is super professional!
William Fraser
Mike was very professional and took time to explain a lot of things about the house we would not have known about as first time home owners. He outlined the easy fixes and the things that would be more costly to fix. Very impressed, and would use ValueGaurds services again.
Catherine Hofmann
This is the 2nd time I've used Reid Stever at ValueGuard for pre-buying home inspections. He is very thorough and takes the time to explain things that a homeowner would need to know. On top of that, his reports are detailed. I will continue to use ValueGuard when I need inspections.
Nadine Basri
Mike did our home inspection last weekend and was knowledgeable, professional, and personable. The report we received was incredibly thorough and included photos of the issues referenced. It kind of feels like we got an owners manual to our new home!
taylor quinn
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.
Karen Stewart
Jason Liszkiewicz was my inspector, he was excellent, didn’t miss a beat. He did not rush the job and even seen things that I would not had notice. He explained to me in great details what he was doing, and what needed to be done. I’m very pleased with the inspection ValueGuard provided, and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking to have an inspection. Thank you ValueGuard for a job well done.
Ayinde Robinson
Joe Topper showed up early and waited until the appointment time before he knocked, which we were thankful for. He was detailed and explained things well; careful that he didn’t damage or break anything; personable and didn’t mind answering any questions. We didn’t feel rushed, he took his time. He even came out, on the holiday, prepared by wearing his mask. He was very knowledgeable and gave helpful tips on what we should focus on. Thanks Joe, for a very thorough and pleasant home inspection.
g kuhn
Mike Baltrush from ValueGuard did not only a thorough but thoughtful inspection of a three unit residential property in Philly, while expertly evaluating any concerns that arose. Thank you, sir. I'd be more than pleased and confident to seek his expertise in the future.
Andrew Wright
We chose Valueguard through the recommendation of realtor. I am glad that we did. Our inspection was at 9:30. We arrived at our inspection around 9:15 and the inspector, Corey already did the outside inspection before we got there.
Corey is extremely knowledgeable and is very thorough in his house inspection. Our inspection was completed in 2 hours and within the next hour or so our inspection report was sent to us. I would highly recommend Valueguard and if you can get Corey don’t hesitate!
Stefanie Capone
Value Guard is my go to for all my PA inspections, Steven is the best hands down!
kenyetta riley
This is my 2nd time using ValueGuard for an inspection, I had Pete both times he is very thorough and helpful. If I ever need any inspections he will always be my #1 choice.

Our inspector, Michael Baltrush, was incredibly thorough, extremely knowledgable and able to communicate all of the issues and processes very well to us. Would highly recommend this company to anyone.
Lucas Drecksage
This is the 3rd inspection that Mike Kelley from ValueGuard has performed for us. Ever the consummate professional, the quality of his work sets a high bar for others. Mike is creative, thorough, and experienced. The rest of the inspection team has been great as well, from prompt scheduling to timely execution.
Matthew Grothaus
Corey, Randal and Matt were the three that inspected our future home. They were so helpful explaining what they were looking for and what they found. We received a detailed report shortly after inspection. This team was incredibly helpful, nice and professional. We highly recommend them to any inspection they know what they are doing!
Doug Clapp
We sought out Valuegaurd because we wanted an inspector to work on our behalf and not for our agent or for the sake of the "deal going through". Mike showed up early and was professional throughout. He was very thorough and explained every part of his process to us. He identified things that may be unsafe or at risk of breaking down and outlined what it may take to fix. Mike even took me aside and explained how the major systems like heat, water heater and waste water operate. Then he told me maintenance and life expectancy for each. I highly recommended valueguard and especially Mike Pistor for home inspection.
Tina B
Excellent experience. We were able to schedule an inspection quickly. Inspector was right on time. Explained everything as he went through the inspection In terms that were easy to understand.
Jamie Bates
Mike was extremely thorough and honest. He walked us through every detail of the inspection and explained the how and why of everything. He’s also just a really really nice guy. We are so glad we went with ValueGuard and would choose them again.
Tracey Guest
This was a great home inspection experience! I’m a single lady who’s a first time home owner, and my inspector, Jason, was so thorough and explained everything. He was on time (early even), and made me feel very comfortable throughout the process.
Mark Angelow
Very easy to schedule, inspector Rob Reilly was friendly, professional, and informative. He walked me through everything he was seeing and addressed a couple extra items I was curious about as well. I left feeling very confident about my home purchase.
Rich Thornton
We had Joe and Matt come out in do a home inspection did a good job was honesty and told me what I should and shouldn’t be looking for

Home inspection was smooth and professional. Mike did a great job of assessing the home and explaining things that needed to be fixed and things that could be fixed. He was efficient and thorough.

We used ValueGuard to inspect a property my daughter and I are planing on purchasing. This is the third time we've used ValueGuard for our inspection needs. ValueGuard does a complete inspection inside and outside the property. They bring several different sizes of ladders so that they can inspect the roof and gutters. They inspect the basement for dampness and water seepage. They open all taps and flush all toilets to test water flow. They inspect the electric panel and every socket in the house. I'm mentioning nowhere near all of the checks and balances ValueGuard preforms so that you can go to the closing table knowing that the house you are purchasing isn't going to hold any surprises. If the need ever arises, we would definitely and without hesitation employ ValueGuard again for our inspection needs.

I used ValueGuard for a recent new home inspection in Quakertown, 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 home inspector in the Bucks/Lehigh area.

Jason took his time and was very thorough with the inspection. He explained everything and answered all of our questions. Approached this home inspection as if it were his own home. Very insightful. Plan on using ValueGuard for our next inspection! Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of having Michael complete my inspection. He was incredibly thorough and really helped me to prioritize the work that was needed on my home. Very professional and highly knowledgable. Highly recommend!
Alison G. Messina, DVM
Jason was very thorough, professional, and friendly. He updated me during the inspection process as he moved through the house, and explained any issue he found in a way that was easy to understand. I would definitely recommend ValueGuard.

Jason Liszkiewicz is the most awesome inspector! We actually used him twice because our first house fell through thanks to Value Guard awesome catches on the radon!! Jason is so thorough and doesn't miss anything I feel fully confident in the reports he gives. He is very friendly and gets the job done I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!!!!
Elizabeth Kuhlman
I am a first time home-buyer and wanted to be there for the inspection. Corey was extremely informative and professional when sharing information as he inspected the home. Would definitely recommend ValueGuard to other home buyers.
Dent Wilkens
The Valueguard team was exceptional. They were able to book an appointment the day after I called. The inspector was on time, very personable, and was knowledgeable about his job. He was very thorough and explained what he found in each section of the inspection as he went, which was then backed up in the inspection report. The report also contained cost estimates for work that needed to be performed. We also used them for Radon testing which was extremely easy.
We will certainly be using them if we buy again in the area.
Michael Gall
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.
Jevon Corpening
ValueGuard, and Jim from customer service, were quick and efficient with scheduling, and our inspector Mike Baltrush was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend!
Ann Lacheen
Pete was prompt, friendly, thorough and extremely knowledgeable about the structure and mechanicals of our house. Would definitely recommend.

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.
Brian Devlin
The man conducting the home inspection was Cory. He was extremely professional and thorough. He was 45 minutes early and started the inspection on the exterior of the home without disturbing anyone. Great Company and great service at a fair price.
Diane Alexander
My realtor engaged ValueGuard to conduct an inspection of the apartment. Master Home Inspector Mike Pistor did an excellent job reviewing existing conditions. He did not embellish conditions that needed attention but definitely called them out as flaws to be addressed. Things that appeared satisfactory were identified as such. In all, he provided a report that covered the bases needing to be covered, and provided me peace of mind and a clear road map for things to be addressed, some more urgent than others. I highly recommend using ValueGuard and Mike Pistor if you need a home inspection.
Judy Kow
Everyone that I've spoken with at this company is on top of their game. I've had three inspections with Mike Pistor, who is patient, thorough and above all, a true professional who takes pride in the service he provides. I would not hesitate to use them again and would be confident to recommend them to anyone.

Reid Stever at ValueGuard went above and beyond in conducting a thorough inspection of our new home, identifying issues, and recommending remediations and appropriate follow up. He was available to discuss the findings, the follow ups, and returned to the home to complete his inspection for items that were covered by snow.
Patrick McCloskey
They do a great job and they are extremely thorough in their inspections. They leave no stone unturned. I have had Michael Bluestein perform 2 home inspections for me and he has impressed me with his knowledge and in-depth walk throughs. I would highly recommend them for your inspections.
Katrina
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.

Jason Liszkiewicz was a pleasure to work with, and I am happy I went with ValueGuard for my home inspection. He was extremely thorough and explained everything that he found. I would recommend ValueGuard, especially Jason, to anyone that needs a home inspection.
Marie Frisbie
ValueGuard responded professionally and promptly. Jim was our contact person and was in constant communication with us. Thanks to the ValueGuard team their thorough H.I. saved us from purchasing a house that would have required more work than we could afford at this time. Thank you to ValuGuard for making us your number one priority. We would use and recommend ValuGuard again and again.
Dean Stewart
Valueguard is the real deal. Adam came out and spent a good chunk of time with us walking through our potential new home. He was super knowledgeable and excellent at explaining potential issues in layman’s terms. Adam expressed if the issues were immediate or something we may face in 5-10+ years which was helpful in understanding the home. We threw a ton of questions at Adam and he was able to answer every single one no matter how silly it may have seemed and was not bothered by the number of questions and continued to encourage asking more. Lastly, Adam promised our report to be out the following day but he ended up turning it around in a few hours and we received it the same day! I would recommend valueguard and Adam to other friends looking to have a home inspected.

As a first time home buyer I was very overwhelmed trying to find the perfect inspector. With a number of companies online and so many reviews, I wasn't sure what to do. A co-worker then highly recommended Value Guard, and specifically Steven Haslam. I looked him up online, and after noticing all the great reviews, I knew he'd be my guy. I called Value Guard and sat up the appointment to have Steven inspect my potential new home. I had to wait a few days because he was booked, but I was willing to wait for the right inspector.
I'm glad I did! WOW! He provided unparalleled customer service!! He was such a PLEASURE to deal with, and he made the entire experience a fun one. He was super patient, polite, nice, and didn't mind me asking a ton of annoying questions.
He'd always ask upon inspecting each area, if I had any questions before moving on to the next area. What can I say, he was amazing! I couldn't be happier with the inspector I picked.
He arrived to the home inspection on time, and didn't rush me through the process at all. He took his time going through the entire house and answering all my question. He was hyper thorough too, which I truly appreciated.
Upon finishing the inspection, he offered to answer any follow up questions that I may have. Every time I've had a question regarding any of the items he mentioned on his report, he's always answered nicely, patiently, and in a timely fashion.
I totally recommend Steven Haslam for your home inspection. He is an awesome inspector who provides second-to-none customer service.

Mike P. came out to do an inspection on a home I put an offer in on. He was very professional, informative and friendly. I feel very confident in his work, which will help me to make a final decision on the home. Would recommend to anyone looking to buy.

I was very pleased how jason liszkiewicz did a awesome job. He walked me step by step through my home pointing out and making us understand his discoveries with my home. I never knew i had an attic. He found a knew world.
I highly recommend valueguard and jason to tackle your home inspection.
Thanks jason for your dedication and hard work today👍

Corey did an excellent job. His report was comprehensive. He was very professional, answered all of our questions and was masked and observed Covid safety.
Alex Aberle
Wonderful experience with Robert Reilly at a residential home inspection. Robert was early (that never happens!) and a pleasure to work with. He dove right into the inspection, and didn't miss a beat! He scoured the house from top to bottom, checked every nook and cranny, and made sure to keep me posted about what he was finding along the way. Not to brag, but Robert actually may have saved a few lives today! During his inspection, Robert discovered a gas leak in the basement that no one knew about! Can't thank him enough!
Andres Arciniega
They did a great job in general. My only recommendation it's that they need to see the details and take the time to review ALL the house. They missed some points that will cost me a lot of money to change, but also they noticed other ones that harmed the health.
Justin Spiration
Fantastic service. Questions were answered clearly and quickly. Overall pleasant experience, would absolutely recommend!
Zach South
Booking was super easy and the inspection was very thorough! The report was sent to me promptly, even after a holiday weekend.

I am in the process of buying a new home. Something that is already a challenging task becomes even more so when you consider the fact that I am not from the mainland United States. I come from Puerto Rico, where house buying procedures are very different and much simpler. This is mainly due to the fact that most houses are very similar to each other. The houses in Puerto Rico are rarely very old, so a lot of the things that you have to keep an eye out here in PA, such as knob and tube wiring, heating systems, ect., were new to me.
After an offer was made to a house. The company ValueGuard was recommended to me to do the inspections of the home. I was pleasantly surprised by the inspection procedure. My home inspector, Robert Reilly, was a very personable man. Although he was busy being extremely thorough in his inspection, he took the time to explain everything in great detail to me and never seem bothered by the deluge of questions that I had. He completely understood my position and that I was a complete novice when it came to homes in PA. Every time I had a doubt, he would make it a point to show me what he was doing, and explain why he was doing it, why it was important and how I could fix or mitigate the issue. The whole process took hours, a lot of that was due to me asking so many questions. I received my home inspection report that very night. The inspection was around 80 pages and it included recommendations, observations, possible cost to fix issues, etc. All in all, it was a fantastic experience and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who is looking to have a thorough and informative inspection.
I would also like to once again mention my inspector Robert Reilly. Thank you so much for your time and patience, you have no idea how much I appreciate it.
