Response from ValueGuard Home Inspection
This complaint is completely without merit. Our inspection prices are posted on our website, www.valueguardusa.com. The price quoted was for a single family town home, less than 1,500 sq ft, built in 1900. Our online pricing states that a town home less than 1500 sq ft is $399 plus $30 additional for homes over 50 years. Total price: $429. The member contacted us by email, and we did our best to explain our pricing. We did not inspect this home, as he apparently chose a less expensive inspection company.

Description of Work: A complete home inspection from roof to basement, exterior and exterior. The inspection included all infrastructure, structural, electrical and plumbing systems, radon levels, etc., as if we were newly purchasing the home and he was our agent. A thorough and detailed written report was provided within a couple days of the inspection, with recommendations as to how various issues could be remedied. The person who conducted the inspection arrived as scheduled, walked me through the process as he went, explaining everything in language I could understand. Since this company does not perform actual work on the homes they inspect, there was no conflict of interest. The inspector's knowledge of all the systems and structural aspects of a home, especially an older home like ours, was impressive. I would recommend Vanguard without reservation, and would use them again if the need arose.

Our inspector was Michael Kelley, he came highly recommended by our realtor and I can see why, this guy was fabulous! So thorough, we spent the whole morning going through the place and he talked to us the whole time, encouraged our millions of questions, and was full of tips. Mike was like a tutor for first time homebuyers, he taught us some basics about taking care of the place, and pointed out what sorts of projects we needed to address right away, what could be done in the next few years, and things to take care of as time permits. Mike got himself into ever crack and crawlspace you could imagine (like deep under the front porch!) I'd recommend him whole-heartedly to anyone buying a house, but especially to first time homebuyers because of his easy going nature, and wealth of information that he readily shares. I just can't praise him enough--he found defects that allowed us to negotiate a very favorable price for our beautiful new home.
Description of Work: Full house inspection including the garage, walkways, etc. for a three story twin home. The price included a radon test for us too. Everybody was on time and efficient with their work, and great at explaining exactly what they were doing and why it was important/necessary.

Craig was running a little late, and went out of his way to let us know. When he arrived about 15-20 minutes late, he was extremely personable, thorough and very professional. Making sure to point out aspects of the house that he would be including in his report, and explaining everything in terms we could understand. His report was very comprehensive, informing us of issues that needed to be resolved promptly, in addition to pointing out potential issues that might arise in the future. Craig also made himself available to answer any questions we had regarding his final report and inspection. Well recommended to any home buyer.
Description of Work: Craig Tillman from ValueGuard performed a complete and comprehensive home inspection.
