We were blessed with Manny, who inspected the home so carefully. He showed that our purchase was his #1 concern. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He put us at ease with our decision.

Manny from Homeward Home Inspections recently inspected a townhouse that we are in process of buying. From the moment he showed up Manny explained the entire process, he asked if we had questions prior to beginning the inspection. He was very thorough in his inspection , taking lots of pictures and explaining things to me. He sent us our report in less than 3 hours of the inspection. The report was very detailed and thorough. I would highly recommend Manny to anyone wanting to purchase a new home.

Manny and Tom are fantastic! As a real estate agent, it’s SO important to refer my clients to a home inspector who’s knowledgeable, timely to get report back, and with great “bedside” manner.
Homeguard Home Inspection has been my go to reference for the last few years. Our clients are always well informed, educated and feel like their questions have all be answered.
I trust Homeguard for my own family and personal home inspections!

I used Manny for a home inspection. Manny is honest, dependable, professional and diligent. It was raining and cold at the time of the inspection. Like mailmen, Manny delivered. He provided excellent feedback on the roof, chimney, gutters, and electrical work. He saved me from making a costly mistake. I would highly recommend Manny for your future inspection.

Manny was punctual, thorough, and his report was extremely detailed - so many pictures! You can tell how experienced and knowledgeable he is. He pointed out issues, big or small, and gave thoughtful advice/guidance. In fact, my attorney said his was the most detailed report she had ever seen. Would 100% recommend him to any home buyer.

They were awesome! Received an honest and quality inspection. I would definitely use them again. Their report was thoroughly detailed with helpful recommendations. You can tell they’re sincere in protecting the buyers interest when you see their report and when they verbally address concerns to you on any issues going on with the house during the inspection.

Tom is a knowledgeable and thorough home inspector. He was laser focused and yet did not hesitate to answer any questions with a smile. He took the time to explain any concerning factors and what different things mean or why they happen. He made recommendations for when we move into the home as well as what we could inquire about as sellers for more peace of mind. Highly recommend !

Homeguard Home Inspections and Manny Marinos take care of you unlike any other home inspector would. Manny went above and beyond ! Answers all questions and concerns. Took his time and showed such care to make sure i knew exactly what problems were present and which were not. Then you get a HIGHLY DETAILED report (70 PAGES) of his findings ! Thank you for all your help Manny !

Being first time home buyers, we were extremely nervous about the inspection process. Tom was incredible ! He was kind, competent and thorough. He set time aside to fully explain major issues in the home and answered questions we had regarding the home. He demonstrated his professionalism and knowledge by giving us pointers and tips on maintenance around the home. Homeguard Home Inspections and Thomas Dandola have made this experience one we will always remember. We absolutely recommend this inspection company ! You will not be disappointed

Worked with Tom for the inspection of the home I am purchasing and I would absolutely recommend Homeguard Home Inspections. I am purchasing my first home and everyone explained steps I would need to take going forward clearly, and Tom explained everything during the inspection so my wife and I had a clear idea of the home's condition. The post inspection report was also very detailed and easy to read.

Manny was a pleasure to work with for our home inspection. He was patient and thorough, answering every one of my questions without complaint. It's good to have an inspector that you know is working to give you the information you deserve for such a large purchase. The report was delivered electronically to be read online or downloaded, which is a huge plus. The photo references will come in handy down the road. I highly recommend Homeguard Home Inspections. Manny will be my go-to for my future needs. A+++
