Absolute Safeguard was recommended to me by my realtor. I am a first-time home buyer with minimal knowledge of the inspection process or the inner workings of a house. Silas was very professional and thorough, and patiently walked me through the process, explaining and educating as he went. He was very knowledgeable and could not have been kinder. He had a great sense of humor and it was obvious he enjoyed his occupation and working with people. When the process was complete, he made sure all my questions were answered. The experience could not have been better!! read more

This company and industry are completely worthless. Dino is not qualified to make the suggestions/recommendation he states and puts in his reports. Report claimed that electrical outlets were reverse polarity. After a Certified Electrician reviewed Dino's claims he found nothing that Dino referred to in his report. This is just one of numerous errors made to an unsuspecting first time home buyer. Dino is not a structural engineer yet made claims that a home foundation had sunk. When the foundation was clearly following the contour of the land. Stay away from this company and all like company's in this industry. If you have questions, call experienced certified contractors to view your concerns. This is my considered opinion from a report prepared by Dino and then reviewed by true experts. read more

We used Absolute Safeguard to inspect 2 homes. For the first house, we brought in trade experts and they confirmed Dino's findings. After that sale fell through, we were confident to use Absolute Safeguard for our 2nd inspection. Very thorough, upfront, and honest. read more

I gave Dino my credit card information to charge me for the inspection, and he charged me $875 when he was supposed to charge $850 (the document I signed was also saying $850). Even though I emailed him about this matter, he has never replied to my email! $25 is not an issue, but the approach is unacceptable. read more

Our home inspection was great! My girlfriend and I are first time home buyers so the process seemed scary to us! However Dino was very thorough, and walked us through every step of the process showing us everything about our new home, putting us at ease. Would highly recommend his services to anyone needing a home inspection! 10/10 experience if we ever purchase another home this is who we would call! -Drew Kennedy & Taylor Smith read more

We were recommended Dino from Absolute Safeguard to inspect our future home and also perform a partial inspection on the home we were selling. Dino managed to identify critical issues in the house we were purchasing that needed to be repaired or serviced. He was thorough with his details and imaging for the report and very patient with us throughout the process. Thank you Dino for the service you performed for us. It was greatly appreciated! read more

I had a great experience with Dino and Absolute Safeguard. He was very thorough and pointed out some minor items to fix I wouldn't have thought of as well as a couple major things I did notice. I 100% recommend them! read more

Dino went above and beyond to make sure that I understood what he was inspecting and the condition of my future investment.

We can't recommend this business enough! We had Dino for our inspection. He was very thorough and explained a lot to us as he did the inspection, taking the time to make sure we understood everything. We appreciated his patience. He even gave us little tips on how to best take care of the house. We received the report promptly, and it was very easy to understand and organized. Our first house fell through and we gladly had Dino do our second inspection as well. read more

We had our house inspected by Steve. It is our first house so we are pretty clueless about maintenance and what to look for. Steve put us right at ease with his patience and knowledge. He was so kind and took his time explaining all of our questions. I would highly recommend this company for inspection. They were through, patient and on time. We had a great experience. read more

I would 100% recommend Absolute Safeguard to anyone buying a home! I have used them twice on both homes I looked into purchasing. Dino is very thorough and doesn't miss a thing! Being a first time home buyer I did not know very much about the details of homes. He was able to explain everything in very simple, easy to understand terms and answered every question I had. Dino is quick and gets your report back the very next day. I will continue to use Absolute Safeguard on every home I purchase in the future! read more

Safe-Gard performs a very superficial inspection that in no way will jeopardize the sale (and therefore their referral source from real estate agents). Here's a short list of things they missed on my house: 1. Carpenter bee infestation. 2. Mouse infestation. 3. Bathroom vents discharged underneath attic insulation. 4. Deteriorated windows. Some windows were in such bad condition that after being opened and closed a few times the sashes started to fall apart. 5. Plugged downspout over flow pipe. It cost about $1,875 to correctly rerun the pipe. I brought these issues up to Safe-Gard's owner, Dana Wilson, who refused to accept any responsibility. Dana's conduct and responses when he finally (after three requests) came out to the house to review the issues were offensive and unprofessional. Dana actually threatened me when I said I would not allow him to get out of all responsibility for the issues missed by the Safe-Gard inspector. Stay away from Safe-Gard - they perform a useless home inspection and the owner is VERY unprofessional. read more

I would recommend Absolute Safeguard to anyone buying a house. Being a first time home buyer, I did not know much about the process. Dino took me all through the house and answered all of my questions. He was very thorough. I received the inspection the next day. I will use him again in the future. read more

Dino was great. The things that impressed me most was how thorough he was. I never felt as though he was rushing through my home inspection. I also appreciate how he spoke with me in laymans terms. Following the inspection, he quickly sent a very detailed report. This included many photos with descriptions to issues he picked up along the way. I'm happy to recommend Dino to friends and future customers. read more

I had my home inspected by Steve with Absolute Safeguard about a year ago, and he missed several serious issues with the home. Everyone I have hired so far to fix all of my issues have made similar comments such as "Did you get the house inspected before buying because this should have been caught by your inspector." I have been advised by many people to sue, however, they have you sign a disclaimer that they are essentially not at fault for anything missed. It was my first time buying a home, and at the time I was a 23 year old female easily taken advantage of in situations such as this because I did not know much about really anything home ownership wise; I can certainly say now that I have learned a lot from all the problems I have had. I just hope I can help others avoid the same issue. Not to mention, Steve was unprofessionally discussing marriage and politics (subjects in which we also had differing opinions) during the inspection which made me uncomfortable. It was also more expensive than other local inspection companies, however, I was on a time crunch, and they were the only company who could fit me in on short notice. Also, they do not use drones to inspect roofs like many other companies will. Just some things to keep in mind. I highly suggest going with another company if at all possible. read more

Being a first time homebuyer I wasn't very knowledgeable when it came to home inspections and what should be closely reviewed. With the help of Dino, my husband and I learned so much about the process. Dino made sure we followed him throughout the house while he explained what he was looking at/looking for in great detail. He was very nice and wanted to make sure that we understood everything. I highly recommend absolute safeguard. read more

I highly recommend Absolute Safeguard for a property inspection. We used them on an investment property we are purchasing in Pittsburgh and Dino went over everything in the house thoroughly from top to bottom. He then explained his concerns in a very easy to understand manner. He was also willing to answer my hundreds of questions as he went through the property. Dino was very friendly and approachable while also being completely professional. He issued his written report very quickly - less than 24 hours later. read more

We felt he above and beyond making sure we understood all the features of the home and what items we should consider changing/fixing as well as items to watch. We would definitely recommend Dino and Absolute to our friends. read more

My husband and I purchased a home about a year ago. Dino was the inspector. He missed several major items in the inspection report (knob and tube wiring, broken ventilation fans, broken windows, leaky radiator valves, carpenter ant damage to our porch. He also allowed the homeowner and 5 family members to be present during an inspection that I was paying for. I contacted him to let him know and he was very rude and offered to send me a couple of electrical outlets. After several months of obtaining bids, we went to court and asked for the money for the 11k in repairs. The judge sided with Dino because we had paid for the inspection which we were required to do to obtain the report. There are so many disclaimers in the report that it pretty much says that he is not responsible for anything that he misses. The disclaimer statements also note that he is not a contractor and that licensed professionals should be contacted for concerns. The state of PA doesn't even require that inspectors be licensed. Do yourself a favor and inspect the house yourself. If you see anything that is concerning, call a licensed electrician, plumber, etc for a bid. You will save yourself lots of money and time. This is not to say that all home inspectors are worthless, but this guy is. If you are even thinking about paying him for an inspection, ask to see his contact/ inspection report upfront. You'll be shocked by how many outs this guy has given himself and he needs them because he is worthless. read more
