Awful company! If you want good communication and timely work, go somewhere else. We are selling our home and the buyers contracted with Homeguard for termite and roof inspection. The problems their inspector found happen to be problems they bid to repair. We should have gotten other quotes and gone with a better company. They were supposed to do some termite treatments and wood repair. They came out and worked for about 6 hours which we were good with, then it went downhill from there. They told us they needed a second day, but couldn't come for two more weeks. This put us on a Friday with closing of escrow set for Monday. Our realtor kept reaching out to them to get an ETA on their technician because she was eager to get everything finished up for the buyers. They said between 1:00-3:00. When we drove by at 4:00, nobody was at property so we assumed all work was completed. It wasn't until I emailed and asked for a copy of the invoice that we were told they would need to finish up on Saturday (today). It is noon and no technicians are there. No one is answering emails or phone calls. As the sellers, we are expected to pay for work that isn't even being done! Escrow closing is now on hold because of this lousy company!!!! read more

I have a property in escrow in Murrieta, which is not the area where I usually do business therefore I had to try to find multiple vendors to inspect a single family. HomeGuard save me lots of time calling unknown vendors and try to schedule the same day at the same time, which is usually very difficult. I talked to Sam from HomeGuard and he took care of the entire process. He grouped all his different inspectors so they would be at the same time and my client could have all the inspections done the same day. He was efficient, professional, friendly, punctual and reliable. As a Realtor, I am very pleased with this company, this is the second time we are using it and we are planning to do it in the future. read more

Just wanted to give a shout out to Melanie Wilner, the Customer Service Representative I spoke with today (7/22/24) at HomeGuard Incorporated. I am a Realtor in San Diego and had a last minute, immediate need for a Home Inspection for one of my clients. Melanie was fantastic! Her communication skills are excellent and she not only was able to help get me a "same-day" appointment, but she did so with courtesy and with patience. For anyone looking for an outstanding service-oriented company, look no further than HomeGuard. read more

Home inspection completed by Cris. I am stunned by his attention to detail and quality of work. He tested every single outlet he could find and reported every single item that was noteworthy. He was really knowledgeable and explained things clearly. Had insightful recommendations and quick to submit the report. Thank you!! read more

Super easy home inspection. Guys were in and out in less than an hour. They offered to show me some of their findings while they were here and explained the process. Report was done same day. read more

Buying a home is so stressful, and the inspection is such a uncertain step to it- but HomeGuard made it as smooth and helpful as possible ! Cris Gonzalez was awesome and walked us through everything on the report and explained it to us so thoroughly. They were able to get us in right away, with the quick escrow process we got the answers and info we needed with a one day turn around! Pro tip - it is definitely worth scoping the sewer drain for the extra service. Thanks Cris and the HomeGuard team! read more

This is a review for both HomeGuard Home Inspections & Home Warranties. I recommend HomeGuard to all of my residential Real Estate clients for their Home Warranty needs based on their amazing customer service and great coverage for very reasonable prices. Thuy Quach is AMAZING! She and Sara Forgnone are rockin' it out here in San Diego on the forefront while their back office up in NorCal -- when I call in to schedule Home Inspections or get Home Warranty quotes -- couldn't be more polite & efficient! In 2018, HomeGuard began offering Home Inspections down here in San Diego and about 80 - 90% of my clients choose HomeGuard based on price alone (I provide HomeGuard + 2 other Inspection companies and they choose between those or any they may themselves). Chris Benne, Cris Gonzalez and Andrew Candelario are 3 of their awesome local Home Inspectors! Can't say enough about these guys! They are SUPER friendly, extremely knowledgeable, very thorough, and take their time explaining every "picture item" at the end of each Home Inspection. My clients truly appreciate them answering all of their questions & I appreciate them answering mine in front of my clients to make sure there isn't anything we're missing. My clients have also recently started using HomeGuard for their Termite & Roof Inspections too because they are now offering both in San Diego. HomeGuard is offering a special through February where these 2 extra inspections come free with every Home Inspection you order. Ricardo & Carlos on their Termite team are awesome and Andrew is being trained on Termite too now. Rick is their Roofing contractor and although I've not met him yet, his reports are just as detailed as the ones I get from my preferred roofing companies. Can't say enough about HomeGuard all around! Thank you all! Your customer service and techs in the field are TOP NOTCH! Plus you provide the same quality level of reports and thoroughness in half of the time as my other Inspection companies. CON: I think their pricing on Termite repairs after HomeGuard performs a Termite Inspection are too high. The tenting / fumigation pricing is competitive as is their treatment of subterranean termites, but their damaged wood repair / replacement is double most of my other Termite/Pest Control companies. I'm hopeful they'll get it worked out. read more

We scheduled our home inspection with only having heard horror stories from other young home buyers. We got immediately schedule for 24 hours later. We were so fortunate to have Cris Gonzalez, show up. He not only did an amazing thorough job in inspecting every part of our future home. He also took his time to explain his findings to us in great detail to assure we understood everything. I contacted Cris 2 days later to discuss something more in detail to assure the contractor was not trying to fool me and again he was prompt in his reply and detailed in his explanation. Overall great service and I would schedule Cris every future home I buy. read more

I'm a real estate agent, and I have worked with HomeGuard for most of my transactions, including the transaction of purchasing our own house. It was such a great experience working with them! All the stuff there were very friendly, quick, and responsive. They usually do same day report, and they have very competitive price! Cris Gonzalez was our inspector. He's very detailed, knowledgeable, and patient. He always goes above and beyond to make sure that buyers understand the situation with the house. He will always be our first choice of home inspector! We highly recommend Cris and HomeGuard to everyone. read more

Chris G was tremendous at being on time and getting the Job done. Carlos termite terminator was there to identify the redhead two winged varmint. I got to. Hand it to Jomeguard the termite guy was there the home inspector was there and so was Rick the roof inspector!!! I give you guys a 10 Pulitzer of ten read more

I've used this company since 2015 and I couldn't be happier with their professionalism and experienced Inspectors. They all have such a wonderful temperament and are always on time, True Pros. Pricing is hands down the BEST for the quality of Home Inspectors, Roofer, Termite or, whatever you need. read more

Sara Forgnone first introduced me to HomeGuard earlier this year. I've been in the real estate business in San Diego for almost 10 years and the general inspection is a critical component to any transaction. Sara made it super easy for me to give Homeguard's inspection services a try with a promotional package that I could offer to my clients. Their general Inspection pricing beats the competitors by far, and my buyers have been using Homeguard's current promotion of a free roof inspection and termite inspection when ordering the general inspection. I have had Cris Gonzales as the general Inspector in multiple transactions this year, all from the initial recommendation from Sara. And Cris has been fantastic! I know that if I ever have an issue, I can call Sara directly and she will get right back to me. My only "complaint" is that she keeps stopping by my office and bringing me M&Ms, and I continue to eat the entire bag all in one sitting. So I blame her for my excessive sugar intake! read more

We had HomeGuard come out and inspect the home we were buying. Our inspector Cris G in San Diego was excellent, he knew exactly what to look for and walked us through his findings the same day as well as getting us the report in 24 hours which was excellent. Our terminate inspector Carlos was good too. After we closed escrow HomeGuard did the repairs and tenting which all went smooth. Ricardo came out and did some framing repairs from the termite damage , he was great and did good work. I will use HomeGuard for sure again and would highly recommend them for new home buyers! read more

Just had a house inspection done by HomeGuard. Andrew and Carlos were extremely good and professional! Very attentive to all the details and literally went top to bottom throughout the entire house! Answered all of our questions and had a report ready within one day! Thanks again for your help! read more

I used Cristobal again (Cris) and I can't say enough about him. He's a pro through and through. I would recommend him and HomeGuard.

HomeGuard came to do an inspection for any wood destroying insects and wood damage. Haleigh took my call and educated me on my inspection and the process. She was great. The inspector was Ricardo and I found him to be very professional and polite. He conducted a complete inspection and was very diligent. Once Ricardo finished the inspection he answered all of my questions and advised the report would be emailed to me by the end of the day. I highly recommend HomeGuard and if possible request Ricardo for your inspection. read more

I highly recommend this team of inspectors. They were pleasant, timely, efficient and thorough. I will use them again in the future. Their prices were reasonable too! read more

Today we had HomeGuard inspect the property we are trying to buy. We signed up for the Roof, Termite and Home inspections. First off, they were very timely, which rates high in my book. The inspectors actually got there before us... Secondly, my Home inspector Cris Gonzalez went above and beyond. I will recommend him to everyone! He was very friendly and easy to talk with. He was extremely thorough and even went above and beyond, He explained everything so we simple folk could have a grasp on the results of the report. Which was really appreciated! He had a great knowledge of all the parts of the home and systems which really instilled confidence in the findings. Third, the company was very easy to book with and affordable! If you ever bought a house you know those are two things you need. Because buying a house is stressful. Thank You HomeGuard! read more

HomeGuard Inc. does an incredible job. Cris did our inspection today and he is always very thorough and makes sure to go over the reports with our buyers in great detail. They are very accommodating and we use them for all of our inspections. Thank you! read more

We used their services on a home inspection. Not a word about presence of any mold. Next you know, we buy the house and I smell mold in the kitchen under-sink cabinet. Even if they don't actually check for mold specifically, still, you could clearly see mold at the base where the base and the dry wall meet. They could have atleast brought it to our notice, so we could further invest in a mold inspection-but no. And now 450$ spent on the inspection, $$$ on the house, it's only our 2nd day of move and we regret our purchase. I cannot tell you how horrible, sad we feel. It's a lot of money again to determine the extent of the damage. See pics for reference. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Today we had our home inspection and we were more than impressed with the service. The company was able to schedule us within a short notice on a holiday weekend and the home inspector Cris Gonzalez was amazing. He was very thorough with his inspection, explained every detail, and reasons for concerns. Cris was very knowledgeable and genuine. He had a great personality and it was evident he is passionate for what he does. Thank you so much. read more

We had a home inspection on our new home today and Cris Gonzalez came out. He was super professional and spent the time to go through every thing he pointed out in his report. You always expect a home inspection company to know what they're doing but Cris spent the time going over everything and explaining it with us. We have already referred you guys to our brother and sister in law for their home they just put an offer in . Highly recommended ! read more

They're very fast with response times, and Chris has great knowledge when it comes to his inspections and delivery to our clients.

Sara is my go to home inspection rep! She is very responsive and is always accommodating for me and my clients needs even on short notice. They are very competitively priced and offer comprehensive inspections including termite and roof which normally is outside the scope of a regular home inspection. I highly recommend reaching out to Sara if you're an agent looking for a great responsive home inspection company! read more

My husband and I just purchased our first home. We were given a few options by our Realtor for home and termite inspections. We ended up choosing HomeGuard, and so glad we did. Over and above them offering the best prices, they were so helpful in answering all of our questions, and our inspectors Chris and Ricardo explained the findings of the inspections in a way we could understand!! Thank you HomeGuard for making this experience easier than we were expecting. Highly recommend them! read more

I've been a Realtor now for 17yrs in the Temecula area and never had the service like I've received from HomeGuard. Their home inspectors are above far above the others and always early to our scheduled appointments. My customers enjoy the easy to read report along with the quality digital pictures which include the roof! I highly recommend using their services, they also have a package with Termite and Roof which makes them impossible to compete with. Thank you Again Chris B for your service and Quality work. Sincerely EDWARD Q 1st American Realty read more

We noticed a leak from our roof and water went into our house. I called homeguard and they sent Rick Kludy immediately for exam and inspection. He is extremely competent and professional. It was a great experience working with Rick. He took his time to explain his findings to us in great detail to assure we understood everything. His repair was quick and thorough. Our repairs coordinator Jeff Read also provided great service. He was prompt, kind and professional in his replay and detailed in his explanation. Great service! Good Job! read more

I have just had the HomeGuard team work on 3 of my recent transactions and the experience has been top notch. Each property was completely different from the other and the inspectors came in and tackled each one with obvious knowledge, experience and professionalism. From the custom rural ranch estate to the tract home, the inspections were extremely thorough and the inspectors took their time with the buyers to go over all of their questions. On one of the properties, the house was vacant and the seller's had turned off all of the utilities. The listing agent didn't tell us - knowing we had an inspection scheduled. The inspector was obviously unable to do a full inspection. HomeGuard understood our situation and the inspector came back for free once the utilities were turned back on and finished the full inspection. That does not typically happen! A lot of inspectors will charge an additional fee to come back out to a property, even though it may not be the buyer's fault. I had to order a rush Pest Inspection for an all cash, quick close transaction and my Account Manager Laurie Duffy was able to secure an inspection for me immediately. She saved the day! One last thing to mention, I love how HomeGuard offers payment upfront or through escrow for my clients - this is a huge deal for some clients. HomeGuard is definitely a company I will refer to my clients as an inspection choice. The customer service & our inspector, Andrew, have been great. I look forward to another successful transaction with HomeGuard on my team. read more

We initially used HomeGuard for our termite clearance, much to our regret. HomeGuard humiliated us in front of our buyers. HomeGuard gave us a clean report, which we initially thought was great, and our home is very well maintained! However, in San Diego, every home is going to have some trace of termites, so our buyers didn't believe it and sent their own inspector. The buyers' company started in the attic and as soon as they pulled down the ladder access, they saw termite wings on the ladder. Within two feet of the ladder access in the attic were termite body parts laying on top of white plastic sheeting. In order to miss these things you would have to be blind or have no clue what a termite looked like. That's understandable for a homeowner, but not a termite inspector!! I think HomeGuard either didn't charge us or refunded their fee, so that speaks well of them, but I still can't recommend their termite clearance services. At the same time we scheduled HomeGuard for the termite inspection of the home we are selling, we also scheduled them for a home inspection of the home we are buying. The home inspection was satisfactory, but the inspector rushed through as fast as he could, and even told me not to follow him around or ask any questions because it would slow him down; he would talk to me when he was done. He was knowledgeable and professional otherwise, but it was still distasteful and off-putting. He was also going to skip a portion of the attic because the access was not in an obvious place; I had to point out the access point to him. We scheduled a second company for another inspection for our own peace of mind since the home had a lot of deferred maintenance. We had a much better customer experience with the other company, and got a more informational report, but no additional major items were discovered in the second report. I think HomeGuard said they would send that inspector for some customer service training. read more

My partner and I have used Cris as the inspector for our last few homes and have to say he is excellent. He is professional, knowledgable, and efficient. We appreciate his ability in explaining everything in a manner that is easy for our buyers to understand. He definitely goes above and beyond. He's not just your average inspector. We received the inspection report quickly which is something we greatly value. Our long time inspector retired and we were worried we wouldn't find anyone else we trusted as much, but we met Cris and he has exceeded our expectations. read more
