Super grateful our realtor had Brandon from Safeguard come inspect the home we're buying. He did a very thorough job, let us be there during the inspection and called us over to explain things as he was inspecting them, and then took a ton of time at the end to go through the entire report with us. read more

Brandon was extremely thorough and his wide range of expertise was clearly evident. We appreciate his hard work on our large (soon to be) home. read more

I found their service to be very reliable while being the most affordable. In addition, although I just wanted to do asbestos testing to fix a leak in wall, Brandon went above and beyond by providing his input on the possible cause of the leak. So, overall, I highly recommend them for testing and inspection projects. read more

Brandon was a delight to work with. I had a leak and another vendor required an asbestos test in order to proceed with any plumbing assessment. Brandon was quick to respond to my request for a quote and was available in a matter of days to come out for the inspection even during the holidays. I don't live at the property but my tenant noted that he was punctual and professional. He went above and beyond to look into the leak and determine the likely cause. Saved me a headache and unnecessary plumbing expenses down the line! Really grateful. Great value too, thankful for the military discount. Highly recommend! read more

We recently had the pleasure of working with Brandon for a pre-ownership home inspection. As a first time home buyer, we were overwhelmed with everything we needed to know but Brandon made the process seamless. Brandon took his time to explain all about the process and I was able to schedule an inspection right away. We had issues with our builder and couldn't open our doors for 30 minutes past our appointment time but Brandon was very understanding and accommodating. After the inspection, Brandon showed us a website that had a report of all the items that needed to be addressed. The gallery was organized and easy to navigate. He wrote detailed comments on all items that had issues and even took an aerial picture with his drone. The pictures were clear and listed into sections, and the relevant items were boxed or had arrows so that we didn't have any problems locating them. Brandon also went back to our house for a second time to check on our fences and driveway. Brandon is everything you would want in a home inspector: Friendly, thorough, and professional. We learned so much from our experience and couldn't recommend him enough! read more

I feel so lucky that I found Brandon and SafeGuard Inspections. I talked to four inspectors before finding Brandon and the difference was easy to see, right from the start. Brandon was friendly, responsive, and had very competitive pricing. He uses some really cool software for his inspection reports, and it helped that I was able to see a sample of his work before deciding to hire him. His samples were detailed and clear, and they convinced me on the spot to hire him. When Brandon arrived to do the inspection, he met or exceeded all of my expectations. He's punctual, personable, and extremely detail-oriented. At the end of the inspection, he took time to carefully walk me through some high-importance areas. I couldn't be happier. I can't recommend Brandon and SafeGuard Property Inspections highly enough. To be honest, I want to have him on retainer to come and inspect all the remodeling work I'm about to embark on. That's how comfortable his expertise and amazing attitude made me feel. Thanks, Brandon! read more

Had an issue with moisture after all the rains. Weird smell in one room of the house and other symptoms. Brandon was able to schedule an appt right away and did a super thorough job checking for moisture in the floor and walls with the IR cam and sensor and also took samples for a mold test. He was very helpful at explaining everything he was doing and went the extra mile to check other rooms in the house and offer suggestions on how to prevent the issue from occurring again. 10/10 ! read more

My search for the right inspector was turning into a sour effort. Then I called Safeguard property Inspections. In minutes, I knew I had found the person I was looking for. Not only did he have all the correct answers, but he also even rearranged his schedule to accommodate mine! RELIEVING MY STRESS WAS HUGE!!! Thx Brandon for the prompt professional job you did. Unfortunately, five stars isn't nearly enough. :) read more

Really enjoyed working with Brandon and JD on my property inspections. They have all the knowledge and every fancy tool to get the job done! I originally had them out to do a comprehensive mold test and while they were visiting they ended up inspecting everything from my roof to yard to water meter. They offered a ton of valuable recommendations(I learned a TON from them), excellent customer service and their pricing is fair. Look no further! read more

I am super happy with safeguard inspections. I reached out to Brandon with concerns of fire damage in a house my clients are in the process of buying. Brandon was able to make it out and inspect attic structure super fast. I also received the report same day, within a few hr. Would definitely recommend, I am keeping his info handy for next inspection needed. read more

Hired these guys through my general contractor who said they are the best he has ever worked with. The owner Brandon was super knowledgeable which makes sense as his impressive resume includes long stints as both a roof contractor and as an inspector for the City of San Diego. We had signs of water intrusion after recent heavy rains. Brandon did a thorough inspection for moisture and was only able to identify one area. He went up on to the roof, found the problem, showed it to my contractor and suggested the exact repair which my contractor agreed with. Brandon also used a mold sensor air sample collection device in all the areas we were concerned with. Those were sent to the lab and we received a comprehensive yet easy to read lab report broken down by room/area. Brandon was easy to schedule with and showed up on time. Throughout the site visit and follow-up Brandon was extremely professional. He communicated in layman's terms what was going on and what we needed to know. Also, seems to be just a friendly and good guy, a pleasure to do business with. Most importantly, he was able to completely relieve our stress around our moisture and mold concerns while providing a simple and easy path to remediation. Great company offering great service. 5-Star well-earned! read more

Very responsive and easy to communicate with Brandon. He has a lot of systems in place for reminders, payments, reports etc which made things easy. Buying a property you are worried about the condition of the property and we received a very thorough inspection report and an explanation of major and minor issues that may need attention in the future. He explained everything in great detail and the report also had everything with pictures. He has a lot of great experience for residential and commercial inspections and offers a very great rate. I highly recommend his services! read more

We had our one year new home warranty approaching and I contacted Safeguard Property Inspections to give my new home a good look. Brandon arrived on time and conducted a thorough inspection on our home. His report was sent to my email a few hours after he left and it was easy to navigate, print and save. He made sure to show me the things that would be on the report and did a great job of explaining why the areas needed to be addressed. It was very educational and we are glad we hired an outside inspector to assist us. Thank you! read more

Mr. Spurgeon was very professional and proficient with his inspections. I had purchased a duplex and specifically requested him because of his reviews. This gentleman went inside the attics, looking specifically for leaks and any type of ceiling structure issues. He went underneath the units, looking for any issues in the flooring and the foundation. I had a very good experience with this gentleman; if I'm to purchase another property, I definitely would use his expertise again. Mr Spurgeons reporting portfolio with all the images and information was very formal, what was extreamly helpful is that he would word inform me of the issues that were wrong with the property but also identify the complexity of the repairs if it was a deal-breaker or not. The toughest thing is to find somebody you trust. After doing business with this gentleman, I can definitely trust his work for my next property. I would say if you're doubting an inspector, call Mr. Spurgeon and talk to him on the phone. You can tell he knows what he's talking about. you Thank , Leo read more

Brandon Spurgeon of Safeguard Property Inspections inspected our roof in Rancho Mirage using drone photography and he explained that walking on a tile roof unnecessarily is a bad idea because it can cause unnecessary damage. Brandon carried out a thorough manual inspection of our attic too. He found that the stain in one area of our celling was not caused by a roof leak, but by an improper past furnace install and upgrade. Brandon provided a detailed PDF report delivered by email including areal phots of our roof tiles showing broken tiles which will be very useful when I bid out the roofing repair this spring. All in all, the inspection by Brandon was impressive and through. I would be happy to recommend Brandon Spurgeon to anyone who wants an experienced and ethical person to inspect their home. BTW, the cost of the inspection was very reasonable and the process of scheduling and payment was transparent and easy. read more

Brandon did structural inspection for my house and he was very responsive and professional.
