Angela did a thorough and comprehensive building and pest inspection for a property we were looking to purchase. Her report reflected how important it is to get a qualified inspector before every purchase. Many thanks Angela!Posted on Google Adam DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Prior to starting our housing build we were told by numerous people that having an inspector - a good inspector - was absolutely essential. As we near the end point of that process I can confirm that this is 100% true - and we've been fortunate to have Angela from Guardian in that role for us. There have been many issues ranging from minor to major that we would ourselves would not have picked up on, and I'm not convinced that our builder would have rectified on their own. Angela is very meticulous and also goes out of her way to build a relationship with the site supervisor (which is important for getting stuff acted on!) Absolutely recommend.Posted on Google sven goldringTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Angela has been fantastic to deal with.

We were very impressed with Angela’s professional and thorough building inspection. The report she provided was extremely detailed, with clear photos that made everything easy to understand.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We hired Angela to conduct a pre-purchase building and pest inspection, and we couldn’t be happier with the service. She was thoroughly professional, conducting a comprehensive inspection while clearly explaining her findings in a way that was easy to understand. We have had five building inspections completed in the last year, in two different states, by different inspectors and Angela has come out on top. Her concise yet detailed approach gave us complete confidence in moving forward with our purchase.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
As a first-time apartment owner in an established build, faced with ongoing building defects and an uncooperative body corporate, I felt completely out of my depth and unsure where to begin. Angela came highly recommended, and from the moment she took my call I knew I had the right person to guide me. She immediately put me at ease and provided a clear path forward. Angela is passionate, highly experienced, and genuinely cares about helping people through the difficult situations many of us unexpectedly face.
