SERVICES
Guardian Calling enjoys helping people achieve their dreams! One of those dreams being home ownership. We support resilient home inspections to ensure that you are well informed and comfortable with your forever home.
​
Some things to know when considering an Ethical Home Inspector: Repairs can't be made within 12 months of Inspection. There should be no monetary gain beyond the unbiased inspection service. If a Home Inspector also offers to fix the deficienceis, take this as a possible red flag. See the InterNACHI Inspector Code of Ethics or more information.
