My name is Gabe Ortiz. I am an Off Duty Firefighter and a interNACHI, and TREC certified home inspector, serving the greater Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) area. Only InterNACHI-certfied home inspectors have the education and experience it takes to ensure that you will receive a professional and thorough home inspection.
Gabe from SafeGuard is a stellar inspector, one of the best I’ve ever worked with. He was diligent with his inspection, which is important. Beyond that, though, he took a good bit of time to explain the findings, and their significance, to me. This helped us make a good request for repairs, in not too much time. That RR was ultimately accepted, and saved me more money than the inspection cost. Can’t argue with that result.
Gabe Ortiz is an all-star inspector. He gave us fine details on all required inspection points, and his comments reflect the extra concerns of a Dallas firefighter, which he is. He stayed as long as we wanted for Q&A's. We readily see why our Redfin Agent Robin Glaysher referred us to Mr. Ortiz for the two home inspections we needed.
Gabriel was awesome to work with. His review was incredibly thorough and he also walked us through any major issues that he saw immediately after his inspection. He includes photos within his report which helped us point the issue out to contractors that we hired later to fix it. We hired Gabriel again for a re-inspection of the home during our walkthrough before closing and he was extremely flexible with time given the short notice. If you want an honest man and someone you trust, Gabriel is the way to go!
