Residential Inspections
Buying a home in Fort Collins can be a big decision in life. As a Certified Professional Inspector® trained by InterNACHI, I adhere to their comprehensive Residential Standards of Practice. My home inspection covers the visible and accessible structure, systems and components of the home, inside and out, from the foundation to the roof, using the latest tools and technology.
I encourage you to attend your inspection so that I can describe my process, explain my findings, point out important maintenance items, and answer all of your questions.
Following my evaluation, I will compile my findings in an easy-to- read report, which will include detailed descriptions and high-resolution digital photos of any issues I’ve discovered. I’ll email you your report within 24 hours, and my job isn’t finished until you understand everything in it.
Pre-Listing Inspections
If you’re selling your home, let me inspect it before you even list it. A Move-In Certified Seller’s Inspection alerts you to any defects or problems so that you can address them before prospective buyers discover them. Use your inspection report as a great marketing tool — which may even convince the prospective buyer to waive his inspection contingency. Take the time you need to obtain reasonable repair estimates, avoid 11th-hour delays, and justify your full asking price by having your home for sale inspected now.
Radon Testing
Radon is a radioactive gas. It is colorless, odorless and chemically inert. Though it is undetectable by human senses, it is a leading cause of lung cancer. Without radon testing, there is no way of knowing how much is in your home. At least 50% of homes along the Colorado Front Range have radon levels high enough to require mitigation. Get your new home checked for radon so you can keep yourself and loved ones safe.
The test is completed over a 48 hour period in the lowest part of the living space in a home. A test can be done separately or at the same time as a Home Inspection.
Infrared Camera
Whether you're buying a home or just want to know if your current home is energy efficient, our infrared photography can show you just where that cold spot is in the winter or where the heat is coming in the summer.
Once you've found these spots, you can fix them with targeted repairs. Why not enjoy the comfort of your own home while saving on energy costs? It's a win win!
