Yes. Our ICC Certified Inspectors perform inspections as prescribed by the “Healthy Residential Rentals for All” Denver’s rental inspection, compliance, and licensing process. We are committed to providing our unsurpassed inspection services to property owners and those who occupy these rental properties.  As a part of Denver's new ordinance, all individuals and companies offering residential rentals are now required to have to have a limited inspection for safety and function as specified in Denver's  Residential Rental Inspection Checklist.

Don’t be fooled that a new home is flawless, simply because it is new, or was inspected and approved by the local building officials.

Even new homes are not immune from defects or exempt from human error. Mistakes happen. Quality is often sacrificed for saving time or money or is a result of contractors with poor skills. This unfortunate myth is often busted. Even when the builder warrants the work for one full year, such guaranties are of no benefit unless inherent defects are discovered. Construction defects and safety violations are surprisingly common, but the majority of home inspection findings tend to be routine in nature.

A sewer scope and radon test are important but optional services. We highly recommend them for all homes.

To ensure the system is reducing the radon level in the home you should have it tested prior to purchase and every 2-years. It is not uncommon for a homes with a radon mitigation system to have radon levels that exceed the EPA action level if 4.0 pCi/L.

The EPA recommends all homes be tested. It is not uncommon for homes without basements to have elevated levels of radon.

While it is impossible to list everything an inspector could possibly check for, the following list will give you a general idea of what to expect. The most common defects are:

• Roofing Defects; Ceiling Stains, Indicating Past or Current Roof Leaks; Water Intrusion

• Electrical Safety Hazards; Faulty Installation, Building Violations

• Hazardous Conditions Involving Gas Heaters

• Violations In Garages

• Minor plumbing defects

• Failed seals around windows

• Sewer Line damage

• Elevated levels of Radon Gas

This small list of likely home inspection findings would probably occur in most used homes.

Yes. A sample report is available in the "Services" section of our website.

Often negotiation of the inspection objection items take longer than negotiating the price of the home. Many home buyers are under the impression that the sellers must repair the problems discovered by home inspectors? This is a common misunderstanding about the purpose of a home inspection.

The purpose of a home inspection is not to corner the seller with a repair list or renegotiate the selling price. The primary objective is to know what you are buying before you buy it. We will be glad to answer any follow-up questions you have regarding the condition of the home.
