About Total Home Inspection Services

You’re not just buying a home inspection.
You’re buying years of experience.

Many homebuyers don’t realize that Colorado has no licensing procedure or requirements to become a home inspector, so it is important to compare qualifications before making your choice of inspector.

I have over 18 years of experience spanning construction, residential and commercial building, plumbing, and property inspection.  I am continually learning everything there is to know about every part of a house, from the sewer connection to the rain cap on the chimney. I also have significant experience in the design, installation, and service of high-efficiency boilers, hydronic heating, and solar thermal systems.

Additionally, I have joined and earned the Certified Professional Inspector (CPI) designation from InterNACHI, the world’s leading association for home inspectors. InterNACHI is also the only home inspector school accredited by the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education & Training (ACCET), a national accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.  All inspections that I perform meet or exceed InterNACHI’s Standards of Practice, and I strictly adhere to InterNACHI’s Code of Ethics.  To become a CPI, one must pass examinations on the Code of Ethics, Standards of Practice, and general inspection knowledge, and then complete various courses covering all systems in a home.  To remain a CPI, InterNACHI requires completing at least 24 continuing education credit hours per year (Licensing requirements in some other states require as few as 12).

  • To date, I have completed over 231 credit hours of home inspection and building science continuing education, and am constantly taking more to improve the service that I offer to my clients.
  • I use the latest tools and techniques, including electrical circuit analyzers, combustible gas and carbon monoxide detectors, thermal imaging, mold sampling, and radon test equipment.
  • I am a Level 1 Infrared Thermographer, an IAC2 Certified Mold Inspector, an EDI Certified Stucco Inspector, and certified in Colorado radon testing.
  • The detail and quality of my reports are unmatched, and every report includes color photographs and diagrams that actually describe the entire property condition (not just a repair ‘punch list’).
  • I work exclusively for you. You are my client, and I am proud of your trust. I will never do anything to betray that.
  • A home inspection requires a lot of work. A thorough inspection depends on the individual inspector’s own diligence, effort, and character. If you hire me to inspect your home, I will give you my very best- I inspect every home with the same degree of expertise, hard work, and care that I would provide to a member of my own family.
