Total Home Inspection in Gunbarrel CO

Gunbarrel offers something increasingly rare in Boulder County: established neighborhoods with real lots, mature trees, and proximity to both Boulder and Longmont, at a different price point than the city itself. Much of the housing stock here dates to the 1970s and 1980s, around the country club and throughout the surrounding subdivisions, which means many Gunbarrel homes are now on their second or third generation of roofs, mechanical systems, and renovations. That is precisely the age of home where a thorough inspection earns its fee many times over.

I am Steve Stom, owner and sole inspector at Total Home Inspection Services LLC. I personally perform every inspection, typically over about four hours, with limited scope thermal imaging included at no additional charge.

What I Watch for in Gunbarrel Homes

• Homes of this era often carry original electrical panels, aluminum branch wiring in some cases, and decades of owner improvements of varying quality. I evaluate the actual condition, not the listing description.
• Mature trees and 40- to 50-year-old sewer lines are a classic combination for root intrusion. A video sewer scope before closing is inexpensive insurance against a five-figure surprise.
• Boulder County radon levels warrant testing in every transaction. My continuous digital monitors record hourly readings for at least 48 hours.
• Original windows, insulation, and ductwork in 1970s construction are clearly visible on thermal imaging, which is included with every inspection.

Colorado has no licensing requirement for home inspectors, so credentials are how you compare. I am an InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector, a Level 1 Infrared Thermographer, and an IAC2 Mold Certified professional, with more than 231 hours of continuing education. My inspections run about an hour longer than most because I examine everything, and I remain available to you after closing at no charge.
