Total Home Inspection in Dacono, CO

Dacono carries its history in its name, coined from the names of three women, Daisy, Cora, and Nona, in the town’s coal mining days. Today, it anchors the southern end of the Carbon Valley along I-25, and most of its growth is new: subdivisions like the Glens and the neighborhoods spreading east of the interstate, built for buyers who want new construction within reach of Denver, Boulder, and Longmont.

New is exactly where an independent inspector earns his fee. I am Steve Stom, owner and sole inspector at Total Home Inspection Services LLC, and after 18-plus years, I can say plainly that some of the most expensive defects I find are in homes less than five years old.

Dacono Inspection Priorities

• Pre-closing new construction inspections catch what a municipal inspector’s brief visit cannot: flashing shortcuts, ventilation errors, incomplete insulation, and rushed mechanical installations.
• The Builder’s 11th-Month Warranty Inspection is the most underused tool a new homeowner has. Documented findings before the warranty expires leave the builder no wiggle room.
• Expansive soils across the Carbon Valley make early slab behavior, grading, and drainage worth careful evaluation even on brand-new lots.
• Dacono’s older homes near the original townsite get the full treatment too, including radon testing with hourly-reading continuous monitors.

I am an InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector, a Level 1 Infrared Thermographer, and an IAC2 Mold Certified Professional. Thermal imaging is included with every inspection. Schedule online, or call or text (720) 442-0785.
