Frederick wears its coal mining heritage proudly, from Miners Park in the old downtown to the names on its street signs, while growing into one of the Carbon Valley’s most popular places to buy a new home. Families settle here for the small-town feel around the Frederick Recreation Area and Milavec Reservoir, with newer neighborhoods like Wyndham Hill and No Name Creek adding hundreds of homes within sight of the Front Range.
I am Steve Stom, owner and sole inspector at Total Home Inspection Services LLC. When you book with me, the certified professional on the phone is the one at your inspection, in your crawlspace, and on your roof, typically for about four hours, with thermal imaging included.
What Frederick Homes Ask of an Inspector
- New builds dominate the market here, and building to code is a minimum standard. I inspect in accordance with best practices and recommend a return visit before the builder’s one-year warranty expires.
- The historic townsite’s older homes carry generations of modifications worth sorting carefully, along with original sewer lines under mature trees.
- Like the rest of the region, Frederick sits in a high-radon zone; my continuous digital monitors record hourly readings for at least 48 hours.
- Expansive clay soils make drainage, grading, and foundation behavior a focus on every lot I inspect in the Carbon Valley.
Colorado requires no inspector licensing. I am InterNACHI Certified, a Level 1 Infrared Thermographer, and IAC2 Mold Certified, with more than 231 hours of continuing education. Schedule your Frederick inspection online, or call or text (720) 442-0785.
