Total Home Inspection in Lafayette, CO

Lafayette grew up as a coal mining town, and its housing tells that story: compact early-1900s homes in Old Town, ranches and split-levels from the decades that followed, and steady new construction on the city’s east side. A buyer here can compare a hundred-year-old house with a two-year-old one in the same week. I inspect both regularly, and the difference in what to look for is exactly why an experienced, certified inspector earns their fee.

I am Steve Stom, owner and sole inspector at Total Home Inspection Services LLC. Every inspection is performed by me personally, takes about four hours, and includes thermal imaging at no additional charge.

Lafayette’s Inspection Priorities

  • Old Town homes commonly combine original structure with a century of modifications. I evaluate foundations, framing, electrical, and plumbing on their actual condition, and I am frank about which findings matter and which are simply character.
  • The area’s mining history and expansive clay soils make foundation movement and drainage worth particular attention throughout Lafayette. Grading, gutters, and slab behavior get unhurried scrutiny on my inspections.
  • Mature-tree neighborhoods mean sewer lines worth scoping before closing.
  • Newer construction east of town gets the same independence I bring everywhere: code is a minimum, and I inspect to best practices.

The Value of Doing It Right

I hold InterNACHI CPI, Level 1 Infrared Thermographer, and IAC2 Mold certifications in a state that requires none of them. My inspections run longer than most, my reports arrive within 24 hours, and my availability to you does not end when the report does.
