Everything you need to make a fully informed purchase decision, from the foundational inspection through the environmental and infrastructure add-ons most commonly requested at the time of buying.
Before committing to the largest investment of your life, you deserve a complete, unfiltered assessment of exactly what you are buying. I identify material defects, safety concerns, and maintenance items so you can negotiate with confidence and move forward without surprises.
A brand-new home is not a defect-free home. Builders operate under deadline and cost pressure, and municipal code inspections verify only the legal minimum. My independent new-construction inspection confirms that your investment is sound from the foundation up before you take possession.
Colorado consistently ranks among the states with the highest levels of elevated residential radon. Radon is colorless, odorless, and the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. I use continuous digital monitors that deliver hourly data throughout a minimum 48-hour testing period.
The main sewer line is one of the most expensive repairs a homeowner can face, and it is invisible during a standard inspection. A sewer scope uses professional-grade video equipment to examine the full line for root intrusion, cracks, low spots, and failed joints, performed by a licensed Master Plumber I coordinate with your inspection.
Mold is a structural and health concern that demands professional evaluation. I hold the IAC2 Certified Mold Inspector credential and offer both Limited-Scope and Whole-Home options. All lab fees and visible surface sampling are included in the inspection fee.
Know what buyers will find before they do. A pre-listing inspection lets you address issues on your schedule, price your property with confidence, and eliminate last-minute renegotiations. Qualifying listings can be published on MoveInCertified.com.
Stucco hides its problems well. Moisture trapped behind hardcoat or synthetic stucco (EIFS) can quietly rot sheathing and framing for years before anything shows on the surface. As an EDI Certified Stucco and EIFS Inspector, I provide Level I visual inspections and Level II invasive moisture testing to tell you what is really happening behind the wall, before it becomes a five figure repair.
Services designed for homeowners in the first years of ownership, ensuring your builder delivers on every promise and your property stays in peak condition for years to come.
Most new-home builders offer a 12- to 18-month warranty. A Builder’s Warranty Inspection, completed before your window closes, produces a professionally documented report that leaves your builder no room for ambiguity about what needs to be corrected on their dime.
A home is a dynamic system. My Annual Maintenance Inspection provides a proactive, expert review of your property’s key systems and structural components, allowing minor issues to be addressed before they become costly repairs. Because I am your inspector every year, I track how your home ages over time.
Manufactured homes require a distinct, specialized inspection process that goes well beyond a standard site-built home inspection, including HUD compliance and foundation certifications for FHA, VA, and USDA lending. I bring the specialized training this property type demands.
Once the finish coat goes on, every shortcut underneath it is hidden. I inspect new stucco and EIFS installations at each critical phase, from substrate and flashing through the finish coat, so defects are corrected while repairs are still simple. This is independent, documented quality assurance for anyone building or recladding a home, and some EIFS manufacturers require it as a condition of their warranty.
Targeted testing and consulting for existing homeowners, addressing environmental quality, structural integrity, and regulatory requirements at any point in the ownership lifecycle.
The average person spends roughly 90 percent of their time indoors, yet indoor air is frequently more polluted than outdoor air. My IAQ inspection provides a comprehensive chemical audit, including VOCs, formaldehyde, and other contaminants, as well as source-prediction analysis.
Wildfire smoke is a complex mixture of toxic chemicals and carcinogenic compounds. I offer air sampling, surface sampling, bulk-media VOC and particulate analysis, and specialized testing for dioxins, furans, and heavy metals before or after restoration.
My EMF inspection provides a quantified, objective assessment of your home’s electromagnetic environment, measuring magnetic, radio-frequency, microwave, and electric fields against published national and international standards.
A comprehensive full-property thermal scan maps the entire building envelope, identifying energy loss, moisture infiltration, insulation gaps, hidden plumbing leaks, and electrical anomalies invisible to the naked eye. As a Level 1 Certified Thermographer, I read the images correctly, not just colorfully.
Treating water intrusion symptoms without identifying the root cause guarantees the problem will return. My water intrusion consultation determines the actual pathway water is using to enter the structure and delivers a prioritized plan for permanent resolution.
Compliance with Boulder’s Rental Housing License and SmartRegs is a legal prerequisite for operating a rental unit in the City of Boulder. I hold both required licenses and complete both inspections in a single visit.
