Commercial Building Inspections

I offer a full range of visual and Infrared inspections for homes and commercial buildings in the Denver metro and mountain areas.

• Thorough Home Inspection and Commercial Building Inspection
• Comprehensive Home Inspection Reports
• Excellent Customer Service
• Computer Generated Reports
• Preliminary Report Printed on Site
• Walk Through Report to Show You the Defects I’ve Found and Provide Time for All Your Questions
• Final Report Delivered Same Day by Email in .PDF file
• Building Permit Reports to Find Out If Work on Your House was Done to Code
• Environmental Report for Your Home and Neighborhood
• Indication of defects requiring further evaluation by specialist will be noted such as  plumbers in Denver to scope sewer lines due to age of systems and old tree growth.

I am a Denver area commercial building inspector and home inspector who understands that the after the inspection service can be the most important.

• I help my clients understand the condition of the property and what will be required to bring it to top condition.
• I take my clients on a thorough walk through at the end of the inspection to talk about defects and what’s required to fix them. Making wise, informed decisions requires reliable, accurate information.
• I deliver a home inspection or commercial building inspection report that is simple to understand, with defects well documented and with resources for correcting problems. All reports come with resources that most property owners, buyers and sellers will find useful and practical.
• I encourage clients, or their representatives, to call after the report is delivered to ask questions, or to find resources, until they are satisfied they understand the condition of the property and what will be required to bring it into top condition.
• I promise to maintain the highest standards in inspection, reporting and client relationships.
• I work every day to improve these things.

When I was studying to be a home inspector, one of my teachers stated that home inspectors save lives everyday. That is true, but I think the warning everyone gets when they begin to ride motorcycles would be a more effective, “when you lose your fear, someone is going to get hurt.” One difference, when you ride a motorcycle it is you who will probably be hurt, but with home inspections it is others who may be hurt.

My greatest nightmare since becoming a property inspector is that I will turn on the news and see a house I inspected in flames. I understand that people’s lives and finances may be very badly affected if I make a mistake. This is a responsibility I take very seriously.

The obvious defects are not as worrisome as those that are hidden. Inspectors are not responsible for inspecting what they can’t see, but the hidden defects are often the most dangerous and costly to repair. Sometimes experience and even intuition can help discover what is hidden behind walls and under floors, but you never know for sure until the structure is opened.

I inspected a condo recently that had flashing problems that caused moisture to wick into walls. I suspected that this would be the case with all the units as I walked the perimeter of the development. Snow on the roof prevented a close up examination of the suspect flashing, but infrared imagery showed an anomaly in the surface temperature of the interior wall that was consistent with water penetration. Even with this evidence, there is no way to know what is actually inside that wall without opening it.

One of my early inspection teachers, a 20 year veteran, said offhand, “You and I all know that it only takes 20 minutes to inspect any house.” Eight years later I am still puzzled by the statement. Maybe I don’t get it but it takes me more than 20 minutes before I enter a house, just getting to know it from the outside. I think this man lost the fear for your safety and security. I promise I never will.
