Justin Kast

Former civil/structural engineer. Full-time home inspector since 2019. InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector.

Justin spent the first part of his career as a civil and structural engineer, calculating loads, specifying foundations and reviewing how buildings behave on Colorado's expansive soils. In 2019 he left the office for the crawlspace and has inspected homes across the Denver metro full time since.

That background changes what an inspection is. Most inspectors can tell you a foundation wall is cracked. Justin can tell you why it cracked, whether it is still moving, and what a repair would involve. He brings the same approach to roofs, framing, decks and drainage, then explains it on site in plain language and talks through what repairs typically cost.

He holds a 4.9 rating with 96% five-star reviews. Reviewers mention the same two things: he walks through every finding in person, and nothing in the report is a surprise.

Both are backed by InterNACHI, not by us. That is the point.

Thermal imaging, available

An infrared camera shows temperature differences the eye cannot: moisture behind drywall, missing insulation, overheating breakers, air leaks around windows. Many inspectors sell this as an add-on. Justin treats it as part of the job.
