Home Inspector in Arvada, CO
Arvada runs from Olde Town bungalows and 1950s ranches to 1980s–90s subdivisions in the west and new Candelas and Leyden Rock construction. Three eras, three defect lists. Justin inspects all of them with a structural engineer's eye and a buyer's deadline in mind.
What the housing stock tells an inspector before he arrives.
A wide spread: half the stock predates 1980, and a growing share is under 10 years old.
West Arvada subdivisions sit on expansive clay that heaves slabs and flatwork. Older east-side homes have 60 years of settlement. Justin reads which story your foundation is telling.
Sources: Jefferson County Assessor. Housing figures from assessor records on file.
Homes built between 1955 and 2000 have a known list. Justin works through all of it.
Beyond the standard InterNACHI scope, these are the era-specific items that show up again and again from Olde Town to Candelas.
