Home Inspector in Brighton, CO
Brighton is a century-old farm town with a historic downtown grid, 1970s–90s neighborhoods, and fast new construction on former farmland. Old foundations and sewer in the core, expansive soil and builder shortcuts on the edges, and wells and septic on the acreage. Justin inspects all of it with a structural engineer's eye and a buyer's deadline in mind.
What the housing stock tells an inspector before he arrives.
New subdivisions dominate the count, but downtown Brighton homes are among the oldest in the north metro.
Brighton's new subdivisions sit on clay that heaves slabs within a few years. Downtown homes have a century of settlement. Acreage lots add wells, septic and outbuildings. Justin reads all three.

Homes built between 1900 and today have a known list. Justin works through all of it.
