Home Inspector in Castle Rock, CO
Castle Rock has doubled in size since 2000, so most inspections here are on homes under 25 years old, and many are brand new. Expansive soil, hail and new-build defects are the pattern. Justin inspects it with a structural engineer's eye and a buyer's deadline in mind.
What the housing stock tells an inspector before he arrives.
The newest median in the south metro. New-build inspections and first-system failures dominate.
Castle Rock lots vary block to block: some on bedrock, some on highly reactive clay. Justin reads the soils design, the foundation type and what the house has done since, and tells you what is cosmetic and what is not.
Sources: Douglas County Assessor. Housing figures from assessor records on file.
