Home Inspector in Commerce City, CO
Commerce City is two cities: 1950s–60s homes in the historic core near the refineries, and 2000s–present master-planned Reunion and Buffalo Run north of 96th. Old sewer and electrical in the south, expansive soil and builder shortcuts in the north. Justin inspects both with a structural engineer's eye and a buyer's deadline in mind.
What the housing stock tells an inspector before he arrives.
The northern build-out skews the median young, but the historic core is 60+ years old.
Reunion and Buffalo Run sit on clay that heaves slabs and flatwork. The historic core has 70 years of settlement and old fill. Justin reads which story your foundation is telling.
Sources: Adams County Assessor. Housing figures from assessor records on file.
Homes built between 1950 and today 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 the historic core to Reunion.
