Home Inspector in Denver, CO
Denver proper is a century of housing: Victorian and bungalow neighborhoods, post-war ranches, 1970s–80s suburbs at the edges, and new infill everywhere. Sewer laterals, old electrical and the quality of a hundred years of remodels 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.
Half of Denver's homes predate 1960. Sewer, electrical and foundation history all go on the list.
Denver foundations range from 1890s stone and brick to new-build piers. Justin reads mortar, bowing, prior repairs and moisture on the old ones and heave and drainage on the new ones.
Sources: Denver County Assessor. Housing figures from assessor records on file.
Homes built between 1890 and today have a known list. Justin works through all of it.
