Home Inspector in Northglenn, CO

Northglenn was built almost entirely between 1960 and 1975 as one of the metro's first master-planned suburbs. That makes it the most uniform defect list in the north metro: original sewer laterals, aluminum wiring, galvanized plumbing and aging roofs. Justin inspects it with a structural engineer's eye and a buyer's deadline in mind.
