Home Inspector in Parker, CO
Parker is one of the newest cities in the metro, with most homes built after 1995 and large swaths after 2010. New does not mean problem-free: expansive soil, builder shortcuts and first-cycle roofs 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.
Many Parker homes are hitting the age where first furnaces, water heaters and roofs reach the end of service at once.
Parker and the Pinery sit on claystone that swells aggressively. Many homes have structural floors and deep piers for a reason. Justin confirms the foundation design matches the soil and reads what the house has done since.

Parker inspection questions
How soon can you inspect a home in Parker?
Usually within 2 to 3 days, including weekends.
The house is only 15 years old. Do I need a full inspection?
Yes. Expansive soil and builder shortcuts do not care about age. Fifteen years is also when first systems start failing.
Why are Parker foundations so complicated?
The claystone under Parker swells more than almost anywhere in the metro. Many homes have structural floors and piers. Justin confirms they are performing.
Does Parker need a sewer scope?
Douglas County averages well above the EPA action level. Yes.
Do you inspect new construction in Parker?
Yes, pre-drywall and final. See the New Construction service page.
