Buyer Home Inspection in the Denver Metro
A full roof-to-foundation inspection with thermal imaging available, a walkthrough of every finding on site, and a report within 48 hours. Performed by a former structural engineer.
Electrical panel · every breaker and conductor checked
What it is, and why it matters here
Everything you cannot see on a showing, checked by someone who used to design buildings.
The inspection covers structure, roof, exterior, grading and drainage, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, insulation and ventilation, interiors, and the attached garage. Each system is operated, not just looked at. Thermal imaging is available as an add-on, covering every wall, ceiling and panel.
Colorado adds its own list: expansive clay under the foundation, hail on the roof, moisture behind finished basement walls and clay sewer laterals under older streets. Justin's engineering background is what makes the foundation and drainage portion of this inspection different from a checklist.
Time on site
1.5–2hours
Depending on size and age. You are welcome for the whole thing.
Report
Within 48 hours
Web and PDF with photos and a repair request list.
Thermal imaging
Available
Moisture, missing insulation and overheating electrical the eye cannot see. Ask about adding it to your inspection.
Buy-Back Guarantee
If Justin misses something covered by the InterNACHI Standards of Practice, InterNACHI buys the home back for the price you paid. Valid 90 days after closing, included at no charge.
How the inspection works
Roof to foundation, then a walkthrough you can follow.
Plan for the last 45 minutes on site. That is when Justin walks the house with you and talks through each finding and what a repair typically costs.

After the inspection
The report is built for the objection deadline.
Colorado contracts give you a short window to object or walk. The report is organized so you and your agent can act inside it: significant items first, maintenance second, and a repair request list you build with a click.

Repair estimates talked through
On site and by phone afterward. Justin does not do repairs, so the numbers are not a sales pitch.

Read the report, then call. He will go through it with you and your agent.
Home inspection questions
How soon can you get me scheduled?
Usually within 2 to 3 days, including weekends.
Should I attend?
Yes, at least for the last 45 minutes. The walkthrough is where you learn the house.
What is not included?
Anything hidden behind finished walls, inside sealed systems or under snow. Specialty tests like sewer scope and mold are add-ons so you only pay for what the house needs.
Do you inspect townhomes and condos?
Yes. HOA-maintained components are noted so you know what is yours.
How is a former engineer different?
Most inspectors can tell you a wall is cracked. Justin can tell you why, whether it is still moving, and what the fix involves.
Is the Buy-Back Guarantee really free?
Yes. It is an InterNACHI member benefit included with every inspection.
