Joe is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, thorough, and honest. He not only knows the current status of a system, but has a deep understanding of energy efficiency, can prioritize the impacts of different systems, and is all around very helpful. Thanks for not only inspecting my house, but also teaching me the whole picture of how a house works!

Preventative maintenance was our goal of a limited inspection. Good news is that we found lots of "opportunities" to make repairs and lots of reassurance about other areas. I have used Scott for a pre-purchase of a condo and will definitely use them again.

Todd took the time to go through everything with me and made sure I knew what needed attention and what could wait. His report was extremely thorough and had lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend..

Extremely knowledgeable in all areas of the inspection. Communicated details clearly in simple layman's terms. Todd provided excellent pictures with write-up that same day. Highly recommend Scott Home Inspection.

Scott Home Inspection is simply the best. As a Realtor, I refer all of my clients to all of these wonderful and qualified people! I've used them for my own property inspections as well. They're thorough, honest and are great communicators. Highly recommend.

We are first time home buyers and had an amazing experience with Scott Home Inspection. Dave was great to work with! He took the time to show us what he was finding, explain everything in detail and answer all of our questions. We were impressed with the thoroughness of the inspection and the report. Would highly recommend!

We had contacted Scott's Home Inspection to complete a blower door test for our final CO on our home construction project - they were not the only ones we contacted, but they were pretty much the only ones that contacted us back. It is difficult to find people to come up to our neck of the woods, but they did not have any issue with it. There online system was easy to figure out, it did not however provide an accurate quote BUT they called within 30 minutes of submission on their website to discuss the change and to verify our details and confirm we would accept the changes. Zach (our technician) was on time, professional and friendly, as well as efficient in his work. He had no problem explaining the process to us so we would understand what he was doing and fortunately we passed on the first go around. I do know (because he told us) if we had not he would have given us suggestions on how to proceed successfully. Overall, very impressed with their communication and their staff and will recommend them in the future.

The gentleman I worked with was thorough and informative throughout the entire inspection. He took the time to answer all of my questions and made sure that our report was done in a timely manner. Very personable as well. I would highly recommend their services.

Recently used SHI, twice. Jason was the man! Super friendly knowledgable and knew his stuff. Jason had the patience to explain everything he was examining and was thoughtful and courteous. Both times, the inspection was worth every dime. We chose to include the radon test and thank goodness we did. One of the homes that was inspected reported Radon 6x the EPA limit...no deal. We use the post inspection report often to keep an eye on all the projects that need fixing. Their report is clear accurate and well documented. We were also thoroughly impressed with Jason's ability to examine the crawlspace area. This is not something most home owners would like to do, but Jason was able to do it like a champ! His reporting was very critical as we are in the process to address the crawl space issues.Definitely, would recommend Jason and Scott Home Inspection to friends and family, hands down!Thank you!

Prompt, professional, and thorough. Exactly what I needed to have confidence in my home purchase. A+ service and a well put together report. All digital with pics!

We hired Scott Home Inspectors to inspect our first home purchase. Jason was the inspector, and he was excellent. As first time home owners, we did not know much about homes before the inspection. Jason kindly let us tag along with him and explained everything to us in detail as we went through the home. He was very detail oriented, and took pictures of both items needing repair and important items as he went. He then gave us a nice verbal summary at the end of the inspection, and sent us a very detailed report at the end of that day. In summary, the whole process was smooth and comprehensive, and Jason was personable and extremely knowledgable and competent.

Jay Watson

20:43 10 May 18

The whole process was incredibly smooth. The fact that you can schedule online is great, the woman who followed up was very nice. We were able to get somebody in within a week of going under contract. Jason was super friendly and explained everything thoroughly. He was straightforward and answered all of our questions. We really feel that we have a great picture of the home we're purchasing and the price was reasonable for the services offered. We paid 595 for general inspection with radon and sewer.

Joe was the home inspector. He was super detailed and took the time to sit down and go over the inspection results with me. The report was also well designed and had a very useful summary section of the recommendations and maintenance items he had given throughout the report. Joe was very knowledgeable and a dedicated professional. Would definitely recommend these guys.

Would use again! Accommodating, thorough, excellent at translating findings into understandable terms and prioritizing recommendations. Even got the report back to me the same day so I could move forward with my home closing a bit faster.

5 starts because we were highly satisfied with the customer service of the company as a whole, from making the appointment to the inspection We had the house, sewer and radon inspection conducted and the technician was punctual, professional, and very detailed providing use with confidence of knowing the condition of the house. He gave us personal stories to help explain terms we were unsure of, provided pictures and also followed up with an email of the pictures and explanations. I would recommend Scott Home Inspection!

Seth Baker

We are extremely impressed with the consistently excellent customer service we've received from Scott Home Inspection. Todd and his associate were absolutely fantastic. They were thorough, friendly, and obviously experts in their field. As first time home buyers, we must have asked Todd a million and a half questions, which he always answered in easily understandable detail. It's nice to work with a real estate/construction professional who can explain important details in a way that someone with no construction experience can understand. We're very happy we chose to work with your company!

Absolutely EXCELLENT! I can't tell you how many inspectors I called before deciding on Scott Home. Some of the other places that I called couldn't even tell me how long they were in business for, or what all they did in an inspection (clearly, bad staff). Some, I did speak to the owner of the business and some just seemed shady, like, asking for the complete address before disclosing a price.Scott Home Inspection answered ALL my questions, including giving me a base price and then offering add-ons, like, Radon Testing, Infrared Testing for water leaks, etc.They were thorough and honest, punctual and confident! I will always use them for any properties we buy!

Brett Jones came out to our house to do an inspection for us just before we undertook some major home improvement projects. It was extremely helpful to understand some issues that we need to have our contractors address, as well as others that we were not aware of. He did an extremely thorough inspection with immediate written report. I would highly recommend this company for home inspection, and feel much more confident that our improvement projects will go well.

Cate Lawrence

We have some experience with inspectors as both buyer and seller and these guys are the best. Luke was very thorough, spending hours with the house and was equally attentive to us and our questions. Even tried to help after hours. A++

Nicole Heckmann

My inspector, Joe, was very professional and courteous. His inspection was thorough, and found several items, that needed attention. I received many maintenance tips to avoid future problems. I would absolutely use this company in the future.

Thomas Zapf

17:48 01 Feb 18

We had a great experience with Joe during our inspection. He was friendly, honest, and equally met our enthusiasm. We added on a sewer scope three days after the initial inspection, and the inspector who performed that was able to follow up with us on the implications of the scope, which helped inform our next steps in the home-buying process. I'm glad we went with Scott Home Inspection!

Juliana M Sartor

Oh wow- go nowhere else for your home inspection! The Scott team applied unasked for discounts where they could, had a real pro come and stay long past his expected time (for the same price), answered emails past business hours, and provided an extremely thorough report than any layman would understand. Super impressed!

Barby-o Moreno

Very thorough, very helpful report, and very quick turnaround from start to finish. They really seem to know what they're doing and they run a smooth business. Very happy with their energy audit service and we will use them again to follow up and see how our efficiency improves after we implement their advice.

David Kolowski D.C.

Great company to work with. Lots of follow thru and Joe our inspector was right on time and very knowledgeable. The fact that they will also help you diagnose a problem should there be one is a great plus that not all companies will offer. Highly recommend this company.

I had to call an reschedule my appointment to accommodate the seller and they were extremely flexible with cancelling and changing the time. The inspector was on time, thorough, and walked me through the entire process. He also went through his assessment prior to publishing the report as well. Good experience all around.

Jason Gallaher

Brett Jones was a very thorough and knowledgeable inspector. I think he did a great job. The report was sent to us very promptly and was very informative. No complaints about this company whatsoever.

We were impressed how thorough Dave was with the inspection, and he provided us with a wonderfully detailed report at the end, letting us know where to find important items in our new house, and some tips for maintenance. We have a new build, and he found a few things that had been missed in the build process. Great investment!

Carina Wolf

I recently sold my home in the Centennial, CO area. The buyer of my home hired Scott Home Inspection to conduct a review, with Dave Spielman serving as the inspector. I thought they did a thorough job -- so much so that when I went under contract to buy another home a few months later, I hired Scott Home Inspection and specifically requested Dave Spielman to serve as the inspector. The company is exceedingly professional and reliable. And in particular, Dave again did an outstanding job and helped explain a number of items in the home I was seeking to purchase. He remained longer than the allotted time and went out of his way to highlight potential issues and to provide an explanation and a recommendation. I appreciated the thoroughness of the 65-page report to follow -- but I also appreciated Dave's rapport and on-site conversational review of the overall inspection. It is the type of intangible that gives the consumer confidence and ensures long-term business success. Highest recommendation.

I was pleased in every interaction I had with Scott Home Inspection. Ann called me ahead of time to discuss the inspection and talk over any areas to pay particular attention to. Luke was on-time, professional, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. He patiently answered all my questions. I liked that all services and fees were posted right on the website. My report was electronically accessible and near-immediately available after the inspection. Would definitely use this company again.

Cove Sturtevant

20:51 26 Sep 17

Jason was very knowledgeable about the inspection and went over it with me in detail afterwards. Woody was very thorough with the sewer scope and offered great input. Would definitely recommend!

Gabrielle Gibson

Everyone I interacted with at Scott Home Inspection was terrific. From scheduling to inspection and even through follow-up questions, I was always treated with kindness and professionalism. Dave did our inspection, and he was fabulous. Very thorough in explaining his findings and personable at the same time. I really learned a lot about the house (and lot of other little nuggets in general). The written report is very detailed and easy to follow. We opted for the Gold Package and definitely got our money's worth. I highly recommend Scott to anyone in need of a home inspection!

Jason Montana

Scott Inspection is professional, responsive and provide very complete inspection services. I have used Scott for an energy efficiency audit, inspection prior to purchasing a new home and an inspection for a City of Boulder rental license. In each case, the service was top notch.

Michelle Krezek

I had a problematic insulation inspection situation. Scott Home Inspections quickly responded with accurate information which let me arrange an acceptable solution with Boulder County.On the day of the inspection, the inspector, Brian Otten, was friendly, thorough and efficient.I would recommend them without reservation. I would certainly use them again myself.

Great inspectors and great customer service! I will absolutely refer Scott Home Inspection to friends and family. There may be cheaper companies out there, but I think Scott Home Inspections provides the best overall value.

Chris was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. He took his time to be very through and answered my questions throughout the inspection. His overview was clean and comprehensive. He was also sensitive to my very short timeline. Great Job!

I have used Scott twice recently and I would recommend to my friends and family. Very professional, thorough and supremely helpful.

I've used Scott Home Inspection on 3 different homes in the last 2 years. Every time they are respectful, thorough and helpful with explaining details. Their prices are excellent, and the last time I used them, Dave helped identify an oversight in a new-build home that saved us more than double the cost of the inspection by having the builder correct it immediately!

Winston Hale

14:48 24 Apr 17

Incredibly thorough and excellent communication. The end report was detailed, clear and actionable. I would highly recommend Scott Home Inspection to any home buyer.

John Weiss

Our Inspector was Dave Spielman. He was very knowledgeable and easy to talk with and learn from. We were very pleased with his report and timely filing of the report. The report helped us gain consideration from the sellers on items Dave identified. The home he inspected was in Loveland, CO.The office staff at Scott Home Inspection was also very professional and on top of all the notifications which needed to be made. The inspection came off without a hitch. In Colorado it is not a requirement to be certified to be a Home Inspector but the Scott inspectors are certified with national certifications and it showed during the inspection and in the quality of the report.

Scott inspections was the first home inspector I've ever used that made me feel like I couldn't have done as good a job myself. Brett was very thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly. Excellent photographic documentation throughout (including infrared), and a summarized list of recommended items to address. In addition, the entire staff at Scott goes above and beyond. First of all, in this hot housing market, closing timelines are very tight, requiring inspection almost immediately after contract. Sellers simply won't accept a contract asking for a week or two until the objection deadline. Scott allowed me reserve a spot on their schedule more than once before my contract had been accepted (on multiple homes), and then they would follow up a day later to see if my contract had been accepted. On this final, successful contract, I called them on Monday (before contract acceptance), contract was accepted on Tuesday, they dropped off a radon detector on Wednesday, did inspection Thursday, and went back to retrieve the radon detector on Friday -- the inspection objection deadline! Super effort by their team!

Great company - used them for 3 home inspection in the past year (bought three properties in Boulder County). Friendly, responsive staff, knowledgeable inspector, good price, thorough and detailed report. They also were great about responding to my questions after the home inspection. Highly recommend.
