Learn About Who We Are:

I recently hired Scott Home Inspection to inspect a house I was considering purchasing. The process was seamless; from scheduling to delivery of the inspection report. Their scheduling team was friendly and helpful; and Dave S. (the inspector) was enthusiastic, informative and focused. He answered all my questions and providing me with the details I needed to ensure I was making an informed decision to purchase.

We had Dave do our home inspection as part of buying a new home in Denver. The report we got back was super thorough and clearly documented, helping us understand all the details of the home we were buying. Could not be more pleased with the ease in setting up the appointment, the fast turn around time, and the insane attention to detail!

My husband and I contracted Scott Home Inspection 2 1/2 years ago and Dave showed up and did such a great job inspection our condo. Buying a home is very overwhelming and working with people like Dave makes the process a lot better. I was delighted when the opportunity arose to call them again and request Dave! Just finished another home inspection with him today and I have to say what an awesome job he does. Dave loves his job and takes the job very seriously- I feel like I received a great education on all the important things to consider in buying and maintaining a home. He’s happy to answer questions, makes great recommendations. I am so so grateful for his service and for the company- it shows that everyone who works there is happy to be there. Katie at the front desk and Brittany who also came to the inspection today are all wonderful! Thank your Scott Homes for providing such great services and having such lovely people to work with :)

Very detailed work. I trust this team to inspect a home top to bottom inside and out. This level of detail is needed (and valued) especially when buying a 100 year old home!

Scott Home Inspections always arrives early and does a thorough job for my clients. They also do their own sewer scopes and radon testing vs. contracting it out to a 3rd party! I would recommend Scott Home Inspections.
Excellent Company!! Extremely thorough inspection. You want these guys to inspect the house you are planning on purchasing. You will know exactly all the issues with the potential property. Great work Scott Home Inspection!

I am a Realtor. The professionals I refer my clients to speaks volumes about the quality of my own work. During a contract the inspection is among the most critical pieces to get right. Scott Home inspection has made that piece easy. They are on time, professional and insightful. Their reports read the best of any major inspector and online scheduling takes 5 minutes. Their inspectors do an exceptional job of processing information into simple terms that anyone can understand. They frame the issues they find in a way that does not leave homebuyers feeling hopeless and freaked out. Highly recommend. Have personally worked with Luke, Dave and Jeff. All great at their jobs and friendly.

I used Scott Home Inspection and was very pleased at the overall experience. The report was well done, detailed and well organized. I have used several other Home Inspections before and in my opinion Scott compares favorably. I especially like their post inspection services such as recommendations of contractors for different repairs and maintenance. I will definitely consider Scott if I need inspection services again.

Scott Home Inspection is a great company to work with. From the moment we called their scheduling department to the final report, everything was top quality. Their scheduler was extremely polite and competent. She was able to schedule us the very next day. Adam, our inspector, showed up on time, and was very knowledgeable and thorough with his inspection. He, too, was very polite and very respectful of the property. I would not hesitate to recommend Scott Home Inspection should you need a home inspector.

Their website is fantastic. Being able to book online, select services, choose your inspector and have a quote instantly is great. They reached out shortly after by phone to go over everything and explain some stuff. Then they will handle everything from there. Dave was thorough and helped explain some things to us being first time homebuyers. He didn't mind talking at all and made everything very easy

My first inspection was very detailed, I was able to make a good decision based on the report. I decided not to buy the home due to some of the issues that arises. I am so glad I went with this company, because today I completed a second home inspection for a different property, and I was so amazed by the difference in the homes quality/condition. I made sure I went with Adam Jones, although I’m very sure everyone else on the team does an excellent job. Adam represents the company very well. He is a super friendly person, and I sometimes sink into conversation so much at times, I forget that we are getting an inspection done. He adores pets which is a plus! You can ask him any questions in regard to the property, and you will be amazed by all the information he can give you.

We used Scott Home Inspection for the inspection prior to purchasing our home. It was a new build and Jason, our inspector, did a great job of identifying a number of items which we were able to show the home builder and have addressed. We requested Jason to come back out for our 1 year warranty inspection. He found an issue with one of the appliances in the home, within the 1 year warranty period, which we were not aware of. No doubt this covered much of the cost of inspection itself. He also identified some other items which we will be able to have addressed by the home builder. I highly recommend Scott Home Inspection.

The service I received from Scott Home Inspection was fantastic. Every associate I spoke with was courteous, knowledgeable and proactive.

George gave me a call on a Sunday, the same day that I reached out to ask about a concern my wife and I had with a house we were in the process of buying. We had not previously met, and George was not our inspector on the house, yet he took the time out of his day to call me back and to answer my questions. I can only assume that a person that is willing to do that would also show the same integrity and care to his paying customers - I would recommend George to anyone who is looking to work with someone they can trust.

I have gotten to know Joe, Dave and Todd quite well over the last few years and I feel like they go above and beyond to make sure my clients thoroughly understand the report. I never feel like they are trying to get out the door for their next inspection. Ann, George and the team in the office always respond quickly to a request. All around a top notch company!

Our home inspector, Jason, was courteous, professional, efficient, prompt, and easily informative in his way he shared the details of the inspection. For instance, he would explain not only the technical aspects of a certain issue that arose, but he would use language that all of us could easily understand and interpret the problem. Not only was he extremely thorough with his inspection, but he had several recommendations as to what could be done to remedy each issue. He showed all of us the issues around the home that he found when we had further questions, and was patient and thorough in his explanations of his feedback. And, he was happy to answer questions for me about equipment in the basement that I had. Oh, and he had his own heavy duty booties he wore so he didn't track any dirt in the house. Great company and great work by Jason! Five stars and highly recommended!

He was courteous, thorough with his review, and thoughtful about sharing his experience as knowledge with us as first time home buyers. He taught us a things along the way and we felt confident knowing that we had a full picture of our home purchase decision. We were especially impressed with the user-friendly inspection report process that was both technical and digestable. Dave even followed up to ensure we understood the report. We confidently recommend Scott Home Inspection.

I give Scott Home Inspection my highest recommendation! I'd give them more stars if I could. Everyone I came in contact with went above and beyond to help us meet deadlines and complete the inspection. The team was friendly and accommodating to our needs (thank you Chelsea, Ann and George!). The inspectors took their time to explain everything they saw, but even to point out minor items or explain how to maintain the home. They were unbiased and did not try to influence our decision, but just informed us on the condition of the home (thank you Dave and Woodrow!). They even took the time to go out to the house multiple times to ensure a thorough inspection was completed at no extra cost to us. We will definitely be calling them for our next inspection! Thank you Scott Home Inspection!

So appreciated Scott Home Inspection! Luke was very patient and thorough in explaining not only the items he was flagging for review, but also general helpful things to know about appliances and future repair suggestions. Getting to watch the infrared results helped set my mind at ease about hidden leaks. And it might sound a little silly, but Katie in Customer Service for scheduling and billing also made me feel like a really valued customer and made the whole experience very 5-star. Highly recommend and thanks!

Denver Neighborhood Breakdown

Downtown – Lodo – City Park

Downtown Denver hosts the tallest buildings in Denver. Residentally, downtown consists of mostly condos, apartments, and older lofts. LoDo, Union Station and Ballpark have recently been transformed with hundreds of high end, multi-unit apartment highrises. The good news is that we offer a discount for smaller condos. Find your inspection pricing here.

East of downtown is RiNo and City Park. These areas are currently redeveloping with a mix of 1920-1950s single family homes, and modern row home duplexes. This is a very popular area currently, with an abundance of new restaurants, bars and housing. As inspectors, this area has many older homes with a broad mix of fix and flips and original homes. Many of the houses in this area are 1950s ranch style homes with crawlspaces. Older homes in these neighborhoods with older plumbing and multiple units are good candidates for our mold air sample testing.

Denver Home Inspection Downtown Lodo Union Station Park Hill Rino

Baker – Capitol Hill

In the very center of the Denver Metro is Capitol Hill. Named for hosting the Capitol building, this is one of Denver’s most iconic neighborhoods. Housing wise, this area is full of 1900-1960s, 3-5 story apartment buildings. Most of these units are rentals. However, many of them have been converted to single owner units. These buildings have shared entrances, and most of them do not have exterior balconies. Make sure you find one with a parking lot as parking is in high demand. There is also a mix of newer apartments and older highrises as well.

South of the main downtown area is Baker. Baker is Denver’s oldest neighborhood for single family homes. This whole area is populated with turn-of-the- century houses. 1890s-1920s. If you love old Tudors or Victorian styles, this is where you will find them – but you will have to pay quite the premium. As inspectors, these buildings usually have very old foundations (sometimes stacked stones) which we try to carefully evaluate. Also, the height and pitch of the roofs in these areas make them very hard to walk and inspect. Older neighborhoods typically have some older plumbing present. We recommend a water quality test in this area because of the possibility of lead supply piping.

Cherry Creek – Hill Top – Virginia Village

Cherry Creek is southeast of downtown. It is well know as the most expensive area of Denver. The area is full of custom built homes on larger than average lots. North of the Cherry Creek shopping district, you will find some of the larger and nicer houses in the city. The average list price on homes in this area is just shy of $1 million. Also, the famous Belcaro neighborhood is in this area as well which is adjacent to the Denver Country Club. Many homes in this neighborhood have basements, which can have higher radon levels. Make sure you order a radon test with your inspection.

Hill Top and Virginia Village are southeast of Cherry Creek. This neighborhood has many 1950s houses and many pocket neighborhoods of “mid-century modern” homes. These homes have flat roofs and classic architecture. When inspecting these homes, we pay particular attention to the roofs, as flat roofs tend to be more prone to leaks.

LoHi – Highlands – Edgewater

If you have lived in Denver for the last 10 years, the neighborhood that has changed the most is the Highlands. Named for being adjacent to downtown, but with higher elevation, this area has been completely redeveloped with high end condos, apartment buildings and modern row homes. Slot homes, or row homes in this area were so popular that Denver’s City Council put a moratorium on further construction of this style. However, they are still very prevalent. These units typically have an HOA, so it is important to understand what they cover, and how much that costs. But many of them have rooftop balconies which give you a great view of Denver (and a great view of the roof coverings during your inspection)!

Edgewater is located around the west and north sides of Sloan’s Lake. These homes are typically 1940s-1950s. This area is also filled with the classic brick duplex from this time period. When buying a duplex in this area, it is important to ensure that your side has access to the crawlspace if there is one. It is typically home to the furnace and will give you a good view of the foundation.

Denver Home Inspectors in Edgewater highlands and lohi

Federal – Athmar Park – Barnum

Across I25 from Baker are the many neighboorhoods along Federal Blvd. This area is also in a redevelopment phase but has many more affordable homes. As a rule of thumb, the closer you get to Colfax, the older the homes will be. Generally, the homes range from 1920s to 1960s. Many of the homes in this neighborhood are smaller, but have decent sized lots. If you want a big backyard but you want to be close to the city, this is a great spot.

Most of these homes will be on crawlspaces, but some will have basements. Almost all will be ranch style with no 2nd floor. This is an important area to get a sewer scope inspection as many of the houses will have the original sewer lines, and mature trees are everywhere. Also, you do see a fair amount of original plumbing and wiring throughout this area. Your inspector will be on the lookout for problems with these older materials.

Denver University – South Broadway

Broadway south of I25 is a very popular area. There are many new breweries and restaurants to choose from. This area has a broad mix of homes. The closer you are to Broadway, the older the houses are, but typically were built between 1940-1960. This neighborhood mixes in with the University neighborhood around DU which has a great night life and a small university center.

Around DU there are many duplexes and fourplexes mixed in with the single-family homes, but like most of Denver, many of the older houses are being demolished. The row home duplex is a pretty popular build in this neighborhood, especially around Pearl Street. However, one of the best features of this area is that you are very close to Washington Park, yet you are still outside of the city and its very high prices.

This area in particular has a high concentration of asbestos-based building materials. Siding, popcorn ceilings, asbestos duct wrap and more were used liberally when building homes in this area. It is important for your inspector to call these items out. Also, if you are planning a remodel, we recommend that you test these products for asbestos.

Park Hill – Stapleton

East of Denver is Park Hill and Stapleton. If you are not familiar with the story, Stapleton was Denver’s airport before DIA opened in 1995. This area was earmarked as one of the biggest redevelopment projects in the country. In the last few decades, there has been major development of this area. The closer you are to the older airport site, the newer the homes are. These are typically modern town homes and paired homes on smaller lots. However, they are very nice and generally the builders produce great quality houses. Stapleton has grown in popularity and because of the development of the east side, the traffic has increased on I70. Because of this, the city is doing major reconstruction work to the highway to expand it.

There are pockets of older homes around this area as well. 1950s ranch style houses are more typically in Park Hill. Park Hill is a classic American neighborhood with brick homes and allies in between homes. This is a very popular fix and flip neighborhood with many freshly remodeled homes. Fix and flip homes are great, and ensuring that the contractor’s work is high quality is one of our priorities as an inspector. Also, older homes bring the risk of extra pests. Our pest inspection can help ensure there are no wood destroying organisms in the home.
