Our Process and what to expect

Upon meeting at the home at the scheduled time. We do brief introductions and explain a quick outline of our process. This process remains the same for every inspection big or small. We start on the exterior, both of us moving in opposite directions inspecting different components as we move along. Once we have completed the outside which includes walking the roof (unless it is tile or snow and ice covered), the garage and any Main Electrical distribution panels, soffits, fascia, cladding, decks, walkways and driveways, we move inside. We take overview pictures of the entire home, both exterior and interior before really getting into the nuts and bolts of the inspection. On the inside we check every window and door, receptacles (plugins) and switches, appliances, sinks, toilets, tubs, any miscellaneous electrical or plumbing fixtures, Attics, Crawlspaces, Water Heater, Furnace or Boiler. Upon completion of the 400+ point inspection of the home, we gather the customer and realtor together and verbally go over our findings. At this point we take as much time as necessary to answer any questions and discuss any of our findings that may need further explanation. We have found that sometimes it helps to be able to see the issue and ask questions at the time of the inspection to gain the necessary perspective needed to proceed with the transaction. At this point we collect payment and ensure we have signed agreements. We guarantee that the report will be delivered electronically before the end of the next business day and most of the time this occurs much sooner.

Best Places to Live in Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs was named the third best city to live in for people in the U.S. in 2019.

With so many people moving to Colorado, we made a list of the best neighborhoods in Colorado Springs, so people new and old can make the best choice when deciding which home to move to.

Briargate:
Located in the northeast corner of the springs, Briargate sits on a slight hilltop and has stunning mountain views from the windows of homes.

The Briargate community is a development that has been established for a while. Although when it was first built it looked like a cookie-cutter neighborhood, it has matured over the years and has gained many unique homes.

The neighborhood is attractive for families because it is affordable, plus it is a part of the Air Academy school district.

Rockrimmon:
Rockrimmon is an older neighborhood that was developed in the 1970’s, so it has the quirky charm that 70’s architecture brought, with curvy streets and Brady Bunch style homes.

Many high-ranking military officers, teachers, & business owners live in Rockrimmon because it is close to the Air Force Academy & is within the Air Academy school district.

Peregrine:
Peregrine is a similar neighborhood to Rockrimmon and is close by.

Houses are more expensive and newer in Peregrine, and they have bigger backyards so this is a good neighborhood for those who want more privacy.
