Trusted Home Inspections in Monument, Colorado
We’ve inspected hundreds of homes throughout Monument and the Front Range, from newer construction in Promontory to older properties near the historic downtown area. Our InterNACHI-certified inspectors document findings with clarity and remain available to answer your questions throughout the process—we typically respond to client calls and texts within an hour.
Why Choose a Veteran-Owned InterNACHI Inspector
Our lead inspector is a United States Marine Corps veteran with over a decade of construction experience before entering the inspection field. This background means we recognize structural issues and workmanship problems that others might miss. Our InterNACHI certification requires ongoing continuing education, and we complete advanced training annually in areas like moisture intrusion, electrical systems, and roofing.
Same-Day Reports With Photos and Video
You receive your inspection report the same day we complete your inspection—typically within 4-6 hours. Our reports average 40-60 pages, with 100+ photos and embedded video clips that show exactly what we observed in crawl spaces, attics, and on roofs. We use HomeGauge reporting software, which lets you access your report from any device and includes a Create Request List feature for communicating repair needs.
What Our Monument Home Inspection Covers
We spend 2.5 to 4 hours on-site examining all major systems and structural components, including the foundation, roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, attic, and exterior. Our inspections address the specific conditions that affect homes at Monument’s 6,900-foot elevation.
Exterior & Roof (Hail, High-Wind Focus)
We’ve inspected roofs after every major hail event in Monument over the past five years. We look for bruising on shingles, damaged flashing around chimneys and vents, and wind-blown debris in valleys. We also check gutters and downspouts for proper drainage away from the foundation—a common issue in Monument’s clay soils.
Interior Systems & Safety Items
Inside, we test every HVAC zone, run every plumbing fixture, and open electrical panels to check for double-tapped breakers, aluminum wiring, and other safety concerns. We’ve found that homes built in Monument between 1980-2000 often have undersized air conditioning units for our high-altitude climate.
Colorado-Specific Environmental Risks
We evaluate foundation drainage patterns and grading around the property. Monument’s bentonite clay soils expand when wet and contract when dry, creating foundation movement that we document through crack patterns and door/window operation. We also discuss radon prevalence—Monument sits in EPA Zone 1, where indoor radon levels frequently exceed 4.0 pCi/L.
Advanced Add-Ons and Tech-Driven Insights
Optional services provide deeper insight into potential concerns that a standard inspection may miss.
Radon Testing for Front Range Homes
We use continuous radon monitors that provide hour-by-hour readings over 48 hours, showing how radon levels fluctuate. This gives you more reliable data than passive tests. In Monument, approximately 60% of homes we test show elevated radon levels.
Sewer Scope for Pre-1990 Drain Lines
We’ve scoped sewer lines and found root intrusion, collapsed sections, and deterioration of Orangeburg pipe in older Monument neighborhoods. Our camera inspections extend from the house to the property line or cleanout, and we provide video footage you can share with plumbers for accurate repair estimates.
Infrared & Drone Imaging Advantages
Thermal imaging has helped us identify active roof leaks, missing insulation, and plumbing leaks behind walls. We use drones on steep or multi-story roofs, particularly on homes with complex rooflines common in Monument’s custom builds.
Transparent Pricing & Fast Scheduling
We publish our pricing online with no hidden fees. Inspections start at $375 for homes under 2,000 square feet.
Standard, Essentials, and Premium Packages
Our packages range from basic inspections to comprehensive bundles that include radon testing, sewer scopes, and thermal imaging. We’ll recommend the package that makes the most sense based on your home’s age, size, and condition.
