Buyer’s Home Inspection in Colorado

Clear, practical home inspections for informed buyers and smooth transactions

A buyer’s home inspection is a detailed, visual evaluation of a home’s major systems and components at the time of inspection. The goal isn’t to overwhelm you or derail a deal—it’s to identify material concerns, explain their significance, and help you clearly understand the home you’re purchasing so you can move forward with confidence.

This home inspection for buyers is ideal for first-time buyers, repeat buyers, vacation or second homes, and anyone relocating to Colorado who wants a realistic picture of a property’s condition, including items that may warrant attention now or planning for down the road.

A buyer-focused home inspection that prioritizes understanding

I take a calm, methodical approach to buyer’s home inspections—explaining what matters, what’s typical for a home’s age and location, and which items may simply be part of ownership versus those worth closer attention.

Most homes, especially in Colorado, will have some issues. The purpose of the inspection is clarity, not alarm. The goal is to help buyers, sellers, and real estate agents understand the home so informed decisions can be made without unnecessary friction.

This balanced approach supports strong communication and smoother transactions while still delivering an honest, thorough inspection.

What’s included in a buyer’s home inspection

Your buyer’s inspection covers the major, accessible components of the home, including:

  • Roof coverings and visible roof components

  • Exterior walls, siding, grading, drainage, decks, balconies, and patios

  • Foundation, structure, and visible framing

  • Electrical systems

  • Plumbing systems

  • Heating and cooling systems

  • Attic, insulation, and ventilation (where accessible)

  • Interior walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors

  • Built-in appliances

All findings are documented in a clear, photo-rich Spectora inspection report that’s easy to review, share, and reference during the buying process.

Optional add-on inspection services

Radon Testing
Radon testing is strongly recommended for most Colorado homes. Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless gas that can only be identified through proper testing equipment.

Sewer Scope Inspection (Public Sewer Only)
For homes connected to a public sewer system, a sewer scope inspection evaluates the condition of the underground sewer line from the house to the main connection—something not visible during a standard home inspection.

Sewer scopes are performed by experienced sewer professionals who specialize exclusively in this work, providing focused expertise and reliable results.
