Why Boulder Residents Search for 'Property Condition Assessments'
If you’re investing in commercial property in Boulder—whether it’s a retail space on Pearl Street, a mixed-use spot along 28th Street, or a light industrial building in Gunbarrel—you need more than a simple inspection. Property Condition Assessments (PCAs) give you the full picture: what’s solid now, what’s wearing down, and what’s going to cost you in the years ahead.
That’s why lenders, buyers, and asset managers in Boulder lean on us. From first-time investors in Table Mesa to developers eyeing North Boulder warehouse conversions, we help you avoid ugly surprises and build smart capital plans.

How Much Does It Cost?
Pricing depends on size, age, and complexity. A small retail property on The Hill is not the same as a sprawling warehouse off Arapahoe. Here’s a ballpark breakdown:
| Property Type | Example | Estimated Range |
|---|---|---|
| Small Retail / Office | 2,000–5,000 sq ft shop or suite | $2,500–$3,500 |
| Mid-Sized Commercial | 10,000–20,000 sq ft mixed-use or warehouse | $4,500–$6,500 |
| Large / Complex Facility | Multi-tenant, special-use, or older buildings | Custom Quote |
Every PCA includes a detailed digital report with photos, cost tables, and recommendations. Need add-ons like ADA or energy assessments? We can bundle those in. Learn more about our full commercial services here.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a PCA different from a regular commercial inspection?
A PCA is more standardized and detailed, especially in the way it forecasts repairs and costs over a multi-year horizon. It’s often required by lenders for due diligence.
Can I use the PCA to negotiate price?
Absolutely. Many clients use our report to request repairs, credits, or seller-funded upgrades. It’s a powerful leverage tool during acquisition.
What’s one thing often missed without a PCA?
Roof system age and future replacement cost. Especially in Boulder, where snow load and wind exposure vary, roof timelines are critical for budgeting.
Do you provide accessibility assessments?
Yes—we can include ADA evaluations to determine if entrances, bathrooms, and signage comply with current codes.
