Understand the home.
Keep the decision yours.
Buying in Boulder can mean comparing very different properties: historic houses, remodeled ranches, condos, newer construction, and mountain homes. We look at the visible, accessible systems, document concerns, and help you understand what deserves attention.
- Same-day digital home inspection reports with clear photos, videos, and color-coded findings.
- Thermal imaging helps investigate temperature patterns; moisture meters and other checks add context.
- Drone documentation helps review roofs when conditions and flight rules allow.
- Recall Check and available BuildFax property history add useful background.
The setting changes. The details matter.
The Flatirons are a beautiful backdrop. The home itself deserves a closer look—from the roof and furnace to the drainage around the foundation.
Older homes & remodels
In neighborhoods such as Mapleton Hill and the University Hill area, older construction and later upgrades make electrical panels, plumbing, attic access, and visible structural details important parts of the inspection.
Roofs, snow & hail
We review accessible roof coverings, flashing, gutters, and drainage. Snow cover, roof pitch, wind, or access can limit what is visible; we explain those limits and any recommended follow-up.
Heating & ventilation
Furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, and visible venting deserve attention before colder weather. We check accessible components and document concerns with operation, installation, or condition.
Crawlspaces & drainage
We look at accessible crawlspaces, basement moisture clues, grading, and downspout discharge. Foothill slopes and different foundation types make the way water moves around the home worth understanding.
Put radon on the inspection checklist. Boulder County encourages testing every home rather than relying on a neighbor’s result. A radon test is a separate service, with its own testing period and results. Explore Boulder radon testing → · Boulder County guidance ↗

Explore Boulder inspection resourcesEvidence you can see. A report you can use.
We document the condition of visible, accessible systems at the time of inspection. Clear photos and video help you understand the findings and discuss the next steps.
Inside & outside thermal imaging
Temperature patterns provide extra clues about the home. Infrared does not see through walls; flagged areas may need other checks or specialist evaluation.
Color-coded report + SNAPSHOT
Photos, embedded videos, and documented operation of major systems make the report easier to review. Findings are organized so important issues are easier to find.
Recall Check + property history
Appliance recall information and available BuildFax records provide background. Record availability varies and is not a complete guarantee of a property’s history.
Same-day home inspection report
Get the standard home inspection report the same day. Radon testing, lab sampling, and other specialized services may have different result timelines.

Answers before you book.
A few practical things to know before your inspection. Call us if your property raises a question that isn’t covered here.
How long does a Boulder home inspection take?
Most inspections take approximately 2–3.5 hours. Property size, condition, accessibility, and additional services can change the timing. We’ll help you plan when you schedule.
Can I attend the inspection?
Yes. We recommend a walkthrough and questions near the end. Confirm the arrival time with our team so you have a useful opportunity to discuss the findings.
Do you inspect condos, older homes, and mountain properties?
Yes. Our Colorado team inspects houses, condos, townhomes, and mountain properties. Share the address, property type, access details, and any additional structures when requesting your appointment.
Should I request radon testing in Boulder?
Boulder County encourages testing all homes, including newer homes, rather than judging by neighboring test results. Our Boulder radon testing service is separate from the visual home inspection; ask about test timing when you schedule.
Is a sewer scope included?
A sewer scope is an additional service. It provides a camera view of the accessible sewer line that a standard home inspection does not. Explore Boulder sewer scope inspections and ask about including one in your appointment.
When will I receive my report?
Your standard home inspection report is delivered the same day, with photos, videos, and color-coded findings. Radon tests and laboratory samples have their own completion timelines.
Are thermal imaging and drone documentation included?
Yes, thermal imaging and drone roof documentation are part of our home inspection offering. Use depends on access, weather, site conditions, and applicable flight restrictions. We document limitations and explain recommended follow-up.
How do I schedule or get an exact price?
Choose “Schedule my inspection” to open the Boulder scheduler, or call 720-845-JAVA (5282) . Share the property details and any additional services you need so the team can confirm the scope and price.
