Buying or selling a house is one of the biggest things your family will ever do. Before you sign, let someone walk the whole house — roof to foundation — and tell you plainly what they found. That is what Safe & Sound Home Inspections does for families in Centennial, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Greenwood Village, Englewood, Parker, Lone Tree, and Cherry Hills.
Call (720) 764-6365A home inspection is a careful, unhurried look at the house as it stands that day. Your inspector goes through the heat, the air conditioning, the plumbing, the electrical, the roof, the attic and insulation, the walls, ceilings, and floors, the windows and doors, the foundation, and the basement. Nothing gets skimmed because it is hard to reach or easy to assume.
When it is done, you get a written report in plain language. Not a pass or a fail — a clear picture of the house, so you can make your decision with your eyes open. That picture is worth more than almost anything else you will buy during this move, because it is the one thing that tells you what you are actually getting.
Safe & Sound Home Inspections is certified by InterNACHI, the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. InterNACHI is the largest professional association for home inspectors, and the Certified Professional Inspector (CPI) credential means your inspector has been trained to a published standard of practice, tested on it, and holds to a code of ethics — the inspector works for you, not for the sale. When you hand someone the keys to look at the biggest purchase of your life, that training and that standard are what you are paying for.
These are the houses we look at every week — the older ranches, the newer builds, the hail-tested roofs, the basements that Colorado radon loves to find. We can't wait to meet you, and we can't wait to help make sure you're buying the right home for your family.
If you are under contract, a buyer inspection shows you the house before you close — while you can still ask for repairs, adjust the price, or walk away. If you are selling, a pre-listing inspection gives you the same roof-to-foundation look before the house ever hits the market, so nothing in a buyer's report catches you by surprise. Radon testing and a sewer scope can be added to either visit — just say so when you book.
Three things come up again and again in South Denver houses. Hail works on roofs here year after year. Colorado soil puts radon into homes, and the only way to know about a particular house is to test that house. And in older neighborhoods, the sewer line between the house and the street can be decades-old clay pipe — a camera down that line costs a little now and can save you a great deal later. Ask about any of these when you call, and they can happen the same day as your inspection.
A home inspection is a trained inspector walking the whole house, roof to foundation, and documenting its condition that day. You get a written report in plain language, so you know what you are buying before you buy it.
The heat, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, roof, attic and insulation, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, foundation, and basement. Everything goes into a written report you can read and share.
No. An inspection is not an appraisal and not a city code inspection. The report tells you what shape the house is in. What to do about it — repairs, price, or walking away — stays your decision.
No, but we hope you will be. Walking the house with your inspector lets you see things with your own eyes and ask questions at the furnace instead of after you read the report. You will understand your house better for years because of that hour.
It depends on the size and age of the house. When Safe & Sound Home Inspections calls to set your time, you'll get a window that fits the actual house — not a one-size answer.
In Colorado, yes. Radon is common here, and the only way to know about your house is to test your house — a neighbor's result tells you nothing. The test is separate from the inspection, so ask for it when you book.
A camera run through the sewer line from the house to the street. That pipe is underground, so no regular inspection can see it. The camera finds roots, cracks, sags, and old clay pipe before they become a backup. Older homes are where it earns its keep.
