Be prepared for a shocking fact. Take a seat if you have to. Ok, here it goes.

The state of Colorado does not require home inspectors to have a state license. That means anyone can pitch a home inspection sign and wander through your home without actually knowing how to properly check for faults. This is worrisome because there are no regulations requiring inspectors to check certain areas or follow certain restrictions.

A successful home inspector in Colorado has the following characteristics:

• An inspection firm that has been around for some time shows credibility and dedication to the industry.
• An inspector that has excellent hands-on knowledge and book knowledge
• Nationally licensed ensures regulations for services since the state does not require it.
• Licensed contractor gives a building edge for more tactical, hands-on knowledge
• Efficient method of sharing findings and strategies for overcoming problems
• A firm who is passionate about a safe home for you and your family
