FAQS

Most inspections take around 30 minutes.
When will I receive my report?
In most cases, a signed checklist PDF will be emailed the same day as the inspection.
What if the location fails inspection?
Your inspector will go over the non-compliant issues with you and recommend corrections.
What about lead paint?
Lead paint can be an issue in older dwellings (pre 1979). Denver requires testing for areas with paint deterioration.
