My realtor recommended Colorado Inspect to perform the home inspection on the house I purchased. Unfortunately, the experience turned out to be extremely disappointing. After moving into the home, I began discovering multiple significant issues that were never mentioned in the inspection report. These were not minor concerns -- they were expensive repairs that I am now paying for out of pocket. The purpose of hiring a professional inspection company is to identify these types of problems before closing, and that did not happen. When I brought these issues forward, even my realtor was embarrassed by the level of service provided. In fact, she ended up paying for part of the mistake because of what was missed. That alone says a lot about how serious the situation was. I also requested a refund directly from Colorado Inspect and never received a response. The lack of communication and accountability has been extremely frustrating. Because of the incomplete inspection, I am now facing substantial repair costs that could have been negotiated or addressed prior to purchase. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Colorado Inspect. read more

This comes over a year later, after purchasing our first home, and our inspector was Jovan Amaya. For starters, he came late and kind of had a nonchalant attitude. He only spent "maybe" an hour and a half "inspecting." I knew nothing about real estate inspections at the time and I'm now in the real estate industry myself, and I can say from the other inspectors I have encountered Jovan was completely unprofessional, but not only that, he didn't find so many important things, and didn't even turn on the dishwasher or any of the appliances to actually test them, because when we moved in the first thing we did was use the dishwasher and it flooded all over the floor because there was a blockage. It ruined part of the wood floor. Also, he didn't even catch the fact that the kitchen countertops that the previous owner had DIY'd were not even attached to the wall like supposed to be. He didn't even think to ask about how and what condition our furnace and water heater were in and our EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD furnace went out this last winter 4 months after closing on the property! The gas fireplace didn't work and he never said anything about it. TERRIBLE UNCARING "inspector" that is clearly in it for the money and does not care about people whatsoever. We also paid him the largest amount to have the best inspection possible of $650 out of pocket. Very disappointing and disgusting to say the least. I hope no one else uses this awful company and I'm very disappointed with Pasiano Realty for recommending them! Just AWFUL! read more

Don't recommend. They add all kinds of things that shouldn't be on the report and don't even go with code. They report stains that aren't even stains just a vacuum spots. They recommend a contractor or licensed electrician for literally everything. In all they recommend over $50000 in fixes for things that are just over 4 years old read more

As the homeowner who suffered through a recent inspection by this company, I found the inspector, Rafael Martinez, thoroughly unprofessional. When I came home, The inspector left my back door ajar, and the outside security door unlocked. The inspector left my front door unlocked and the security door unlocked. He left the heat on at 80 degrees. My house was 80 degrees when I came home, in July on a 90 degree day. He left an empty Gatorade jar on my dining room table. He unplugged the power to my security system and left it unplugged for so long the battery backup died. Because he also left 4 the doors unlocked, my house was totally unprotected between the time he left and I got home. Fortunately, that time was not long. He left a dirty scouring pad in the middle of my kitchen floor. Perhaps it was inadvertently left in the garbage disposal when he went to inspect it, but don't take it out and throw it in the middle of my wood laminate floor. He flipped the GFI in the bathroom and left if off cutting power to the bedroom, until I figured out what the problem was. He stated there were water stains on the foundation walls interior due to water incursion from neutral or negative slope. The water stains were from a pipe to the outside hose faucet that burst inside the wall during the winter and ran for several days before I got home. They originate from a line joining the foundation and the house floor fully one foot above the soil level. The water would have had to have been one foot deep on my lawn for the water to come in from that line. He stated there were rat droppings in the utility space behind the water heater. Is he certified in biology? The droppings were from a cold winter over eleven years ago when field mice, not rats, came in. I put mouse traps down and mouse poison bait and had no further problems. I have 3 cats for goodness sakes. He stated there was heavy damage to the wood under the sink due to leaking from the sink. Wrong conclusion again. The garbage disposal started leaking when I was in the hospital for two weeks. My cleaning lady finally found it and I had a friend install a new garbage disposal. The sink does not leak. I can understand that we may have a difference of opinion over some of the things he "found". But there is NO excuse for the thoroughly unprofessional way he treated my property, and leaving it totally unlocked and unguarded. LEAVE IT LIKE YOU FOUND IT. read more

This review is coming 6 months late but if you are a buying a house please do not use this inspection company. My partner and I bought a new house back in May, the inspector that did the job missed critical problems in the home. Extensive water damage, mice infestation, non working heaters, illegal drain pipe installation. All of these things were missed. I called Jovan Amaya who is the master inspector of the company and he acknowledged that some important things were missed. He said that he would put in an insurance claim based on the company's policy. This was back in August and I have not heard anything else from him. Reached out to him multiple times. No responses. I'll own up and say I've chosen the wrong inspection company and now my family is dealing with a money pit. I just don't want anyone else to make the same mistake choosing this company. Please do your research and be careful. If I could give negative stars I would. Do not use this company. read more

Is the absolute worst inspection I've ever seen on a house. The inspector said the fireplace did not work but failed to actually turn the gas on to the fireplace. He also stated that the sewer was clogged at 80' it is only 37' from where they were running their inspection to the city super line. the inspector was very inexperienced and when I called with questions several times he never called back. do not use this company if you want a good inspection on a house. read more

The Inspector Luis is completely unprofessional. It was explained to him on the first visit that he needed to inspect the front of the home. Come inside do the home inspection then inspect the back yard because of the Dogs that I own. I would then let the dogs inside and he could inspect the back yard. Instead he inspected front. And then told me let dogs in so he could inspect the back. I told him inspect the inside and then the back. He made me bring dogs so he could do that. It was a inconvenience to do it in that measure. I explained that with him and chose to argue with me briefly over it. He left a radon box. Then on Monday was told he would be here between 9:30 and 10. It's almost 12:15 and he still isn't here. When I asked what was taking so long. Just got excuses. Unprofessional. I would not recommend this company for inspecting homes read more
