Fantastic experience using Seven Stars Home Advisors for my home inspection! Chad was prompt, very thorough, extremely knowledgeable, and a valuable asset during my recent home search. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He made sure to talk me through the high points of his findings, and his report was outstanding.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He provided two reports -- a very thorough, detailed one and a just-the-highlights one that was easily digestible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For me it was perfect to talk to him on the phone, then read the highlights, then read the full report once I had time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chad was eager and willing to answer questions, even days or weeks after the report, which was very helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Chad gets my highest recommendation for fast, effective work and for being so reachable and helpful! read more

We have used Seven Stars (Chad) for three properties and they do an excellent job. They are incredibly thorough and the reports they provide have everything laid out clearly and professionally. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also appreciate that Chad sits down with us after the inspection to ensure that we are clear on the details and can ask questions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

For your own protection, do not use Chad Chadwick at Seven Stars. His neglect cost us over $25,000. First, he neglected to see obvious water and paint damage on the wall 10 inches from a sump pump - where there had been a sump pump leak. He took 3 photos of this exact sump pump, but missed the water damage on the wall where he took the photos. This flood caused mold spreading 200 ft. Second, he missed visible mold larger than a golf ball growing behind the stairs. Third, he missed two gaping holes around 2 different external pipes on the exterior sidewall- one pipe he literally took a photo of but didnt notice that all the grouting was gone. This cost us $800 in damage because we had to flood the area to see if this was the source of mold (but the source was in fact the sump pump, with water damage on the wall, that he didnt notice.). The second gaping hole on the exterior pipe allowed a mice infestation - again, grout deterioration and a hole around a pipe that he missed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Last, he has taken zero accountability for any of this neglect, positioning it as "I'm sorry you were dissatisfied with our services."[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didnt ask for the $25,000 - I asked only for a service refund and the $800 for the gaping hole. I felt it was a reasonable request and he offered only a refund and to sign a form that I wouldn't sue - because he clearly knew I had a case to sue him. I dont want to sue him, but I do want to protect you from going through the 3 months of agony (thinking we had a fundamental foundation problem) that I went through. For your own peace of mind, please choose someone else! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Chad was able to schedule the inspection quickly, even though he had a busy week.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We met at the townhouse, he told me what he was going to inspect and he made sure to show me the things I needed to see. I had an inspection deadline the next day, and Chad was able to deliver his report just a few hours after the inspection. Inspection report was impressively delivered via HTML with pdf download as well. During the inspection Chad was focused on doing the job right but was also happy to answer all the questions I had. Would recommend him for your inspection and would be happy to hire him again. read more

Used Seven Stars (Chad) for my most recent pre home inspection. He is very thorough and personable and very professional. He took personal time to go over the inspection and answered. all my concerns. Just a great overall experience, would definitely use him aagain. read more

Very thorough inspection and pointed out a lot of things I hadn't noticed. Would use them again.

Chad and team completed a thorough inspection of our new house. We were pleased to go line by line about detailed findings. I appreciated Chad's input and recommendations of what he would do if it was his house and how to prioritize. read more

They provided an extremely detailed inspection of the residence I purchased. The report comes color coded by safety issues, further evaluation and repair, and maintenance items. Each item is numbered and clicking on it takes you to the specific section. Very detailed with pictures of every finding. Extremely user friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They are very knowledgeable and readily available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highest recommend from me! read more

I dos a lot of research on inspectors and really wanted someone with a deep experience in construction as well as properly certified. The type of report was also important as well as someone who didn't mind if I tagged along or looked over his shoulder. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chad fit this description and also happened to have a great personality and professionalism that came across the phone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was confirmed in person as Chad went about his business. He was efficient, patiently answering my questions and leaving nothing unexplained nor unexplored. My report was explanatory and visual and a good tool to use for renegotiating a few items with the seller. I couldn't have been more pleased and will have Chad at the top of my short list for inspections going forward! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Chad and Doug were wonderful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They are thorough, communicative, prompt, respectful, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend! read more

Updated as of 12/27 Used Doug and Chad to inspect another home I intend to purchase. First off, Doug has been super helpful and communicate in regards to scheduling the assessments. Doug has been kind enough to answer all of my questions over text, as well. Since Chad used to be in the custom home building industry, I spent some time during this inspection to ask for his advice - should I renovate basement, can I install a bathroom in the basement, where would be the best place to put the bathroom, how would you renovate this fireplace, etc. Again, cannot recommend these guys more! Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for. I know exactly what I am stepping into when I buy a house and have proper expectations of future expenses. Thanks again and truly appreciate you all! - it also didn't save my first review. Would like to add that I was hesitant to choose them at first since they were more expensive. I was looking at a house that was bought less than a year ago and there was a 5 page inspection completed. The inspector stated there was mold but everything else was fine. When Chad came, he noticed a water pressure issue, structural potential issue, hail damage to roof, high levels of radon and the list continues. The sellers agent attempted to tell me that the water pressure was "fine." Even though we had pictures documentation regarding the high water pressure, they stated their inspector from a year ago did not document this. THIS IS WHY WE DONT GO WITH CHEAP. This is a potential $300k worth of damage item as an FYI to anyone who is reading this. The prior inspector states the roof was too high and that was HOA's problem. Chad documented hail damage and the HOA was not willing to cover - complete nightmare. Long story short, I feel bad for the people who do not spend the money on a proper home inspection. It could have cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars. Appreciate you all! Their inspectors report was 5 pages - mine was 90. read more

If there's 10 stars I would give them 10. Seven Stars( Doug and Chad) is the best. From the moment we scheduled the inspection, their communication was clear and timely. During the inspection, their expertise was evident as they meticulously examined every aspect of the property. I as a client fully understood the condition of the property. Their comprehensive report was not only detailed but also included valuable insights that will guide my decision making process. I will gladly recommend Seven Stars to all my friends and family in need of a reliable and skilled home inspector. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY (they cost me $17,500)! Seven Stars Home Advisors conducted a home inspection for my house before I purchased it in 2017. After moving in, I contacted Chad Chadwick with two concerns: 1) there was an active mouse infestation (as evidenced by visible traps in the pantry, garage, and basement, and mouse feces on the windowsills), and 2) several electrical outlets did not work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chad responded that the mouse infestation was not part of the inspection and that there were no visible traps in the home at the time of the inspection (untrue), and his response to the electrical issues was "in most cases, the fact that there are switch and receptacle issues, indicates these may be intrinsically linked. These may be switched receptacles, meaning the switch controls the receptacle (by turning power on and off to the receptacle)." (untrue - the repairs required an electrician).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]In both instances, Chad refused to do anything to correct the situation, and I was required to pay out of pocket for contractors to come in and fix the issues, rather than being able to address the issue with the home sellers before purchase.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] THEN, and even more egregious, I recently tried to sell my house. You can imagine my surprise when the house was found to have polybutylene pipes throughout, a product that was part of a class action lawsuit around 2012 for being prone to leaks. I found out that insurance companies often will not insure homes with these pipes. The polybutylene pipes are clearly visible in the home's mechanical room, which was inspected. My inspection report stated that I had copper plumbing throughout the home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I contacted Chad again to see how we might address this gross negligence. Chad again refused to do anything to help rectify the situation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The plumbing replacement and drywall repairs totaled $17,000. Inspection 101 would tell you that polybutylene pipes are something that you look for. Seven Star's inspection agreement holds them harmless in every possible scenario. Chad didn't even volunteer to reimburse the cost of the inspection, which is outlined in the inspection agreement. I trusted this company to inspect my home and alert me of issues needing to be addressed with the prior homeowners. I would never have bought the home without settling the plumbing pipes issue. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chad will likely respond to this review to try to refute all of the reasons the company isn't responsible for the plumbing negligence, just like he did to me in an email last week (October 2025), but sometimes, I'm sorry, you need to do the right thing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] DO NOT TRUST YOUR HOME INSPECTION TO SEVEN STARS HOME ADVISORS! read more

My wife and I have bought and sold over 20 homes. We know what to expect from inspectors, lenders, appraisers, etc. Chad and his team at Seven Stars exceeded our expectations! They were thorough, professional and prompt. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Answered all the questions we had plus gave professional insight to the home we are purchasing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Don't need to compare their team to other inspectors. Truly, the best we have experienced! read more

Chad did the inspection on the home we're hoping to buy. He was very thorough, professional, and friendly.

Generally very happy with their services, knowledgeable, thorough and well reported.

Just moved here to Castle Rock, CO and had Chad perform a full house inspection. He was super helpful, respectful, and kind in his work! He explained to me things that need fixing, what their purposes are, and some things to look out for down the line. I am super satisfied with his work and think everyone should get an inspection done by him! Thanks so much! read more

Seven Stars Home Advisors did a FANTASTIC job. We're in the process of purchasing our first home, and Doug and Chad were thorough and comprehensive in their inspection. The report Chad issued was incredibly detailed, written an easy-to-understand way, and did well to assuage our concerns. Both were available to not only answer our questions but to take the time to educate us about the features of our home, how they work, and how to take care of them. We highly recommend Seven Stars! Thanks again, Chad and Doug. read more

Purchasing a house is a big decision, and Seven Stars Home Advisors gave us the information we needed to move forward with the decision. Working with Chad and Doug to schedule our home inspection was easy. They are both very knowledgeable regarding building codes, household appliances, and HVAC systems. They work quickly, but thoroughly to document each line item with a picture. Results are communicated both verbally with a Q&A session and in the report with pictures. We highly recommend their services and will use them again. read more

One of the best experiences I've had with a home inspection. Chad was very thorough and detail-oriented. He explained every aspect of the inspection to me prior to leaving the property.

Chad did a great job on the inspection of my new home. He was thorough and went thru every detail personally at the end of the inspection. He was thorough but not overwhelming. read more

Seven Stars was an outstanding inspection company that we used for the purchase of our newest home. While I hope to not have to move again for a long time, I would use them again without hesitation. Their report was so thorough that I felt extremely confident proceeding with the sale. While their pricing is competitive, the value you get fully justifies the cost. A home inspection is never something you want to be cheap with as it can really cost you down the road. Thank you Seven Stars! read more

Seven Stars Home Advisors did another inspection for buyers of mine. They are thorough and explains the important items to the Buyers. They additionally have information that some inspectors dont know yet or have not seen in new builds. I would never hesitate in referring Chad or Doug to any of my clients for Home Inspections on existing homes or NEW BUILDS. read more

Seven Stars Home Advisors is a top notch home inspection company. Chad does a very thorough inspection. Doug and Chad as a team provide a very thorough right up with photos for ease of understanding. They both provide excellent follow-on support answering questions related to their right up. Both have extensive experience in home construction and building materials. Our first experience with Seven Stars was with the sale of our home in Larkspur. Out of the 4 potential buyers and associated inspection companies, Seven Stars was easily Best in Class. We were under contract on a home in Castle Rock and hired Seven Stars for the inspection. Chad identified; undisclosed issues with EFIS stucco, lack of flashing on decking and windows, leaks, pavement heaving, etc. Both Doug and Chad provided an excellent education on these issues. We backed out of the sale. The home ultimately sold at 25% below list to an investor. Great Job!!! read more

I have bought and/or sold 13 homes in 4 states over the years and have used or received reports from home inspectors each time. Most recently I hired Seven Stars Home Advisors on the recommendation of my agent to inspect a home that I contracted to buy in the Denver area. I received their report a week ago and it was, without a doubt, the clearest, easy to understand and most thorough report I have ever seen. Doug and Chad spent a considerably long time during the inspection, checking every corner, inside and out. They outlined their processes and goals and produced a well organized, easy to understand, most useful report. When I sent them a question regarding an electrical item that was disputed by the sellers Doug responded to me immediately and demonstrated the most professional expertise that quickly diffused any argument. Their report has been my blueprint for negotiating my position fairly, unemotionally and objectively with the sellers. Their professional and technical expertise, reporting capabilities and customer responsiveness can only be rated as Best In Class and I would highly recommend them to any Denver area buyers looking for a home inspection ally and peace of mind. read more

Seven Stars did both the pre drywall inspection and the final inspection on our new home. I reached out to a few inspectors (and some larger companies) but Chad and Doug were the most organized and personable. Very clear report, giving weight to potential issues for further review with the builder. I would highly recommend the team and will use them in the future! read more

We used Seven Stars, not just once but twice in our home search, if that doesn't tell you just how much we enjoyed working with them the first time. Chad was extremely thorough in answering our questions for both homes that he inspected for us, and we would be happy to work with him again! The inspection report was very high quality, thorough, and helpful, and we got it back the day after inspection. Highly highly recommend getting your home inspection through Seven Stars! read more

Chad and Doug were amazing from first email to payment. They were extremely professional and walked me through everything of concern while they were performing the inspection. They used all kinds of high tech gadgets and took so many pictures/videos. The final inspection is so comprehensive it took me 30 minutes to go through it all. Really can't say enough good things about them. Hire them. Now. You will not be disappointed! read more

Our home inspection went seamlessly with Seven Stars. Very thorough and professional. Would highly recommend them!!!

Doug and Chad are excellent! Very knowledgeable, professional and outstanding to work with! We appreciated their Home Inspection Report for our new home before closing! Thank you! read more

Chad performed an inspection that was very thorough on the building we were buying. He was efficient, helpful, and knowledgeable.

First of all, we called quite a few different businesses to get quotes and Chad and Doug answered on the first call and were able to help us right away. We were on a bit of a time crunch to get the house inspected and we were able to get an inspection within a few days of our call. Communication from the start was perfect. When we met them at the house they were already there and ready to start. They both are very easy to talk to and made us feel comfortable to ask as many questions as we could think of. How great is it to get two inspectors at once. One took the outside while the other started inside. They know Colorado very well and were able to help us gather some smart questions to ask the seller. The house we were inspecting was on quite a bit of land with septic and well. We had a lot of question about both of those and they easily answered. They walked us around the house and made sure we understood everything that they were writing up and when we asked them how something worked, they were able to help. We all sat down at the end and went through their notes. They took the extra time to answer all questions and made us both feel very comfortable with what needed to be fixed right away and why. We received the report quickly and when reading through it was able to understand everything since they had already walked us through it. Overall, we were both dreading this a bit and left the inspection saying "that was not bad at all and those guys are really cool!" I am pretty sure everyone says the same thing. I highly recommend them! read more

See all

We used Seven Stars Home Advisors for our home inspection. Chad and Doug were absolutely fantastic - timely, professional, thorough, and willing to explain in detail the changes that they recommended. They also answered the (many) questions that I had about potential improvements or changes we wanted to make with the house. We also had our finished online report before an hour had gone by after they left the home! I'm used to waiting days for that. The PDF of the final report is beyond comprehensive as well, with pictures, explanations, and color-coded suggestions. I also found their prices to be reasonable for all that they did. read more

I didn't contract this service my buyer at the time did, but whomever came to my house for the inspection from this company left a mess, all of my floor mats were moved and they didn't bother to straighten them in the least after moving them, I understand they tested all the windows to make sure they locked but they left them all locked which I didn't have so no attempt at leaving the home as it was, lastly they were so hell bent on seeing the negative they stated a foggy bathroom window showing indication of water getting between the panes, if they would have bothered to look closer they would have seen the privacy film on the inside of the window which is what they were seeing as foggy from the outside. All of my blinds were left open, again no attempt at leaving property as they found it. And to top it all off they managed to disconnect my dryer vent hose which is a big deal for my 99lb self to have to try to move my mammoth appliances because the inspector didn't bother to be careful. read more
