Denver Home Inspections
Residential Home Inspections for Denver Buyers, Sellers, Agents, and Homeowners
Buying, selling, or maintaining a home in Denver comes with a lot of moving parts. A home inspection gives you a clearer understanding of the property so you can make informed decisions before closing, before listing, or before planning repairs.
Two Moose Home Inspections provides residential home inspections in the Denver area, with Denver-area inspectors based out of Golden and Lakewood. Our inspections are designed to help home buyers, sellers, real estate agents, relocation buyers, first-time buyers, investors, and homeowners better understand the condition of the home.
Every residential home inspection includes thermal imaging and 360-degree photos. Add-on services such as radon testing, sewer scope inspections, water testing, well recovery testing, and roof-walking inspections may also be available when appropriate for the property.
Residential Home Inspections in Denver
A residential home inspection is a visual, non-invasive evaluation of the accessible systems and components of a home. The goal is to help you understand the condition of the property at the time of the inspection.
In Denver, that can be especially important because homes vary widely. Some buyers are looking at older homes that have been remodeled over time. Others are buying condos, townhomes, infill properties, or newer construction. Each type of property can come with different questions about structure, roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, heating and cooling, drainage, moisture, safety items, and maintenance needs.
A home inspection does not predict the future or uncover every hidden condition, but it gives you a clearer starting point before you make major decisions about a property.

Helping Buyers Make Informed Decisions
Most Denver buyers schedule a home inspection after going under contract and before the inspection objection deadline. The inspection gives you and your real estate agent information you can use to better understand the home, ask questions, plan future maintenance, or discuss next steps during the transaction.
During the inspection, we focus on accessible systems and components, document visible concerns, and explain our findings in a way that is useful for real people — not just contractors or inspectors.
A home inspection can help buyers better understand:
Safety concerns
Major deficiencies
Maintenance items
Systems that may need repair or further evaluation
Possible add-on services, such as radon testing or a sewer scope inspection
The overall condition of the home before closing
For relocation buyers or buyers with limited time at the property, 360-degree photos can also be helpful because they allow you to revisit rooms and exterior areas after the inspection. Two Moose includes 360-degree photos and thermal imaging with every home inspection.
Helping Sellers Prepare Before Listing
Two Moose Home Inspections also performs pre-listing inspections. A pre-listing inspection can help a seller understand the condition of the home before it goes on the market.
This can be useful if you want to address repairs in advance, prepare for buyer questions, or reduce surprises once the home is under contract. A pre-listing inspection is not required for every seller, and it is not the primary service most clients request, but it can be helpful for sellers who want more information before listing.
Supporting Real Estate Agents and Their Clients
A good inspection process should help the client and the real estate agent stay organized. Denver-area agents often need clear scheduling, practical communication, and a report that helps their client understand what was found.
Two Moose Home Inspections offers online scheduling so buyers, sellers, and agents can view availability and pricing before completing the scheduling process.
For Denver-area inspections or High Rockies inspections, customers will use the same online scheduler. We added information above our online scheduler that helps customers choose the right inspector for their location, such as mountain inspectors versus Denver-area inspectors.
What We Inspect
During a residential home inspection, we inspect visible and accessible systems and components of the home. Depending on the property, this may include:
Roof coverings and visible roof components
Exterior siding, trim, grading, drainage, decks, balconies, steps, and walkways
Garage areas
Attic spaces, insulation, and ventilation where accessible
Foundation and visible structure
Interior rooms, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors
Plumbing fixtures and visible plumbing components
Electrical panels, outlets, switches, and visible electrical components
Heating and cooling systems
Water heaters
Built-in appliances
Safety items such as smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, GFCI protection, and similar visible safety features
The inspection is visual and non-invasive. If we find an issue that should be evaluated further, we may recommend review by the appropriate qualified professional.
Optional Add-On Services for Denver-Area Homes
Two Moose offers several add-on services that can be scheduled with a Denver home inspection when they apply to the property.
Radon Testing
Radon testing is one of the most important add-on services for Colorado homes. Denver’s public-health department says Denver is in EPA Radon Zone 1 and notes that approximately 50% of Colorado homes have elevated radon levels.
Two Moose performs radon testing, and every employee is licensed by the State of Colorado to perform radon testing.
Radon testing is commonly scheduled by:
Home buyers during the inspection period
Sellers who want to understand the home before listing
Homeowners who have never tested the home
Owners of homes with basements, crawlspaces, or lower-level living areas
Sewer Scope Inspections
A sewer scope inspection uses a camera to look inside the sewer line between the home and the public sewer connection, when accessible. This can help identify concerns such as root intrusion, displacement, cracks, damage, bellies, clogs, or other visible sewer-line issues.
Two Moose offers sewer scope inspections, but does not offer septic inspections. If a home has a septic system, the septic system should be inspected by a qualified septic specialist.
A sewer scope may be especially useful for:
Older homes
Homes with mature trees
Buyers who want more information before closing
Sellers who want to reduce sewer-related surprises
Homes where the sewer line condition is unknown
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging is included with every Two Moose home inspection. A thermal camera can help identify temperature differences that may be related to moisture, heating issues, insulation concerns, air gaps, electrical concerns, or other conditions that may not be visible to the naked eye.
Thermal imaging does not guarantee that every hidden issue will be found, but it adds useful information to the visual inspection.
360-Degree Photos
Two Moose takes 360-degree images during every home inspection. These images can help buyers, sellers, agents, contractors, and relocation clients revisit the home after the inspection.
This can be especially helpful for Denver buyers who are relocating, buying on a tight timeline, or trying to remember the layout and condition of the property after a busy showing and inspection process.
Water Testing
Water testing is available when it applies to the property. This is most relevant for homes with private water systems or situations where a buyer or homeowner wants additional information about water quality.
In many parts of Denver, homes are connected to a municipal water system, so water testing may not be needed for every property. For homes with private water sources or special concerns, ask during scheduling whether water testing is appropriate.
Well Recovery Testing
Well recovery testing is available when a property has a private well. This is more likely to matter in foothill or outlying properties than in many central Denver homes.
If the home has a well, this test can help provide information about how the well and pump system perform during the testing period.
Walking on Roofs
Two Moose offers walking-on-roof inspections when requested and when conditions appear safe. Not every roof can be safely walked. Roof pitch, height, surface material, weather, snow, ice, moisture, and other conditions may affect whether walking the roof is appropriate.
What Makes Denver Homes Worth Inspecting Carefully
Denver has an active residential real estate market, and homes can move quickly. Redfin reported that Denver homes sold for a median price of $630,000 in March 2026, with 858 homes sold and a median of 19 days on market.
That kind of activity means buyers often need to make decisions on a deadline. A home inspection gives you a more organized way to understand the property before the inspection period ends.
Denver homes may include a mix of:
Older houses with updates completed over time
Remodeled homes where workmanship should be reviewed carefully
Condos and townhomes with shared systems or HOA considerations
Infill and newer construction
Homes with basements or crawlspaces
Properties where radon testing may be worth considering
Homes where a sewer scope may be valuable, especially when the sewer line condition is unknown
A Denver home inspection should be clear, practical, and useful. The goal is not to scare you away from a house. The goal is to help you understand what you are buying.

Why Choose Two Moose Home Inspections for Your Denver Home Inspection?
Thermal Imaging Included
Every Two Moose home inspection includes thermal imaging. This gives the inspector another tool to help evaluate conditions that may not be obvious during a visual-only inspection.

This gives the company a real operational connection to the west Denver metro area while still using the inspection process developed through years of inspecting Colorado homes in High Alpine environments.
Radon Testing by Colorado-Licensed Inspectors
Two Moose performs radon testing, and every employee is licensed by the State of Colorado to perform radon testing.
Sewer Scope Inspections Available

Online Scheduling
You can schedule online and view availability and pricing during the scheduling process.
Clear, Practical, Cloud Hosted Reports
Two Moose provides electronic inspection reports with photos and inspection findings. Reports are intended to help clients understand the home and make informed decisions.
Built in Colorado’s Mountain Communities
Two Moose began in Colorado’s mountain communities, where weather, roof conditions, drainage, moisture, thermal performance, and construction details matter. That inspection mindset now supports Denver-area buyers, sellers, agents, and homeowners.
A Clear Note About Mold and Septic Inspections
Two Moose Home Inspections does not perform mold inspections or mold testing. During a home inspection, inspectors look for moisture concerns using building-science knowledge, visual observations, infrared cameras, and moisture meters. If something that looks like mold is observed, it may be documented in the report, but mold identification and mold testing are outside the scope of service.
Two Moose also does not perform septic inspections. If a property has a septic system, the septic system should be inspected by a qualified septic specialist. Two Moose performs sewer scope inspections for homes connected to public sewer systems, when a cleanout is accessible.
Frequently Asked Questions About Denver Home Inspections
When should I schedule a Denver home inspection?
Most buyers schedule the inspection as soon as the property is under contract. Inspection deadlines can come quickly, so it is best to schedule early and coordinate with your real estate agent.
Do I need a home inspection on a newer Denver home?
Yes, a newer home can still benefit from an inspection. New construction and recently built homes can still have defects, incomplete work, installation issues, or maintenance concerns. A home inspection gives you more information before closing or before a builder warranty period ends.
Can sellers benefit from a pre-listing inspection?
Yes. A pre-listing inspection can help sellers understand the condition of the home before going on the market. This can be useful when deciding whether to repair items in advance or prepare for buyer questions during the transaction.
Should I add radon testing to my Denver home inspection?
Radon testing is worth considering for Denver-area homes. Denver is listed as EPA Radon Zone 1, and Denver’s public-health department states that approximately 50% of Colorado homes have elevated radon levels.
Should I schedule a sewer scope inspection?
A sewer scope may be worth considering if the home is connected to a public sewer system, especially if the property is older, has mature trees, or the sewer line condition is unknown. Two Moose offers sewer scope inspections, but does not perform septic inspections.
Do real estate agents attend the inspection?
Many real estate agents attend at least part of the inspection or review the report with their client afterward. Ask your agent what they recommend for your transaction.
How soon will I receive my report?
Two Moose delivers inspection reports electronically within 24 hours, but typically you will receive the report by the end of the day.
Can I attend the inspection?
Yes, buyers often attend at least part of the inspection. Ask your inspector and real estate agent what timing works best for your situation.

Yes. Radon testing is one of Two Moose Home Inspections’ major add-on services, and every employee is licensed by the State of Colorado to perform radon testing.

Why Denver Home Inspections Matter
Denver homes are not all the same. A home buyer may be looking at an older home with multiple renovations, a newer infill property, a condo, a townhome, or a single-family home with a basement or crawlspace. Each property type can raise different inspection questions.
Denver also has meaningful real estate activity. In March 2026, Redfin reported 858 Denver homes sold, a median sale price of $630,000, and a median of 19 days on market.
For buyers, that can mean making important decisions quickly. For sellers, it can mean preparing the home before listing or responding to buyer inspection requests. For agents, it means helping clients understand inspection findings in a clear, organized way.
A Denver home inspection helps turn a fast-moving transaction into a more informed decision.

Zach and Mike are the two members of the Denver Area Home Inspection Team. Based out of Golden and Lakewood, they help bring the Two Moose inspection process from Colorado’s mountain communities into the Denver metro area.
Two Moose was built in the High Rockies, where inspectors learn to pay close attention to weather, drainage, roofing, moisture, thermal performance, and construction details. Zach and Mike apply that same careful, detail-focused approach to Denver homes, whether they are inspecting an older property, a remodeled home, a condo, a townhome, or newer construction.
Shea and Kyle are the two members of the Summit County Home Inspection Team. Our team lives in Silverthorne Colorado and that gives them a unique perspective on the challenges facing the maintenance and construction of houses in a high alpine environment.
We have many unique challenges that houses in the High Rockies face. Our inspectors know how to identify issues that are specific to our area. Understanding thermal bridging, ice accumulation, and the stress and strain that snow loading can put on your house are the foundations of our expertise as home inspectors.
