"Drew did an excellent job inspecting our new construction home in Heron Lakes. Found several issues with the HVAC installation that the builder's inspector missed. Very thorough and professional."

Berthoud has transformed from a quiet agricultural town into one of Northern Colorado's fastest-growing communities. This growth brings both exciting opportunities and unique inspection challenges that require local expertise.
Unlike some Northern Colorado communities dominated by a single era of construction, Berthoud offers remarkable variety. You'll find everything from 1900s farmhouses in the historic downtown to brand-new luxury homes at TPC Colorado. Each type requires different inspection focus:
Local Insight: Berthoud's soil conditions vary significantly from east to west. Properties closer to the foothills often have expansive clay soils that can cause foundation movement. We pay special attention to foundation and drainage during every Berthoud inspection.
Radon is a serious concern throughout Larimer County, and Berthoud is no exception. The town sits on geological formations that produce elevated radon levels. Our testing data shows approximately half of Berthoud homes exceed the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking, causing an estimated 21,000 deaths annually in the United States. The good news: radon mitigation systems are effective and typically cost $800-$1,500 to install. But you need to test first to know if you need one.
Berthoud's population has more than doubled since 2010, driving massive new home construction. Developments like Heron Lakes, TPC Colorado, and Waggener Farm have added thousands of homes. While new construction seems like it should be perfect, we consistently find issues:
City inspectors verify code compliance—they're not checking quality or looking out for your interests. An independent inspection is your protection against inheriting the builder's mistakes.

A typical home inspection in Berthoud takes 2-4 hours depending on the size and condition of the property. We encourage you to attend—it's your opportunity to learn about your new home and ask questions.
Before the Inspection: Schedule online or by phone. We'll confirm the appointment and send you a pre-inspection checklist. Make sure utilities are on and areas are accessible.
During the Inspection: We systematically evaluate every major system—roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, doors, insulation, and more. We use thermal imaging (included free) to detect hidden moisture and energy loss.
After the Inspection: You'll receive a detailed digital report the same day, complete with photos and descriptions of every finding. We categorize issues by severity: safety concerns, major repairs, and maintenance items.
Berthoud-Specific Focus: Given local conditions, we pay extra attention to foundation and grading, radon pathways, water heater and furnace condition (altitude affects equipment), and roof/exterior weathering from our intense sun and hail exposure.
Our pricing is straightforward and competitive with other Northern Colorado inspectors:
Most Berthoud buyers add radon testing at minimum. For homes over 20 years old or with mature trees, we strongly recommend the sewer scope.
