Q: What is your cancellation policy? A: If you need to cancel your inspection, we would appreciate knowing as soon as you are aware of the need to cancel.  This allows us the ability to schedule the inspector with another job and not have lost earnings.  We do not charge for cancellations at all.  The only exception is if you have approved us to perform certain services in advance of the actual inspection date, for example setting a radon test device or performing ancillary services, then we expect to be paid for the services we have already performed.  Otherwise, we just need to be informed as soon as you are aware, that you need to cancel.  If you have paid online for your inspection we will process a refund, minus any fees for approved services already performed.  We hope to be able to work with you on any future inspection needs!

Do you perform asbestos testing?
No, we do not.  Our inspectors during a standard home inspection will note the presences of any typically asbestos-containing material, and we will then recommend further evaluate and testing.  However there can be asbestos in materials that are not readily identifiable.  If you have concerns about asbestos it is best to hire a state-certified asbestos inspector.  We do have a comprehensive guide to asbestos material types on our site for information.

How do I submit fixes made on a rental license inspection to have my report updated?
If the rental inspection was done for Denver or Boulder, we can revise the report based off pictures or receipts showing that improvements were made.  You can email these to info@teamscott.com.  We will then review and get back to you.  There is one exception, which is in City of Boulder, if the rental inspection failed due to missing smoke detector or CO detector, then the City requires us to physically re-inspect these items for safety reasons.  There is a small reinspection fee for us to return to inspection smoke, CO detectors for City of Boulder.  All other improvements made for either Denver or Boulder can be submitted via email and we can revise the report.

Are Home Inspectors Licensed in Colorado? Currently there is no licensing requirement in Colorado for home inspectors.  In 2019 an attempt to initiate licensing at DORA failed to proceed.  You can read details of this decision and alternative items that home inspectors do to validate their credentials and experience in this post: DORA Recommended Do Not License Home Inspectors.

While there is no licensing for home inspectors in Colorado, there are many things you can look for with a home inspection company to feel good about their qualifications.  Licensing is only one method to ensure minimum levels of trust are established.  We recommend that you verify the home inspector you choose has the following items:

  • Certification as an ASHI or Internachi Home Inspector:  each of these programs require that inspectors have minimum levels of training and knowledge before certifications are issued.  Both InterNachi and the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) have several levels of certification, but all levels require a minimum amount of training.  If an inspector holds one of these certifications you can be sure they are trained properly to perform home inspections.
  • Continuing Education Credits: each of the above programs require annual CE credits to learn about new techniques and new information to stay abreast of the latest in home inspecting.
  • Liability Insurance: all credible home inspectors will carry liability insurance in the event something is damaged or an injury occurs during a home inspection.
  • Voluntary Background Checks: ask to know if your home inspector has passed a background check to verify their personal credibility and integrity.

These are minimum requirements that home inspectors or home inspection companies should maintain to validate their credentials and expertise.  Even though licensing failed to pass in Colorado in 2019 for home inspectors, the requirements were planned to be similar to what is shown above.  By asking if your chosen inspector meets these minimum levels of credibility you can feel confident he or she would have met any licensing requirements.

At Scott Home Services we far exceed these minimum items and provide further value to our customers.  Learn more about our home inspection services and let us know if we can answer any further questions.
