Owning a home comes with its fair share of surprises. Some surprises are great, like finding the perfect reading nook, and some are not-so-great, like realizing your bathroom fan vents straight into the attic. That's where our skilled Denver technicians step in.
Our team at Colorado Home Services is ready to tackle the unexpected and make your home the best it can be. That’s why we’re proud to offer our courtesy home scan to make sure your home is safe, secure, and up-to-date. In as little as 15 minutes, this checklist identifies small issues before they become costly problems for your Front Range home.Â
This courtesy home scan is free of charge with any of our normally scheduled appointments. Just ask your technician to perform a walkthrough!
Why Might I Need a Home Walkthrough?
A home walkthrough is like a wellness check for your house. Just like you’d visit the doctor for a checkup, your home needs one, too. Our courtesy walkthrough is designed to pinpoint potential trouble spots, offer practical fixes, and make your home more comfortable, safe, and energy-efficient. And don’t worry—there’s no pressure or sales pitch involved.Â
Our goal is to help you understand your home’s needs and provide honest, helpful insights. Whether it’s identifying small fixes or offering professional guidance, our experienced and licensed technicians in Denver are here to support you—not to push products or services you don’t need. Above all, we want you to feel confident knowing your home is in its best shape.
What’s on the Walkthrough List?
During our walkthrough, we’ll cover key areas of your home where problems tend to hide. Here’s what our courtesy home walkthrough will check:
Electrical Upgrades: A Bright Idea
Is your home ready for the future, or is it still stuck in the past? From whole-home surge protectors to EV charger installations, we’ll assess your electrical system and recommend improvements for safety and efficiency.
Example Problem: An outdated service panel may not handle modern appliances, leading to tripping breakers. We’ll evaluate your panel to see if an upgrade is needed.
We’ll also check:
Smoke alarm installations
New circuit setups
Spa wiring
Improved garage power options
Fans & Ventilation: The Unsung Heroes
From ceiling fans to range hoods, proper ventilation keeps your home comfy and your air clean. We’ll identify issues like improperly ducted bathroom fans or ductless range hoods that could send moist or greasy air where it doesn’t belong.
Example Problem: A bathroom fan venting into your attic can lead to mold—a problem you definitely don’t want.
We’ll check for:
Attic and gable fans
Roof and soffit vents
Dryer ducting and range hood ventilation
Lighting & Security: Bright and Safe
Lighting sets the tone for your entire home and can create a space that feels secure, stylish, and welcoming. Many residents of Denver and the surrounding areas opt for enhancing their home with common lighting installations, exterior floodlights, or smart camera systems. Ultimately, proper lighting improves safety and adds charm to your space.
Example Problem: A poorly lit backyard could invite unwanted visitors, whether it’s curious critters or porch pirates. We’ll help identify where better lighting can make a difference.
Energy Efficiency: Savings That Add Up
Insulation and air sealing can make a huge difference in comfort and utility bills. During the walkthrough, we’ll recommend ways to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Example Problem: If your attic isn’t insulated properly, you could be losing significant energy. We’ll provide tips to seal those leaks and save money.
Electrical Repairs: Fix What’s Faulty
Have you been noticing flickering lights or tripping breakers? Our techs will check for faulty switches, panel issues, and more during the walkthrough to prevent further damage.
Example Problem: A sparking outlet isn’t just a nuisance to be ignored; it’s dangerous. Our Denver techs can inspect outlets, find defective ones, and resolve the problem in no time.Â
What is NOT Included in Our Courtesy Home Scan?
We focus on what we know and are certified for. All of the above are examples of what is included where we focus on electrical issues, non-furnace and AC ventilation (whole house fans, attic fans, bathroom fans, etc), and skylights. We can happily recommend other providers if you are looking for additional inspections.
Prevent Surprises, Protect Your Home
It’s easy to ignore little annoyances in your home, but they can add up to bigger, more expensive problems down the road. Our home walkthrough is your chance to get ahead of those issues before they turn into a surprise you weren’t ready for.
