What Is a Home Inspection — And Why It Matters
A home inspection is a non-invasive, visual assessment of a property that identifies existing defects, highlights areas needing further evaluation, and helps uncover potential hidden issues. It ensures your home is built to standard and helps you avoid costly surprises down the road.
At Rocky Mountain Home Inspections, we know that a home inspector has two essential roles: to uncover issues—and to clearly communicate them to you and your real estate agent. That’s why we’re committed to delivering the most thorough, detailed, and easy-to-understand inspections in the industry.
The Home Inspection Process
Step One
We invite you to attend and participate with us while we conduct a thorough inspection of the property.
Step Two
Once we have compiled our notes, we will send you a detailed report annotating what we found.
Step Three
We provide follow-up support to ensure you are fully equipped for the next steps in your process.
Our Mission
Confidence When It Matters Most
At Rocky Mountain Home Inspections, we’re committed to ensuring you feel confident, informed, and empowered as you navigate one of the most important decisions of your life—buying a home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buying or selling a home can be a stressful experience, but we’re here to ensure you know what to expect during your home inspection.
A home inspection is a non-invasive visual examination of the foundation and basement, roof, attic, heating and water systems, electrical and plumbing systems, as well as the general condition of the structure itself. Depending on factors such as how big the property is, the age of property, and the number of defects found, a home inspection typically begins at 3-4 hours.
Ensure all inspection points are free from clutter, including any closets that might lead to a crawlspace or attic, and clearing some space around your home’s perimeter. It’s also important to check the functionality of all built-in appliances, electric, and gas. If you don’t plan to attend the inspection, make sure your inspector has access to the home, and all pets are properly contained or moved.
A home doesn’t pass or fail an inspection. Instead, a home inspection is a thorough audit of your home’s components. In most cases, there will be concerns marked on your home inspection report, but these are strictly informative.
While you can skip a home inspection in many cases, doing so could mean you may end up buying a home that has major issues that need to be fixed.
While a home inspector may recommend some minor repairs, they are not qualified to make major repairs. He or she can provide information about what needs to be repaired — and it might be helpful to know that information — but the decision to actually do the work lies solely with the homeowner. Not only does this provide you the freedom to choose your contractors, but it also helps prevent a conflict of interest.
