GET STARTEDLimited spots each week.
Every report is reviewed by a QA professional before delivery — not just generated and sent. That human review step means we can only take a limited number of jobs per week. Submissions are reviewed in the order they're received, and we'll let you know upfront if your report will take longer than 24 hours.
Before you ask.
What does the Lakewood Inspection Readiness Report include?
We review structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and envelope items against Lakewood adopted codes. We pay special attention to expansive soil foundation details and foothills wildfire interface provisions.
Does Lakewood have expansive soil requirements?
Many Lakewood sites have expansive clay soils requiring engineered foundations, pier systems, and moisture management. Our report checks that visible foundation details match the geotechnical recommendations for your site.
How much does the report cost and how fast is it?
The Lakewood Inspection Readiness Report costs $250, one time. We deliver written findings within 24 hours of receiving your photos and tracking list, depending on availability.
Do you review properties near the Lakewood foothills for wildfire risk?
Yes. Properties in western Lakewood near the foothills may fall within wildland-urban interface zones. We check exterior material fire ratings, vent screening, and defensible space where applicable.
Can I use this for a basement finish in Lakewood?
Yes. Basement finishes in Lakewood require egress windows, moisture barriers, radon mitigation, and proper framing. Our report reviews your photos for compliance with these common basement conversion requirements.
