Mike was extremely thorough, pointing things out that I'm guessing the average inspector could miss. We spent 4 hours together inspecting this home purchase, including plenty of time inching around a tight, uncomfortable crawl space. And I'm so thankful we did: we'll be saving thousands on our initial offer. The final report was clear and detailed, and Mike himself was personable and a joy to work with. Thanks again Mike!

Thanks Leif for the great review. I hope you can get the needed new roof, aluminum wiring replaced and get an FHA approved foundation.

I worked with Mike. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He definitely has experience and knows what he’s doing if you want somebody that has great communication skills and won’t try to upsell your house. Will you about additional services? This is the way to go.

Mike is the man you want on your side! With his diverse background and proof that he's been through the nation's rigorous licensing programs, you are in great hands! Book him! He was VERY quick to inspect my new home, answered all of my questions and made the process so easy for me (first time home buyer) to understand. I will have peace of mind going into closing day because of his expertise and thorough report! I will be booking him for before my 1 year warranty is up. A+++!

I’m so happy that I had the inspection done. I was very surprised by the price and thorough job performed for me. Going forward with the purchase knowing full well everything that has to be done to make this place a home was explicitly written up and delivered to the buyers. Grateful to Mike for his service and his well done work.

Thank you [Member Name Removed] for the great review. Using my HVAC professional CO detector found the furnace heat exchanger cracked and CO leaking through your registers was a major safety concern. Glad your Realtor was able to negotiate a brand new furnace and update your AC split cooling system as well. Only Cottage 2 Castle does CO testing and missing this important finding would of been a very serious problem and costing you $10,000. Your home is now safe and I hope your home serves you well in Loveland CO.

Mike did an awesome job of inspecting a 30 year old home. He was very detailed and very thorough. He even went above and beyond what most inspectors would perform. Mike found some very subtle defects that I believe most inspectors might have missed. I feel very confident that with the repairs he recommended, we will have a home that we can enjoy for many years to come without fear of prior problems and issues arising. Thank you Mike!

Thank you Karen for your great review. I hope the owner replaces the defective furnace, caused by the cracked heat exchanger we found with my Bacharach Carbon Monoxide meter. Loveland CO is a great place to live.

Thank you [Member Name Removed]. It was great inspecting your new home in Castle Rock CO. I also appreciate you hiring me to do a pre-inspection on your home in Littleton CO. The new buyers selling agent contacted me and found my report so detailed, accurate and fact base on items needing repairs and explaining how to repair every item found (my reports save prospective buyers from having to call out any tradesman) that they were comfortable using my report and not hiring an inspection from another inspector.

I hired Michael to do a thorough inspection on my 1930's home. Michael found issues with old galvanized water lines, he found knob n tube wiring which needs updated for safety. He also found a major issue with our foundation in our tiny crawlspace. We now know how much money we will ask for to get this old house safe to live in. Michael works for the buyer and we are so grateful we hired him. Excellent Inspector and will definitely refer him to anyone needing a home inspection.

Michael was an awesome inspector, I picked him because he is Nationally Licensed. He found a lot of major problems, which were: My main electrical panel needed updated due to safety issues with Federal Pacific panels. Michael also found a major problem with my main sewer line using his sewer scope. Michael saved me thousands in concessions. Best inspector I've ever hired in Colorado. Michael knows everything about a home. Highly Recommend!

Mike at Cottage2Castle did a sewer scope, Radon test, non-invasive mold test and is the best inspector and provided me the most detailed report. Cottage 2 Castle explains how to repair every item found in a home. Tradesman in plumbing, electrical, HVAC, worked with Structural Engineers, built 10 homes Nationally Licensed, not a non-licensed certified hack. Also Mike is a Licensed Thermographer with FLIR, the best thermal imaging cameras produced. Mike also used a CO detector and found high levels of CO from your 1960's furnace. This information really helped me to negotiate for some seller rebates so I was able to replace the old and tired furnace.
