Castle Pines North will celebrate its
first full year as an independent city today. Castle Pines
North development was started 25 years ago, and Mayor Maureen Shul is
impressed with the formation, implementation, and achievement from the newly
formed city municipal government.
Castle Pines
North today has over 3,400 homes, 10,000 residents and commercial
development along Castle Pines Parkway. Located in Douglas County,
Castle Pines North recently secured the Lagae Ranch development
that calls for building 600-700 new homes. Additionally, a new church,
school and park are also under construction.
Also, as of today, the
private contractor C2HM Hill will take over public works services from Douglas
County which has handled those tasks in the past. However, South Metro
Fire Rescue and the Douglas County Sheriffs Office will still serve the new
city.

Knowing what some of the usual situations our consultants discover during an inspection allows you to be a well-informed buyer. Over the years, and borrowing on over a half million inspections, here’s what we’ve discovered as the top 10 defects in most homes. Repair and replacement costs for such items could cost you thousands of dollars!
* Roof leaks due to poor flashing and / or roof material failure due to poor installation
* Water penetration in the basement or crawlspace due to poor surface water control
* Electrical safety issues due to age of home or homeowner alterations
* Deterioration of the interior wall material behind shower and tub surround areas
* Safety concerns associated with improperly installed decks, stairs or railings
* Heating unit and distribution system problems due to age and workmanship or alterations

* General fire and safety issues with home ownership
U.S. Inspect strongly encourages home buyers to attend the inspection with our consultants. In our 2 to 3-hour walking consultation, you’ll learn all about your new home—first-hand information about the condition of the property, how the house operates, where the main shut-off valves to the utilities are located, and much more. And if defects are discovered during the inspection, we’ll explain the possible cause as well as your options to have those defects corrected. With U.S. Inspect, you’re guaranteed to make a well informed buying decision!

Colorado Springs is one of our primary areas of business. With many historic homes similar to Denver, we do alot of refinishing work in the area, but mostly we perform new installs. The northernmost part of Colorado Springs is one of the fastest growing areas in Colorado, and we work directly with builders to provide great custom work for the new home owner.
But our favorite kind of installations in Colorado Springs are hardwood new installs in pre-existing homes. That way, we can work directly with the customer to achieve the desired result. And it is especially rewarding to be able to work with happy home owners to make their homes beautiful.
The custom work we do can even include difficult obstacles that other flooring companies won't touch (and that your local Home Depot will turn away) Often times, this includes custom stair cases, hardwood butted against tile or marble, and difficult angles that require special tools to cut and install.
If you are thinking about installing hardwood, laminate, or any other kind of flooring anywhere in Colorado, make sure to call us. We promise you will be impressed with our work!
