About Us
Knowledgeable Inspector
Welcome! I am Chris Summerlin. I am based in Elizabeth, Colorado. My experience in the fire service, property insurance, residential home, and custom home building industry make me a great choice to be your inspector. I am a member of InterNACHI where I hold the Certified Master Inspector designation, and CCPIA(Certified Commercial Property Inspectors Association), where I continue to pursue additional education and new techniques in the inspection industry.

INSPECTION PROCESS
INSPECTION PROCESS
Buying a home, or Commercial property is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make. I prefer my clients at the inspection appointment to allow us to work together and build a relationship. It also allows you the opportunity to speak directly with me on site and ask questions about the condition of the home or building you are purchasing. I have made a career serving the communities that I live and work in and consider it a honor to serve you on the journey.
Can't make the inspection? No problem! Pre-Closing walk throughs are included on every inspection. On the pre-closing walk through we will walk through the report, any repairs, and make you feel comfortable before you arrive at the closing table.

Engineer’s Foundation Evaluation
The purpose of an Engineer’s Foundation Evaluation is to have an Engineer investigate and
determine, to the extent possible, the foundation's current condition and any necessary repairs
that may be needed immediately and/or in the future.
We, through a partnership with Noble Engineering Services, understand that foundation issues
can be a cause for concern for property owners, and we aim to provide clear and concise
information to help you make informed decisions about any repairs needed for your property.
The evaluation by our team generally includes:
● Documenting visual observations made during a physical walkthrough
● Observing factors influencing the performance of the foundation
● Conducting an interview of occupants/owners/managers regarding a history of the
property and foundation
● Reviewing pertinent information including Geotech reports, construction drawings, field
reports, and repair docs
● Providing elevation, deflection, and tilt calculations to assess foundation performance
and establish a baseline
● Providing a detailed conclusion and Executive Summary.
HUD/ FHA Mobile Home Structural Engineering Inspections
We, through a partnership with Noble Engineering Services, can perform a Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) structural engineering inspection to meet the requirements under the
Permanent Foundations Guide for Manufactured Housing (PFMGH).
Our team will visually assess the existing foundation and determine if a permanent foundation is
present, attached, sound, and fully supported per the PFMGH requirements for HUD.
Out ream can then customize an engineering report for you and your lender (depending on VA,
FHA, or Conventional financing)
