Inspectors

At Tiger Home and Building Inspections, we have a team of experienced, certified home inspectors in Vail that are ready to perform your inspection. All of the inspectors are certified through the InterNational Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNachi). Colorado does not mandate that home inspectors be certified, but at Tiger, we believe that certification is necessary so that our clients can feel confident that they are getting a quality and thorough home inspection. Our certified home inspectors in the Vail area are also trained in Infrared Thermography, Sewer Scoping, Radon Testing and Well Flow Testing.

Our inspectors have a combined experience of over 40 years and thousands of hours of inspecting. We are experts in inspecting mountain properties and well as non-mountain properties. If our Vail area certified home inspectors run into something they are not familiar with, we have open communication at Tiger and the inspectors will help each other out when needed. Having a built-in help network puts us ahead of our competition that may work on their own with no source for help when needed. This is one of the things that puts Tiger above the rest.

When you book an inspection with Tiger, you can be assured that you will have an InterNACHI certified inspector with plenty of experience and knowledge to give you the best possible inspection. They will be available either at the inspection or afterward by phone or email to go over any concerns at the property and to make sure you have all your questions answered.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Tiger Home and Building Inspections, and we couldn't be happier with their service. We were on a tight schedule and needed a thorough inspection done quickly. From the very start, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. The inspector arrived on time and was incredibly thorough, meticulously examining every aspect of the property. It was clear that they took their job seriously and wanted to ensure that we had a complete understanding of the condo’s condition. Not only did they inspect every nook and cranny, but they also took the time to explain their findings to us in a clear and concise manner. Their report was detailed, comprehensive, and easy to understand, which helped us make informed decisions about our purchase. What impressed us the most was their ability to accommodate our tight timeline. They went above and beyond to ensure that we had the inspection report in hand quickly, allowing us to proceed with confidence in our home buying process. Overall, Tiger Home and Building Inspections provided exceptional service. Their thoroughness, attention to detail, and ability to meet our quick timeline make them an outstanding choice for anyone in need of a home inspection. We highly recommend them and will definitely use their services again in the future.

Inspection scheduling process was easy and all options were explained well. Fred was the inspector and he was very knowledgeable and took the time to discuss all findings. We had a few follow up questions and he was very responsive. Report was well organized and easy to read. Very satisfied.

Everyone I talked to, from the office manager to the inspector, was friendly and helpful. I was able to get an inspection the next day, and results in a matter of hours. Ben talked us through his initial findings, made sure everything was super clear. Love working with Grand County locals!

Andrew was incredible. Everything that you'd hope for in an inspection - thorough, systematic, thoughtful. But also much more. He walked us through every aspect of the inspection, what he noticed, what it revealed (or didn't), and what to look out for in the future. And he was patient with our (many) questions. The inspection fee was worth it for just the education alone. After just a few hours, I understood more about the house and property than other places where I've lived for years. And even beyond the knowledge in the report, this experience provided the confidence to make informed decisions moving forward - be it with this property or knowing what to look for in the future. A couple notes on the "extras" - I was on the fence about the infrared/thermal imaging, but after seeing how skillfully it was integrated to the whole inspection - not just checking for heat loss in a place or two, but for reviewing the electrical, which vents worked and didn't, and identifying potential moisture spots (and even seeing the framing in the wall from thermal bridging), I'm glad to have done it! I also didn't initially include the Repair Pricer Tool, but after receiving the inspection report and seeing how thorough it was, I immediately went back to get it! All to say, I would go back to Andrew for any future inspections and would fully recommend his work to others! Thanks again!

A home inspection by Andrew turned up a number of issues (radon, compacted attic insulation, damaged shingles) and one really big one: half the length of the sewer line had standing water. Discovering this before the purchase saved us tens of thousands. We wholeheartedly recommend Andrew and the rest of the team at Tiger Home Inspections.

Heather and Ben were very, wery good to work with. We had a fast-track inspection to complete for mountain home purchase that bumped up a holiday weekend. They were responsive, helpful, friendly, informative of inspection options, flexible, and fairly priced. Contracting and scheduling was seamless. Ben was thorough and professional, and following the inspection went through the full report with must dos, concerns, and options. Highly recommend Tiger Home Inspection.

The whole experience with Tiger Inspections was first class. I called the office and got scheduled by MaryBeth with Fred. Marybeth capably answered all my questions with courtesy and kindness. She is the front face for Tiger Inspections; what a great supporter for them. Meeting Fred for the scheduled inspection, he outlined his plan for going through the home. At the same time, Fred carefully explained his role and responsibilities to me. All my questions were answered with quiet confidence and clarity. Over the years, we’ve purchased a number of homes throughout Colorado. Fred’s competence and forthright approach was the best experience of all. Highly recommended! Fred, thanks again for your service, Bill

We hired Tiger Home & Building Inspections for a home we're purchasing in Buena Vista, Colorado. We also added the Radon test to the inspection for awareness. They were very responsive, addressed all of my questions, and put us on their schedule in a timely manner. The inspection report was available the same day they went out to the house and the results from the Radon test were available shortly after the tests were completed. The reports were very detailed and comprehensive. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Tiger Home Inspection is so wonderful to work with. They understood all our needs and delivered promptly. They made the inspection process easy, from scheduling to the inspection itself. Andrew as our inspector. He was wonderful in explaining everything he was looking at and noticing while going through the home. I learned so much from him. I have never seen a more thorough inspection when purchasing a home. The best I have seen to be sure!

The inspector was thorough, professional and a great communicator. He explained how the radiant in floor heat works (new type of heating for me). He had practical explanations for how other systems work. Definitely recommend the company!

Very detailed inspection report. Mary Beth was super kind and knowledgeable about what was needed. She made the process run smoothly and the report was available almost immediately after inspection. Thank you Tiger Homes for being prompt and professional!!!

I would highly recommend Tiger inspection as they are super, super thorough. They actually found so many issues with the condo we were purchasing that we wound up backing out of the deal based on the inspection. Lots of hidden surprises. We would have been so disappointed to have purchased it with all of the electrical problems they uncovered. They also gave us a very nice report that was so easy to read and understand with color-coded issues. Thank you for the thorough work and I highly recommend this company!

Tiger was very responsive to our need to move quickly. They were at the house inspecting in less than a week, and the inspection took place over a long three day Memorial Day weekend. Inspector (Chad) was knowledgeable, professional, honest and objective about the house’s pluses and minuses. The work performed was as expected and results were delivered on time as promised. Chad produced a very useful and understandable written report, and verbally communicated his findings to us clearly and authoritatively upon conclusion of his inspection. I trust Chad at Tiger. I had a good experience with other Tiger staff. I would use Tiger again, with no reservations, and will recommend Tiger to friends.

Could not say more good things regarding Tiger Home & Building Inspections. I have used them previously and appreciated the detail that they have when inspecting a home. Andrew was my inspector and he was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. I was there the whole time and he was willing to answer questions and walk me through any things that he saw that he thought would be important for me to know at the time. He was early to the appointment and was overall a genuine and kind person to work with for the 4 hours. The report at the end is very detailed and helpful with pictures and videos as needed. I would use Tiger Home & Building Inspections many times over and will recommend to anyone need their services!

The inspection was efficient and thorough. Inspector (Andrew) walked me through the individual pieces of the report and the realities of cost and time to address. I feel like the work/report had great value. Thanks
