Refinancing a mortgage is a great way to gain additional funds for a renovation, purchase, or savings. (Photo: Unsplash).

Recently, we’ve seen a trend in home refinancing as current homeowners seek to take advantage of lower interest rates. What BY MICHAELA homeowners PHILLIPS may not Guaranteed know is that Rate, Inc. refinancing a house often requires an entirely new appraisal. An appraisal is typical during any home sale in which the buyer requests loan approval. The appraisal works to determine the market value of the home as set forth by the property’s location, features, age, and other factors. When applying to refinance your home, the bank will send an appraiser out to assess your property in its current state. Here’s what you need to know about a refinancing appraisal. Revamp the curb appeal Appraisers care about the exterior appearance of your home and consider it when calculating the market value. Ensure your home’s lawn, walkway, front door, and windows are clean and clear of debris. You may consider repainting your home as this is a huge value booster but doesn’t require much money or time.

Replace cracked address numbers or even get a new mailbox. Fix and fence latches, sprinkler heads, doorbells, or porch lights. Make a positive first impression on the appraiser by performing small fixes on your home’s exterior. Repaint and declutter The appraiser will take note of chipped paint, drywall damage, cracks in concrete, or other small defects. They may require that repairs be done prior to closing on the refinancing, so we recommend fixing these issues ahead of time to urge the process along. Be sure to remove unnecessary clutter from the interior of your home; this will better showcase the rooms, closets, and other features. Make sure household items work Over time, small items in the house, like light switches, faucets, outlets, and overhead lighting may develop small issues. A leaky faucet, cracked or missing outlet cover, flickering light, etc. can communicate to the appraiser that you don’t perform routine maintenance on the home. Perform these repairs to ensure your home is in good working order. Spend money on repairs that boost value Upgrading the kitchen and

bathroom appliances and fixtures can greatly increase the value of your home. These rooms see the most use and are easily dated based on their design. If an appraisal is required with your refinance, it’s important to let your lender know that you’re doing repairs or renovations on your home. If you’re in the middle of renovations, the appraiser will usually mark the appraisal as “subject to completion” and you’ll need to finish the renovations prior to closing on the refinance. Most refinancing situations require a home appraisal before the bank will approve. Set yourself up for success prior to the appraisal by performing routine maintenance, replacing broken fixtures, and cleaning your entire home, inside and out. Advise the appraiser of any ongoing renovations prior to their visit so you are both aware of how they’d like to proceed. Refinancing a mortgage is a great way to gain additional funds for a renovation, purchase, or savings. Michaela is the Vice President of Mortgage Lending at Guaranteed Rate, Inc.

Don’t fence me in Whether they’re welcoming, ornamental, or downright foreboding, fences are an icon of the American landscape. Throughout the BY SEAN centuries, fences MCILLWAIN have been Mod Boulder fought over, erected as declarations of staked claim, or chatted over while sharing recipes and gossip. There’s no hedging about it: fences are a cornerstone of American culture. The word “fence” has origins in the 14th-century Middle French word “defens”, meaning “the act of defending”. As civilization’s concepts of family, property, and agriculture solidified, fences stood as a visual symbol of our collective acknowledgement of private property and intentions. In what’s now the eastern United States, Native Americans used walls of wooden posts to

ubiquitous barbed wire was the new material of choice, used by western ranchers to denote their boundary lines and deter new settlers from encroaching on their pastures. This claim-staking led to the fence wars of the late 19th century, often turning neighbors against each other, sometimes with deadly results. As America looked toward the 20th century, land usage and division began to change. What was once first-come-first-served was now thoughtfully platted and plotted for organized subdivisions. Fences became more than just property lines; they became a visual component to the American landscape. This suburban growth marked the beginning of the modern fence. While the standard chainlink fence was often utilized, many other styles were incorporated to add personality. The simple dog-ear fence was the perfect compliment to the basic ranch-style home, as was the shadow box for the midmod architecture of the day.

mark their village’s territory. When early settlers began establishing their homesteads on the frontier, the iconic Virginia Worm Fences denoted their staked claim. Typically owner-built and made of local materials, these wooden fences were notably inexpensive and uncomplicated, and didn’t require holes to be dug or posts to be placed.

Utilitarian materials like concrete, metal, and cinder blocks were used to up the artistic ante. The breeze block — cinder blocks stacked and designed to create a mosaic or other pattern — has found its footing in modern fence design, with quite the underground following. Another popular and attractive fence that’s gained popularity is the gabion wall — a wire cage, cylinder, or box filled with rocks or concrete. Fences have come a long way from their origins as a form of defense and protection to a defining aspect of architectural design. Robert Frost once declared, “Good fences make good neighbors,” but as an enthusiast of timeless design, I’d argue that “Good neighbors make good fences”.

HOME AND GARDEN

Show off your hips this fall

Fall is a time for celebration, with the end of season harvest and cool relief from heat getting us out into the garden to enjoy the autumn sights. BY CAROL We revel in the O’MEARA changing colors, Colorado State marvel at the University Extension, Boulder County sunflowers’ nodding heads, and laugh as squirrels gather nuts. But what really gets us to stop and stare are the big, bodacious hips mother nature can produce. Roses, hawthorns, and crabapple step up the show by setting fruit in brilliant hues and holding the gorgeous globes well into winter. In crimson, gold, and purple, the fruit covers these plants in an autumn glory long past the last falling leaf. Some are delicious, others not edible at all, but look fantastic in a fall table arrangement. Not every plant is lucky enough to flaunt their hips, so when you’re looking to add a sassy show to your landscape, plant now for years of fall flash: Crabapples, the smaller-fruiting cousin to standard apple trees, is popular in landscapes for its showy spring blooms. But the real jewels of this tree can be found later in the season with colorful, edible fruit. Such a large plant will dominate the yard once it matures, so choose a variety that fits into the area. Dwarfs and semi-dwarfs are best for urban and suburban landscapes, while standards can take up to 35 feet of room. Fruit as well as flower can differ by variety. Want to accent the garden with orange-red fall tones? Try Indian Magic, a moderate-

sized tree which starts early in the season with deep pink blossoms. Sun-colored Sir Lancelot drapes itself in gold, and at a petite eight feet wide, is perfect for smaller yards. Fans of weeping crabapples will delight in Molten Lava, a unique variety with yellow bark and hot red berries. Yet most of the modern crabapples don’t have the tastiest fruit; if you want to grow for the kitchen, plant Whitney, with medium sized red and yellow crabapples, or russet-colored Chestnut. Choosing a rose for flower alone means you’ll miss the sizzling finale to their summer. While many focus on perfume and bloom, savvy rosarians design fall hips into the garden. Hips are produced after the bloom fades, swelling and ripening as fall arrives. Shop now

to find the hips that best mach your garden’s décor. In colors from green to yellow, orange to crimson, there’s a hip for everyone and every style. Rosa pulverulenta is a charming sensation, with cranberry-red hips and dainty foliage. For a native touch, try Rosa glauca, a large arching shrub with purple foliage and bronze fruit. Rugosa alba, a continuous blooming white flowered shrub, gets magnificent hips in orange red tones. Rosa rugosa, a cook’s favorite, should be harvested just after the first frost kisses their hips. Fruity with a hint of spice, be sure to remove the hairy seeds before cooking with them. Russian hawthorns (Crataegus ambigua) are a must-have tree for gardeners wanting a four-season plant. With their creamy white flowers, spectacular red berries

and dark, feathery foliage, this is a tree you’ll fall in love with. Not everyone likes a plant with showy hips and a prickly personality. If you plan to work under or around the tree in your garden, look for something a little less thorny. And leave the fruit of this tree for the birds; though edible, the experience isn’t pleasant – they’re pulpy and tasteless. Carol A.

REAL ESTATE MATTERS

Association’s lack of consistency causes construction issue for homeowner By Ilyce Glink and Samuel J. Tamkin, Tribune Content Agency Q: I recently purchased a single family detached home in a 55-plus community, which has a pergola covering my patio. I petitioned my homeowners association to allow the installation of clear roof panels on my pergola for year-round weather protection. They denied the request. Upon receipt of the denial, I appealed to the association asking them to reconsider due to the fact that other homeowners in the community have roof coverings on their pergolas and that I would be happy to install the same type on my pergola. This appeal was also denied, and they responded that the declaration gives the board of the association the right, as it changes, to change their view relating to aesthetic matters, as well as interpretation, application and enforcement of the design

guidelines in the homeowners association documents. Based upon the aforementioned, do I have any recourse with the association or should I consider the matter closed? A: Well, that doesn’t seem quite right. From where we sit, we think your homeowners association should have some consistency in the design and construction guidelines for all pergolas in the development. While we understand that one board of directors can differ from the next on what they think is nice and aesthetically pleasing, if the look of the pergola is consistent with others on the property, it shouldn’t matter what materials are used under the covers, so to speak. And, we wonder why they’d no longer allow what most everyone has already done. Most association documents contain language that gives the board some cover, but typically association boards have a duty of

good faith to their fellow owners and can’t act in a discriminatory or capricious manner. The curt tone of the letter makes this seem like a capricious denial. You may want to wait until the next election of association board members and make your request again. (You might even want to run for a board seat, so you can see what is really going on.) You could hire an attorney to review the issue, but we don’t know how far that will get you, whether you’ll make enemies or friends, or how much it will cost. You should also research the rules of the association to see if there is any document that describe what can and can’t be built. We assume that your association documents allow people to modify or add on different items to the homes. Some of these may be structural changes and others aesthetic. If you can figure out what standard the board must use legally to evaluate construction

and aesthetic changes to the buildings, you’ll have more insight on how to plead your case. You may also be able to review some of the older meeting minutes to figure out what other owners said to get those boards to grant the approval and see if your request is similar (or different enough) to instruct your appeal. Finally, we suggest you make friends with the owners of the other pergolas and solicit their suggestions on how to get your petition through the board.

The buzz about sustainable housing

Is sustainable housing just a real estate buzz word or is it actually happening in the real estate industry? Sustainable BY DUANE housing is a DUGGAN multi-faceted and Realtor and Author evolving term RE/MAX of Boulder encompassing eco-friendly construction and design with low environmental impact and higher energy efficiency. It also entails lasting economic, health, and social benefits to households and the community. Many home builders are now very conscious of constructing dwellings that incorporate sustainable features. In 2015, the National Association of Realtors® conducted a study of features that constitute a green, healthier home and community. They are as follows: • Solar panels for electricity to power the house and charge your electric car • Solar panels for hot water and space heat • High walk score, transit, Sept. 20-21, 2019

• • • • •

•

and biking score to lower commuting costs and day-today travel (reducing carbon emissions) Energy efficient utilities, appliances, and lighting Smart/connected home Green community with bike lanes and paths, open space Landscaping for water conservation, rooftop gardens Efficient domestic water usage by using low flow shower heads and smaller capacity toilets Interior air quality/radon mitigation

Now in 2019, the National Association of Realtors surveyed its Realtor® members to assess how far the industry has progressed in housing sustainability. Results indicate that we are making strides in the sustainability housing world. Helping buyers choose homes with sustainable features is an important part of the home buying process. The survey found that 41 percent of Multiple Listing Services across the county now have data fields to identify features such as energy, green certifications, and more. Having these data fields enables home buyers to search for

homes with desired sustainability features. The desire of the home buying public to pay for sustainable features is critical to building a sustainable housing stock. 59 percent of those surveyed said clients were at least somewhat interested in sustainability. This shows that home buyers are becoming increasingly aware of the features that constitute a sustainable home. Solar panels are a hot item. 83 percent of the respondents said properties with solar panels were available in their market. 36 percent said that solar panels increased the perceived value of the property. Home buyers are also becoming more aware of what it means to have a “high performing” home. Sixteen percent of respondents said that a “high performance” home (defined as a systematic building science approach to home improvements that increase indoor comfort, health, operational efficiency, and durability) is becoming more important to them. Housing sustainability will be a buzz word in the real estate industry for years to come. The above National Association of

Realtors research and survey show that awareness is improving. Realtor can help you find both new homes and existing homes with sustainable features. If you are selling a home, your Realtor can help you decide if adding sustainable features to your home will help you sell your home more quickly and for a higher sales price.

COVERPROFILE

Single-level living at 27Pine features fit, form and function

Located at 2718 Pine Street in the tree-lined, historic East Whittier neighborhood, 27Pine is a new, boutique building featuring 13 condominium homes in a lovely residential setting. (Renderings courtesy: Coburn Development).

By Pam Moore for At Home

ituated in downtown Boulder’s East Whittier neighborhood, 27Pine is a new condominium project by Coburn Development that’s designed to hit a sweet spot in the Boulder real estate market with a perfect balance of luxury, accessibility, and value. According to RE/MAX of Boulder realtor Rich Gribbon, “Homeowners are going to love the form, fit and function of this building.” Though construction is not slated for completion until December 2020, three homes are already under contract, according to John McElveen, also a realtor with RE/MAX of Boulder. For a limited time, up to three more home buyers are eligible for valuable incentives. “The offer includes a $10,000 12

credit toward finish upgrades,” says McElveen. “Additionally, early purchasers will enjoy their pick of prime unit location.” While new home construction is trending toward multi-level dwellings, Coburn is taking a different approach with 27Pine. The 13-unit building is a smallscale, 3-story structure, designed with sound proportions and warm finishes. Homes feature singlelevel living with elevator access, open floor plans with plenty of natural light, enhanced flow and convenience. “Open flow and light-filled spatial factors make a home feel good, and ensure its timelessness,” explains Gribbon. Located in the tree-lined, historic East Whittier neighborhood, residents will enjoy a quiet location while relishing the in-and-out ease of central Boulder. With its modern clean lines, covered parking and a

community patio bordering Pine Street, the property fits right in with its residential setting, giving homeowners a chance to enjoy quiet, green spaces. “27Pine is a natural extension of Whittier, where we got our start renovating homes 35 years ago,” says John Koval, principal at Coburn Development. “It’s simply a great tree-lined pocket that is accessible and quiet while being close to the action.” East Whittier’s established residential district is both close and not-too-close to the best things Boulder has to offer. “It reminds us of how, in a larger city, you might turn a corner and find yourself in a lovely residential neighborhood, where the trees and architectural mix of homes are both appealing and intriguing,” says McElveen. “For residents who enjoy walking and biking, 27Pine will feel both connected and perfectly detached.

Just off the well-beaten paths of Pearl and 28th Streets, it’s a lovely, tranquil neighborhood that feels a world away.” 27Pine’s radius includes Whole Foods, the Twenty Ninth Street Mall, Colorado Athletic Club and The Dairy Center for the Arts. RTD transit stations are just blocks away, as is the Google campus. A few more blocks away on East Pearl Street, Boulder favorites like Pizzeria Locale, Snooze, The Laughing Goat, and Frasca Food & Wine are easy to get to. Despite its proximity to so much good stuff, staying in at 27Pine is also a great option. Coburn has taken care to address details like systems, storage, security, and convenience. The second and third floors are accessible by elevator. The air, water, and energy systems incorporate cutting-edge technology and high efficiency. Many homes include flex spaces DAILY CAMERA / TIMES-CALL

that can be used for work, hobbies, and gear. Other amenities include an electric car charging station, a dog and bike-washing station, and options for exterior storage. “27Pine is designed to put people first.” says Pete Weber, the award-winning Coburn architect and chief designer of 27Pine. “Our design inspiration starts and ends with the living experience of the homeowner. We delve into the end-user’s experience not just in design, but in planning and building as well. That’s why 27Pine fits so well within its surroundings, lives well with useful indoor and outdoor spaces, and functions smartly with systems that are reliable and headache-free.” The building offers one- and two-bedroom floor plans. Every unit boasts nine-foot ceilings and large windows that maximize mountain views to create lightfilled, airy spaces. Each residence also features a private covered deck where you can enjoy the outdoors even when you feel like staying in your slippers. Whether you’re an empty nester, young professional, or a part-time Boulderite, 27Pine has something for you.

finishes. To create a comfortable, modern feel, finish materials include quartz, wood, and steel. Kitchens and bathrooms showcase sleek modern cabinetry with a choice of light or dark color schemes. Residents will enjoy the clean look of fiveinch plank engineered wood floors with a light or dark stain option. Oversize windows offer exceptional views, ranging from the southern vistas of the Flatirons, and Mount Sanitas to the north. While there is so much to love

“This building is smartly designed to appeal to a variety of buyers,” says McElveen. “From empty nesters seeking a come and go lifestyle, to millennials working for one of Boulder’s tech companies, 27Pine offers an ideal solution.” McElveen and Gribbon call the property a “lock and leave oasis” that allows residents to leave home with peace of mind, whether walking to work for the day or spending a month away. Coburn’s attention to detail includes stylish, functional

about the property, including the location, the thoughtful design, and the amenities, 27Pine also offers another special feature — value. “The overarching value proposition of 27Pine comes back to its sweet spot,” explains Gribbon. “These homes are generously spaced, light-filled, and beautifully located. In relative terms, 27Pine is exceptionally well priced.” Coburn is committed to creating great places that enhance the lives of those who use them. As a small, local company, Coburn has focused on smart development in towns like Boulder, Crested Butte, and Fort Collins for nearly four decades. Boulder projects include 1505 Pearl Street, the Steelyards, Nickel Flats at Boulder Junction, and many more. “Coburn’s goal has never been to maximize profit over people’s experience,”says Koval. “Instead, we focus first on the people who use our buildings, and that makes all the difference. 27Pine will reflect this thoughtfulness, too” For more information on 27Pine, contact John McElveen at 303.818.7500, Rich Gribbon at 303.931.6979 or visit 27pineboulder.com.

ASK ANGIE'S LIST

What do I need to know about contractor liens? By Paul F. P. Pogue Angie's List If you intend to hire a contractor for repairs or home improvements, it’s important to brush up on the lesser-known contract option known as a contractor lien waiver. Liens are a powerful tool contractors can use to enforce their debts. While no contractor wants to resort to using a lien, sometimes they’re a necessary outcome. Contractors have an interest in your home until they’re paid – especially suppliers and subcontractors. Since they can’t repossess bricks or other products once they’ve been installed, they need this legal avenue to recover their investment if they’re not paid. Though particulars vary by state, mechanics’ liens give a supplier, subcontractor or contractor a partial legal claim to the property for unpaid work or materials. A lien can wreak havoc on a project by tying up bank loans, clouding title ownership and scaring away potential

Fortunately, you can take steps ahead of time to protect yourself. How to avoid liens The most important tool available to you is a subcontractor/supplier lien waiver, sometimes known as a lien release. This document is an important step for larger projects that involve working relationships with contractors, subcontractors, material providers, equipment lessors and anyone else involved. Any reliable general contractor A contractor lien waiver gives a supplier, will have no problem offering subcontractor or contractor a partial these documents. legal claim to property for unpaid work To get a lien release and avoid or materials.

the contract obligations have been met, including that the general contractor has made all necessary payments to materials suppliers, subcontractors or vendors. If the general contractor doesn’t agree to sign off on the subcontractor lien waiver, you can withhold payment until he or she has proven they’ve paid their suppliers or subcontractors. If possible, make checks out to both the contractor and subcontractor or supplier, requiring two signatures to cash. One of the most essential things to know about liens and subcontractor lien releases is how they’re enforced in your area. Although the general principle is the same for most areas, each state or municipality has different standards for the application of liens and their releases. If a lien was improperly filed, you may be able to get it removed. Paul F. P.

ASK THE EXPERT

DIY Home Improvements It is often said; “If you want the job done right, then do it yourself.” This is not always the case. Homeowners don’t always BY RICK have the right JACQUEMARD skills or correct Flatirons Home Inspections tools for a project. If you have to buy $500 of tools for a $400 job, you’re not saving money. Don’t forget your own hourly rate either. If you spend hours watching videos and then several more getting the job done, you might be better off hiring someone else to do the work. Be realistic about what you can do yourself. Replacing sheetrock is an example of something that many people can do themselves. However, it’s best to stay away from anything structural, as an engineer might need to be involved. As a home

inspector it is often easy to spot improvements or renovations done by the homeowner. The following are just a few things you might want to steer clear of. Electrical Repair: DIY electrical work can be nerve-wracking. A wrong decision could result in a house fire or even worse, serious injury or death. In addition, when it’s time to sell your home an inspector may find that your DIY work is not up to code. This could decrease the value of your home or cost a lot to repair. Roofing Repair: Being up on a roof is dangerous. That’s why it’s best to leave roof replacement or repair to a professional. Not only are they experienced, they possess the proper tools for the task – when you’re replacing your roof, you not only need the materials for the new roof, you need the tools to be able to complete the task itself. In addition, most home warranties require that a certified roofer perform repairs. Fencing: Hiring a professional to install a fence in your yard, rather than doing it yourself, could be the difference between enhanced curb appeal and disaster. Installing a fence is a lot more time consuming and expensive than typically

perceived. You need to be able to dig holes for your posts and install a fence that rises and dips with the contours of your lawn. Also, most municipalities require permits. Often, this is a job for a professional Instead of wasting your time installing a poor fence, consider hiring a reputable company. Plumbing: There is a lot of knowledge and expertise that goes into this. From broken pipes and leaks to installing a water heater, toilet or disposal, you’ll want a professional to do the job. It can be easy to start a plumbing project believing all you have to do is tighten a fitting or install a gasket and end up causing water damage, still hiring a plumber. Much like electrical work, your plumbing also must follow codes to ensure everything works properly. Not only will a professional plumber know the codes, they’ll know the correct size of pipes, connections and valves for all the different purposes of water use. Structural Work: Whether adding on or changing the existing structure of your home, structural work is no easy feat. Before you start swinging a sledgehammer, you should know that demolishing a load-bearing wall could compromise the structural

integrity of your home. A professional contractor will be aware of any wiring, gas or plumbing in the walls of your home prior to beginning any demolition. Contractors will be aware of specific permits you may need before you make any structural changes. A general contractor will also know which sub-contractors will be needed for your job. It may be tempting to engage in this type of DIY project. However, a project at this magnitude may compromise the structural integrity of your house and have expensive consequences. To avoid any problems with the framing or foundation of your home, contact an engineer or a certified contractor before you remove a wall or add a room to your house Most inspectors will be able to spot poorly done DIY projects. This can lead to more expense and time invested in your home in the long run. These type of issues result in postponed sale or even a cancelled contract.

ASK THE EXPERT

Fire mitigation Foothill and mountain residents should always be thinking about fire mitigation. By doing wildfire mitigation, BY RICK homeowners JACQUEMARD can increase Flatirons Home their safety Inspections and reduce the risk to life and property. However, given the unpredictable nature and behavior of wildfire, it should be noted that there are no guarantees. Fire mitigation is a series of steps that you can take to reduce the risk of a wildfire damaging or destroying your property. It includes assessing the risks around your property and your responsibility in mitigating them, thereby creating a defensible space. Due to Colorado’s arid climate and many forests, homeowners and landowners may be particularly vulnerable to wildfires even in normal or heavy snowfall years. It is important to keep this threat

in mind when buying or building a home. Homes in many areas of Colorado are threatened, damaged or destroyed each year by wildfires. Anyone who is thinking of purchasing a home in forested or otherwise fire-prone areas should consider the hazard presented to the property by a wildfire and should attempt to mitigate its effects. By doing wildfire mitigation work, homeowners can substantially increase their safety and reduce the risk to life and property. In Boulder County, land use

codes require individuals who are constructing a new home in forested areas, or remodeling some existing homes, create and implement a Wildfire Mitigation Plan, which includes the creation and maintenance of effective defensible space. Other homeowners are encouraged, but not required, to create and maintain effective defensible space. Defensible space is an area between a house and an oncoming wildfire where the vegetation has been managed to reduce the wildfire threat and allow firefighters to safely defend the house. Use materials such as asphalt shingles, slate or clay tile, or metal roof coverings. Ensure roof-covering assemblies do not contain openings that allow firebrand entry. Install fire-resistive or noncombustible construction materials on siding and walls. Eaves should extend beyond exterior walls with fire-resistive materials. Cover all vent openings to internal structure areas (attic, eave/soffit, foundation, etc.) with a corrosionresistant, non-combustible wire mesh or screen that prevents firebrands from entering structures. Concrete block, cement walls, or other fire-resistive materials should be used for foundation

walls. Construct overhanging projections (decks, balconies, unenclosed roofs, etc.) of heavy timber, non-combustible or ignition resistant material. Minimize the size and number of windows on the downhill side of the house or the side most likely to be exposed to wildfire. Both the size and the type of materials used are crucial in windows and sliding-glass doors. Multi-paned glass or tempered glass is recommended. Wildfire does not recognize property lines. If you effectively mitigate your property, you may help save your neighbor’s home and vice versa. Wildfires can impact entire communities. Linked defensible spaces are a key community protection strategy. Having a defensible space around your home may also lower your insurance premiums. The following links have more helpful information regarding fire mitigation: bouldercountycwpp.org; csfs. colostate.edu/wildfire-mitigation/ community-wildfire-protectionplans. For more information on home inspections contact Rick Jacquemard, at 720.280.3544, e-mail rick@flatironshi.com or visit flatironshi.com. Make life easier. And better!
