Trusted Home Inspections in and around Durango, CO
Meet Your Inspector
Hi, I’m Matt Dent, InterNACHI Certified home inspector serving Durango, Purgatory, Silverton, Pagosa Springs, and the Four Corners. I’m a local business owner and handyman, and I became an inspector to help homeowners understand the issues and areas of concern within their homes.
I’ve always had a meticulous work ethic and a highly attuned sense of “that doesn’t look right.” Through my professional background, I’ve gained an attention to detail that can only come from years of experience working for companies that have the highest standards and expectations.
There’s nothing worse than buying a brand new home and getting moved in, only to find out that the house wasn’t what you bargained for (ask me about when I bought my first house). Whether you’re getting ready to buy or sell a home, I will provide an inspection that is thorough and detailed. If you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer them. I look forward to working with you!
