The systems. Wiring, plumbing, sewer line, roof and foundation are the five items that decide the real price of a historic home. We inspect all five.

Windows and insulation. Original windows are protected in most districts. Storm windows and attic insulation are how a historic Denver home gets a modern utility bill.
