Who We Are
By using A Precise Home Inspection, you benefit from experienced, certified and insured home inspectors that deliver reports that meet or exceed the Colorado state standards.
A Precise Home Inspection was founded in 2007, just before Lance Hayward separated from the Air Force. Lance knew that he wanted to help people, and after purchasing multiple homes throughout his military career he knew exactly how he wanted to do that. He wanted to provide a level of service that was unseen in the home inspection industry. By providing his 20+ years of Engineer experience and his deep commitment to customer satisfaction, A Precise Home Inspection was quickly the #1 home inspection company in the Colorado Springs area. Over the years, the team has grown and the level of service has raised the bar for home inspection companies. To this day, they are one of the only home inspection companies around that build the report during the inspection, and deliver it before they leave the home. It is A Precise Home Inspection’s mission to help Colorado home buyers find safe and comfortable homes for their families.
