Home Inspections in Pueblo & Cañon City, CO
Arrow Home Inspections serves Pueblo, Pueblo West, and Cañon City with certified home inspections, same-day reports, and transparent pricing starting at $400 - 500. Pueblo's housing is unlike anywhere else on the Front Range: brick homes from the steel-era early 1900s, mid-century neighborhoods, and fast-growing Pueblo West acreage all in one market. Inspecting a 1915 Bessemer four-square and a 2022 Pueblo West build are different jobs - we do both regularly, and since 2018 we've backed every report with the experience of 750+ five-star Google reviews.
Our team includes a prior licensed electrician and a prior HVAC technician: backgrounds that earn their keep in a market where century-old wiring and evaporative cooling systems are everyday finds.
What's Included in Every Inspection
Roof, electrical, heating and cooling, plumbing, foundation and structure, attic and crawlspace, insulation, and interior and exterior conditions - documented with photos and video in a same-day report. Most inspections take 2–4 hours. You're welcome to attend and ask questions throughout.
What We Look for in Pueblo-Area Homes
Century-old housing stock.
Pueblo's historic neighborhoods: Bessemer, Mesa Junction, the Northside, East Side are all full of solid brick homes built for steelworker families a hundred years ago. Solid doesn't mean problem-free: knob-and-tube or early wiring, panels with known failure histories, galvanized supply lines, original clay sewer laterals under mature trees, plaster movement, and generations of DIY additions are the recurring finds. Old homes reward inspectors who've seen hundreds of them; ours have.
Sewer scopes are near-mandatory here.
Of every add-on we offer, this is the one we recommend most strongly for older Pueblo homes. Original clay lines with 80 -100 years of root exposure are a five-figure surprise waiting to happen - and a camera scope during your inspection period turns that surprise into a negotiating item instead.
Evaporative ("swamp") coolers. Pueblo's hot, dry summers make evaporative cooling common in a way it isn't further north. We evaluate cooler condition, winterization, roof mounting and penetrations, and the water connections that quietly cause damage when neglected.
Pueblo West acreage.
Larger lots, newer builds, outbuildings, and, on some properties, private wells and septic systems. New construction out here carries the same grading, drainage, and finish defects we find everywhere fast growth happens; we offer new-build and 11-month warranty inspections.
Radon, soils, and hail - southern edition.
Pueblo County sits in the EPA's highest radon risk zone like the rest of the Front Range; we're licensed radon professionals with 48-hour continuous monitoring. Expansive soils and hail-cycled roofs round out the usual suspects.
VA buyers: Pueblo County is a termite-inspection county.
Under the VA's mid-2025 policy update, VA purchase loans and cash-out refinances in most Colorado counties - including Pueblo and Fremont - require a wood-destroying insect inspection on the NPMA-33 form before the Notice of Value can be issued. We perform VA termite inspections and can bundle them with your home inspection in one visit.

Investor and rental purchases.
Pueblo's price point draws first-time buyers and investors alike. For investors, our report doubles as a capital-expenditure plan: roof, furnace, water heater, and sewer condition with remaining-life context, so your rehab budget is built on inspection findings rather than guesses.
