About us

Inspectors who explain, not just report.

Grizzly Home Inspections is a small Colorado team led by Nick Horton, based in Centennial and inspecting along the whole I-25 corridor.

One crew, start to finish.

Buying a house is a big decision made fast. Our job is to slow the important part down: show you what is actually going on with the house, and help you understand which findings matter.

We do the inspection and all of the testing ourselves: radon, mold, water, well, sewer and septic lines, and wood destroying organisms. Nothing is handed off to a middleman. That keeps cost down, keeps your schedule simple, and means the people who saw the house are the people answering your questions.

We work with home buyers, homeowners and property managers, seven days a week, from Fort Collins to Pueblo.

Nick Horton

Founder & Certified Professional Inspector

My name is Nick Horton, and I'm the owner and founder of Grizzly Home Inspections.

Before starting Grizzly, I worked for other home inspection companies, gaining experience and learning the ins and outs of the industry. During that time, I realized something important: there had to be a better way to do things.

I believed home inspections could be more thorough, more personal, and more focused on the people trusting us with one of the biggest investments of their lives. I wanted to build a company where clients weren't just another appointment on the calendar, where questions were always welcome, and where honesty mattered more than making another dollar.

That's why I started Grizzly Home Inspections.

My goal was never to be just another inspection company. I wanted to create something different. A company built on trust, education, attention to detail, and genuine relationships with our clients and real estate professionals.

I believe a great home inspection isn't about scaring someone away from a house or making a home sound perfect. It's about telling the truth, explaining what we find, and giving people the knowledge they need to make confident decisions.

That's still how we operate today.

As Grizzly has grown, I've worked to build a team that shares those same values. We take pride in being thorough, approachable, and available to our clients, not just during the inspection but long after the report has been delivered. We want people to feel comfortable asking questions, understanding their homes, and knowing they have someone they can turn to.

I'm proud of what Grizzly has become, but I'm even more excited about where we're going. No matter how much we grow, I never want to lose sight of why I started this company in the first place.

Do the job right. Treat people right. Be honest, even when it's not the easy answer.

That's the foundation Grizzly was built on, and it's the standard we'll continue to stand behind.

Grizzly Home Inspections — Friendly. Simple. Honest.

I'm Clark Hemker, Training Manager and Inspector at Grizzly Home Inspections, a U.S. Army veteran, and an InterNACHI® Certified Home Inspector.

My passion for home inspections comes from helping people better understand one of the biggest investments they'll ever make. Buying a home can be overwhelming, and I believe a great home inspection should provide clarity, confidence, and peace of mind, not more stress.

My time in the Army taught me the importance of attention to detail, accountability, and doing things the right way. I bring those same values to every inspection I perform. My goal isn't just to identify potential concerns but to help you understand what they mean, why they matter, and which items need immediate attention versus those that can be addressed down the road.

As Grizzly's Training Manager, I also have the opportunity to share my knowledge and experience with our team, helping ensure every inspector delivers the same level of thoroughness, professionalism, and client education that Grizzly is known for.

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is walking clients through their inspection findings, answering their questions, and watching their uncertainty turn into confidence. I want every client to walk away with a better understanding of their home, how its systems work, and what to expect as a homeowner.

At the end of the day, my approach is simple: Be thorough, be honest, and make sure every client feels informed and comfortable moving forward. That's what I believe a home inspection should be, and it's exactly what we strive to deliver at Grizzly Home Inspections.

Home Inspector

Hi, I'm Alan Moya! I'm proud to be part of the Grizzly Home Inspections team and excited to continue building my career in an industry that has been part of my life for years. My dad spent over 20 years in the home inspection industry, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to follow in his footsteps while building my own experience and knowledge.

Over the past year, I've been working alongside the Grizzly team, gaining hands-on experience and training with experienced inspectors. This has given me a strong foundation and reinforced the importance of being thorough, paying attention to the details, and helping clients understand the home they're purchasing.

Throughout my career, I've worked in several different industries, but I've always known that sitting behind a desk wasn't for me. I enjoy staying active, working with my hands, meeting new people, and, most importantly, helping others. Home inspection allows me to bring all those passions together while making a meaningful difference during one of the biggest decisions in someone's life.

I'm committed to continuing to learn, grow, and become the best inspector I can be. My goal is to provide every client with an honest, thorough, and dependable inspection while taking the time to answer questions, explain findings, and help them feel confident moving forward.

At Grizzly, we believe in keeping things friendly, simple, and honest, and I'm proud to carry those values into every inspection.

How we work

What you can count on.

Honest

We tell you what we find, in plain language, including when something is not a big deal.

No upsell

We recommend testing only when the house gives us a reason to. If you do not need it, we will say so.

Teacher first

We walk through the report with you, finding by finding, so you leave knowing your house.
