Cliff Hutchins, In the Durango building trades since 1985

Founder & Lead Inspector, Quality Inspection Service

I've lived in the Durango area since 1985 and have been in the building trades much of my life, mainly as a carpenter but with a wide range of experience in many facets of construction. I started Quality Inspection Service in 2000.

Training & Certifications

  • 3,600+ residential & commercial inspections completed
  • Homes, duplexes, fourplexes & multi-unit buildings
  • Hotels, restaurants & commercial properties
  • Log, adobe, straw bale, earth ship, steel & frame construction

I treat every client the way I'd want to be treated — an honest, detailed inspection with no checked-box shortcuts, and every finding described in plain language.

Extensive experience in carpentry, foundations, roofing, insulation, drywall, plumbing, and electrical work — from new construction to major remodels.

Courses in mold and asbestos detection, building sciences, commercial electrical inspection, and Level One Thermography.

Custom Report System

In 2011, I created a new report system that is unique to my company, based on input from clients, sellers, and real estate agents. This occasionally updated report system is streamlined, easy to understand and to the point, with no redundant information.

My typical report is about 16 to 20 pages, with numerous reference photos included in the report and additional JPEG images available upon request. I am always available to answer any questions and address any concerns from anyone involved. My goal is to make my part of the process as smooth and uneventful as possible.
