Historic Home Inspections

Preserving the Past

Owning a historic home provides a unique connection to the past. However, these structures often present special challenges that require extra knowledge. At VERIDORN Inspections, we understand historic properties in Gillette, WY, and have first-hand experience. We offer inspections just for these homes to help keep their charm and character.

Please note that we do not check for lead or asbestos. For those things, it’s best to hire a qualified specialist.
