Trusted Home Inspectors in Minneapolis, MN

My answer to experience is that I am experienced in numerous trades and have worked hours upon hours in excavation, foundations and masonry, rough and finish carpentry, roofing, siding, soffit, electrical, plumbing and HVAC. I built homes in Mn for 20 years and constructed over 1000. I have also done hundreds of remodels and been part of and done over 3000 inspections.

A home inspection is an independent visual inspection of the physical structure and systems of a home; similar to getting a yearly check-up at the dentist or doctor. If problems or symptoms are found, the inspector will recommend further evaluation.

Our inspectors are first experts in the field of construction. This prerequisite means our inspectors have extensive hands on construction experience. In addition, our inspectors have passed a nationally recognized home inspector certification program, and also complete 24 hours of continuing education each year. MN does not require this certification, but WE DO.

It is not necessary, however it is recommended. This is an excellent time to follow the inspector and ask specific questions directly related to the condition of the property. You will be taught how each system works as well as learn how to maintain them. Because you've seen the property first-hand through the inspector's eyes, you will find the written report easier to understand and gain confidence on your purchase.

No. A professional home inspection is an examination of the present condition of a home. It is not an appraisal, which determines market value. It is also not a municipal inspection, which verifies local code compliance. It is a physical inspection of the structure and systems of a property that identifies what may need repair or replacement. Therefore, an inspector will not pass or fail a house.
