Why Minneapolis Trusts Us

An Inspection Built to Protect You β€” Not the Sale.

Most home inspectors get the majority of their business from real estate agents. That means there's pressure β€” explicit or not β€” to keep things moving and not torpedo deals. We don't operate that way.

  • Buyer-paid, buyer-aligned. We work for you. Period.
  • Plain-English reporting. No 200-page boilerplate dumps. Just what matters, with photos and short video.
  • Walkthrough included. We meet you on-site at the end and physically show you everything we found.
  • Unlimited follow-up. Call or email us with questions for as long as you own the home.
  • Repair contractor referrals on request β€” but never required.

Local Inspectors Who Know Twin Cities Housing.

We've inspected every era of Twin Cities housing β€” from 1880s St. Paul Victorians to brand-new Lakeville builds. Local matters: we know which subdivisions have foundation issues, which builders cut corners in the early 2000s, and which neighborhoods commonly have radon, polybutylene plumbing, or aluminum wiring.

Inside Our Inspections

What a Valley Home Inspection Actually Looks Like

From thermal imaging in the attic to sewer-line cameras and combustion testing β€” here's the work behind every report.

Most home inspections in Minneapolis are surface-level β€” a 90-minute walkthrough, a checklist, and a generic PDF dropped in your inbox. Ours aren't. Every Valley Home Inspection is 2.5 to 4 hours on-site, with the same set of professional-grade tools brought to every job: a FLIR thermal infrared camera, a calibrated combustion analyzer, a sewer scope camera (when included), a continuous radon monitor, moisture meters, voltage testers, and combustible-gas detectors.

You're invited to attend β€” and you should. The last hour is a guided walkthrough where we show you every major finding in person, demonstrate how the home's systems work, point out where the shut-offs are, and answer every question you have. Then within 24 hours, you get a 90+ page illustrated digital report with photos, short video clips, infrared images, and a clear color-coded priority ranking β€” showstoppers, negotiation items, monitor-only, and cosmetic β€” so you know exactly what to do next.

The gallery below is a sample of what an inspection actually involves. Real tools. Real findings. Real attention to detail.

"Mike caught moisture damage behind the basement wall that the seller's inspector missed. We negotiated $14,000 off the purchase price. Worth every penny."

"Did our radon test, sewer scope, and full inspection in one visit. Got the report next morning. Found a cracked sewer line that saved us from a $20K surprise."

Common Questions

Minneapolis Home Inspection FAQs

The questions Twin Cities homebuyers actually ask us most often.

How much does a home inspection cost in Minneapolis MN?

Our buyer's home inspections start at $395 for homes under 1,000 sq ft. Most single-family homes in Minneapolis price between $475 and $625 depending on square footage, age, and add-ons like radon testing or sewer scope. Multi-family and luxury homes are quoted individually.

How long does a home inspection take?

A typical 1,500–2,500 sq ft home in the Twin Cities takes 2.5 to 3.5 hours on-site. Older homes (pre-1970), larger homes, and homes with extensive add-ons like radon, mold, and sewer scope can take 4+ hours. We block our schedule generously so we never feel rushed.

How fast will I get my inspection report?

We deliver your full digital report β€” with photos, short video clips, infrared images, and a clear priority ranking of findings β€” within 24 hours. In multiple-offer situations or tight contingency windows, we can often deliver same-day.

Do you do inspections on weekends?

Yes β€” we inspect 7 days a week. During peak season (April–September) we offer evening slots and same-day appointments to accommodate tight Twin Cities closing timelines.

Can I attend the inspection?

Absolutely β€” and we recommend it. Plan to arrive for the final hour. We'll walk you through everything we found, demonstrate any major issues in person, and answer questions before the report is even written.

Do you include thermal imaging?

Yes β€” free with every full home inspection. Most Twin Cities competitors charge $100+ for thermal imaging or skip it entirely. We include it because it routinely catches hidden moisture, missing insulation, and electrical hot-spots that visual-only inspections miss.

Are you licensed and insured in Minnesota?

Yes. Minnesota does not currently require state licensure for home inspectors, but we hold InterNACHI certification, ASHI membership, MN Department of Health Radon Measurement Professional credentials, and carry $1M E&O / general liability insurance.

What if you find a major problem after the inspection?

Call or email us β€” for the lifetime of your homeownership. We don't charge for follow-up questions. If a defect was missed because we didn't perform to our standard, we work it out, full stop.
