Why Choose Quality Property Inspections?
Local Expertise, Trusted Results
Our team of certified inspectors has decades of combined experience inspecting homes of every style and age across the Twin Cities. From urban condos to historic craftsman homes, we’ve seen—and inspected—it all.
Detailed Inspections, Real Value
We go far beyond industry standards to inspect what others overlook. From testing every outlet and fixture to walking crawlspaces, attics, and roofs (when safe), we ensure no detail is missed.
Same-Day Reports With Visuals
Every inspection comes with a digital report delivered the same day. Reports include high-resolution images, detailed notes, and actionable recommendations—written in language you can actually understand.
Tools That Go the Extra Mile
We use the latest tools—including infrared cameras and moisture meters—to detect hidden problems before they become major repairs.
Our Home Inspection Services
We tailor our services to meet your needs, whether you’re buying, selling, or building.
Homebuyer Inspections (Pre-Closing)
Before you sign the papers, our home inspectors conduct a top-to-bottom visual inspection of hundreds of components—foundation, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, appliances, roof, and more. Get a clear picture of the home’s condition before closing.
Pre-Listing Inspections for Sellers
Selling your home? A pre-listing inspection gives you the upper hand. Know what issues may arise in a buyer’s inspection and address them ahead of time—so you can sell faster, with fewer negotiations and better offers.
New Construction Phase & Draw Inspections
Keep your building project on time and on budget. We offer construction draw inspections and phase inspections to document progress, ensure quality at every stage, and protect both lenders and property owners.
Builder’s Warranty Inspections (11-Month Checkup)
Before your builder’s warranty expires, we perform a full inspection to catch any issues from the initial construction. Save time and money by resolving problems while they’re still covered.
Manufactured Home Foundation Certifications
Lenders often require an FHA-compliant foundation certification for manufactured homes. Our team conducts structural inspections to confirm compliance and provide the proper documentation for your mortgage.
Home Watch Services
Leaving for an extended period? We’ll keep an eye on your home. Our Home Watch inspections provide regular check-ins, complete with photos and reports, so you can rest easy knowing your property is secure.
