The most thorough inspections. Guaranteed.
Choosing the right home inspection company is a big decision. A comprehensive inspection provides valuable information that can help you make informed decisions, negotiate repairs, and avoid future expenses. We offer a satisfaction guarantee: if we’re not the most thorough you’ve ever had, you don’t pay us. No fine print.
At Structure Tech, we know we charge more than most home inspection companies in Minnesota. Why? We charge more because we spend more time inspecting and writing detailed reports, we use the best tools and technology available, and we have an extremely well-trained team that will make a difference as you purchase your new home.
Our online reviews have a common theme: “Structure Tech charges more, and they’re worth every penny.“
