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.“

Home Inspection Pricing FAQs
Quick answers from the Structure Tech team. Don’t see your question? Call (952) 915-6466.
How much does a home inspection cost?
Our home inspection price depends on the size of the house, its age, and the type of inspection.
Use our pricing and scheduling tools, or call the office and we’ll give you a quote that includes everything you want inspected.
Why does Structure Tech cost more than some inspection companies?
We charge a little more because we spend more time on the inspection, the report, and explaining what we find.
Our inspectors’ training and tools let us do a really detailed job, and that helps you make a smart decision about the house. In other words, we think we’re well worth it.
Are additional services included in the home inspection price?
No. Radon, sewer, chimney, mold, and invasive moisture testing each have their own fee, separate from the home inspection.
Ask for a quote that includes everything you want so you can see the full scope and the full price up front.
Does infrared imaging cost extra during a home inspection?
No. Infrared imaging is part of every Structure Tech home inspection at no extra charge.
Specialized services like invasive exterior moisture testing are a different story. They have their own scope and fee.
Which construction year should I use for a remodeled house?
Use the original construction year unless the house was a complete tear-down.
Even a house that’s been brought down to the studs usually still has some original stuff, like the electric service, water piping, building drain, and foundation. That mix of old and new actually makes remodeled houses more complex to inspect.
Is there a discount when the roof is covered in snow?
No, we don’t offer a discount for snow, but we don’t charge extra either, even though it’s more work.
Snow limits what we can see and makes the inspection a lot harder, and we’ll note those limitations in your report.
Can I get an exact quote before booking?
Yes. We can give you a quote for your specific property before you book.
Send us the address, size, construction year, and the services you want, and we’ll nail down the scope and total cost.
Do commercial inspections use the same pricing as homes?
No. Commercial inspections are quoted based on the building and the scope we agree on.
Send us a commercial inspection request with the building details and your deadline, and we’ll put together a proposal.
Can I book an ancillary inspection without a home inspection?
Yes. Every one of our ancillary services can be booked on its own.
Tell us which service you need, the property, and your timing, and we’ll confirm availability and pricing.
Where can I find current Structure Tech inspection fees?
Our current fees are on this Pricing page, or you can call the office for a quote on your specific property.
Prices vary by service and by house, so confirm the total before you book.
