Why This Season Matters
Spring is the highest-volume season for SW metro home inspections — purchase contingencies tied to summer closings, post-winter damage assessment on owned properties, pre-listing inspections ahead of MLS hits.

- Fireplace and chimney clearance
What an Inspection Adds
A seasonal inspection from a credentialed professional surfaces conditions a homeowner walkthrough cannot. Thermal imaging, safety checks, drone roof imagery, and the experienced eye on Eden Prairie-specific defect patterns make the difference between catching issues early and discovering them after damage.
