What we find
The four-figure defects buyers miss.
Climate, housing era and soil shape the defects buyers see in this market. Here are four worth knowing before you sign.
Ice dams
Meltwater refreezing at the eave forces water back under shingles — the #1 cold-climate roof claim in MN.

Foundation cracks
Some are cosmetic; some end deals. We distinguish hairline shrinkage from structural movement on site.
Open →
Moisture & efflorescence
Stains and white salt deposits are evidence of past water entry — we map the source, not just the stain.
Open →
Siding & trim rot
A five-figure re-side risk on 1990s LP and cedar builds — easy to miss without a moisture meter.
Open →Why Hopkins homes need a local inspector
Hopkins sits in Hennepin County, 14 minutes from Twin Cities, inside the Twin Cities metro's freeze-thaw and high-radon belt. We calibrate every Hopkins inspection to the conditions that actually drive defects here — not a generic national checklist.
Seasonal concerns in Hopkins
Winter brings ice damming and attic-bypass condensation; the spring thaw exposes foundation movement and lot-drainage failures; humid Hennepin County summers accelerate concealed moisture and mold. Each season changes what we look hardest at on a Hopkins home.
Common defects by housing era
Pre-1960 Hopkins homes: knob-and-tube remnants, undersized panels, clay sewer laterals. 1965–85: aluminum branch wiring, original HVAC past service life. 1990s–present: improper grading, deck ledger attachment, and builder-grade envelope shortcuts including LP siding rot. We inspect to the home's vintage.
