Minnesota Home Inspectors
There is no state regulation of Home Inspectors in Minnesota. Therefore many people are performing home inspections with little or no experience or training. These are the inspectors with “online” certifications. They don’t want you to attend the inspection as they don’t want you to see how unqualified they really are. They’ll give you a “Free 90 day Warranty” or enroll in their “Home Buyback Program” and sell your personal information to other companies. These are typically the lowest priced inspections and are often referred by real estate agents. They have no insurance, and you’ll get a check list report with few or no pictures in a day or two. You’ll have to pay cash or write the check directly to the inspector since their “business” is on the side.
Extremely well. Ken was very diligent and performed a detailed inspection. The level of detail in the report Ken provided is the best I have ever seen. The pictures were clear as were the accompanying descriptions. Ken not only detailed issues but also gave indications as to the level of severity and needed interventions.
Mr. Rowe is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and thorough! I have no more questions in my mind about the purchase. He was there early, had lots of professional grade equipment for various testing. He was clean, dressed for the job, and displaying credentials. I cannot speak enough about his professionalism! I have dealt with so many “less than professional” people while dealing with homes/construction/purchasing/etc. Ken answered ALL of my questions with confidence. He was very patient while I asked about two million questions. The appointment was scheduled for three hours, yet he did not seem hurried to leave. He stayed and talked with us until we were satisfied with our understanding of all of the information presented.
Ken was very thorough and educational and a pleasure to work with! He took his time to make sure we didn’t have any questions by the time we left and explained everything that he noticed clearly. I would recommend him to anyone needing a home inspection! Very friendly!
Kenny has been a hero during our house search. No stone goes unturned and he has been very easy to work with. Very personable.
Ken Rowe, of Minnesota Home Inspectors, just did a full inspection of a home that my wife and I are considering. Our need for Ken’s report was fairly urgent and he went above and beyond to accommodate us. His inspection was meticulous. Within an hour of the conclusion of his inspection, we had received his detailed and clearly written report, and Ken walked us through it, explaining technical points, answering every question we had, and providing a real wealth of supporting information. His manner throughout was helpful, professional, and courteous. The information Ken provided dramatically improved our understanding of the pros and cons of our potential purchase. We had arranged for the home’s listing agent to also receive the report. That agent, a veteran of hundreds of home sales, was also very impressed with the high quality of Ken’s work. Thanks very much, Ken! Thanks also to Heather of Minnesota Home Inspectors for her excellent work in scheduling the inspection and providing clear and complete information about how the inspection would proceed.
I had a great experience when I called to make an appointment, and my conversations with the Inspector, Ken, were informative and concise. Ken gave me a ton of helpful information, as well as some personalized tips, and I could tell he was more than happy to help with any additional questions or concerns that I had. Thanks to the entire team for all your hard work!
