  • Reliable, Expert, Accurate, Honest, Trustworthy, Dependable and Friendly

I’m Steve Kirk, a home inspector serving Rochester, Olmsted County and surrounding communities and counties. My construction background and working with the local building codes gives me a practical understanding of how homes are built and how their parts work together.

My goal is to give you a thorough examination of the property. I will dig into every corner of the home searching for safety concerns or problem areas and then explain to you in detail what is found to help you make informed decisions about your prospective home.

If there are findings in your home I will give you names of reliable and honest businesses or trades people who could help you. I do not work on homes where i have inspected due to conflict of interest, I always strive to rise above standards.

Let’s talk about your home.

Contact Steve to discuss your property, inspection details, and availability. Have the property address and your preferred inspection dates handy when you reach out.
