Buyer's Inspection

Our comprehensive buyer's inspections evaluate all major home systems including roofing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Available for properties up to 5,000 square feet with tiered pricing based on size. Inspections follow ASHI standards to ensure consistent, thorough assessments that identify potential safety hazards and maintenance needs.

TISH Evaluation

Municipality-required Truth in Sale of Housing inspections verify compliance with local building codes. Licensed in five Twin Cities jurisdictions, our evaluations focus on minimum safety standards rather than cosmetic issues. Includes re-evaluation services in Minneapolis and South St. Paul for properties that require follow-up assessments.

Radon Measurement

48-hour continuous radon monitoring meets EPA and MDH standards for real estate transactions. Conducted using MDH-licensed equipment, our tests identify elevated radon levels exceeding the 4.0 pCi/L action threshold. Services include multi-test packages for properties with multiple foundation types like basements combined with slab-on-grade construction.

Waiver's Remorse Inspection

Targeted evaluation for homes purchased without prior inspection, focusing on critical systems rather than cosmetic concerns. This $300 assessment includes heating, cooling, electrical, and structural components to identify potential safety issues and necessary repairs for new property owners.

Condo Inspection

Specialized inspections for condominium and townhome units, with pricing based on square footage and inclusion of HOA-specific mechanical assessments. Services cover interior systems evaluation while accounting for shared building infrastructure, with additional charges for in-unit mechanical components that require specific testing protocols.

My real estate agent recommended Adam from Leaf Building Services. He was professional and very polite. He arrived in a pair of workers coveralls, so I was hopeful it would mean he would be thorough. I could not have asked for a better home inspection. He was incredibly detailed in his inspection, and provided corresponding photos to back up any recommendations he found. He covered EVERY inch of the house, including the roof and attic space, where he discovered possible damage no one else would have seen. I have had 6 home inspections over the years and I would say with certainty that Leaf Building

The gentleman is extremely thorough. The final inspection report we received for one home were very detailed, saving us from a massive burden of deferred maintenance I'd never have thought to address. He's also very responsive to follow-up questions about things on the report. He's punctual, efficient, and professional.

As a Real Estate Agent, I choose this company first for my clients to get a home inspection, Adam always does a great job for my clients and is really professional. I like that he takes the time to explain to my clients that everything is not always a big deal, but when it is....he let's them know. great inspector.
