Jim Ingebrigtsen

I provide very thorough and detailed inspections of the property performed in substantial accordance with the scope and standards of practice of both major national inspector associations (NAHI and ASHI). I am a member of mshi.org(Minnesota Society of Home Inspectors).

I offer Radon testing as an option.

I am licensed by Minneapolis and St Paul to perform Truth in Sale of Housing(TISH) evaluations. City licensing is the only licensing for home inspectors in Minnesota.

My goal is to provide you the information you need to make an informed decision about the actual condition of the large investment you are about to make and call home, with special attention paid to safety issues. Every house has issues,and the issues are often specific to that time period.  You need to know if the issues are major or minor and what you should do about it. I provide a detailed report that identifies the issue(including photos), why it's an issue, and what you should do about it. I also include in the report helpful information about specific systems or components installed in the home to further your understanding about the property you are buying.  

Please call me at 612-747-2387 or better yet, email me at indepthinspections@gmail.com to arrange a quality inspection of your prospective home.

Gauge Attributes

Customers can Gauge service providers on the following 10 attributes. Not all attributes will apply to all service providers.

  1. Punctuality and Timely Completion: No one likes to wait or have large windows of time where service providers "might" get to them. No one likes the job to drag out because of the service provider's other projects or if it becomes apparent that the SP did not plan well.
  2. Workmanship: No one likes shoddy work, shortcuts, or tradesmen who take advantage of the customer's lack of awareness of what is good quality work.
  3. Responsibility: Many home owners do not wear shoes in their home and service providers should wear covers over their shoes when necessary. SP's should not travel into rooms that are not in the work scope. They should not use the toilet without asking. If the SP soils or breaks something, they should try to replace it.
  4. Professionalism: A Professional does not try to add unnecessary work to the contract. Nor do they try to make themselves look good by demeaning their competition or by discussing religion or politics. Professionals stand behind their price and make the experience pleasant with the customer.
  5. Cleans Up Daily: Customers like to know that each day when service providers leave the room, it is in a broom swept condition, meaning nothing laying around loose, dangerous, all cords are rolled up, and trash or debris is contained or removed. SP's should clean up at the end of the job.
  6. Friendly: No one wants to hear service providers' personal problems. The service provider should be pleasant to be around.
  7. Responsive to a Customer's Call: Call backs should be made in the same day and the service provider should do what was promised.
  8. Well Organized: Generally speaking, from start to finish, the process went well, any concerns were addressed or corrected, and the repair or project ended well with everyone satisfied.
  9. Hygiene: The service provider should look clean, smell clean, and wear shoe covers indoors when needed.
  10. Recommended: Would you recommend this individual or company?
