Home inspections trusted by Apple Valley buyers and sellers
We've inspected hundreds of Apple Valley, MN homes — from Cobblestone Lake and Diamond Path to Pilot Knob. Apple Valley home stock skews toward 1990s–2000s split-levels, walkout ramblers, newer construction near Cobblestone Lake, and 1970s–80s ramblers along Pilot Knob Road. Median build year: 1995. School district: ISD 196 (Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan).
That mix of ages means a Apple Valley inspector needs to know two things: what the older homes hide, and what the new builds get wrong. Twelve years and 3,000+ Dakota County inspections later — we know both.
