Home inspections trusted by Prior Lake buyers and sellers
We've inspected hundreds of Prior Lake, MN homes — from Upper Prior Lake and Lower Prior Lake to Deerfield. Prior Lake home stock skews toward lakefront properties on Upper and Lower Prior Lake, golf-course homes in The Wilds, newer subdivisions in Jeffers Pond, and Spring Lake older builds. Median build year: 1998. School district: ISD 719 (Prior Lake-Savage).
That mix of ages means a Prior Lake 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.

Lakeshore retaining walls
Upper Prior Lake homes often have lakeshore walls — settlement, drainage failure, and DNR concerns.

Lakefront electrical at the shore needs GFCI on every dedicated circuit. Often missing.
Crawlspace moisture
Lake-area crawlspaces are notoriously wet. We document everything.
Roof ice dams on north exposures
Prior Lake's lake-effect snow makes north-facing roofs ice-dam targets.
