STRUCTURE TECH HOME INSPECTIONS

What STRUCTURE TECH HOME INSPECTIONS does

Structure Tech Home Inspections is a family-owned residential and commercial property inspection firm headquartered in Saint Louis Park, Minnesota, serving the Twin Cities metro area. Founded in 1987, the company has completed more than 75,000 inspections and built a portfolio that spans buyer inspections, new construction and pre-drywall inspections, pre-listing inspections and consultations, walk-through consultations, 4-point inspections, Truth-In-Housing evaluations, and commercial building inspections. Its core technology stack is built around traditional field methods — visual assessments, video sewer camera inspections, radon testing equipment, moisture testing using penetrating probe meters (with 3/16-inch test holes sealed with caulk afterward), and Level 2 chimney inspections using specialized cameras. Specialized testing services for radon, sewer, chimney, mold, and stucco are positioned as add-ons that surface hidden risks a standard visual inspection cannot detect.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model, acquiring customers through self-serve online scheduling, phone, email, and real estate agent referrals. Distribution to consumers is reinforced by an unusually deep education-first content footprint: a home inspection blog in operation since 2007 with more than 1,000 articles, an active YouTube channel (inspectorreuben), and a weekly podcast (Structure Talk). The company also runs a Continuing Education program that delivers three or more classes per week to Twin Cities real estate professionals, which functions simultaneously as a professional services revenue stream and a referral-channel relationship layer.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly transactional — one-time fees for each inspection and specialized test — supplemented by professional services revenue from CE classes and consultations. The customer base is highly fragmented across individual homeowners, with home buyers as the primary segment, home sellers and commercial property buyers as secondary segments, and real estate agents as a business-to-business audience for referrals and CE. The company is privately held, with no external funding or M&A activity disclosed, and is led by CEO Reuben Saltzman alongside a named team of seven inspectors. Brand positioning is anchored by more than 5,000 five-star Google reviews and consecutive Gold Winner Minnesota's Best awards from 2022 through 2026.
