Southern Minnesota considerations
Older detached garages in southern MN often have substantial deferred maintenance. Garage roofs are often older than house roofs and need separate evaluation.
Common questions
Do you inspect detached garages?
Yes. Detached garages, sheds, and outbuildings are inspected as part of the standard inspection. Significantly larger outbuildings may add a small fee.
What about garage door openers?
We test the opener, the safety reverse, the anti-pinch sensors, and the manual release. Significant operational issues are documented with photos.
