How long does a home inspection take?
A typical Minnetonka home inspection takes about 2.5 to 4 hours on site, depending on the home's size, age, and condition. Larger lake homes and estates take longer because the scope is genuinely more thorough — multiple mechanical systems, complex roofs, and shoreline considerations all add time.

What affects the timeline
Square footage, the number of systems, accessibility, and the home's age all factor in. A 1960s split-level inspects faster than a multi-level lake estate with EIFS and several HVAC zones — see luxury estate inspection.
Add-on services add time
A sewer scope, radon test setup, and EIFS probing each add time but deliver findings a visual-only inspection would miss.
