About Us

We Strive to do Each Inspection as Thoroughly
As If We Were Buying the Property for Ourselves.

North Star Home Inspection LLC is dedicated to providing a thorough general home inspection for home buyers.  All inspections are done to meet or exceed the home inspection Standards of Practice of the State of Wisconsin as well as the standards of such organizations as the National Association of Home Inspectors and the American Society of Home Inspectors.  All reports are custom written and printed on site the day of the inspection.  Inspections are done Monday through Saturday on a first come first served basis as daylight allows.  We do our best to accommodate your schedule.  Clients are encouraged to call as soon as the offer to purchase is accepted so your inspection can be scheduled to meet the contract deadline.
