Meet Eric Altenbernd
Built by a remodeler. Delivered like an educator.
Years of remodeling, repair, and restoration work provide firsthand knowledge of what lies behind walls, beneath floors, and above ceilings. That practical experience helps Eric recognize conditions that deserve closer evaluation, while explaining findings in a clear, understandable way.
“Why should I hire Eric instead of another inspector? Because he's spent years not only inspecting problems, but repairing them.”
Most inspectors spend a few hours looking at a home. Eric has spent years taking homes apart, rebuilding them, and solving the kinds of problems homeowners hope never to discover after closing. That practical experience provides valuable perspective during every inspection.
Professional Experience
Eric Altenbernd is the owner of Cornerstone Remodeling LLC, serving homeowners throughout West Central Minnesota and the Fargo-Moorhead area. He brings years of hands-on experience remodeling, repairing, and restoring residential homes to every inspection.
That work has given him extensive experience evaluating structural, mechanical, and cosmetic conditions in homes of varying ages, and managing projects from initial evaluation and design all the way through final completion.
Inspection Philosophy
Eric believes a home inspection should educate the buyer, not simply produce a checklist. He focuses on identifying safety concerns, maintenance items, and significant defects while clearly explaining what they mean for you.
He is committed to providing clear, unbiased information so clients can make informed decisions, and he takes the time to answer questions before, during, and after the inspection.
Technical Background
Eric has practical knowledge of construction methods, building materials, and residential systems, with experience recognizing the signs of moisture intrusion, structural movement, and common building defects.
He uses modern inspection software to deliver organized, photo-rich, easy-to-read reports that make your home's condition simple to understand.
