Neil Saltzman

E-mail: Neil@StructureTech1.com
Direct: 612-205-1919

Neil began his career in the construction field at the age of 16 when his father secured a job for him on a commercial construction site. He continued working in construction for the next 20 years, taking time to get a B.S. in Forestry from the University of Minnesota.

A fellow building remodeler thought Neil should expand his interest into the housing inspection business and encouraged him to listen to a tape on the inspection industry. “The inspection industry is a wonderful way to use your skills in finding problems with homes as well as giving mini-education classes to clients during the course of the inspection.”

After taking many building code classes and securing his professional certifications, Neil began his career in home inspections in 1990.  In 1997, Neil purchased the business Structure Tech, and since then he has developed an organization that is well respected by the real estate and home inspection community.

Besides his love of work, Neil spends time with his wife and four grown children whenever possible. He also enjoys weekends at the cabin fishing, water skiing, jet boating, hiking, 4-wheeling, and cross country skiing.

Executive Connections


Duane Erickson

E-mail: DErickson@StructureTech1.com
Direct:612-205-4374

In 1974, Duane and his father built his first house, using permits and inspections.  He did all of the work at the house except for the exterior grading.  He found out that a good way to learn is to have the local building inspector tell you it's not right! 

Duane lives in Delano, and has become a living legend in the western suburbs of the Twin Cities.  If you're buying a big house in the western suburbs and you don't want any surprises, you call Duane.  Duane has been inspecting full time with Structure Tech since 1996, and has earned himself a devout following of real estate agents and clients.  We get a lot of calls from customers that remember Duane from their first home inspection in the '90s, and they want to make sure he's still around to do the inspection on their next house!

When not inspecting houses, Duane enjoys camping, hunting, fishing, and 4-wheeling with family.
