New Construction Inspection in Saint Paul
A new construction inspection gives a newly built home an independent review before your final walkthrough — because builders miss things, and an outside set of eyes catches them while the fix is still the builder's responsibility.
Saint Paul is home base for Closer Look. The capital city's housing skews older than almost anywhere in the metro — Victorian, Craftsman, and early-1900s homes wrapped around the river bluffs and the lakes — so an inspection here lives and dies on experience with original panels, knob-and-tube remnants, aging boilers, stone and block foundations, and the structural quirks of century-old construction. We read that pre-war stock the way it should be read, then deliver a photo-mapped report within 24 hours.

Local conditions in Saint Paul
Saint Paul is one of the metro cities that requires a Truth-in-Sale of Housing report before a home is sold. That municipal report is a limited disclosure ordered by the seller — it is not your own inspection, does not test radon or scope the sewer, and never works for the buyer. Saint Paul sits in Ramsey County, in EPA Radon Zone 1, and MDH reports more than two in five Minnesota homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk. Finished basements concentrate radon, and only a 48-hour test tells you the number. Footings here must reach the 3-1/2-foot depth Minnesota Rules 1303.1600 set for the southern frost zone, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle is what drives the settlement cracks, frost heave and ice-dam wear that Saint Paul-area homes face.
