New Construction Inspection in Arden Hills

New Construction Inspection in Arden Hills, Ramsey County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Arden Hills is a wooded suburb of mid-century and custom homes on rolling terrain.

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.

Local housing

Homes in Arden Hills.

Arden Hills housing runs to mid-century and custom homes on rolling wooded terrain, across the wooded rolling neighborhoods, on rolling till — and that mix shapes what a new construction inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Arden Hills

Arden Hills does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Arden Hills 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 Arden Hills-area homes face.

Questions

Common questions.

Why inspect a brand-new home?
Even new homes carry defects — flashing, grading and rushed finish work are common. Catch them before you close.
When should it happen?
Before your final walkthrough, so the items land on the builder's punch list.
We are buying a custom home on a wooded lot in Arden Hills. What does an inspector check outside?
The whole lot is worth walking for grade and drainage, since rolling till and tree cover can push water toward the house. Foundation walls for cracks and moisture staining, gutter discharge points, retaining walls, decks and their footings, and the condition of trees close to the structure and the sewer line are all worth watching. Custom homes often have additions with different roof lines, so flashing and attic ventilation are worth checking where old and new sections meet.
What is specific to Arden Hills?
Sloped wooded lots — grading, drainage and walkout-level water entry are the recurring items, along with roof wear under heavy tree cover.
