New Construction Inspection in Cottage Grove, Washington County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Cottage Grove is a southeastern suburb of postwar and newer subdivision homes near the river.

Local conditions in Cottage Grove

Cottage Grove has added large subdivisions in recent decades, and drainage is a priority on new sites. Framing, flashing at decks and windows, attic ventilation, insulation, grading and mechanical systems are all worth a look at whichever phase you choose. The final grade around the house needs a careful look. Builder-grade finish problems are easiest to fix before you move in, so we write them up clearly and include photographs for your builder.

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.
How old are Cottage Grove houses, and what is due for repair?
Population grew from 13,419 in 1970 to 38,839 in 2020, so homes span roughly five decades of building. Older ones tend to need roof, window, furnace and panel updates, while newer ones need attention to grading, ventilation and finishes. The inspection identifies which era's problems a given house has. Ask the seller for the age of the roof, furnace and water heater before the visit, so we can compare those dates with what we see.
Do you cover Cottage Grove?
Yes — postwar and newer homes alike across the city.
