It is the umbrella over every home service we offer, with specialty services available as add-ons: the full home inspection, buyer's and pre-listing reviews, radon, sewer scope, thermal imaging, mold and moisture, foundation, roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, new-construction and 11-month-warranty work, well-water testing and older-home evaluations — one trusted, buyer-side read on a Minnesota house, photo-mapped and delivered within 24 hours.

Local housing

Homes in Apple Valley.

Apple Valley housing runs to 1980s-1990s family homes, across the neighborhoods around the parks and lakes, on rolling, wooded sites — and that mix shapes what a residential inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Apple Valley

Apple Valley grew from 585 people in 1960 to 8,502 in 1970 as Orrin Thompson built out the mid-century neighborhoods, and later decades added more. That spread of ages is why our whole-house inspection adapts: we review structure, roof, electrical, plumbing and climate systems, then weigh each against the era it came from. The city's rolling terrain also means we spend real time on how each lot drains.

Questions

Common questions.

What counts as a residential inspection?
Any owner-occupied or rental dwelling — single-family homes, townhomes, condos, duplexes and small multi-family up to four units. The full home inspection is the core, and radon, sewer scope, thermal imaging and the rest are available as add-ons when the property calls for them.
Is residential really most of your work?
Yes — roughly 95 percent of Closer Look inspections are residential. It is what we are built around, from century-old capital-city homes to brand-new metro subdivisions.
Which services can be added to a residential inspection?
Any of them: full home, buyer's, pre-listing, radon, sewer scope, thermal imaging, mold and moisture, foundation, roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, new-construction, 11-month warranty, well-water and older-home inspections. Specialty services are available as add-ons.
What should I look for in an Apple Valley house built in the late 1980s?
Roof shingles, window seals, water heater and furnace age are the first items, since many of those are now at or past their typical life. Attic ventilation, the electrical panel, the sewer lateral and the basement for moisture matter as well. Houses of this age are often in good shape but with several components ready for replacement, and knowing which is the main value of the inspection.
Do you inspect Apple Valley homes?
Yes — late-century homes here commonly need attention to aging water heaters, HVAC and decks.
