Residential Inspection in Hopkins, Hennepin County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Hopkins is a compact inner-ring suburb of bungalows, postwar homes and walkable older blocks.

Residential inspection is the heart of Closer Look — close to 95 percent of what we do across Saint Paul, the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota. 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 conditions in Hopkins

Hopkins is a compact city of about four square miles that grew from an 1850s settlement and a threshing-machine manufacturing base, and its homes reflect several building eras close together. On a residential inspection here, the roof, exterior, structure, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling and attic all matter, with attention to how older systems have been updated over time. Creeks on the north and south sides make drainage around the foundation a standing item on our checklist.

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.
Does Hopkins require a city inspection before a home is sold?
No. Hopkins repealed its Truth-in-Housing evaluation requirement, effective January 14, 2021, so sellers there no longer need one to sell. Whether or not a city process applies, a buyer's inspection is independent and looks at roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, and moisture. Contact the city for its current requirements, and use our report to plan repairs and negotiate with what you actually find.
Do you cover Hopkins?
Yes — its bungalows and postwar homes get a thorough read of their era-specific systems.
