Local housing

Homes in Marshalltown.

Marshalltown housing runs to early-1900s homes and postwar neighborhoods, across the historic core and postwar additions, on central-Iowa till — and that mix shapes what a residential inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Marshalltown

Marshalltown was founded in 1851 and passed 10,000 residents by 1900, so the city has early-1900s homes plus later neighborhoods. The Iowa River runs through town, and a 2018 EF3 tornado and a 2020 derecho both damaged buildings, so roofs and storm repairs deserve a close look. Roof, structure, electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, and basement are worth a look, and buyers should ask whether repairs were done properly. Our report explains what is age-related and what needs action for a Marshalltown home.

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 storm damage matter in Marshalltown?
It is worth checking. Central Iowa has taken significant tornado and derecho damage, and a lot of roofing and siding here has been repaired or replaced under insurance. The quality of that work matters more than assuming a new roof is a good roof.
