Local housing

Homes in Monticello.

Monticello housing runs to newer subdivisions and an older downtown core, across the river-side neighborhoods and new development, on river terrace and rolling till — and that mix shapes what a residential inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Monticello

Monticello was platted in 1854 and has an older core along the Mississippi River, but the city adopted a growth plan in 1996 and much has been built since, including retail since 2002 and a new I-94 interchange in 2006. That means a residential inspection can involve an old downtown house or a recently built subdivision home. For older houses the focus is foundations, aging systems, and moisture; for newer ones, grading, workmanship, and mechanical equipment. We report what we see so a Monticello buyer knows what to expect.

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.
How does an inspection differ between old Monticello and the newer subdivisions?
The systems and the risks are different. Older houses call for a close look at foundations, wiring, plumbing, additions and roof age. Newer houses call for grading, ventilation, flashing, deck and exterior details. The same major systems matter in every house, but what turns up is weighed by age and by how the house was built.
What is common in Monticello?
A wide age range — we date every major system so you know what is near end of life and what has years left.
