Residential Inspection in Richfield

Residential Inspection in Richfield, Hennepin County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Richfield is a first-ring suburb of small postwar ramblers, many now expanded or rebuilt.

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 housing

Homes in Richfield.

Richfield housing runs to small postwar ramblers, many expanded or rebuilt, across the tight postwar grid south of Minneapolis, on flat sandy outwash — and that mix shapes what a residential inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Richfield

Most of Richfield's roughly 10,000 single-family homes were built in the 1950s as small postwar houses for returning veterans, and the city's Richfield Rediscovered program has encouraged remodeling, additions and rebuilding. That mix shapes our inspection. Original 1950s electrical service and wiring next to newer additions, how old and new framing meet, roofs and chimneys, and basement walls and floors for moisture and cracking are the things to check. Where a remodel has been done, buyers should ask whether it was permitted and finished properly, and what each finding means for a buyer.

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 does the Richfield point-of-sale inspection mean for my purchase?
Richfield requires a city point-of-sale inspection before closing, so you can ask the seller or the city for the certificate and what it found. It is a separate city process and it is not a buyer's home inspection. Use it as a starting point, and rely on your own inspection for roof, structure, mechanicals and moisture. For the current rules, check with the city.
Are Richfield's expanded ramblers a special case?
They are — additions and second-story pop-tops are common, so how the new structure ties into the original matters, as does whether the electrical and HVAC were resized to match.
