Residential Inspection in Roscoe

Residential Inspection in Roscoe, Stearns County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Roscoe is a Stearns County farm village built around St. Agnes Church, once called Zion.

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 Roscoe.

Roscoe housing runs to early-1900s farm-village houses, a thin postwar stock, and a scattering of newer builds and acreages, across the small townsite around St. Agnes Church, the old Great Northern grade and the farms of the surrounding township, on glacial drift plain of central Stearns County, in the Sauk River country — and that mix shapes what a residential inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Roscoe

Roscoe does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Roscoe sits in Stearns County, in EPA Radon Zone 1, and MDH reports more than two in five Minnesota homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk. Finished basements concentrate radon, and only a 48-hour test tells you the number. Footings here must reach the 3-1/2-foot depth Minnesota Rules 1303.1600 set for the southern frost zone, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle is what drives the settlement cracks, frost heave and ice-dam wear that Roscoe-area homes face.

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.
Roscoe was once called Zion — what does that history say about its houses?
It says the village is old and built around a church. Roscoe began as Zion with a post office in 1865, was renamed in 1914 for a railroad executive, and the Great Northern tracks were abandoned in 1988. A church was dedicated on the St. Agnes site in 1898. Houses cluster near the church and the old rail line and run to a century old. Foundations and basement walls, old wiring and plumbing, roof age and chimneys, and whether each home is on a private well and septic system are the main questions.
