Do I really need an inspection on new construction in Glencoe?

Yes. It's a common myth that brand-new homes on Glencoe's growing prairie edge don't need inspecting, but new construction has plenty of room for missed details. Builders work fast, subcontractors hand off to one another, and municipal inspections check code minimums, not workmanship or every system. We regularly find issues on new homes: improper grading on clay lots that will pool water against the foundation, missing or skimpy attic insulation that invites ice dams, unbalanced HVAC, reversed plumbing, unsealed penetrations, and incomplete or improperly wired electrical. Catching these during your builder's warranty period means the builder fixes them on their dime, not yours later. We also recommend radon testing on new construction, since even brand-new central Minnesota homes can read high. A new home is a big purchase that deserves an independent set of eyes.
