Document everything during your final walkthrough, schedule professional inspections before warranties end, and don't assume "new" means "built right." Our contractors fix builder mistakes and spot defects before problems become your financial responsibility.

Our contractors understand the specific challenges facing Scott County homeowners in one of Minnesota's fastest-growing areas.
Rapid Development Growing Pains
Scott County grew fast, and some newer builds took shortcuts to keep up. Rushed grading can leave drainage problems, and roads and pads crack when the base under them was not prepped right.
What to look for:
- Make sure they check the grading and base work the builder rushed.
- Drainage that sends water toward the house needs fixing.
- Ask them to re-size any systems the builder left undersized for the load.
Minnesota River Flooding Risks
Homes near the Minnesota River and its tributaries flood again and again during spring snowmelt and heavy summer rains. Low-lying basements take on water, and sump pumps burn out from running too much.
What to look for:
- Look for a battery backup so the sump keeps running in an outage.
- Make sure the sump discharge is routed well away from the foundation.
- Ask what flood zone you are in and what insurance needs.
New Home Warranty Issues
Builder warranties run out fast, often before problems show up. Foundation settling, roof leaks, HVAC failures, and plumbing trouble tend to appear right after the coverage ends.
What to look for:
- Make sure they write up and photograph issues before the warranty expires.
- Ask them to tell a builder defect apart from normal wear.
- Ask them to help you press the developer for the repairs they owe.
Mixed Housing Age Challenges
Scott County has everything from century-old farmhouses to brand-new subdivisions. A 1920s farmhouse and a 2020 builder-grade home need very different work, code, and upgrade plans.
What to look for:
- Look for someone who reads what your home actually needs, not one set fix.
- For a farmhouse, they should know old framing and materials, not just new builds.
- Ask them to set upgrade priorities that fit the home's age.
