⚠ Radon Levels Threaten Health and Home Sales

Washington County has some of Minnesota's highest radon levels - this invisible, odorless gas causes lung cancer and shows up in thousands of homes. Home sales fall through when radon tests come back high and sellers haven't addressed the problem. Testing costs under $200, mitigation systems run $1,200-$2,500, and the work takes one day. Test your home now, especially if you have a basement or if the house was built before 2000. Our contractors install radon mitigation systems that meet EPA standards and include warranties. Don't wait until you're under contract to find a radon problem that kills your sale.

Washington County Property Challenges

Our contractors understand the specific challenges facing Washington County homeowners across diverse communities.

St. Croix River Valley Conditions

Properties near the St. Croix River and valley bluffs face unique challenges from high humidity, slope stability, and environmental restrictions. Moisture accelerates wood rot and mold growth, steep lots complicate construction access, and shoreline regulations limit what homeowners can change. Our contractors understand valley microclimates, work within environmental constraints, and use materials that handle high-moisture conditions.

Suburban Housing Stock Aging

Woodbury, Cottage Grove, and other Washington County suburbs contain thousands of homes built in the 1980s-1990s now facing simultaneous system failures. Original roofs, furnaces, water heaters, and appliances all need replacement around the same time. Our contractors help homeowners prioritize projects, budget for multiple upgrades, and tackle the most critical updates first to avoid emergency failures and expensive surprises.

Historic Preservation Requirements

Stillwater's historic downtown and other designated areas face strict preservation requirements for exterior changes. Special permits, design review, and approved materials lists slow projects and increase costs. Our contractors navigate these requirements, work with historical societies, and complete projects that meet preservation standards while modernizing function. They understand which shortcuts create problems and which approaches gain approval.

High Radon Prevalence

Washington County has some of Minnesota's highest radon levels, with many homes testing above EPA action levels. This invisible gas causes lung cancer and kills home sales when found during inspections. Our contractors install professional mitigation systems that reduce radon to safe levels, include warranties, and meet EPA standards. They test during installation to verify results and provide documentation for future sales.
