New Germany is a tiny, history-rich Carver County town with deep German-heritage roots and an older housing stock packed close together on its original village grid. Small, close-built, and decades-old homes have their own quirks — and we inspect for every one.

New Germany is one of Carver County's smallest and oldest communities, settled by German immigrants and still wearing its heritage in the streetscape. The homes here are largely modest, older, and built close together on the original village lots — many dating back to the early 1900s or before.
Close-built older homes bring specific concerns: shared lot lines and tight setbacks that complicate drainage, aging electrical and plumbing, original masonry chimneys and foundations, and additions stacked on over a century of ownership. We don't run a generic checklist — we inspect for what a small, historic town like New Germany actually presents.

A fresh coat of paint hides a lot. Here's the kind of thing a careful, locally-informed New Germany inspection brings to the surface.
New Germany's older homes were built with early framing methods, original brick chimneys, and aging foundations. We document settling, mortar deterioration, and structural concerns specific to homes of this age.
Close-built village lots leave little room to move water away from foundations. We trace basement moisture, efflorescence, sump operation, and grading that pushes water toward the home.
Decades-old homes often carry outdated wiring and undersized service updated piecemeal. We open the panel and document unsafe and outdated wiring methods clearly.
Older roofs reroofed over the years and under-insulated attics make ice dams a winter staple. We flag the insulation, ventilation, and flashing problems that let water back up under shingles.
Many New Germany homes still run on systems installed generations ago and updated piecemeal. We open the panel, test the plumbing, and tell you plainly what's safe, what's near end-of-life, and what's a real concern.
Plain-language reporting on every major system of the home — plus specialty testing when you need it.
Full 120-point evaluation of structure, roof, systems, and safety before you close.
