Washington County · MNHome Inspection in Woodbury, MN
Woodbury is a 75,900-person Washington County city southeast of Saint Paul. The housing is dominated by 1980s-2020s suburban construction with continued new development.
What should I know about Woodbury before scheduling an inspection?
Woodbury inspection work is heavy on newer construction. The city had limited pre-1980 housing, so our work here focuses on polybutylene-era 1980s-90s housing, EIFS-era 2000s townhomes, and 2010s-2020s new construction with 11-month warranty inspection demand.
Woodbury's school district (South Washington County) is well-regarded and drives buyer demand from families. Many of our Woodbury inspection clients are first-time buyers who benefit from thorough walkthrough explanations.
How was Woodbury's housing built — and what does it mean for an inspection?

Original Woodbury housing. Polybutylene supply pipe widespread, original asphalt roofs at end-of-life.
Continued expansion. Polybutylene, original asphalt roofs, original 80% AFUE furnaces.
