ABOUT US

welcome to hunter's house

At Hunter's House, we believe that a truly healthy life begins with a healthy home. While many of us diligently focus on sleep quality, nutrition, exercise, and emotional wellbeing, we often overlook how profoundly our living environments impact our health. Today, the average person spends 90% of their day indoors, yet most don't realize indoor environments are typically 2-5x more toxic than the outdoors. 
‍
Why? With the average American home approaching 40 years old, we're primarily living in spaces with accumulated environmental issues. These aging structures have weathered years of climate exposure. In Minnesota, our long, severe winters necessitate extensive heating that creates ideal conditions for moisture accumulation and hidden mold growth. The everyday products we bring inside—from furniture to cleaning supplies— are built from toxic materials. The city tap water we drink flows through pipes built over 100 years ago and technological innovations (wifi, bluetooth, smart phones) brought into our homes all introduce more toxic chemicals into our environment. And while our homes may be energy-efficient, these modifications have made many homes increasingly airtight, trapping pollutants inside. 
‍
‍Many of us have a personal experience with a home health scare… I've lost two close family friends to lung cancer directly linked to radon exposure (the leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers). I also have neighbors that have experienced mold toxicity from long-term exposure to growth in the basement. 

The negative health impacts can be profound, but even beyond that small changes can not only protect, but optimize our daily living environments. When my fiancé and I purchased our 1952 home a few months ago, we addressed potential toxin exposure through strategic improvements: conducting radon tests, installing natural spectrum lighting, adding under-sink water filtration, positioning air purifiers, and hardwiring internet in key areas. These simple changes noticeably boosted our energy and wellbeing, transforming our house into our home.

What if we can stay ahead of home environment health issues? Just as you schedule annual check-ups to protect and optimize your health, your home deserves its own regular "physical examination." With proper testing, most environmental health hazards can be identified and through practical modifications, successfully remediated. At Hunter's House, we've created the Household Audit—a comprehensive assessment that does for your living space what an annual physical does for your body. With specialized knowledge of Minnesota's unique challenges and access to advanced testing equipment, we help families identify, understand, and address these invisible threats, ensuring your home supports your family's wellbeing.
