What Minnesota Radon Specialists does

Minnesota Radon Specialists is a privately held radon and vapor intrusion mitigation contractor headquartered in Eagan, Minnesota, in the Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan area. The firm is led by two principals, Tony Hay and Brian Benasutti, and operates with a headcount in the 1–10 range. It serves residential, multi-family, school, and commercial property owners across the Twin Cities, Greater Minnesota, and additional Midwest states. The company has been operating in vapor mitigation since 2010, and currently notes that single-family home mitigation services are temporarily unavailable.

The firm's core offerings span radon testing and mitigation, vapor intrusion (VOC) mitigation, RRNC, and custom mitigation system design for new construction and complex retrofits. Mitigation methods referenced include Active Soil Depressurization (ASD), Sub-Membrane Depressurization (SMD), and Air-to-Air Exchanger systems. Diagnostic capability rests on Sun Nuclear continuous radon monitors, and the firm also resells Air Chek self-test kits to homeowners at $12.95. The technical stack is conventional field-service mitigation rather than a software or platform business.

Commercially, the firm prices mitigation system installations in the $1,200–$1,800 range on a per-project basis, with go-to-market driven by its website, inbound phone, and referrals from real estate professionals. Customer segments are deliberately diversified across individual homeowners, multi-family developers, schools and large commercial buildings, and owners of VOC-affected properties. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed outside funding, and operates under a dense stack of regulatory credentials — AARST-NRPP, NEHA, IEA, Minnesota Department of Health license #RMITS-00048, and MPCA Vapor Mitigation Contractor approval — that function as both compliance gating and competitive barriers in this regulated trade.
