Credentials That Matter
When you hire a home inspector, credentials matter. They tell you that the person walking through your home has met a documented standard of knowledge, training, and professional accountability. Here is exactly what Acadiana Home Inspectors brings to every inspection.
Keith Blanchard holds Louisiana Licensed Home Inspector credential LHI #10752, issued by the Louisiana State Board of Home Inspectors. Louisiana is one of a select number of states that requires home inspectors to hold a state license — meaning every inspector practicing in Louisiana has met a minimum standard of education, examination, and continuing education.
Andy Stanford holds Louisiana Licensed Home Inspector credential LHI #10916, issued by the Louisiana State Board of Home Inspectors. Andy brings additional depth from his civil engineering background and years of hands-on construction experience.
Both Keith and Andy hold certification from the American Home Inspectors Training Institute (AHIT), one of the most respected home inspector training programs in the United States. AHIT training requires completion of comprehensive coursework covering all major residential systems and components.
Keith Blanchard holds IAC2 Indoor Air Quality certification (IAC2-94289), issued by the International Association of Certified Indoor Air Consultants. This credential qualifies Acadiana Home Inspectors to perform mold testing and indoor air quality assessments — a critical service in Louisiana's humid climate.
Keith Blanchard has served as a board member of the Louisiana State Board of Home Inspectors, giving him firsthand experience with the professional standards governing Louisiana home inspectors.
Keith holds HVAC certification and Mechanical Contractor licensing from his career in the air conditioning and heating industry — a background that directly informs his approach to inspecting HVAC systems, moisture conditions, and indoor air quality.
Here Is Why You Can Trust Us
Credentials are a floor, not a ceiling. The Louisiana LHI license tells you Keith and Andy have met the state's minimum standard. What it doesn't tell you is that Keith founded Acadiana Home Inspectors, which has inspected homes in Acadiana since 1995, that Andy brings a civil engineering degree and years of hands-on construction experience, or that Keith's background in HVAC and indoor air quality gives Acadiana Home Inspectors a depth of expertise that very few inspection companies in Louisiana can match.
Louisiana requires home inspectors to hold a state license because a home inspection is one of the most consequential services a homebuyer can purchase. A licensed inspector has passed a state examination, completed required education, and must complete continuing education to maintain their license. An unlicensed inspector has done none of that.
Always verify your inspector's license at the Louisiana State Board of Home Inspectors website before you book.
