Here at Acadiana Home Inspectors, we provide the following services:

1.)  Pre-Listing Inspection

As a seller, a pre-listing inspection can offer you so many things you might be unaware of such as the following:

•         It allows you to see your home through the eyes of a critical and neutral third party
•         It alerts you to immediate safety issues before agents and visitors tour your home.
•         It may alert you to items of immediate concern.
•         It permits you to make repairs ahead of time without being rushed and paying too much because of a time limit contingency.
•         Defects won’t become negotiating stumbling blocks later.
•         You have the time to make the repairs yourself if qualified.
•         It helps you to price your home realistically.
•         It may relieve prospects’ concerns and suspicions.
•         It may encourage the buyer to waive their inspection contingency.
•         It reduces your liability by adding professional supporting documentation to your disclosure statement.

2.)  11-Month Warranty Inspection

It’s not too late for defects to be caught by the trained eye of our inspectors. The goal of the 11th-month Builder Warranty is to help you prevent the risk and possibility of costly repairs. This inspection is done prior to your 1st anniversary of homeownership while the builder is still responsible for most defects. 

How does that sound?

Great, of course! Most major constructions go unnoticed until 3-5 years where it might be too late or that the damages are now beyond repair. Our inspection covers all major systems and includes testing of the mechanical systems and components.

This ‘last chance’ inspection is something worth grabbing.

“Very pleased with my experience with Acadiana Home Inspectors and Mr. Keith. I went with them initially for the included termite inspection and re-keying but I also greatly appreciated the 33 page THOUROUGH report being sent a couple hours after inspection, as well as the direction on where to go for repair estimates. I would definitely go with them again.” – Review of Acadiana Home Inspectors By Savannah Morris

3.)   New Construction Inspection

While it’s common for buyers of re-sale homes to have them undergo an inspection, most buyers of brand-new homes do not. Apparently, most people think brand-new homes are perfect, which is actually not true. If you hear from your builder or others that it’s not necessary, be firm. Stand your ground.

We understand that building a new home is exciting and that’s true. But it’s also a complicated project and definitely, a huge investment so better to make things right than regret in the end. Mind you, the support, advice, and information that you get from a neutral third party are invaluable and you’d be thanking yourself later for making that wise decision.

Never leave out this important part in the building process.

4.) Commercial Inspection

Our Lafayette Commercial Inspection specializes in inspecting a wide range of commercial properties. Such as industrial and apartment buildings. Buying a home is an investment. Even more, if you’re buying a commercial property!

The inspection report will contain detailed information regarding every aspect of the property, from the interior to the exterior parts. The report will cover critical areas such as roofing, walls, electrical, plumbing, foundation, gas, and anything related to the structural condition of the property.

The report may also include information about the fittings such as air conditioning systems, heaters, doors, windows, and even determine if appliances are in working order. Assessments regarding the safety of the property will also be detailed in the report.
