Every house has its own story, even before the first folks move in. As someone who reads houses, my job is to first learn that story, then write it. It helps inform my client so that he can proceed with the purchase process in a more intelligent manner. Avoid the poisonous influence of agents when it comes to choosing your home inspector.
The agent's interest in his commission is precisely contrary to your interest in the condition of the house. The better a home inspector can serve you, the bigger the threat he is to the agent's commission. It's the very definition of conflict of interest. The only way for a buyer to avoid becoming financially damaged by this conflict of interest is to vet the inspector yourself.

Services
Our usual service area is a 50 mile radius of Lafayette, Louisiana but we've occasionally traveled the furthest reaches of the state to reach clients. These are for both new and existing residential construction as well as manufactured housing, both modular and HUD-Codes (mobile homes). The visible condition of the home is assessed and reported via an onsite verbal report (optional) and an Emailed written report.

Mr. Marc is a true and honest professional!!! He has affordable rates coupled with high quality performance! He was able to complete my inspection with only 1 day notice. He is even available by text after regular business hours and on weekends. He answered my on Sunday evening after 8pm which was a relief! I am extremely happy with his performance and I received the results of my inspection in less than 24 hours. He took time to show me things in my home that were not part of the inspection because that is the kind of person he is. He even went above and beyond because we needed information about
