We Identify Risks Before They Cost You.

Q: How long does a home inspection take?

Most home inspections take between 2 to 4 hours depending on the size, age, and condition of the property.

Yes. Buyers often use the inspection report to request repairs, negotiate credits, or adjust the purchase agreement before closing.

LOCAL EXPERTISE

Why Lafayette Homes Are Different

You cannot use a generic checklist in Acadiana. Our unique environment creates specific risks that national chains often miss. Click below to explore.

Termite Vulnerability

Termites are a ‘when, not if’ threat in Acadiana. We identify conducive conditions like wood-to-ground contact, moisture pooling near the foundation, and cellulose debris that invite subterranean termites to attack your structure.

Subtropical Humidity

With humidity over 60% for most of the year, mold is a constant threat. If your HVAC system cools but doesn’t dehumidify, your walls can grow mold from the inside out. We offer mold testing designed to accurately assess your home’s indoor air quality.

Hurricane Resilience

Your roof is your shield. We check for proper installation of shingles, flashing, and attic structure. Your roof will be inspected inside and out.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience with Select Inspections and couldn’t be more satisfied with their service. From start to finish, they were professional, thorough, and incredibly easy to work with. The inspector took the time to explain everything in detail, making sure I understood the condition of the property and any potential concerns. What really stood out was their attention to detail and the clear, organized report I received afterward. It was comprehensive, easy to read, and included helpful photos and recommendations. Their responsiveness and willingness to answer all my questions made the entire process stress-free. If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy inspection company, I highly recommend Select Inspections. They truly go above and beyond to provide top-quality service.
