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.
Residential Solutions
Specialized inspection packages for every stage of homeownership.
