The purchase of a home is one the largest single investments you will ever make. With that in mind, it is extremely important that you learn as much as you can about the condition of the property and the possible need for any major repairs before making the purchase. A home inspection by a LSBHI-licensed inspector helps minimize the possibility of unpleasant surprises, unexpected costs and post-purchase headaches. It's important to remember that a reputable home inspector will also point out the positive aspects of a home, as well as the maintenance that will be necessary to keep it in good shape. After the inspection, you will have a much clearer understanding of the property you are about to purchase, giving you confidence and peace of mind What's more, home inspections are not just for new homebuyers. For existing homeowners, an inspection may be considered in order to identify problems in the making, and to learn important preventive measures to avoid costly future repairs. If you are planning to sell your home, you also may wish to have an inspection prior to placing your home on the market. This will give you a better understanding of conditions which may be discovered by the buyer's inspector, and an opportunity to make repairs that will put the house in better selling condition. EDUCATION IS THE KEY To be a Home Inspector in Louisiana, a person must be Certified by the LA State Board of Home Inspectors. One is required to complete 120 Hours of Home Inspector Education (90 Hours in the Classroom and 30 Hours in Field Training), pass the Home Inspector Examination, and accompany an inspector on 10 live inspections.
