Raines Home Inspections has been proudly serving Acadiana since 2007.

You need a home inspector. When you hire a home inspector, you are hiring an experienced professional who has training and experience in the building industry.  It is the duty of the home inspector to not only evaluate the condition of the house's major systems and structural integrity, but also to evaluate how these systems are working together and identify areas that need to be watched, repaired or replaced.  Your home inspector should be physcially capable of crawling on roof tops, underneath homes, and inside of tight attic spaces.  Ask the potential home inspector you are hiring if they are physically capable of crawling underneath a home or going inside an attic.    

Your home inspector gives you the Big Picture analysis of the house you are purchasing.  If the home inspector identifies the need for a costly, detailed analysis of any the house's systems or structures, the inspector will recommend the appropriate professional, which may be an experienced engineer with expertise analyzing that particular system or structure.  The need for this kind of expensive, detailed analysis is rare.  William G. Raines has been a quality Louisiana licensed home inspector since September of 2007.
