What to Expect for Your Home Inspection
Know Before You Buy Or Sell
Whether you're buying your first home, preparing to sell, or simply want to protect your investment, Geaux Home Inspections gives you peace of mind through thorough, professional residential home inspections across Louisiana.
From the first phone call to the final report, we’re here to guide you through the entire inspection process very clearly, professionally, and without the fluff. Based in Greenwell Springs and serving clients across the state, we’re proud to help Louisianans make informed decisions before they close the deal.
A Walkthrough You Can Trust. Not Just a Report, But an Education
When you schedule an inspection with us, it’s more than a checklist, it’s a walkthrough with a trained eye and a local expert.
During the inspection, our certified home inspector will walk the property with you and your real estate agent (if present), pointing out any major concerns and discussing items that may require future maintenance or monitoring.
Expect a collaborative process where we:
1. Walk the entire property with you
2. Discuss current and potential issues
3. Highlight areas of concern for safety, code, or future repair
4. Answer your questions as we go
5. Empower you with actionable insight about your home
After the Inspection: What You’ll Receive
Immediately after the inspection you’ll get a easy-to-read report delivered in both HTML and PDF format, complete with:
1. High-resolution images of all issues
2. Summary of findings by category
3. Detailed notes on safety concerns, deferred maintenance, and system status
4. Clear recommendations for repair, further evaluation, or regular maintenance
This report becomes your tool for negotiation, planning, or peace of mind whether you're buying, selling, or staying put.
Why an Inspection Matters. Even for Newer Homes
You might think a home built in the last 5–10 years doesn’t need an inspection. We see it differently.
Many newer homes hide issues that weren’t caught during construction and some defects only show up with time. Our inspectors regularly uncover problems like:
1. Incorrect HVAC wiring or breakers
2. Roof or flashing leaks
3. Grading issues that cause pooling water
4. Missing attic insulation
5. Plumbing or drainage flaws
6. Poor foundations or cracked driveways

Testimonials

James Chetta
Greenwell Springs, LA
Richard was so professional and meticulous. He answered all our questions with obvious depth of knowledge. He gave us a verbal summary of his key findings when he finished his inspection and followed that up with a very detailed, 64-page written summary which included pictures pointing to specific findings the next morning. Richard probably saved a catastrophic calamity by finding an electrical overheating issue while inspecting the entrance service panel with his thermal camera. I could not recommend a better home inspector.
Nick Snodgrass
Baton Rouge, LA
Richard was fantastic for our house inspection while under contract. He was thorough, checking every detail and also took the time to explain things to us. Very friendly and professional, I recommend him to anyone looking for a home inspector and we will use him again in the future.
Lauren Legendre
Prairieville, LA
Richard earned an easy five stars from me. His inspection was more thorough than I could have imagined. He took the time that was needed and explained all the issues he came across. The house I had inspected was an older house which appeared to need mostly cosmetic work but he uncovered the things I needed to know and was knowledgeable enough to answer my many questions and give me recommendations. He's also very professional and was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is a non-invasive, visual evaluation of a property's major systems — like the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and more. It helps buyers understand the condition of the home before finalizing a purchase.
How long does a home inspection take?
Most inspections take between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the home.
When will I receive my inspection report?
We deliver your detailed, photo-rich report within 24-48 hours, so you can make timely decisions during your buying or selling process.
Can I attend the inspection?
Absolutely. In fact, we encourage it. Walking the property with your inspector helps you see issues firsthand and ask questions in real time.
What if the inspection finds problems?
Almost every home has some issues — even new builds. The goal is to identify what’s urgent, what needs attention down the line, and what’s purely cosmetic. You can use the report to request repairs, negotiate pricing, or plan future maintenance.
Do I need a home inspection on a new construction home?
Yes — newer homes can still have hidden issues like poor drainage, missing insulation, or code violations. We even recommend an 11-month warranty inspection before your builder’s coverage expires.
